Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Alejandro Garcia is the newest member of our team at Nosara Paradise Rentals and FishingNosara and has already established himself as a super ambassador of the pura vida spirit. Turns out Alejandro is a bad-to-the-bone river fisherman as well.
It’s fair to say he had a great weekend of fishing. On Saturday he hooked up this nice Cuberra Snapper:
Then on Sunday he brought in this monster Snook:
Whoa! This monster tips the scale at just over 30lbs.
That’s what I call bringing home the bacon!
Javier has continued his onslaught on the Snook dwelling in the Nosara river mouth. Check out some of his highlights from this month:
Also the Fuppernos (Friend of the River) are staying on task by keeping the river clean and free of garbage; the return of the seasonal rains means that lots of junk is flowing down the mountain and only through the vigilance of the Fuppernos can this lovely resource thrive.
Thanks to Pipin, Marina, Manuel, Rosi, Joaquin and Juan Luis for their help this month.
Read more and get involved with the cause by visiting the Fuppernos Facebook page and do your part…if you are in town visiting for a few days why not give back to the Nosara community by pitching in on a river clean-up?
The action in the Costa Rican rivers moves as quickly as the freshwater pours from the mountains into the sea. The Fuppernos (Friends of the Nosara River) report lots of excellent catches this month, but let’s start with a catch from the nearby town of Samarra.
This 34lbs. Snook was caught on March 4 by Luis Cordero 3/4oz duster. Great fish and it was certainly the talk of the town this month.
However our boys at the Rio Nosara weren’t slacking this month. Check out their best catches:
Our main man Alejandro got his fresh ceviche squared away (above) while our old buddy Cumi had two nice fishing days this month.
Also saw some nice catches of various species from Jack to Permit to Ponpano:
Caught by Jairo Bermudez Jimenez
Matthew Cothrew and his family took to the Rio Nosara via kayak and explored from the highlands all the way down to the river mouth.
Also they were among the first to sample our newest licensed product. Check out these pics of FishingNosara bottled water, courtesy of our shameless plug department:
The action at the Nosara River mouth has been excellent this month with many catches of Permit, Corvina and Snook.
Senior Javier Hernandez (aka Rey Robalo) has led the way with innovative new tackle mixed with old-school perseverance and patience. Check out these monster Snook caught by the master surf angler this month:
Fantastic catches by Javier, but he isn’t the only one working the River Mouth:
Local fisherman Coco with a 4kg. Snook
Local Legend Luis Pando with a nice Corvina and Snook
Also the Fuppernos are doing great work keeping the river clean and healthy. Check them out on Facebook for all the up-to-date catches and news from the Rio Nosara:
Another tranquil day on the Nosara River! Mike Young and his group took to the pleasant water for a gentle half day of floating and sightseeing. They saw lots of birds and reptiles, plus came upon a nice group of SUP riders also cruising the river.
Our Kayak Tours are very popular for both anglers and nature lovers alike, plus they are a cost-effective way to spend a lovely afternoon. Looks like Mikey and his folks found the perfect way to relax between offshore fishing days.
The action at the Nosara River mouth has been intense this month with many reported catches of Permit, Corvina and Snook.

Senior Javier has been working over the river mouth this week and had some great catches to show for his effort. Most recently was this large Corvina that weighs every bit of 15 lbs. Ceviche, anyone?
Earlier in the week Javier knocked out an excellent Snook, approximately 29 inches and 12 lbs. Pictured here with son Dario, this Snook is typical of the beauties that make their home at the mouth of the Nosara River.
Pretty clear family resemblance, even down to the gold chain. Great work by the master of the river, Senior Javier Hernandez!
Excellent snook action today at the Nosara River Mouth. The early morning bite was plentiful as proved by our client Patrick who joined Senior Javier Hernandez for a morning fishing tour. Check out this respectable 10+lbs. Snook:
Also local hero Senior Gata hooked up this beauty of a Snook, estimated to weigh at least 25lbs.
Bob Hartin and his posse followed their fantastic day on the Wanderer with an equally thrilling day of kayaking on the Rio Nosara. A full floatilla of eight kayaks with ten total participants set off from the highlands and drifted about 3 miles to the mouth of the river.
At this junction our guides broke out the rods and started hunting for the crafty little mangrove snappers that live along the banks and the super snook that patrol the mouth. The group had some nibbles and some mysteries but no amazing fish this time.
All in all it was a great day of fresh air and beautiful nature on a fully loaded Kayak Safari Tour.
