Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
On November 14, the Harvester welcomed John Grumino and his group from New Jersey for a three day campaign.
They stayed busy all day long, with a multitude of solo Sailfish releases on the scorecard.
The trophy releases are memories that last a lifetime, but we also need to think about today’s needs: specifically, dinner for their end-of-week meal.
Dorados and Yellowfin Tunas will keep these boys fed. Excellent start to a wonderful week of fishing.
Rickie Crews and his posse were back in action on November 11 with the Discoverer reporting more great Sailfish releases.
A nice array of Yellowfin Tuna found their way to the icebox.
The big meat fish of the day with this excellent Dorado.
Yummy!
The Discoverer welcomed back Rickie Crews and his group for a fun fishing campaign.
A nice Sailfish release was backed up a big Dorado.
These guys last joined us in February 2020; gotta love that he was among the last to fish before the pandemic and the first to fish since we’ve re-opened.
The Discoverer is back in action. On November 2 we welcomed Tracy Anderson’s group for a productive day of offshore fishing.
We got a little bit of rain from an arm or Hurricane Eta, but the seas were accommodating enough to go fishing.
A nice Sailfish release was the highlight of the trip, which also featured some Yellowfin Tuna filets for these hungry anglers.
Mike Earnest kicked off our new fishing season with a big fun group from North Central Florida. They enlisted the Harvester and Discoverer for their fishing mission.
This hard-charging Sailfish was the catch of the day, and was released by the mega panga.
Throughout the day they scored multiple Yellowfin Tunas.
Over on the Wanderer, Captain William was itching to get back on the water after the long offseason.
The Master Captain got right down to business with a boat load of Yellowfin Tunas on ice. Here’s a sampling:
Craig finished his three-day campaign on the Harvester with a rod-bending day of action. Our chief mechanic Marino was on the real for this fun Dorado catch.
Later in the afternoon the mega panga hooked up a supercharged Sailfish.
This monster put on a show, but Mate Wilson got the leader and pulled him alongside. The Sailfish spit the hook and escaped safely with the last laugh.
The first day of the season filled the refrigerator with Yellowfin Tuna filets, so on the second day Craig and Javier went hunting for trophy fish.
Javier belted up for the first Sailfish of the day. This crazy beauty was darting back in forth above the water.
After a nice battle she was safely released as always.
Craig was next into the breach and waged an epic battle with a big Blue Marlin.
Dario Hernandez joined his father for this trip and snagged a few sandwich-sized Dorado filets.
This trip was also a training run for Mate Antonio, who most of our clients know as our panga boat driver; he will be assuming the mate’s role on the Explorer this year, and will be training with Captain Alex on the Harvester to continue improving his skills.
Richard Fertig and his girlfriend had with big day with Captain Alex and Mate Wilson on the Harvester.
The strikes started early and persisted throughout the day.
They ended up with 10 Sailfish releases and a big Dorado.
Excellent work by the mega panga.
Ken and Brenda Russell’s group continued to blister the billfish on March 19 with Captain William reporting multiple excellent releases.
These Texas anglers are multiple-time FishingNosara Hall of Famers for a reason…these big Pacific Sailfish didn’t stand a chance.
All safely released by Mate Elias as always. Great work by the mighty flagship Wanderer.
Captain David’s run of Sailfish releases continued on March 18 with this awesome score.
