Yellowfin Tuna – Page 111 – Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

December 15, 2019

On December 15 angler Matt Finn performed brilliantly with several fat Yella Fells on ice.

The Explorer is always a good bet for a suprise fish, and this monster Wahoo fits the bill.

This fish is quite abundant, but this catch is surprising because the sharp teeth of the Wahoo tends to overwhelm our all-mono blue water rigs.

The barroom brawler also nagged the more predictable haul of Yellowfin Tunas.

The Lutz boys kept up the hot action on December 11. Captain Alex caught this amazing footage of BIG Yellowfin Tunas breaching the water:

They worked over the bubbling pot of fish and nagged this pair of excellent specimens.

The Harvester welcomed Bob and Travis Suit for a fun day of blue water action. A nice Sailfish release led off the scoring.

The remainder of the day was spent slaying big Yellowfin Tunas.

Looks like these boys will be well fed for the week!

John Brule and John Finley had a very productive day on December 9, with Captain William reporting excellent Yellowfin Tuna action.

This monster was the highlight of the trip:

Dan Johnson had another great day with Captain Fico on December 9.

“My guests were 11-year-old Moises (son to Capitan Fico) and his friend 14-year-old Anthony. They are new captains.”

“Great fishing with Captain Fico. We caught 10 tunas and a 50 pound gaffer Dorado.”

The Explorer introduced Travis and Bob Suits to the blue water species with a nice dose of extreme panga fishing.

This nice Sailfish was the memorable fish of a day which also included some nice Yellowfin Tunas.

FishingNosara Hall of Famer Dan Johnson returned to the Explorer on December 7 and started quickly with a wonderful Sailfish release.

Then in the afternoon the 27-foot barroom brawler nagged several nice Yellowfin Tunas.

Looks like Dan will have plenty to eat this week:

On December 4, Greg Patts and Captain Fico slayed some dragons on board the Explorer.

These nice Sailfish releases were backed up by a nice handful of tasty Yellowfin Tunas.

Great work by the barroom brawler!

Jeff Capen made FishingNosara history back in January with a monster Blue Marlin release on the 23-foot Adventurer.

He came back on December 2 with the family and moved up the 32-foot Harvester, where they scored a bunch of nice Yellowfin Tunas.
