Mike Murphy of Jon Matula’s posse kept up the great fishing with a fun day of action on August 15 with the Discoverer. This highlight was this awesome Marlin release.
They also added to the world-class billfish release with these tasty Dorados:
Mike sent us this nice note: “Great fishing and great place to stay. All of my group enjoyed it.”
Our old friend Jon Matula has returned to Nosara and is rolling about 14 deep. His group spread out across several boats on the 13th, and the group on the Discoverer posted some great Yellowfin Tuna catches.
These were backed up by a nice Dorado and a sweet Blue Marlin release.
Craig Sutton finished off a good week of fishing by taking advantage of the best bite of the year.
His five-hours on the Discoverer was highlighted by this nice Marlin release backed up with a sweet Sailfish.
We had an epic day with Alex on the Harvester this morning,” wrote Ryan Doersam on August 3.
“A Sailfish double header less than 30 minutes after dropping the lines followed by a 200+lb Marlin about 10 minutes after we released the Sailfish.”
Great job by Captain Alex and the mega panga Harvester.
The Discoverer started August right with angler Mike Triglia reporting this amazing Blue Marlin release:
These guys also brought home filets thanks to these nice Dorados.
Great work by the big battleship Discoverer!
Captain Fico took angler Jeff Tomcsik offshore on July 30 and found the Sailfish laying in wait.
This aggressive high-flyer provided great fishing memories, while these Yellowfin Tuna weighed down the dinner table.
The next day they scored a true fish of a lifetime with this excellent Blue Marlin release.
They finished the day inshore and scored another awesome trophy fish releases with this Rooster Fish.
When we say that the fish are fired-up in late July, this is what we mean:
Alan Brewer and his group were the beneficiaries of these fired up billfish, the leader of which was this beautiful Blue Marlin.
After that amazing catch, Team Brewer belted up for an awesome Double Sailfish battle.
Great work by Captain Alex and Mate Kevin to keep these two monsters from getting tangled and ensuring a safe release for both fish.
Texas angler Carlyle Smith had a fantastic day of blue water action on July 23.
This Sailfish release was a precursor to this excellent Marlin release:
The billfish kept coming as this fun group had multiple strikes throughout the day.
Excellent work by Master Captain William and the mighty flagship Wanderer!
For those still clinging to the old notion that the fishing in Costa Rica is not white-hot in July, please check out this July 22 trip from the Harvester with angler Carlyle Smith.
This monster Marlin was just the tip of the iceberg.
A big time Sailfish wasn’t far behind, and the mega panga was there to pull her in.
Another great Sailfish also found its way to the Harvester.
Normally a big day full of billfish releases would be all that you need, but why not add some big Dorado filets for the fishbox?
Oh and in case you are wondering, all of these catch came on just a 6.5 hour trip…imaging if they had gone for a full eight hours!
The white-hot billfish bite continued on July 19 with Captain Alex reporting a mammoth day for angler Steve Balz and his boys. This monster Blue Marlin was the highlight of the trip:
The Marlin was backed-up by this great Sailfish release:
Of course the boys didn’t go home empty-handed, as a squad of tasty Dorados found their way to the fishbox.
Awesome work by the mega panga Harvester.
