Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it…the Wanderer returned to the near-shore reef system again with Chuck Elzer and guess what they found: more big White Tuna!
Clearly the Elzer’s are some hungry anglers because they must have filled their refrigerator by now after two excellent days of White Tuna harvesting.
ย
After a great Sailfish release offshore, Chuck Elzer’s family stayed inshore to see what they could get for the dinner table. Captain William’s keen instincts led them to the near-shore reef system where they pulled in a whole mess of White Tuna.
White Tuna are incredible rich and tasty, however they usually never grow over 10lbs. around here. One look at these specimens and it is clear that these are at least 15lbs. or more!
These fish came in with great consistency and fervor…even Captain David on the Explorer came by to check out the feeding frenzy (see backround of photo, left side)
Great start to the week for Chuck Elzer and his ladies!
Great Sailfish action on theย Wanderer! Dave Wenzel’s group took to the blue water and hooked up two nice Pacific Sailfish.ย
Conway Johnson was the angler for the first fish, backed up by young Alex Wenzel on the release. Nice FSU hat son!
What a perfect way to get acquainted with the local billfish population! The kid’s smile says it all:
The second Sailfish of the trip was bested by Dave Wenzel and it was just as much a monsters as the first.
Excellent fish handling by First Mate Alex to ensure the safety of the fish and the anglers, and great hunting as always by the master Captain William.
It’s staff fishing day for the crew of Nosara Paradise Rentals as General Manager Javier Hernandez was joined by Marino and Grevan from the property staff for an inshore harvest on board the Explorer.
El Jefe helped break in our new set of Penn Spinfishers as the boys brought home a nice Cuberra Snapper, 8 Yellowfin Tuna (20lb.), 3 White Tuna (15lbs.) plus a small Dorado. This is the second time this week that Captain David has captured the four major meat species on a single trip and by the looks of these reports the Explorer may put the fish market out of business.
Great catches for some great guys, even Marcos is getting in on the fun!
Erin Byker booked the Super Panga for a 3/4 day on the inshore reefs and they harvests an excellent array of table fare.
These Michigan-based anglers caught a bunch of Bonitas early on then hit the jackpot with two nice 12lbs. White Tunas and a tasty Yellowfin Tuna. Great work by Captain David on the 26-foot Explorer.
Dave Buckner and his boys had a landmark day on the bar-room brawlin’ Explorer today with a 12lbs. White tuna, 30lbs. Yellowfin Tuna, and 20lbs. Dorado in the fishbox.
Such variety is not uncommon in these waters…having the tools and talent to bring them all in on the same trip is what makes the Explorer the best mid-size boat in Garza Bay!
Decked out in support of the Final Four contending Michigan Wolverines, Ray Anderson and his boys took a 3/4 day trip on the Wandererย and brought home a variety of good eatin’ table fare including this small White Tuna and a nice Jack Crevelle.
Hail to the victors indeed! Another great day of family fun on the famous Wanderer!
Our new friend Ruth Fricke brought her family out for a nice day of fishing on the Wanderer and managed to score some filets for the dinner table. The highlights of a busy day of action were this tasty White tuna and a nice Jack Crevelle.
Lots of fun for these folks on their day fishing on the flagship.
Rich Binnell and his son had a day of big smiles and fun action on the 23 foot Adventurer with Captain Carlos. The fish were gigantic by any stretch, but the small Snappers and White tunas taste just as good as the big ones!
Looks like the lack of big fish didn’t diminish the smiles on board the Adventurer!
All told we got happy clients and fish in the box as the Adventurer delivers a fun, safe, educational family fishing trip.
Glen Sutherland booked the Adventurer for a half-day excursion and the little 23-foot panga put Glen on top of big fish! Dorado was the most popular item on the menu and the lethal weapon hauled in several nice fish. Here is the biggest one:
They also caught a handful of Bonitas; not worth keeping but still nice to have the rods bend throughout the trip.
