Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
The Explorer closed out the month on a strong run of Sailfish releases.
The more trips that Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin run, the more they mark-up the scorecard with Sailfish releases.
Clearly these guys are sharpening their skills to a razor’s edge.
There was also lots of other species to brag about on the Super Panga. Check out these beastly Rooster fish releases:
Captain Carlos also reports a good array of Dorado and Amberjack.
The Explorer has been torching it the last few weeks, highlighted with tons of Sailfish released.
Captain Carlos has his thumb on the map where Sailfish City lies, but trust me he knows the way very well.
Mate Kevin is really starting to distinguish himself has an excellent fisherman and fish-handler.
All these beasts were safe releases as always.
It’s not all just trophy fish on the Explorer…check out some of these filets for the frigerator:
Recently the barroom brawler pulled up a stool to the legendary reef at Pincha Padre and knocked out all comers.
This beautiful Rooster fish release is certainly the highlight of the haul.
Later in the day they scored a nice-sized Cubera Snapper for the dinner table. Excellent tasting filets on the way!
The Explorer headed offshore on February 19 and encountered a swarm of starving Sailfish.
Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin worked together to flawlessly catch and release a half-dozen of these marvelous monsters.
Proof again that you don’t need a big boat to catch big fish in Costa Rica!
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!
Let’s take a look at a perfect day in Nosara, care of Linda Moody and her group:
1.) Early rise with a healthy breakfast.
2.) Enjoy the sunrise.
3.) Take in the scenery
4.) Make new friends
5.) Make more new friends.
All in a day’s work for the unstoppable Explorer!
The Explorer welcomed Ohio anglers Kevin and Mary Ann Dineen for a landmark day of fish harvesting.
This foursome of fishermen got down to business quickly, with each party member scoring a Dorado early in the trip.
Then the monster Dorado came calling!
After this wad of Mahi-Mahi’s on ice, it’s easy to think that the Explorer would call it a day…but that ain’t how the barroom brawler gets down!
The final fish of the day was a MASSIVE Wahoo:
I think we need a bigger cooler…Amazing that this monster’s tail is almost still in the water!
Easily the biggest Wahoo of the year, this monster might weigh north of 70lbs.
Sheesh, the picture weighs 5 pounds!
Great work by the unstoppable Explorer!
The Explorer delivered the goods for client Colin Pisano with a whole refrigerator full of fresh filets.
They snagged four Dorados (20lbs.-25lbs.) plus scored a quartet of White Tunas.
Dinner’s on!
Captain Carlos and his brother Mate Kevin are using the Explorer to make a statement to the rest of the fishing community: You don’t need a big boat to catch big fish!
Check out this pair of awesome Sailfish releases:
Great safe releases by Mate Kevin underscored the professional excellence of this fraternal fishing team. Great work by the Explorer!
Captain Carlos has continued to score big for his clients in 2015. He started the year off with this fantastic Double Sailfish Release:
Naturally, both fish were released but you can’t say the same for these beefy Dorados that have been filling our clients’ fishboxes:
Big Dorado have been a constant with several reports of full fishboxes of fresh filets.
Also, it is nice to White Tuna showing up on the scorecard again; these fellas have been a little scarce since the Dorado came close to shore. These 10-15lbs. White Tunas are the perfect size for tasty filets and sushi.
Of course the barroom brawler also picked a fight with some stunning Sailfish recently; check out the fight on this monster.
A safe release by Mate Kevin is the perfect send-off to this excellent fishing triumph.
