Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
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!
Returning angler David Svec knocked out several Sailfish on a full day of action.
Each guy got several shots at Sailfish, with six successful releases on the day.
They also nabbed some big Yellowfin Tuna for the dinner table.
