Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Mike Burling and his crew of legendary Fernandina Beach anglers have put a whopping on a lot of billfish in Nosara over the years, and they added to their legacy with a huge day of Sailfish releases on the Explorer.
They started the day with this sweet Double Sailfish release.
Great fish-handling by Mate Kevin to see to both safe releases.
The crew picked off Sailfish one at a time for the rest of the day, scoring four more releases.
Captain David on the Discoverer is on a great run of Sailfish releases, and he scored big today with client Dan Watts.
After an early Double Sailfish release, they added three more Sails in the afternoon.
Great work by the battleship!
Daniel Martinko and his bride Vicky celebrated their honeymoon on the Explorer with a fantastic Double Sailfish release.
They backed that up with several more Sails, including this beauty reeled in by Vicky:
Captain Carlos kept the pedal to the metal and scored several more super Sailfash to round out the day.
Our great friend John King is from our backyard of Atlantic Beach, FL and we are proud to support his wife Susan King’s charity Beaches Emergency Assistance Ministry (BEAM) in their annual auction.
He came down to Nosara to ply the blue water, and theย Wanderer delivered a spectacular Double Sailfish release.
It’s unusual for us to get an email from a client mere minutes after they get back to shore, but Roy Jackson hit us up with the email titled: Awesome Day!
“4 sails and one 400 lb marlin. Got some great HD video of the marlin on the gopro. That was a long 45 minutes to land it.“
Now let’s enjoy some photos from this fight:
The rest of the day had strong action for Roy and the whole family.
The kids really put on a show with a Double Sailfish release, expertly coordinated by First Mate Alex.
It’s always great to see youngsters posting such great results. Fantastic fishing day by the Jackson family and the mighty Wanderer!
The Discoverer delivered the goods for Sergio’s Costa Rica Adventurers Loren and Viv Keen, James and Christie Lawson, and Frank and Susan Kinsinger.
After some early morning Sailfish releases, they scored a big hit with this Double Sailfish Release:
Great work by the big battleship Discoverer.
Roger Bowgen and his posse returned to the Wanderer for a fantastic full day trip to the blue water.
Last trip they scored a bunch of Marlin releases, and on this trip they put a whipping on a nice number of Pacific Sailfish
They scored two early releases, then got a taste of the Wanderer‘s true might with a Double Sailfish release.
The action stayed strong all day, with eight total Sailfish releases by sundown.
February 28 brought great action on the Wanderer as she scored another Double Sailfish release…that’s two in one week!
This day also included three solo Sailfish releases, making for a banner end to a great month of action.
The Wanderer was back in action with client Dennis Cinquiano enjoying great action with the flagship.
They stayed inshore in the morning and snagged a beautiful Rooster Fish, which was released after the photo.
Around noon Captain William followed a flock of Frigate Birds (also called Marlin Birds) offshore to a boiling bait ball.
In no time the blue beauty was hooked up to a pair of Sailfish.
Great fight coordination and fish handling by First Mate Alex lead to a beautiful Double Sailfish release.
They added a final Sailfish release to end the day:
Excellent work by the mighty Wanderer!
Captain Carlos on the super panga Explorer have been on fire this month with lots of Sailfish action leading off the scorecard.
They started the month with an awesome Double Sailfish release. Great work by Mate Kevin to handle this fight and get these fish properly de-hooked and swimming free.
This double release was a sign of things to come…February has brought huge numbers of Sailfish releases for the super panga’s clients.
The filet bags stayed full this month also…check out the size on this Tuna:
Of course plenty of Dorado were harvested by the Explorer.
Great work by the dynamic duo of Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin!
