Javier | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

September 22, 2018

Most of the boats are on the hill for their annual refit and repaint to prepare for the new season. But Javier and Grevan felt the fishing itch, so they took the Transporter out to the reef and scored a boatload of Yellowfin Tunas in just under two hours.

That’s right, the Transporter…our 14-foot ferry boat that our clients know well from the trip from Playa Garza out to the boats.

Well, um….two things here: 1.) This is the boat record for the Transporter, and 2.) You know how we always say you don’t need a big boat to catch big fish in Nosara? This is what we are talking about.

Craig Sutton and Javier went fishing on the 11th with Captain Fico, along with a special guest: Javier’s seven-year old son Dario.

Fans of this fishing report already know that Dario is a master of river mouth fishing, however this Sailfish represents his first billfish release.

Great work by young Dario!

Erick Burke had a fun day of catching at the Nosara River mouth on July 12.

“Killer trip last week,” wrote Erick. “Special thanks to Javier for showing me the ropes and mixing me in with the locals!”

Here is local angler Chimpy with his catch:

Javier Hernandez aka Rey Robalo continued his reign with these awesome Snook scores on July 23.

His catches were more than a handful, with this Jack Crevelle (above) backed up with several monster Snooks.

How about this mammoth:

Also local angler Casar Vargas pulled this monster Amberjack from the river mouth in mid-June.

Javier scored again with more great action at the Nosara River Mouth. This Snook and Jack score means filets and ceviche, respectively.

El Jefe Javier Hernandez scored an amazing 15.5kg (35.1 lbs.) Snook at the Nosara River Mouth on the 16th.

Rey Robalo is a conservationist and as such chose to release this monster alive.

The staff of Nosara Paradise Rentals got out on the water on August 28 to celebrate the end of another great fishing season.

They scored a good variety of fish, exemplified by the Yellowfin Tunas. El Jefe also nabbed this nice Snapper later in the day.

Great work by the best staff in Costa Rica.

Captain Alex welcomed Javier out for an afternoon of ‘company research’ on May 27, and the mega panga loaded up on the suddenly-plentiful Yellowfin Tunas.

All of these Yella Fellas is a great sign moving forward as we enter our second season.

Master of the river mouth, Javier ‘Rey Robalo’ Hernandez scored this incredible Snook in mid-May.

What a fantastic catch!

Dan Johnson having fun again with his friends! The local legend was back in action on the 18th with Captain William on the Wanderer reporting four Sailfish releases backed up by a big Dorado.

Javier came along on this offshore hunt; the highlight was these challenging Double Sailfish hookups and releases.

The Dorado came late in the day and will definitely look good on the dinner plate.

Fantastic work by the mighty flagship Wanderer!
