Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Captain Carlos returned to the blue water on February 10 and set the Adventurer right in front of a hunting pair of big Dorados.
Our custom Poseidon Rods are holding up great, even when fighting such big fish on spinning tackle.
Great filets on the way, courtesy of the 23-foot razor blade.
Paul West and Amanda Sterling took a whirlwind trip throughout the whole country of Costa Rica, but when it was time to go fishing this Neptune Beach guy knew exactly where to go: the FishingNosara flagship Wanderer!
Amanda was neck deep in the action all day long, starting off with this fat Dorado and then adding a small White Tuna for the sushi platter.
The big highlight of the trip was this awesome Sailfish released by Ms. Sterling

“I am so proud of Amanda Sterling a 9′ Sailfish, 100 lbs, off the coast of Costa Rica, truly a rock star!” writes Paul. “Thank you…you guys are the best!”
Captain David turned in an awesome performance on a morning half day on February 10 with client Bill Zaidel and his son.
Giant Sailfish swarmed the boat early in the trip, keeping Mate Kevin super busy in the cockpit.
They also scored a pair of nice Dorados around 10am, then added a few more around noon.
More Sailfish were tearing up the spread, but Bill and boys showed no mercy.
Excellent five hour trip yielding four Sailfish releases…that’s how we do it on the Super panga.
Gordon Nielsen started his multi-day Costa Rican fishing trip with Captain David on the Explorer on February 9, and he got acclimated to the blue water battleground early and often.
This big Dorado was the first fish in the boat, then the Explorer was beset by some big Sailfish
This trio of nice releases is a great start to the week for Gordon…let’s hope for more great catches for Mr. Nielsen.
Harris Savin took the Adventurer offshore today and was rewarded with a fine Pacific Sailfish release. Seeing the mountains less than 5 miles from shore reminds us that the 1600 ft ledge is not out of reach for the 23-foot switchblade.
This excellent release was followed up a pair of 25lbs. Dorados for the dinner table.
The final score of the day was this magnificent Rooster fish release:
Great action on just a half day trip…it’s what we have come to expect from Captain Carlos and the Adventurer.
Jose Luis Barzuna joined Captain David and Mate Kevin for a blue water billfish hunt and scored a nice bunch of Sailfish releases.
Look at the amazing color on these Sails…lots of blue and green light from these monsters.
They added a 25lbs. Dorado late in the trip, capping of a very memorable day of offshore action.
Chad Langley and the boys finished off their week of furious fishing with more Sailfish release and some excellent eating fish on the Wanderer.
Chad tried to give the Sailfish an early Valentine’s Day present: a little kiss upon release!
They rounded out the day with Dorados and a tasty little Yellowtail Snapper.
You gotta love this itinerary: 6 nights in Nosara, 5 days of fishing!
The hardcore angling quartet of Ben James, Brad Simons, Chad Langley, and Kevin Poole began their fishing odyssey on board the legendary Explorer on February 2.
To say they got off to a fast start is the understatement of the year:
This high-flying Striped Marlin ain’t the biggest bully in the schoolyard but he had moves like a welterweight champion.
Chad put the screws to this fish as Captain David did everything he could to keep her centered behind the cockpit.
Finally they got the fish alongside and the fearless Captain Carlos (on loan from the Adventurer) executed a perfect billshot and release.
Later Ben got into it with a very aggressive Sailfish, but once again this billfish was no match for the barroom brawler Explorer.
These boys didn’t go hungry either, as Kevin KO’d this nice Dorado and Brad added a tasty White Tuna.
Good start to what should be a legendary week of hardcore fishing.
David Svec and the boys hit the water hard on the Wanderer today with hard-biting action to report. Right off the bat they nailed a big Dorado, then set course for Sailfish City.
The Sails bit aggressively and gave these Massachusetts anglers all the fight they wanted.
Good safe releases by First Mate Alex to ensure the survival of these spendid Sailfish.
A second Sailfish came calling in the early afternoon and this posse made quick work of him.
David and the crew have a trip scheduled on the Explorer this week and we are looking forward to their results.
The Explorer was pleased to welcome Tobias Marcuy and his group for a fish-filled day on the blue water.
This group had five Sailfish releases with some beautiful photos to show for it.
Check out this bright blue! Great work by Mate Kevin to keep these still-green fish under control. Safe releases all around make for a perfect day!
They also nabbed a pair of Dorados for the icebox; one came early in the day, the other was the last fish in the boat.
Excellent work by Captain David and the legendary Explorer!
