Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Phillip Jones bought the heat with Captain Alex on the Harvester on July 13.
The big Pacific Sailfish were hungry and hard charging early in the day.
Mate Kevin did get to bill these monsters safely and quickly, ensuring all safe releases.
Looks like they caught nearly a dozen big billfish on this trip!
The last one of the day was arguable the highest-flyer…look at this dance this one put on for the crew:
Captain Alex got on a hot streak in mid-July with a wide array of sweet specimens. There was nice inshore action, especially on Rooster Fish:
It’s not just trophy releases; this is tasty whopper of a Cierro Mackeral:
Fantastic day by the mega panga Harvester with client Greg Henry reporting a wide variety of great catches. The early strikes were these nice-sized Yellowfun Tuna. and big Dorados:
Very strong fighters (see the broken rod) and great tasting filets!
Then they released two strong Pacific Sailfish:
They topped off the day with this beautiful Blue Marlin!
Great work by Captain Alex and the Harvester.
The boys from Wilde Wood Construction have been hot this whole week, and over on the Harvester this awesome 58lbs. Yellowfin Tuna was boated:
BIG Yellowfin Tunas have moved into the area and Captain Alex and the Mega Panga are ready for them! The next day Team Ashby returned to the Harvester and scored more sweet Sailfish releases!

Our good buddy Bob Hartin and his family took to the Mega Panga as a school of BIG Yellowfin Tuna swarmed our area, and the crafty Captain Alex was on the scene to mop them up!
Bob scored big fish with us way back in 2012, and it’s good to see his fishing prowess is still top-notch.
They added to the big monster Yellowfin from the morning with a armload of 30-40lbs. Yellas later in the afternoon.
Add to that a nice Sailfish and you got a perfect day of blue water action:
The Harvester welcomed Tuan Pham and his family for a fun day offshore that led to a beautiful Pacific Sailfish release.
Great work by Captain Alex and Mate Kevin on the Mega Panga!
Fun-loving Texans Mary and Scott Kelley joined the Harvester for a fun day offshore and left their mark with this this sweet Sailfish release:
Great job by these Lone Star anglers!
The Harvester delivered big Sailfish action on June 18 on a full day offshore adventure.
Mate Kevin performed brilliantly to safely bill and release these monsters unharmed.
Right at the end of the day, they wetted a line inshore an snagged this tasty Queen Snapper for the dinner table…nice way to end the day!
June 14, 2016 marks the first time in the seven year history of the FishingNosara team that Marlin releases were scored by every team boat.ย

Jacksonville anglers Al Bourgeoisie and Robert Thomason had a wildly productive day on June 13 with several Sailfish releases backed up with several big Yellowfin Tunas.
After the high-flying Sailfish show, they followed the spinning dolphin schools and snuck the Tunas out from under their beaks.
Great work by Captain Alex and the mega panga!
