Yellowfin Tuna | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

December 24, 2015

After several days of consistent action, Captain William and the Wanderer earned their spot on the ‘Nice’ list, and Santa filled their stockings with an extremely productive day of off-shore action.

Client John Gaviotis and his group scored a quartet of Sailfish releases early in the day, all safe released by Mate Johnson.

All these trophy releases worked up quite an appetite for the crew, so Captain William followed the porpoises to the Yellowfin Tuna feeding grounds.

Looks like Christmas filets all around for John Gaviotis and the crew of the Wanderer!

Our old buddy Mike Burling has returned to Nosara from the hard-fishing town of Fernandina Beach, FL and once again scored wonderfully on our stretch of blue water.

The legendary Explorer was the scene of the battle, the highlight of which was this bonkers-big Yellowfin Tuna!

More big Yella Fellas were in the area, and met the same fate as their big brother:

They also nabbed few Sailfish releases:

They did have a big Marlin on the line, but the powerful beast spit the hook after a short sparring match with Mr. Burling.

That’s OK…we’ll get him next time!

Team Arrich finished off their three days of fishing with more great action.

Here’s Angie’s Facebook post:

Look at the size of these Yella Fellas:

Eric Dixon continued his light tackle fishing fiesta on the Discoverer with a nice Sailfish release backed up by some tasty Tunas.

Nice work by the boys on these yummy Yella Fellas!

Once again all of these fish were caught from a dead boat with 20lbs. spinning tackle…awesome!

Chris and Angie Arrich continued their fishin’ mission with a great second day of action with Captain William on the Wanderer.

In addition to the Sailfish score, they also added some Yellowfin Tuna to the fishbox:

After mastering trophy billfish releases on the 28th, Eric Dixon and the big battleship Discoverer turned their attention to the dinner table with several super-sized Yellowfin Tunas on ice.

The Yella Fellas have been thick this month and although none of these top Wayne Estes’ monster from earlier this week, these catches combined make for the biggest total haul of tasty filets we’ve seen so far this season.
