Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Melita Ganoe and her family won the 1st Annual FishingNosara Family Cup at the Jacksonville Kayak Tournament last May.
They arrived to the Wanderer with good eating fish on their minds and they came away with three great species: White Tuna, Red Grouper, and Congrio.
Awesome work by the Ganoe family and the mighty Wanderer.
Our old friend George Shipley returned to the blue waters of Garza hoping for a repeat of his excellent performance on the Explorer back in February 2011. With his young son in tow, Mr. Shipley opted for the more spacious Wanderer and once again he was face-to-face with a mighty pacific billfish.
This Pacific Sailfish weighs about 135lbs. and is a wonderful example of the beasts that lurk just a few miles off of our shores. Great work by the crew to ensure the safe release of this majestic beast.
Our great friend Jay Thompson brought his wife and kids down to Nosara for a little fishing and relaxation. Check out this excellent catch from a sunset cruise on the Explorer:
Another great family fishing trip on the Wanderer! This time the big Red Groupers were around and Captain William kept the big blue beauty right on top of this nice pot of fish.
Nice effort from this family in catching a whole cooler full of filets. Yummy!
The Wanderer is the ideal place to get your kids bit with the fishing bug. Captain William and First Mate Alex are great with kids and are excellent teachers of the craft of Costa Rican sportfishing.
Client Garrett and his family had an action packed 2.5 hour trip on the Wanderer and scored a nice White Tuna and a bunch of Blue Runners. Both young men got a chance to reel in some fish and a great time was enjoyed by all.
Hey, is that a signed Robert August hat? Cool lid kid!
No let up from the boys on the FishingNosara flagship Wanderer! Captain William and First Mate Alex bid farewell to Josh Luke after his incredible marlin release, then welcome Colin Conces and his family for a Sunset cruise.
The family had great success on the Red Grouper that have swarmed into the area the last few days, boating a nice stack of filets for the dinner table.
Mr. Conces also added this delicious White Tuna to the sushi plate. Another relaxing yet fruitful Sunset family fishing trip from the comfy Wanderer.
The Wanderer hosted Charles and his family for a fun-filled day on the water on February 9. They had some unique catches over the reef and took a few minutes out for an impromptu Snorkeling trip.
Charles broke the ice with this fine Red Grouper caught on a slow troll. Notice the spearfishing boat in the background; this is a crafty move by Captain William to utilize the commotion caused by the divers to coax these bottom dwellers up to the surface.
Mom followed up with a tasty White Tuna caught on a planer/spoon rig and was the first of two tasty White Tunas.
White Tuna are incredibly tasty to eat. Don’t take our word for it…ask this Red Grouper:
The Explorer notched another great sunset trip with client Sean and his young friends. In just three short hours they boated a handful of Yellowfin Tuna andย nice Jack Crevalle.
The inshore reefs around Garza are as familiar to Captain David as the back of his own hand and once again he put the Explorer directly on top of the fish. Great fishing performance from Sean, Captain David, and the unstoppable Explorer.
We were stoked to host a wedding fishing fiesta with Rob Anderson and his group from Dallas, TX. They split the party between the Wanderer and the Explorer. Both boats saw consistent action, but the Wanderer had the edge when it comes to good eatin’ keepers.
Captain William and the big blue beauty accounted for 10 Yellowfin tunas and five Jack Crevalles in the fishbox, while over on the Explorer Captain David’s group got a bunch of Bonita and a few feisty reef Snapper.
No matter how you score it, Mr. Anderson and his group certainly caught enough fish for the wedding party. Great work team!
Charles Barend and his family took a lovely 2.5 hour sunset cruise on the Explorer and had some nice results fishing with Captain David and Mate Carlos. They started with a Bonita on the planer/spoon to use for bait, and sure enough the better-tasting fish were hungry.
The filled the fishbox with three big Jack Crevalles and a tasty White tuna. Looks like the kids had a great time and this family fishing frenzy fed the fridge with fresh fish filets for all!
