Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Captain Fico and the Explorer welcomed Jacksonville angler Steve Grant and his son for a sweet day of action on May 26.
Way back in 2009, Steve was instrumental in outfitting FishingNosara’s first boats with world class tackle. It’s great to see our old friend putting in big work on the Nosara blue water.
This Cubera Snapper was a very memorable catch for Mr. Grant, and was supplemented with this nice Dorado.
This excellent Rooster fish was also released by the unstoppable Explorer.
The Explorer stayed inshore with Lou Corsaro on May 10 and they pulled off a great double-whammy. First up was an excellent Rooster Fish release:
After the trophy fish release, it was time to tend to the dinner table. This MASSIVE Cubera Snapper fits the bill perfectly.
The Explorer welcomed angler Brian Reaver on May 6 and he scored this behemoth Rooster Fish release.
The Wanderer continued her hot fishing in mid-April with Jeff Kirk, Tyson Muenich, and Brad Taylor scoring big on multiple species.
A trio of Sailfish releases marked up the scorecard early in the 8-hour trip, and was also augmented by this nice-sized Yellowfin Tuna:
The final hurrah was this sweet Rooster fish release, scored late in the day much closer to shore than the earlier catches.
Fantastic work by Captain William and the mighty flagship Wanderer!
Ken Russell and Larry Komenda left the women and children at home on the 26th and enlisted Captain David to knock off a bucket-list item…Check out this awesome Rooster Fish release:
Captain Fico kept scored throughout the month of March…check out this great array of catches from the 15th. They started with a nice Rooster Fish release by Kyle Sever.
Then they nabbed the elusive Blue Jack Crevalle, a rarity for this area and the source of amazing ceviche.
Team Sever then headed offshore and scored this excellent Sailfish release.
Our great friend Mark Cooney was on board and our Northeast Representative added to his legend with this another Sailfish release.
John and Alice Hagaman joined the Brent Cockerham group for a blistering day of action on the Harvester, highlighted by a swarm of Rooster Fish releases.
While they were offshore they nabbed several nice Dorados for the dinner table.
The cherry on top of this sundae was this beautiful Rooster Fish release.
Great work by Captain Alex!
We are so close to the blue water that sometimes real magic can happen. Consider this report from March 9:
Rick Noonan headed offshore about 10 miles to the deep blue water, and immediately started scoring billfish.
Several nice Sailfish releases were backed up by a feisty Striped Marlin release.
Rather than stay offshore to pursue another Marlin (thus securing the ultra-rare Billfish Grand Slam), Captain Fico headed inshore and scored another trophy: This excellent Rooster fish.
The Explorer continues to amaze!
The versatile flagship Wanderer stayed inshore on the 9th, with Brent Etlinger and his group notching the scorecard with an excellent Rooster fish releases.
Captain Fico stayed inshore with Greg Randecker on the 7th and posted a very productive day, highlighted by this nice Rooster fish release.
They also got some sweet treats to eat, thanks to these tasty Snappers:
