Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
It’s been a fun two months of fishing like unemployed teenagers, but now we finally have wrapped up The Harvester Project and shipped the boat to Costa Rica.
We cleared customs and are driving her across the country on January 15.
The Harvester scored huge in her first day on the water. 7 sailfish released by Captain Alex and Mate Kevin with client Rob Hodde of Texas.
Fantastic work by Costa Rica’s newest fish-fighting weapon!
Amazing day of Sailfish action for the Wanderer on January 17!
The flagship set course for Sailfish City and every angler on board got a crack at a sweet Sailfish:
You think she’s excited to have a hard-charging billfish on the line?
The bite held strong throughout the day. Great day of action delivered by Captain William!
Chris Weatherly and his group scored a nice pair of Sailfish releases with Captain William on a morning half day trip.
Mate Johnson is coming into his own as a fisherman and fish-handler, and both Sails were safely releases.
Excellent work by the big blue beauty!
The Explorer kept up the solid month of pelagic action with this sweet Sailfish release:
Nice work on the live release to ensure the safety of fish and angler alike.
Our great friend Doc Hatton performed wonderfully on back to back fishing days in mid-January.
The first day they were offshore and released several nice Sailfish.
The next day they stayed inshore and scored one of the biggest Cubera Snappers of the year.
With nothing left to prove inshore, Captain William headed offshore following a pod of feeding Dolphins. Not surprisingly, they found more sweet Sailfish.
Ben Evans and Joe Driscoll returned to the Wanderer on the 12th with another great fantastic fishing performance.
They stayed inshore this time and loaded the fish box with gigantic Amberjacks.
Beware of these masked bandits!
They also hooked up a small Shark, released without incident.
On their final day of fishing, they returned to Sailfish City and ended their week with this nice Sailfish release.
The Discoverer welcomed Stephen Ruppert and he scored two big Sailfish backed up by a big-time Wahoo.
These trophy releases were great, but the white-meat steaks of a Wahoo are the real treat for these anglers.
Great work by Captain Fico!
FishingNosara Hall of Famers Kenny Strickler and Morgan Trible returned to Nosara for a New Year’s celebration of fun times and big fish.
This Double Sailfish release may be the coolest picture of the year so far:

There was lots of Sailfish action throughout the week:
Plus they scored an inshore gem…this is one fine Rooster Fish:
The Explorer had a big day on January 3rd with two Sailfish and two Rooster Fish released with client Robert Mears.
All in a day’s work for the barroom bralwer.

Returning anglers Joseph Driscoll and Ben Evans started their week with a bang on January 9 with a bevy of big billfish releases on the Wanderer.
The Sailfish were extra fired-up, but Master Captain William was one step ahead of them with his virtuoso boat handling skills.
The action didn’t stop until the sun went down, which was just fine by these hardcore anglers.
