Sailfish | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

November 15, 2015

Jon Branson is the latest in a long line of Texas anglers who’ve scored big on the flagship Wanderer.

Captain William is stoked to be back on the water and he picked up right where he left off last season with this nice Sailfish release.

Later in the day they found a large pod of feeding porpoises and the Wanderer deftly pulled a beefy Yellowfin Tuna from under Flipper’s nose:

Great work by the flagship during her glorious return to the water.

Craig,

Just wanted to let you know that we returned from our trip yesterday and had a great time.

The staff were outstanding both on the boats and in the office. We truly enjoyed our stay and look to return at some point in the future. Possibly the fishing tournament in April.

Please let everyone one know that we really appreciated their hospitality.

Jon R. Branson

The consistent off-season action continues as the Explorer reports more Sailfish and Dorado scores with client Randy Trent.

The Explorer struck again on October 20 with client Randy Trent.

Two Sailfish releases and two Dorado on ice…that’s a heckuva nice trip!

Two days after her glorius return to the blue water, the Explorer nabbed another three Sailfish releases with Roy and his family, including a triple hook-up that turned into a Double release.

Clearly the fish are here, but only the legendary Super panga is on the water!

The off-season warrior known as the Explorer is still on the water and Captain Carlos is satisfying his clients.

Roy Amodt and his family scored a trio of Sailfish, all safely handled and released by Mate Kevin.

Excellent work by the super panga!

Our good friends George and Laura Kommick spend a wonderful three days on the Explorer in mid-September. George released this nice Sailfish:

…but the unquestioned highlight was this MASSIVE deck-sweeping Wahoo reeled in by Laura:

That’s one heck of ‘Hoo!

Multi-time FishingNosara Hall of Famer Bill Harris brought another posse of Tampa-area anglers for a week of blistering blue water action.

They booked the Wanderer and Discoverer for three days in early September.

We are still awaiting full reports, but for now lets check out the highlights, primarlily this sweet Black Marlin release on the Wanderer:

Bill Harris himself added a nice Sailfish release early on the first day, which was certainly a sign of things to come:

Over on the Discoverer Eli Bedran KO’d a nice Sailfish:

There were lots of bending rods and crushed beer cans all week long. Great work by this fun-loving group!

The Explorer finished of the month with a hot streak of great catches. This Marlin scored by Tyler Hawes is clearly the leader of the pack:

Then the barroom brawler started racking up Sailfish releases by the bunches.

It’s wasn’t just trophy releases being scored by the Super panga; Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin also filled up the icebox with Dorado and Yellowfin Tuna:

Also, local diver Gustavo Villalobos Jiménez took a quick ride out of the bay and dove down for a pair of tasty Langostas (lobsters):

Fantastic action from the baddest 26-foot boat in the country!

The Discoverer has built a reputation as a billfish battleship, and on September 2 they scored a pair of Sailfish releases.

The blue water has retreated a little farther out from shore, expanding the area where the behemoths can hide…but there is no escaping Captain David and his view from the top of the Discoverer‘s tower.
