White Tuna | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

February 10, 2014

Paul West and Amanda Sterling took a whirlwind trip throughout the whole country of Costa Rica, but when it was time to go fishing this Neptune Beach guy knew exactly where to go: the FishingNosara flagship Wanderer!

Amanda was neck deep in the action all day long, starting off with this fat Dorado and then adding a small White Tuna for the sushi platter.

The big highlight of the trip was this awesome Sailfish released by Ms. Sterling

“I am so proud of Amanda Sterling a 9′ Sailfish, 100 lbs, off the coast of Costa Rica, truly a rock star!” writes Paul. “Thank you…you guys are the best!”

The Adventurer welcomed Jose Luis Barzuna on February 9 and this guy was on the fish early and often.

This small fish were a nice icebreaker, but the true fish-of-a-lifetime came calling in the afternoon:

Wow! That is a grande Sailfish even by Costa Rica standards. Estimated by Captain Carlos at over 150lbs., this monster was safely released as usual.

Amazing action from the awesome Adventurer!

Melanie Law and her boys enjoyed a relaxing sunset cruise on the Adventurer, plus they went home with an array of rare tuna filets.

Check out the Rainbow Tuna (left) and the White Tuna that these fellas roped in. Great work by Captain Carlos and these young anglers!

Kevin Daly and his buddy took the to ultimate two-man fishing vessel the Adventurer and their 2.5 hours on the water yielded an excellent selection of Tunas

Two Whites and a Yella Fella mean good eatin’ for these boys! Nice job by Captain Carlos to get his clients on the fish.

Jason Hastings and his pal spent the morning on the switchblade Adventurer and pulled in a few white tunas for a breakfast snack.

These may not be scale-tipping monsters, but they all look good on the plate with butter and garlic! Nice work by the fish-catching Captain Carlos and the unstoppable Adventurer.

The Wanderer hosted a nice family for a morning half-day and report a couple of nice Dorados in the fishbox backed up by rod-bending action on small Tunas.

Always great to see the kids get on the reel!

Great work by Captain William and First Mate Alex introducing these youngsters to the craft of sport fishing.

Pat Faloona and his son booked the Wanderer for a morning of inshore fishing, and they report the first Yellowtail Snapper of the season on ice.

This brightly-colored morsel is a chef’s delight, yielding rich white meat that is a real treat. They also added some vareity to the refrigerator in the form is this small White Tuna.

Not scale-tippers by any stretch, but still these are some great-tasting catches…excellent work son!

Jed Duncan brought his family along for a quick morning 2.5 hour trip on the Wanderer. These quick hitters are a great way to get the family involved in fishing without committing to a full day on the water.

Captain William and First Mate Alex are wonderful with children and they made sure this little lady got herself a nice fishing experience.

Great work by the boat that rules Garza bay not just as a big billfish hunter, but also as the best family-friendly boat in the whole area.

A fine group of anglers came to us from the Blue Spirit Yoga Retreat desiring a taste of some blue water fishing. We split the party up between the Wanderer and Explorer with great rod-bendin’ action reported from both groups.

Check out this fine White Tuna from the Wanderer. Clearly this boat has the tools to satisfy any angler of any age!

Nice work by the big blue beauty!

The offshore action was slowed today by some rainy conditions, so the Wanderer stayed inside for most of the trip and dropped lines to the bottom.

Team Wenzel added a few morsels for the dinner table as well in the form of this small White Tuna and a tasty Ciero Mackerel.

The action was a bit slow, but the crew of the Wanderer keeps the mood light and fun no matter the scorecard. First Mate Alex showed Mr. Wenzel some of his signature knots, while Captain William found a small school of dolphins to the client’s delight.

Tracy Wenzel had a big Wahoo on the line, but ended up losing it after a few titanic leaps; The fact that she managed to hook the beast with spinning tackle is an accomplisment on its own, but clearly the fight was slanted in the fish’s favor on this encounter.

Still, it was a nice day of fishing with some filets to show for it. Team Wenzel is all smiles, showing their true Florida angling roots…let’s see if their patience will pay off as they have a few more trips on the schedule this week.
