Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Captain Alex and the Harvester barreled into late-August with a fishing fury unmatched by any other panga boat in the world.
Multiple Yellowfin Tunas and a big Dorado were brought on board early in the trip, followed up by several sweet Sailfish releases.
Craig Sutton and Javier went fishing on the 11th with Captain Fico, along with a special guest: Javier’s seven-year old son Dario.
Fans of this fishing report already know that Dario is a master of river mouth fishing, however this Sailfish represents his first billfish release.
Great work by young Dario!
Captian Fico aka ‘El Brujo’ continued his sorcery on the 8th with a pair of memorable trophy releases with Richard Sim and his son.
These UK-based anglers started off this this awesome Rooster Fish, and then followed up with a sweet Sailfish release.
Great witchcraft by the Explorer.
Jon Poploskie joined Captain Fico for a 5 hour half day on August 7 and beefed up the fridgerator with this nice Yellowfin Tunas.
Also his youngster scored a little sandwich-sized Dorado for good measure.
Excellent work by the Explorer!
Kurt Hoffman and the kids returned on the 7th and scored a gaggle of nice Sailfish releases.
Great performances on these trophy releases combined with the pile of filets they nabbed earlier in the week.
Kurt Hoffman and his kids Marley and Tucker made lifetime memories on the August 4 with several great scores on the mighty Wanderer.
Anglers young and old bent rods on this trip and ended up with a full box of filets.
Awesome work by Captain William and Mate Jhonny on this fantastic day.
Captain Alex took Daniel Stapinski and his group out for a 5 hour half day, but the shortened day didn’t dampen the Harvester‘s ‘Never Surrender’ spirit.
A true Double Sailfish hook-up was the highlight of the trip.
Great work by Captain Alex to deftly handle the double capture, and then hand them off to Mate Wilson in order to take the photo.
Seeing double?
Also a great solo Sailfish release was executed during the trip.
Amazing fishing in short order by the mega panga Harvester!
Our old friend Elizabeth Popp brought her boys along for a fun day of inshore action with Captain David.
The Adventurer delivered the good with this excellent Cubera Snapper backed up by a nice Dorado.
Looks like these growing boys will have plenty to eat this week!
On the 19th, the Explorer welcomed Rob Youngman and his family for a quick five-hour trip to the blue water, and the 28-foot fighter knocked out several sweet Sailfish releases.
Even on a short day the Explorer delivers the goods!
The white-hot billfish bite continued on July 19 with Captain Alex reporting a mammoth day for angler Steve Balz and his boys. This monster Blue Marlin was the highlight of the trip:
The Marlin was backed-up by this great Sailfish release:
Of course the boys didn’t go home empty-handed, as a squad of tasty Dorados found their way to the fishbox.
Awesome work by the mega panga Harvester.
