Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Captain Alex welcomed anglers Paul Arthur and Ricky Kay for a four-day fishing mission, and early on in their adventure they ran into some hungry world-class billfish.
This high-flying Blue Marlin was the highlight of their first day on May 12, which also featured three Sailfish releases.
Excellent hunting by Captain Alex and safe fish handling by Captain David (on loan from the Adventurer) means that these big boys will be around to be caught again in the future.
Great job by the Harvester!
On May 7 Captain Alex whipped up a Yellowfin Tuna feeding frenzy on the Harvester. Check out these excellent catches:
Our old pal TJ Conrads was on the scene to welcome these Yella Fellas.
When the offshore bite is a good as it’s been recently, only a fool would stay inshore and plunk around for little fish…the smart move is to listen to the advice of the long-tenured Captains of FishingNosara and head offshore.
Angler John Grover took heed of Captain Alex’ advice and found the big blue water beasties lurking about a dozen miles from shore.
Three anglers, three bites, three fish-of-a-lifetime (one slipped away after being de-hooked but before the picture). Not bad for just 5 hours work.
Great job by Captain Alex, Mate Wilson and the Harvester!
2018 All Star Calgary Flames goalkeeper Mike Smith traded his blocker pads for fishing reels on April 30 and brought his family to Nosara for some excellent blue water action on April 30.

The whole family got in on the action with many excellent catches.
After several big Dorado scores, Mike deployed the flyrod to nabbed another tasty Mahi.
Great work by this fun group of Canadian anglers
The Harvester kept up the pressure on the 29th with a haul that may put the fish market out of business. Look at this whopper of a Dorado:
This was backed up with some smaller but equally tasty Dorados for the kids.
Naturally the mega panga wasn’t leaving without scoring a nice Sailfish release for the scrapbook.
Great job!
John Jones of New York City joined Captain Alex on the 27th and jammed in as much good fishing as possible into their 5 hour trip.
Multiple Sailfish releases are quite memorable, but they didn’t leave empty handed, as a handful of Yellowfin Tunas provided the meat for the dinner table.
Excellent work by these Upper East Side anglers.
Craig Sutton bests two blue water beasties on April 22. Both safe released as always by Captain Alex.
Captain Alex delivered the good on a late-afternoon 2.5 hour trip with angler Tillman Saylor reporting a great Rooster Fish release.
That’s an amazing score in such a short time. Great work by the Harvester!
On April 19, Graeme Rockett kept up the streak of great inshore action on the Harvester with a sweet Cubera Snapper and followed in up with a nice Rooster Fish release.
With dinner filets in the icebox, the mega panga added to the trophy case with this excellent release:
Miriam Schroers’ family enjoyed all that our inshore fishery has to offer with an amazing performance on April 18.
After an excellent early-morning Cubera Snapper score, these anglers corned a medium-sized Wahoo who drifted a little too close to shore.
It’s unusual to catch a Wahoo this close to shore, but with Captain Alex it’s quite normal to score a nice Rooster Fish release.
Great work by Captain Alex and the Harvester!
