Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Captain William and Mate Jocxer welcomed Dan Johnson for a very productive day of offshore action. The highlight of the trip was this excellent Double Sailfish Release:
Nice to have Captain Fico of the Explorer along to lend an extra hand on this difficult fish-handling feat.
Later they had great success on a swarm of Yellowfin Tuna and Dorado:
The Discoverer welcomed aboard Catie Wilson and her group for a lovely day of meat-fish conquests.
They nabbed two Yellowfin Tunas and two Dorado, all with good size to them. Great work by Captain Carlos on the battleship…later in the week the Battleship nabbed these tasty filets:
The Wanderer scored big with Craig Sutton, Dave Leibowitz, and Brad Banner leading the charge against a fired-up school of Yellowfin Tuna.
In total they nabbed nine big Yella Fellas. Great work by the big blue beauty!
The Wanderer welcomed Richard Rileyfor a great half-day fishing adventure, highlighted by this high-flying Sailfish:
After the safe release they picked up a perfect filet-sized Yellowfin Tuna:
Great work by the mighty flagship!
Tampa angler Bill Harris is a returning FishingNosara Hall of Famer and in mid-November he brought another great group of anglers to ply waters off of Nosara with Captain William on the flagship Wanderer.
In addition to Mr. Harris theย Wanderer welcomedย Joe Arriaga, Mark Scott, Brady Harris, Jimmy Erwin, and Ron Cox for three days of action. They started off inshore with some Bonitas and a nice Jack Crevelle, then on their second day headed offshore. Here is a shot of the new-look Wanderer taken from theย Discoverer:
The Wanderer worked in tandem with the Discovererย to pluck some tasty Yellowfin Tunas from under this feeding school of porpoises:
On the third day they trolled offshore and a tasty Dorado:
Great work by our old friend Bill Harris and his posse!
David Little joined Captain Fico on the Explorer for a fun day featuring a wide array of catches.
After this bulky Jack Crevalle hit the icebox, they nabbed this excellent tasting Ciero Mackeral:
Late in the trip Mr. Little scored a football-sized Yellowfin Tuna to round out his filet bag.
Three nice specimens of three tasty species…all in a days’ work for the Super Panga!
Captain Fico welcome client Stephen Johnson for a memorable half-day on the Explorer.
They scored a pair of dinner-table worthy Yella Fellas to start the morning, then nabbed this excellent Sailfish release:
Great work by Captain Fico on the hunting and by Mate Elias on the safe release.
There has been a nice school of Yellowfin Tuna in town this week, and while the bigger boats went off-shore and found 30+lbs. Yellas, the Explorer stayed near to shore and nabbed a trio of 10-15lbs. specimens.
Remember that the smaller Yellowfin Tuna actually yield denser meat, and once again the Explorer proves her prowess in filling the fishbox.
They also scored a late-day Sailfish release to round out a great day of fishing:
Chip Jones posted a day of massive results on the battleship Discoverer with a Sailfish release, six Rooster Fish releases, and 11 Yellowfin Tunas on ice.
The Rooster fish releases are unusual for this time of year, and these clients were especially fired up with these trophies.
The Discoverer continues her great fishing as we move into the new season. Great work by Captain Carlos and Mate Johnson on loan from the Wanderer.
Jeff Scanlin did well on the Discoverer as Captain Carlos put them on the big school of Yellowfin Tuna that swept through our area in late October.
Great work by the battleship!
