Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
North Carolina’s own Chad Grimes brought his buddies to Nosara for a week of big blue water fishing action.
They started their campaign on the Explorer with great early results.
After these great Sailfish releases, the crew got a visit from a special visitor: the rare Spotted Whale Shark:
This beauty came close enough to the boat for Chad to actually touch it…a very rare and wonderful treat!
Jacksonville’s own Brian Comer won his trip to Nosara through the annual Florida Sportsman Magazine Expo, and like most of our Northeast Florida anglers he found great success on the Pacific’s blue water.
After their big Marlin score earlier in the week, they followed up with a pair of Sailfish releases on an afternoon half day with Captain Carlos.
Great fish-handling by Mate Kevin to see these beasts swim free.
Craig and Paula took a trip on the Wanderer with grandbaby Kylee in tow, and the Sailfish showed up in numbers.
Kylee has been watching FishingNosara DVDs since she was born, and she proved her prowess on the boat…this kid keeps her eyes glued to the baits like an old salty dog.
Craig scored some Sailfish releases and Kylee finally got to see the live 3D version the the DVDs she enjoys so much.
The Wanderer welcomed client JP Jones and his friends for and offshore Sailfish battle on August 10.
Overcast skies kept the water’s surface temperature cool, luring the big billfish to the surface where they hit the baits early and often.
Great performance from First Mate Alex to coordinate the fights and Captain William to stay on the bite.
This group had such fun that they extended their trip on the spot, yielding several more Sailfish releases.
Big Sailfish and big smiles on the Wanderer!
These boys put a whipping on a swarm of Sailfish on a full day trip August 5.
These monsters boast remarkable beauty, especially on a day where the water is super-clear.
Excellent hunting by Captain William and great safe releases by First Mate Alex.
The Explorer closed out the month strong…fresh on the heels of several Marlin releases, they continued to score multiple Sailfish releases in late July:
Also they snagged a sweet Dorado for the dinner table:
Mike Gilbert’s posse kept the pedal to the metal on the Discoverer as Captain David put them on a swarm of Sailfish on July 31.
Great releases by anglers of all ages on the battleship!
Did I say three Marlins in three days?
I meant four Marlins in four days!
The barroom brawler is on a history-making streak, this time scoring a mammoth Blue Marlin for client Ward Heinrich.
Safe released as always by Mate Kevin.
They also marked the scorecard with a Sailfish release.
Wonderful work by the legendary Explorer!
Mike Gilbert’s group continued their amazing hot streak on the water with a fantastic Blue Marlin release on the Explorer.
This monster is certainly the fish-of-a-lifetime, and is the third Marlin release for the Explorer in as many days.
This consistency really speaks to Captain Carlos’ growth as a fisherman, and Mate Kevin’s fearlessness in the cockpit.
They rounded out the scorecard with a nice Sailfish release.
Briant Keen and his family had fabulous five Sailfish release day with Captain William on July 28.
They started quick with a release just one hour into the trip, then the action stayed strong throughout the day.
The highlight was a Double Sailfish release executed perfectly by First Mate Alex.
The seas were tall due to a big swell the night before, but this hard-fishing family fought through the queasiness and kept notching the scorecard.
