Yellowfin Tuna | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

March 14, 2016

Captain Fico and Mate Elias have delivered white-hot action to their clients this month on the Explorer.

These guys have the 28-foot super panga dialed-in and their results are proof that you don’t need a big boat to catch big fish.

The Sailfish bite is on strong with the barroom brawler knocking out several Sails, including some Double Sailfish releases (above).

Rooster fish releases have also been a constant this month for the Explorer:

It’s not all trophy releases, either. The fish box on the super panga has stayed bloody with reports of big Dorado and feisty Yellowfin Tunas:

FishingNosara Hall of Famers Ron LaGro and Catherine Chase rejoined the Wanderer for their annual blue water fishing adventure, and scored lots of big Sailfish on just a 5 hour half-day.

Catherine has a knack for battling big billfish, and she put on a catching clinic like usual.

Ron also brought home the bacon in the form of this football-sized Yellowfin Tuna.

David Brand is my kind of fisherman: He arrived in Nosara for a five night stay and fished all four days from sunrise to sunset on the mega panga Harvester.

His dedication to fishing yielded rewards early and often with multiple Sailfish releases on the first day.

They also nabbed a Yellowfin tuna to keep them fed for the week.

On day three the Sailfish were thick as cord-wood and Captain Alex masterfully hunted down these high flyers.

After a whopping twelve Sailfish releases, David Brand opted to head inshore a little early to hunt another exotic trophy fish:

This 30+lbs. Rooster Fish was the perfect send-off to a great week of fishing on the Harvester.

Michael and Faye Tarantino are our first anglers to come our way from the CCA Louisiana chapter.

They broke the ice in fine fashion with a fine Sailfish release backed up by a tasty Yellowfin Tuna.

Great work by the unstoppable Explorer.

Our good friend Lynn Tebbenkamp had a rollicking good time on the Wanderer as Captain William scored a big Yellowfin Tuna offshore.

This is a rare catch for this early in the year, and is hopefully a sign of more big Yella Fellas to come.

They also released a beautiful Sailfish to round out the day.

Jackie Powell’s final trip of the week was by far the best, with Captain Alex reporting lots of big Sailfish releases.

The bite was so white-hot that they could hardly keep a bait in the water.

After all the safe releases, the group nabbed some end-of-week filets from this nice sized Yellowfin Tuna.

Great work by these fun-loving anglers!

Returning Hall of Famer Dennis Seltsam and his lovely wife Debbie had a nice bit of action on the Harvester with Captain Alex reporting several nice football-sized Yellowfin Tuna.

They also scored a late-day Sailfish to round out the trip.

Ed Brennan and George Foster had a nice half day on the Wanderer with a few Sailfish releases backed up by tasty Yellowfin Tunas.

Great work by the mighty Wanderer!

Captain William stayed on the Yellowfin Tuna bite by following spinning porpoises out to the feeding ground.

Like clockwork the blue beauty boated another sweet Yellowfin Tuna.

Shawn Binn brought the whole family along for a full day trip on the Wanderer and they had great results on Yellowfin Tuna.

The kids got in on the action and kept piling the fishbox with fresh Yella Fella filets.

It’s always great to see youngsters bringing home the bacon!
