Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
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.
The Adventurer welcomed Sue Battis and her group today and got a nice bit of good-eatin’ fish.
This big Dorado is the scale-tipper of the day, but the smaller Wahoo caught later in the trip is probably the best tasting; when they are in the 10-30lbs. range is when silver bullets yield the best meat.
Nice job by Captain Carlos and the 23-foot switchblade.
John Hicks and his posse had a huge day on the Wanderer with big catches of Dorado and Yellowfin Tuna punctuated by a swarm of Sailfish releases.
First Mate Alex stocked the baitwell with live mullet and Captain William set course for Sailfish City.
In total this group tallied four big Sailfish releases.
A welcome suprise to our fishery recently are the ever-growing Yellowfin Tuna. Usually the Yella Fellas are scarce until March, but this year they are early.
Excellent day of multi-species action for the John Hicks group.
The blue water has moved extremely close to shore this week to the delight of our holiday anglers. Check out these blue water specimens caught less than 5 miles from shore:
This is why fishing in our area is the best bang-for-your-buck fishing in the world…most boats have a 40+ mile trip to find these monsters, while here in Garza they are in the front yard.
The Cooper Family had a fantastic fishing day on the Explorer with Captain David and Mate Kevin.
Mr. Cooper kicked off the action with a nice Dorado catch.
Thing really heated up in the afternoon as the Explorer was beset by wave after wave of Sailfish strikes.
Sarah Cooper scored this mammoth release, but right on the heels of this fish swimming away Jessica nabbed one of her own. These were the first Sailfish for each of these ladies, but they bested the beasts with the precision of old pros.
Mate Kevin saw to the safe releases as Captain David stayed one step ahead of these rocket ships. Great day of action on the super panga!
Jeff Allen and his buddy started the first of their two days on fishing on the Wanderer with a BANG! When you get on board and First Mate Alex has the lures lined up like rifle shells you know that something big is bound to happen.
Double Sailfish release less than an hour into the trip!
After the safe releases these boys would go on to put a pair of Dorados on ice for the dinner table.
Excellent trip by the boat that always comes out swinging!
David Pippins’ boys hail from the heart of Jacksonville, FL and they turned in a very productive half-day on the Super Panga Explorer with Captain David. They boated a pair of thick Dorados, then backed it up with a smaller duo of Yellowfin Tuna.
Great work by the barroom brawler and these boys from our backyard!
Bailey Brackhoff had an excellent day of Dorado action on the 23-foot Adventurer with Captain Carlos. Check out this pair of tasty Greenies.
All caught less than 5 miles out, to boot!
