Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

On March 3rd we welcomed back our new friend Hendrik Engel for another three rounds of billfish bouts.
This lovely Sailfish was a sign of good things to come as Mr. Engel really gathered up the release on the 5th.
Hendrik has only been fishing with us for about 6 months but he already has a reputation for lighting up the scoreboard every time he goes out.
Joe Rodriguez had a magnificent day on the Explorer as Captain David navigated the Super panga through a gauntlet of big fighting fish.
Nancy got in on the action too with a nice Sail release!
Here’s the email we got from Joe:
Hello Craig,
Cathy Riddle was back for more blue water action on February 20 and got off to a fast start with another Dorado on ice, plus a nice looking Wahoo.
Personally, I think the T-shirt is what lured him in.
The Sailfish bite was on in the early afternoon as they released this beast:
Great work by these Florida anglers!
Captain David delivered an identical catch report the next day for client Cathy Riddle, as another Sailfish and another Dorado found the hooks on February 17.
Clearly Captain David has his approach dialed-in and the Explorer is in mid-season form.
Our pal Francois Bernier took another crack at the blue water beasties and added this nice Sailfish release to his ledger:
He followed up with a 30lbs. Dorado to keep his icebox full of filets.
Excellent inshore action on the Explorer today! Check out these fine tastin’ White Tunas:
All in a day’s work for Captain David and the baddest Super Panga in the bay.
Harris Savin finished his fishing adventurer with Captain David on the Explorer, only a special guest was on hand in the mate position: Captain Carlos of the Adventurer.
Carlos started Harris out on this great week of fishing, so it is only fitting that he see Mr. Savin finish strong.
Another day, another five Sailfish!
With this beefy White Tuna thrown in for dinner, I’d say this is the perfect end to a perfect week for Harris Savin!
Harris Savin continued his tour around the fleet with a visit to Captain David’s Explorer. The good times kept rollin’ for this fun-loving client on the Super panga.
Harris was joined by Roger Smith and together they released five more Sailfish.
Look at these shots…Great work on the camera by Harris!
As usual they added a late-day Dorado for the dinner table.
Harris is on a tear this week and we expect more great catches from this angler.
Ryan Harrington and Mackenzie Ruhnke came to Costa Rica to tie the knot, but these honeymooners found out that tied to the end of their knot was this 400+ Marlin:
Captain David cut down the angles on the high-flying beast while Ryan put tighten the the screws on her.
Mate Kevin kept this monster under control, and saw to a picture-perfect Marlin release.
Later in the day they scored a few Sailfish releases to round out the trip.
Great times on the Explorer for the new bride and groom!
Bernard Patron saw some nice action on the Explorer with this hefty Sailfish release.
Nice work by Mate Kevin on the clean release.
