Nigel Phillips | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

January 1, 2023

Nigel Phillips kicked off the new year with the Wanderer, and the mighty flagship scored a Dorado, a Yellowfin Tuna, and a Mule Snapper.

The Wanderer closed out the season with Nigel Phillip’s fourth trip of the week. They started out with a tasty Dorado on ice.

Then they belted up for a fantastic Sailfish battle.

After the safe release, they scored the best fish of the week with this awesome Blue Marlin release.

The Wanderer tracked down a nice catch of Yellowfin Tuna on August 25 with our good friend Nigel Phillips.

Amazing FREE GAFF Shot from the Wanderer! One Dorado was hooked up, but his big friend got to close for his own good.

Both fish on ice! Amazing gaff dexterity by Mate Elias and great work by anglers Nigel Phillips and Gary Bernhard.

PS This is dangerous…Pros only. Don’t attempt!

Captain David continued his white-hot billfish action on February 7. Check out this awesome release from Nigel and Gary.

Amazing Marlin releases for the sneaky switchblade Adventurer.

The Wanderer scored big on February 6 with an awesome Sailfish release.

Nigel and Gary also nabbed a gigantic Dorado for the filet bag.

Nigel Phillips and Gary Bernhard performed brilliantly on February 5 with the mighty flagship reporting a Blue Marlin release and Sailfish release.

They also added several late-day Dorados for the dinner table.

Nigel went to great effort to travel many miles with this silhouette fishing dredge, and it looks like it was worth the effort.
