Jason Frelich’s group started their week with a BIG Dorado, then scored a swarm of Sailfish releases, and on their final trip scored the biggest Yellowfin Tuna of the season so far.
We can’t undestate how unusual it is to find big Yellowfins this time of year. What a blessing!
Earlier in the trip they scored this wonderful Rooster Fish release inshore.
Amazing job my Mate Wilson, Captain Alex, and the unbeatable Harvester.
Hey Craig,
I was part of the Frelich group that hauled in the 200 lb+ Yellowfin Tuna, which I must say I’m still enjoying. This was our 2nd vacation with Fishing Nosara and you and your team did not disappoint. I just wanted to relay a few things about our stay that really stood out.
This was our first time staying on the Fishing Nosara property, which is beautifully maintained tropical paradise “Paradise Rentals” is a good name, having the cart at our disposal made getting around a breeze. The pool and breakfast area really beautiful, tropical and needed after a long day of reeling in fish.
From the shuttles to and from the airport, to fishing, to anything we wanted was terrific and super punctual with no worries.
We went horse back riding one day, and the tour was fabulous. We had a lunch with the locals and it was delicious.
The fishing. We fished with Alex and Wilson, on the Fishing Nosara Super Panga all 3 days. I must say that Alex has super fish finding radar like a superhero. He is fishing excellence and partnering with Wilson make them a great 1-2 punch. On our 3 days fishing we caught 10 of 11 Sailfish, 28 lb Dorado, a 48 lb Rooster Fish (my prize catch) and fought the mighty 200 lb + Yellowfin for nearly 4 hrs. it made our several other tuna we caught in the 25lb range look like bait. Kudo’s go’s to our mighty fisherwoman “T” who fought the beast for over 2 hrs making the last 2 hrs an easy catch for Robbie her first mate.
Our over all experience with your accommodations, personnel and fishing was 5 star. Thank you again and hope to return soon.

Thank you,

On March 4, we welcomed Jason Frelich’s group for the first day of a three-day offshore campaign. The highlight of the trip was this monster Dorado
Throughout the day, the Harvester was beset by hard-charging Sailfish. Several multiple hookups with safe releases all around.
Some small Yellowfin Tunas rounded out the haul; what a great start to the week for Team Frelich.

Captain Alex and Brad Watson’s boys got into it with a bunch a bad blue water beasties on the 27th. Big Dorados were iced throughout the day.
Once again we have proof that the more FishingNosara swag you wear on the boat, the more the fish cooporate.
Meanwhile, the Harvester was on the the hunt for some of the swarm of Sailfish swimming near our shores.

Captain Alex has the mega panga Harvester firing on all cylinders, and on the 25th welcomed Doug and Dan Rubino to the party.
Once again Sailfish was the primary catch of the day with seven releases on the scorecard.
FishingNosara’s Northeast Rep Mark Cooney was on board to share in the fun.
Excellent work by Mate Wilson to safely handle and release all of these wonderful creatures.

On the 22nd, angler Chris Graves and his posse elected for the afternoon 5 hour session with Captain Alex on the Harvester.
Despite the short trip, the Sailfish were ready for the fight and came into the spread one after the other.
Not a bad way to spend the afternoon, right?

Captain Alex and the Harvester welcomed angler Brad Watson’s posse for a fun trip offshore on the 19th.
The mega panga rolled into Sailfish City and found the big billfish bristling for battle.
Great work by Mate Wilson to safely handle and release all of these monsters.

Phil Egan’s hot streak continued on February 18. Here is the email he sent us after the trip:
Hey there Craig –
Had another killer day on the 5 hr trip on the Harvester yesterday. 3-4 miles out we had our first sail hooked up – the guys were still setting up and only had the shotgun line in the water.
Went on to go 5 for 7 on sails and 1 for 2 on dorado (24 lbs). That boat is a bad ass fishing machine!
Thanks for 3 great days of fishing. The boats and crews are all top notch. The guys all fish hard and with enthusiasm.
I can’t help but think they’ve all probably caught thousands of sails in their lifetimes, but treat each hookup with the excitement of it being their first.
Until next year!
Phil Egan
