Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Great action on the Discoverer as Captain David reports that the near-shore waters are chocked-full of big Dorados and hungry Sailfish.
What a great view from Captain David’s office:
All the Sails were safely released and the Dorado filets were bagged up for these satisfied clients.
Corey Cabral and his posse had a fantastic half-day trip on the Wanderer will great Sailfish action backed up with thick Yellowfin Tuna
Captain William is off to a fast start this season…with this trio of releases he is already at ten Sailfish releases and we are still in the first month!
It’s an unusual treat to see beefy Yella Fellas this early in the season, but trust me that no one is complaining!
Great fishing by the flagship Wanderer and these excellent Naples, FL anglers.
John Shellhorn returned to the Wanderer for his third and final trip of the week, and the action was blisteringly hot for this Jacksonville Beach angler.
Captain William led the way to Sailfish City and the flagship scored big with four billfish released.
The highlight of the day was a Double Sailfish hookup!
Outstanding fish handling by First Mate Alex to ensure the safe release of both of these magnificent monsters.
For good measure they also scored this beefy Dorado to round out an excellent day of fishing.
John Shellhorn and his group kept the pedel to the metal with Captain William on board the mighty Wanderer with another excellent Sailfish release backed-up by several tasty Dorados.
This was a nice Sailfish release, but the day’s highlight was this MASSIVE Dorado:
Great work by the flagship Wanderer to deliver the goods for these super clients.
The Wanderer is back in action and itching to ruin her new paint job with some fresh fish blood.
Client John Shellhorn did the deed with a dozen Dorados on ice!
Who say’s chickens can’t fly?
That newly painted floor looks good with this particular arrangement:
The next day they headed further off-shore and Captain William put them neck-deep in a billfish battle:
A safe release by First Mate Alex was icing on the cake for this blue water adventure.
Jacksonville’s own John ‘Porkchop’ Porcella knocked out a wide variety of sea life on board the Explorer, highlighted by this big Amberjack:
Later in the day they went offshore and roped a Double Sailfish release!
Excellent performance from Captain Carlos and the boat that doesn’t know the meaning of ‘off-season’!
Captain Carlos has the Explorer rocking-and-rolling this ‘off-season’ with another successful trip on October 10.
This Sailfish release was the highlight ofย the trip. Great release by Mate Kevin to assure we’ll see this beauty again later this season.
They didn’t leave empty handed, either; this tasty Yellowfin Tuna will yields some excellent filets for this growing lad. Nice catch!
Captain Carlos and the unstoppable Explorer are performing brilliantly during this ‘off-season’…how does SIX Sailfish releases sound to you?
We’ve been trying to tell y’all, but sometimes pictures are worth a thousand words:
Great fish handling by Mate Fico who is always working on his game, even during September and October.
Just another day from the hardest-working boat in Garza!
Just because the boats are afraid to fish does not mean the fish are afraid to eat.
The never-quit Explorer is powering through this ‘off-season’ with three great trips with newlyweds Veronica and Larry Tatum.
On September 9 they ventured offshore for the first of three 5hr. trips and scored a pair of Sailfish along with a nice bycatch of Rainbow Runners and Mole Snappers.
The next day they added another nice Sailfish, plus another pile of Snappers.
Larry also got the best of this 25lbs. Rooster Fish:
Nice fish-handling by Mate Fico to see this fish to a safe live release.
That funky fish on the left is called a Barbero Snapper and is certainly a rare catch in our area.
September 12 was getaway day, and once again Larry and Veronica found Sailfish success.
Great work by the legendary Explorer and the fearless Captain Carlos.
Captain Carlos finished the season on a strong note, with multiple excellent Sailfish releases on the scorecard for late-August.
The 26-foot Super Panga is a known expectation-shatterer, and her performance this season should silence anyone who says you need a big boat to catch big fish.
Anglers young and old alike found billfish success on the barroom brawler, plus Captain Carlos added some nice Yella Fellas for the filet bag.
Another year, another great performance from Captain Carlos and the unstoppable Explorer.
