Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Team Dziadul stayed on the Harvester on November 20, and Captain Alex took them to Sailfish Alley for a nice six-pack of billfish battles.
Good to see that everyone was fresh after their epic Yellowfin Tuna from the day before.
Captain Alex came out of the gate on a hot streak and shows no sign of letting up.
Great work on the safe release of this sextet of Sailfish.
The Harvester scored a MONSTER 180lbs. Yellowfin Tuna with Steven Dziadul and his crew Joe and Cody.
This is the first Big Yellowfin Tuna of the season, but you know it won’t be the last.
They also scored a trio of Sailfish releases throughout the day.
Amazing job by Captain Alex, Mate Wilson, and the mega panga Harvester!
Team Grumino finished off their week of fishing with and inshore Rooster hunt on the Harvester.
This beautiful Rooster Fish was live released after the photo.
Great work by these Northeast anglers on this trophy release.
On November 15 John Grumino hit paydirt on the Harvester.
They got right into the thick of the action with this nice Blue Marlin release and a Striped Marlin release.
Amazing action for these Garden State anglers.
On November 14, the Harvester welcomed John Grumino and his group from New Jersey for a three day campaign.
They stayed busy all day long, with a multitude of solo Sailfish releases on the scorecard.
The trophy releases are memories that last a lifetime, but we also need to think about today’s needs: specifically, dinner for their end-of-week meal.
Dorados and Yellowfin Tunas will keep these boys fed. Excellent start to a wonderful week of fishing.
Mike Earnest kicked off our new fishing season with a big fun group from North Central Florida. They enlisted the Harvester and Discoverer for their fishing mission.
This hard-charging Sailfish was the catch of the day, and was released by the mega panga.
Throughout the day they scored multiple Yellowfin Tunas.
Over on the Wanderer, Captain William was itching to get back on the water after the long offseason.
The Master Captain got right down to business with a boat load of Yellowfin Tunas on ice. Here’s a sampling:
Craig finished his three-day campaign on the Harvester with a rod-bending day of action. Our chief mechanic Marino was on the real for this fun Dorado catch.
Later in the afternoon the mega panga hooked up a supercharged Sailfish.
This monster put on a show, but Mate Wilson got the leader and pulled him alongside. The Sailfish spit the hook and escaped safely with the last laugh.
The first day of the season filled the refrigerator with Yellowfin Tuna filets, so on the second day Craig and Javier went hunting for trophy fish.
Javier belted up for the first Sailfish of the day. This crazy beauty was darting back in forth above the water.
After a nice battle she was safely released as always.
Craig was next into the breach and waged an epic battle with a big Blue Marlin.
Dario Hernandez joined his father for this trip and snagged a few sandwich-sized Dorado filets.
This trip was also a training run for Mate Antonio, who most of our clients know as our panga boat driver; he will be assuming the mate’s role on the Explorer this year, and will be training with Captain Alex on the Harvester to continue improving his skills.
After seven lonely months, the 32-foot Harvester is back on the water. It’s been a long road back and we are stoked to get back to action.
Craig Sutton and Antonio were the first anglers up, and they scored multiple Yellowfin Tunas.
They worked over a school of porpoises with live blue runners on the hook, and scored Yella Fellas weighing 54lbs, 35lbs., 30lbs., and 25lbs.
Great work by the team to bring home the bacon!
On August 2, Captain Alex rounded up some of the co-workers from the Casa Bianca jobsite and took them to the offshore meat market.
The Harvester performed beautifully, delivering more than a dozen of these much-needed filets to the Nosara community. Check out Grevan with these awesome Yella fellas:
The worlds a little crazy on land, but 0n the Harvester it’s a nice normal day on the water.
