Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Scott O’Kelley moved over the barroom brawler Explorer on the 24th, and proved once again that you don’t need a big boat to catch big fish in Costa Rica.
Excellent billfish releases got things moving the in right direction. Next, Captain Fico hooked up this big Yellowfin Tuna.
More Yellowfin Tunas and Dorados helped round out the haul.
Our great friend Ernest Willam Catsulis has returned to Nosara for Thanksgiving week, and he brought his family along for this fishing adventure.
Gavin Harper nagged this nice Sailfish release for the trophy case, and then Tyler, Amanda and Hannah brought home dinner with these excellent Yellowfin Tunas and Dorados.
Amanda Jennings on Facebook: “Amazing day fishing with [Mate] Kevin Sequeira at FishingNosara. Kids had a blast, memories of a lifetime. Many thanks to the entire team!!”
Texas angler Ronnie Green and his group performed brilliantly on November 23.
The Harvester filled up the icebox with multiple nice Yellowfin Tunas and Dorados.
Great work by the unbeatable Harvester.
The Discoverer and Scott O’Kelley continued the hot fishing action on the 22nd.
Multiple Sailfish releases were supplemented by a few nice Dorados for the dinner table.
The mighty flagship welcome Dominick D’Agostio for a full day of offshore action. Captain William dodged a few rainstorms while keeping these angler on top of several Sailfish and a nice Dorado.
Great resilience by the big blue beauty Wanderer.
Rickie Crews and his posse were back in action on November 11 with the Discoverer reporting more great Sailfish releases.
A nice array of Yellowfin Tuna found their way to the icebox.
The big meat fish of the day with this excellent Dorado.
Yummy!
The Discoverer welcomed back Rickie Crews and his group for a fun fishing campaign.
A nice Sailfish release was backed up a big Dorado.
These guys last joined us in February 2020; gotta love that he was among the last to fish before the pandemic and the first to fish since we’ve re-opened.
Our new friend Jack Beere travelled to Nosara all the way from merry old England, and they acquainted themselves nicely. The highlight of the trip was this MAMMOTH Yellowfin Tuna.
The rods stayed bent as the Discoverer dodged scatted rainshowers while staying on the bite.
These boys brought home a nice variety of Yellowfin Tunas and Dorados.
Great work by the big battleship!
Craig finished his three-day campaign on the Harvester with a rod-bending day of action. Our chief mechanic Marino was on the real for this fun Dorado catch.
Later in the afternoon the mega panga hooked up a supercharged Sailfish.
This monster put on a show, but Mate Wilson got the leader and pulled him alongside. The Sailfish spit the hook and escaped safely with the last laugh.
The first day of the season filled the refrigerator with Yellowfin Tuna filets, so on the second day Craig and Javier went hunting for trophy fish.
Javier belted up for the first Sailfish of the day. This crazy beauty was darting back in forth above the water.
After a nice battle she was safely released as always.
Craig was next into the breach and waged an epic battle with a big Blue Marlin.
Dario Hernandez joined his father for this trip and snagged a few sandwich-sized Dorado filets.
This trip was also a training run for Mate Antonio, who most of our clients know as our panga boat driver; he will be assuming the mate’s role on the Explorer this year, and will be training with Captain Alex on the Harvester to continue improving his skills.
