Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
It’s an honor to welcome our friends from the Ultimate Outdoors TV show for a week of fun fishing action. Things got off to a perfect start with this MASSIVE Marlin release:
The Discoverer also scored nice action on Dorados:
Country music singer/songwriter Justin Dukes is along for the ride, and he showed his skills on the reel with this nice Yellowfin Tuna.
Roger Bowgen continued his great success on December 7 with Captain Alex reporting a wonderful Striped Marlin release.
This was augmented by a nice Dorado catch. Great work by Team Bowgen!
Captain Carlos delivered the fish of a lifetime for Steve McLeod with this beautiful Striped Marlin release on December 4.
In addition the battleship also reeled in this nice Sailfish.
Wonderful day of fun billfish action on the Discoverer!
November 14 will be a day that John Schimkaitis, Heather Cozart and Jared Cozart never forget as they enshrined themselves in the FishingNosara Hall of Fame with a legendary BILLFISH GRAND SLAM!
First up was John nabbing a 100lbs. Sailfish, released early in the trip, completing the first leg of the Grand Slam.
Then a 100lbs. Striped Marlin came calling around noon; not the biggest specimen we’ve ever seen but Jared’s catch still counts as the second piece of the Grand Slam.
Finally it was Heather’s turn on the reel for a MASSIVE Blue Marlin estimated by Mate Kevin upon release to be well over 350lbs.
The action was so hot on the Discoverer that the scorecard shows more than just Billfish releases; a good array of Dorado and Yellowfin Tuna means that these North Carolina anglers will be able to replenish their strength at the dinner table.
Fantastic work by Captain Carlos and the unbeatable battleship Discoverer!
The Discoverer welcomed Stephanie Vinat’s group for a 6.5 hour trip on November 11 and they had an absolute blast on the big battleship.
This Marlin release is a great angling achievement, and these folks didn’t leave empty-handed thanks to a variety of nice Dorados and Yellowfin Tunas.
The Discoverer stayed hot on November 8th with angler Dale Greeson posting the first Marlin release of the year for the big battleship.
Great work by Captain Carlos to deliver this fish of a lifetime!
Our great friend Hubble Keller closed down the season a few months ago on the Harvester with a strong Marlin release, and wouldn’t you know that he got things started this year with another one?
Hubble and the boys were just getting started as they backed up the Striped Marlin with some nice Sailfish releases.
For the dinner table they hooked up three big Dorados and put them on ice.
Great start for Hubble Keller and the mega panga!
Casey Jones made a quick visit to Nosara on October 8 and found a world of success on the Harvester.
This nice Striped Marlin was the highlight of the trip which also included a pair of Sailfish releases.
Gary Killam knocked it out of the park on the Wanderer with a fantastic Blue Marlin release:
Earlier in the day they filled up the fishbox with Dorado and Yellowfin Tunas on the deck.
Great work by these Tampa based anglers!
The Harvester capped off her season with a very productive day with angler Antonio Martinez and his family.
The mega panga’s reputation continues to grow and Captain Alex and Mate Kevin put on a billfishing clinic for these great anglers.
Later in the day Michael Madnick scored this awesome Marlin release.
