Sailfish | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

May 21, 2016

The Wanderer tracked down a nice high-flying Sailfish late in May.

Captain William put the moves on this beast and kept the fight short.

Nice fish-handling by Mate Johnson on this clean release by the mighty flagship.

The Discoverer leads the team in Grand Slams this year, and on May 21 close to notching the scorecard with another one.

Joined by client Jennifer Engle, Captain Carlos nabbed two Blue Marlins, and two Sailfish.

For good measure they also added a Dorado for the dinner table.

Fantastic work by Jennifer Engle and the Discoverer.

Captain Alex took Team Engle for a Sailfish catching adventure on May 21 with multiple releases:

What a fighter!

The Sailfish were piled up thick but the Mega Panga kept the fights short and maximized her results.

The big battleship pulled double duty on June 20 with two half day trips scheduled. The morning trip scored this sweet Sailfish release:

Then the afternoon group returned to the hunt and nabbed a nice Sailfish of their own.

Great work by the big bad Discoverer!

Edgar Bonilla moved to the Harvester on the 20th and nabbed another sweet Sailfish for his scorecard.

Safe released by Mate Kevin as always.

Dave Caywood did well offshore with the Harvester on the 19th, starting with an energetic Sailfish release:

Then they nabbed dinner in the form of these fat Yellowfin Tunas.

The Explorer brought the house down with a bevy of Sailfish releases with Robert Noe, Amy Thomas, and Rick Thomas on May 19.

Captain Fico rode out to Sailfish city and found that these fellas were fired-up and ready to feed.

The bites came early and often for this group of Florida anglers.

All this action came on just a half day of fishing, meaning this fun-loving group was back on shore in time to enjoy all that Nosara has to offer.

Pretty sweet way to start a day!

The Discoverer continued the hot action on May 18 with a nice pair of Sailfish releases with clients Edgar and Laura Bonilla:

Captain Fico is on fire and his clients are reaping the rewards.

The Discoverer scored a quartet of Sailfish releases with client on Randy Hudson May 16.

Nice fish handling by Mate Juan Carlos led to safe releases as usual.

They also put a pair of 10lbs. Yellowfin Tuna on ice to round out the trip.

Jay Thompson is one of our best clients and has fished on the Wanderer since we first put her in the water seven years ago.

After a nice early Sailfish release, these Florida anglers scored a bunch of big Dorados for the fishbox.
