Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

Captain Fico’s Explorer is a great place for young anglers to learn the craft of fishing, and on July 10 this young man got a lesson in near-shore fishing.
These excellent Yellowfin Tunas were the highlight of the trip, which also included a nice Jack Crevalle.
Texas angler Bob Zuniga and his group had a big time on the Wanderer with several great Yellowfin Tuna catches on July 9.
The big Yellowfins came in early and often, and the flagship Wanderer was there to snatch them up.
The porpoises are running hard in early July, and our bottlenosed friends have the Yellowfin Tuna rounded up and ready for delivery.
Michael McDonald and his son loaded up great Yellowfin Tunas throughout the day.
With the fishboxes full of filets, Young Mr. McDonald hooked up a Sailfish and fought him all the way to a safe release.
FishingNosara Hall of Famer Paul Worthington returned to Nosara to add to his legacy, and on July 8 this Florida angler scored this awesome Blue Marlin release.
Later in the trip they added an awesome Sailfish release to the scorecard.
In addition to the trophy releases, Team Worthington put several big Yellowfin Tunas in the icebox.
Mark Andrews finished off his week with another great day of Yellowfin Tuna catches on July 6.
They added to the filet haul with this monster Dorado.
As a final send off they nabbed these super Sailfish releases.
Mark Andrews’ group was back on July 4 and as part of their Independence Day celebration they liberated this massive 42lbs. Dorado from the sea.
This floor sweeper was backed up with another monster Mahi Mahi
Several big Yellowfin Tunas were also added to this mix; a great follow up to their Ahi haul from earlier in the week.
Finally, Mark got hooked into a BIIIIGGG Black Marlin with a spinning reel.
Wait a minute…how is he trying to fight a Marlin with a spinning reel? What could possibly lead someone into bringing a knife to a bazooka fight?
Oh, well that explains it. Anyhow the Black Marlin only fought for a few moments before it spit the hook.
Still, a great day from the Harvester!
Here’s the message Mark sent us: “Just wanted to thank everyone involved for such a great vacation. Great place to visit, great fishing, and wonderful people in Costa. Debra and myself had a great time. Thanks so much.”

Andrea Fornemark and the Wanderer grabbed a wonderful pile of big Yellowfin Tunas .
We’ve been catching lots of Yellowfin Tunas this summer, but the size of these Yella Fellas are starting to get bigger and bigger.
Great work by Captain William and the mighty Wanderer!
Robbie Parks, Matt Parks, and Chris Shakib had a nice trip on the Harvester with a boatload of Yellowfin Tunas on ice.
Great work by Captain Alex on the mega panga Harvester!
Dan Yoo and Alonso Miller joined Captain Fico on the Explorer for a sweet day of filet gathering on July 1.
These football-sized Yellowfin Tunas are excellent table fare, but don’t sleep on the tasty ceviche that can be achieved from this big Jack Crevalle.
Awesome job by the super panga!
Walt Bailey and his son scored a nice pile of filets on June 28. Check out these sweet Dorado and Yellowfin Tuna scores.
It’s always great to see young anglers get a taste of great blue water action.
