Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Josh and Montana Crump are a great pair of fun-loving Tallahassee, FL based anglers, and they brought their sportive attitudes to the Explorer on June 5.
They scored big on the bottom with big Red Groupers.
The Crumps got married a year ago, and this trip to Nosara is their delayed honeymoon. Great work by this young couple.
Wesley Berry’s group put in big work on a short trip with Captain Fico reporting good action on a morning 5 hour trip.
After the Sailfish release, they belted up for a nice fight against a big Yellowfin Tuna.
Great work by the barroom brawler Explorer.
The flagship Wanderer was stoked to welcome Texas anglers Jeff Kirk, Brad Taylor, Tyson Muenich, and Ashley Watson for a big day on April 14.
Excellent Sailfish release dominated the early part of the trip, which also featured this nice Dorado for the icebox:
They nagged a final Sailfish release later in the day. Excellent work by the mighty flagship Wanderer!
Alex Stark took his party to the Harvester on February 5th, and this group nagged a sweet Sailfish release and a bunch of Dorados.
Too bad this was just a 5 hour trip…the fish were chewing the bottom out of the boat and the mega panga had to leave the bite in order to make it back to shore on time.
The Explorer had a banner day on February 3 with angler Brendan Champagne and his group nagging a wide variety of species.
This rocking Rooster Fish release headlined a day that also included a super Sailfish release:
Then the barroom brawler headed to the meat market. The first filets in the basket were these Dorado:
Then it was Yellowfin Tuna time!
Adding to the filet diversity was this awesome Cubera Snapper:
Excluding Marlin, this trip featured pretty much every major species in our fishery…all in a days work for Captain Fico, Mate Elias, and the multi-faceted Explorer
Ben Stein and his group posted an incredible day with the Explorer on January 22.
Captain Fico reports a big haul of Dorados. Everyone in the group got multiple chances to fight these mega-Mahis
Eric Olsen and his fun-loving group has a big day of results on December 29.
After a nice Dorado got the action rolling, these big Sailfish put the flagship to the test.
In the afternoon, Captain William stalked a school of porpoise and stole a nice Yellowfin Tuna from right under the pod.
Captain Carlos kept the good time rolling for Sarah Deter’s group, with big Dorados and big smiles reported on December 11.
The offshore action has remained steady this month and we are hoping for more of the same this December and January.
Captain Alex is always ready to embrace a new fishing challenge, so when fly-fishing enthusiast Mike Williams chartered on December 8 the Harvester was ready for the challenge.
Captain Alex retracted the outrigger and Mate Kevin worked a teaser bait until Mike offered the fly to this big Dorado:
After this excellent catch, Team Williams turned to the conventional tackle and loaded up on a multitude of big Dorados.
That’s three nice smiles right there!
Great work by the crew of the mega panga!
Jacksonville, FL anglers Ben Dode and Katy Schneider celebrated their honeymoon by fishing in Costa Rica, and the Discoverer is proud to report several floor-sweeping Dorados came to the party.
The big battleship stayed on the fish all day long and ended up with quite a haul with nine Dorados on the scorecard.
Great work by Captain Carlos and the Discoverer!
