Arkansas angler David Gibbons followed up with another Marlin release on November 21 with Captain Carlos on the Discoverer.
They also nagged a two super Sailfish releases.
This group didn’t return to shore empty handed; after the billfish releases they added a Dorado for the dinner table.
Theย Harvester continued the month of strong fishing on the 20th with a nice Dorado score.
Great fishing stories start with hardship. David Gibbons’ flight into Costa Rica was delayed one day due to bad weather. “We will be there tomorrow come hell or high water!” wrote David in an email from the airport.
This Blue Marlin also adjusted his schedule, and both angler and fish met up for a big battle on November 19th.
These Arkansas anglers also had appetites from the travels, and these dinner table-worthy Dorados with certainly fill the need.
Great work by the big battleshipย Discoverer!
Theย Discoverer welcomed Thomas Kerl’s group for a 5 hour half day on the 18th, and despite the shortened day the battleship still delivered the goods.
Captain Fico reports that the staple catches of Yellowfin Tuna and Dorado were present, but suprisingly they also nagged a big Wahoo.
These silver bullets are common in our area but we rarely catch them because their sharp teeth destroy our all-monofiliment rigs (a Wahoo-specific rig uses wire instead of mono). Guess is was a lucky day for the big battleship.
Theย Adventurer led the pack on the 18th with a crazy day of action that included BIG Dorados and Yellowfin Tunas.
They even scored a Rooster fish release at the end of the trip.
Amazing action by the very busy Captain David.
Captain Alex kept scoring on the 18th with big Dorado catches topping the scoreboard.
Great work by the mighty mega panga!
Theย Harvester got it poppin’ on the 17th with a wide variety of filets on ice.
This group of European anglers offerend no quartor with catches of Dorado, Yellowfin Tuna, and the elusive Needlefish.
Ryan Brown’s group split up between theย Wanderer andย Discoverer on the 13th for a big day of fishing fun.
A sweet Blue Marlin was released on the Discovererย and was backed up by a nice Dorado.
Meanwhile on theย Wanderer, the group loaded up on fine table fare.
Yellowfin Tunas made up the morning’s haul, yielding to big Dorados later in the trip.
Captain Fico and the Explorerย got into the action on November 12 with this excellent Dorado score.
Mark Cooney and Paul Tilton posted a pair of perfect catches with Captain Fico on the 11th. This meaty Amberjack lead off the scoring:
The memorable fish was this floor-sweeping Dorado.
Proof again that you don’t need a big boat to catch big fish in Costa Rica!
