Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

The resilient Wanderer scored this big Dorado with Steve Belew and his group on May 28th.
This catch represents the last fish that these old Star Rods will ever catch…Matty showed up today with a fresh shipment of our custom FishingNosara rods from Poseidon Fishing.
Lot of memories in these old sticks, but its time to put them in the museum where they belong.
Captain Carlos and Mate Fico are fitting in nicely on the barroom brawler Explorer. Check out this floor-sweeper Dorado they snagged:
They also are no strangers to Sailfish releases. Take a gander at this monster:
Great performance from the unstoppable Super Panga!
Dr. Bart Carey and his crew had a knock-out day on the Wanderer with not one, not two, but THREE Marlin releases.
The second Marlin came hot of the heels of the first, with only 45 minutes between releases.
They scored this tasty Dorado for the fishbox:
The final send-off was this amazing above-the-water Marlin fight. Check the action on this beast:
Great safe releases by First Mate Alex underscore another magnificent performance by Captain William and the famous Wanderer.
The Discoverer is more than a billfish battler; she also has the tools to bring home the bacon:
By ‘bacon’ we mean ‘big Dorado’!
Great catch by the McLaughlin posse who looks to be well-fed this week.
Gary Fiveash and his party had a blast on the Explorer as Captain Carlos helped them tangle with the most broad-shouldered Dorado you’ll ever see:
For heaven’s sake this fish is wider than both the angler and Mate Fico!
They also scored this whopper of a Yellowtail Snapper on a top water plug…a very tasty catch to augment the Mahi.
Great work by Captain Carlos and the strong Super panga.
Another outstanding inshore performance by the Adventurer on May 14. This couple scored a big Dorado and a nice Yellowtail Snapper.
Looks like we need a bigger icebox on the Adventurer if this kind of action keeps up!
The Adventurer continues to amaze as Mate Fico has really applied himself to maintain the high standards set on the 23-foot pocket knife.
Check out this big Wahoo, estimated at 35+lbs.:
That was the highlight of a trip that also included small Tunas and Dorados…a nice way to round out the shopping cart.
Michael Williams enlisted the plucky Adventurer for an inshore harvest and was rewarded with a wide variety of table fare.
This well-rounded haul included Dorado, Cubera Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, and the ultra-elusive Queen Snapper.
When you invest a full-day into Extreme Panga fishing, this is the kind of production you can expect. Great work by Mate Fico in keeping the pedal to the metal all day long!
The Adventurer scored four small Dorados on a brief 2.5 hour trip on May 8.
Clearly we’ve caught bigger Mahi before, but the pile of filets look the same from a 40lbs. as from these four 10lbs. fish.
The Adventurer has seen some great action this month, but we always want to pay special attention to the catches recorded by our young anglers.
This father-son sunset trip on May 3 yielded some nice White Tuna catches (above), and the next day another youngster grabbed himself a sandwich-sized Dorado:
Great work by Fico and the family-friendly Adventurer.
