Dorado | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

January 10, 2014

Emily Fuller and her friends had a field day on the Wanderer with three Sailfish released and a pair of big Dorados for the dinner table.

Emily routed the first Sailfish alongside the flagship for a smooth release early in the trip.

After the release, they were treated to many Dorado strikes with four green monsters put on ice.

The action stayed strong later in the trip with two more Sailfish releases notched on the scoreboard.

That is some intense action for only a 5 hour trip. Great work by the Master Captain William and the Super Mate Alex!

Big Fish and Big Smiles for Keith Siegal and his posse on board the Wanderer. This fun-loving group of Texans took got their afternoon half day started with this excellent Dorado.

Later in the trip they were rewarded with an acrobatic Sailfish assaulting the flagship’s baits. It was a wild fight, but as usual the Wanderer was victorious.

Great hunting by Captain William and excellent fish handling by the awesome First Mate Alex!

Justin Morris and his girl hit on four different species of tasty fish with Captain Carlos on the Adventurer.

This beefy Dorado was the first catch of the day, but by no means was the biggest…get a load of this 30lbs. Cubera Snapper:

They rounded out the day with a perfect-for-sushi Yellowfin Tuna and the elusive Yellowtail Snapper. Both of these fish add a fantastic variety to the dinner table.

Great work by Captain Carlos and the excellent 23-foot Adventurer.

Some tough seas offshore today for Doc Hatton and his posse on the Wanderer, but these New Jersey anglers ain’t scared of a little swell…compared to the Montauk Canyons this is child’s play.

Doc picked up right where they left off on the 5th with a pair of Dorados in the fishbox early on.

Later in the day they found this juvenile Sailfish roaming around and snatched him up for a safe quick release.

These hardy fishermen have another trip on the books this week and we look for a fantastic finish for Doc Hatton’s crew.

Doc Hatton and his crew got on a big bite of Dorado today on the Wanderer. Check out this mammoth green monsters:

With three big Mahi in the box, they found a fellow appreciator of fresh Dorado meat: this high-flyin Sailfish:

The trip went so well that they released this late-day Dorado estimated under 10lbs…come back when your grown!

Great work as always by First Mate Alex and Captain William on the boat that is fit for all forms of marine combat.

Maikel Cotton’s group exploded onto the scene on the mighty Wanderer with a Striped Marlin release backed up by several Sailfish and a few Dorados for good measure.

This Stripey was the highlight of the trip and is estimated by First Mate Alex to weigh in around 250lbs.

Captain William has the map to Sailfish City and once again put his clients right on top of a swarm of super Sailfish.

Dorado filets round out this trip for these fun-loving clients!

Great work all around by Captain William and First Mate Alex, the Kings of Garza Bay!

Excellent day of Dorado action for Irene and Bruce Page on the Wanderer.

The green monsters came in at a steady pace and the whole group got a change to master these Mahi Mahi.

Some people think that First Mate Alex has to best gig in town, but it’s not all smiling in the photos with world class fish…guess who got to release this accidental Shark by-catch?

All in a day’s work for the famous Wanderer!

Sheila and Eric Wollam brought their family down to Nosara and took advantage of the great fishing action this week. These Texas anglers put on a show with two Sailfish releases and two big Dorados for the dinner table.

It’s great to see a family enjoying their time on the water and reminds us of what fishing is really all about.

Excellent job by the mighty flagship Wanderer and the Wollam family.

Tilford Smith and his boys had a big time on board the Wanderer with reports of big Dorados, bigger Sailfish, and the super-big-time Double Sailfish Release!

Mr. Smith got things off to a quick start with this Sailfish release (above), then the boys got down to business.

Captain William has a sixth sense with Sailfish and the mighty Wanderer was on her game this day!

They each released a Sailfish, then the magical double strike occurred just after 1pm.

Safe releases all around by the incomparable First Mate Alex.

They also boated a pair of nice Dorados for the dinner table, illustrating that the Wanderer is truly the best all-around vessel in Garza Bay.

Corey Gammill is the latest Connecticut angler to try his hand on our blue water, and Captain Carlos and the fearless Adventurer showed him a great time. Check out this beefcake Dorado they put on ice.

This was the highlight of Corey’s five hour trip which also included some small Snappers and Bonitas.
