Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
The action on December 31 was a little slow in the morning on the Explorer, but angler Steve Mears showed his dedication with this late-day Cubera Snapper.
Our inshore reef is always ready to deliver a day-saver like this monster. Great perseverance by Mr. Mears and Captain Fico.
Steve Mears pulled off one of the great feats in offshore fishing on December 30 with the Explorer…the Billfish Grand Slam!
Captain Fico and Mate Elias deserve tons of credit in the hunting of these monsters, and of course the safe live releases.
Great work by FishingNosara Hall of Famer Steve Mears!
On December 29, Captain Fico delivered the goods for angler Michael Baoley with lots of billfish action backed up by some excellent meat fish.
This small Marlin is likely a juvenile Striped Marlin, but may also be an elusive Hatchet Marlin.
After the Marlin release they nabbed several super Sailfish.
In addition several nice Dorados found their way to the filet bag. What an excellent day of action on the unstoppable Explorer.
Captain Fico welcomed the Charmain Leskosek group on December 28 and found the fish biting early and often.
This Hatchet Marlin was the first catch of the 5 hour trip which was quickly followed by a nice Dorado.
The Explorer capped off the morning trip with a big Sailfish release just before the bell.
Angler Thomas Burton scored a big Dorado with Captain Fico on December 26. Looks like fat filets will be on deck this week!
Captain Fico delivered the goods on December 18 with a swarm of tasty Dorados on ice for the unstoppable Explorer.
FishingNosara Hall of Famer Dan Johnson returned for another round of blue water action in mid-December. Check out this sweet Dorado score from the Explorer:
Our old friend Patrick McGoey came in on December 6 for a quick day of fishing on the Explorer.
The fish were lined up and hungry with stacked of Dorados finding their way to the fishbox.
The Explorer put in work on December 5 with clients Laura and Michael Price scoring some excellent filets for the dinner table.
The rods were bending all day. Here’s what Laura wrote on Facebook: “My husband and I went out today on the Explorer. We had an AMAZING time!!! We ended the day with 6 Mahi Mahi caught with 1 Mahi Mahi, 1 tuna and 1 marlin getting away. Phenomenal crew! We loved every minute of it!”
Captain Fico welcomed Jacksonville, FL angler Steve McLeod for a productive afternoon of fishing.
They combined to catch Yellowfin Tuna and Dorado.
