Yellowfin Tuna | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

April 26, 2019

The Adventurer continued to score in late April with a nice array of Yellowfin Tunas.

On the 26th Captain David scored a nice Sailfish release.

Big Yellowfin Tuna were on the prowl late April and they put the Wanderer (and her tackle) to the test.

This rod-bending Yellowfin Tuna is definitely a memorable catch.

Elbert Bivins and his family had a fun day on the 25th, boating both Dorados and Yellowfin Tunas for the dinner table.

It’s always fun to see young anglers get a crack at blue water sportfishing.

Jason Stote tipped the scales on the 24th with potentially the biggest Yellowfin Tuna of the season.

This monster was followed up by several other big Yella Fellas, which on many other days would be the big fish in the box.

Later on the hooked up a nice Sailfish for a fun battle.

Check out the Wanderer keeping an eye on the fight in the background.

Both of these sweet billfish were safely released as always.

The Discoverer kept up her hot streak with an excellent round of catches on the 24th. The highlight is clearly this BIG Yellowfin Tuna:

Sailfish also cruised into the spread and ended up safe released as always after a vigorous duel.

The Harvester continued championship-level fishing on the 23rd with Angie Taylor’s group scoring early and often.

A great Sailfish was backed up by several excellent Yellowfin Tunas.

The big fish of the day was an awesome Dorado.

Mark Krier joined the flagship on April 22 and Captain William is stoked to report some great catches.

A nice Sailfish release topped the scorecard, and they also nagged a stack of Yellowfin Tuna filets for the dinner table.

Excellent work by the Wanderer!

The Discoverer scored big with Joel Smith and his family. Check out this MASSIVE Yellowfin Tuna!

Amazing work by Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin to overcome this monster.

The Wanderer continued her hot fishing in mid-April with Jeff Kirk, Tyson Muenich, and Brad Taylor scoring big on multiple species.

A trio of Sailfish releases marked up the scorecard early in the 8-hour trip, and was also augmented by this nice-sized Yellowfin Tuna:

The final hurrah was this sweet Rooster fish release, scored late in the day much closer to shore than the earlier catches.

Fantastic work by Captain William and the mighty flagship Wanderer!

On April 14 the Explorer got into some serious fish. First up was this nice Sailfish release:

Then they followed up the trophy release with an excellent batch of Yellowfin Tuna filets.

All in a day’s work for Captain Fico and the barroom brawler Explorer.
