Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
The Explorer started the month of June with a fantastic run of great catches. The Sailfish were thick offshore and the Super Panga was all over them.
Later in the week Captain Fico stayed inshore and filled the fish box with tasty filets of Dorado and Cubera Snapper.
While inshore, the legendary Explorer also scored several bucket-list caliber Rooster Fish releases.
Great work by the 26-foot barroom brawler!
Eric Dixon continues his habit of catching big billfish on spinning tackle. This time he scored twice in one week on the Harvester.
Look at the workout the Dixon boys are giving to our new Shimano Stella spinners; we weren’t sure how these would hold up to such a fight, but it turns out these are just as tough as our Tiagra conventional reels.
Later in the week Eric struck again, this time with the old reliable Penn Slammer.
Great work by this father and son duo of Colorado anglers!
The super panga Explorer started the month of June on an absolute tear with big numbers of Sailfish releases.
When the Sails are piled up this thick, the challenge isn’t to catch them; it’s releasing them quickly so we can catch some more!
After a few solo releases to get started, Captain Fico and Mate Elias pulled off this sweet Double Sailfish release!
The hits kept coming the next day with several more releases on the scorecard.
The action stayed strong throughout the week, highlighted by this second Double release:

Nice work by the big battleship!
Art and Christine Jones knocked it out of the park on the 25th with a wide array of fish marking up the scorecard.
After nabbing this tasty Queen Snapper, the Wanderer headed offshore to hunt Sailfish.
They stayed cool with these new FishingNosara self-cooling hats, and that spelled trouble for these high-flying Sailfish.
The height of the day’s action was this triple hook-up, with all three Sailfish safely released:
Even with this full scorecard, the never-quit Captain William put the lines out one more time and nabbed another pair of Sailfish.

The highlight was clearly this sweet Double Sailfish releases executed by Mate Johnson to perfection:
The bite has been on fire this week with big numbers of Sailfish bites. The Discoverer knocked out five Sailfish releases on a half day trip with client Dwayne Fuller.

Art and Christine Jones got their week of fishing off to a fast start with the Harvester reporting a swarm of sweet Sailfish releases.

After the early run of Sailfish releases they hooked into this meaty Dorado estimated to weigh 30lbs.
With dinner taken care of, the Jones crew went back to trophy fish hunting:
Around mid-day they hooked-up a hunting pair of Sailfish. Mate Kevin did an excellent job to coordinate both fights and ensure safe releases.
They followed up with another double hookup, but this time one spit the hook and escaped.
