Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Our good buddy Bob Hartin and his family took to the Mega Panga as a school of BIG Yellowfin Tuna swarmed our area, and the crafty Captain Alex was on the scene to mop them up!
Bob scored big fish with us way back in 2012, and it’s good to see his fishing prowess is still top-notch.
They added to the big monster Yellowfin from the morning with a armload of 30-40lbs. Yellas later in the afternoon.
Add to that a nice Sailfish and you got a perfect day of blue water action:
Harry Mueller’s posse kept up the strong fishing with a bevy of Sailfish releases in mid-June on the Wanderer.
They didn’t leave empty handed either, as Captain William led the Wanderer to a school of nice football-sized Yellowfin Tunas.
June 14, 2016 marks the first time in the seven year history of the FishingNosara team that Marlin releases were scored by every team boat.
Photos and full reports coming soon!

Jacksonville anglers Al Bourgeoisie and Robert Thomason had a wildly productive day on June 13 with several Sailfish releases backed up with several big Yellowfin Tunas.
After the high-flying Sailfish show, they followed the spinning dolphin schools and snuck the Tunas out from under their beaks.
Great work by Captain Alex and the mega panga!
The Wanderer had a splendid day of offshore action on June 11.
After an early Sailfish release, the flagship stayed offshore and scored a few football-sized Yellowfin Tunas.
The next day the Wanderer returned offshore and nabbed several more great Sailfish releases.
After all the offshore success, Captain William and Mate Johnson switched it up and moved inshore to best this awesome Cubera Snapper:
The Tallahassee Offshore Mafia hit town on the 10th with capo Don Chuck Harris leading the charge on the Harvester.
This large group booked up all of our boats this week and cut a wide swath through the blue water species.
After a few nice Sailfish releases, they rounded out the day with some tasty plate-sized Yellowfin Tunas.
Great way to start the week for these hard-fishin’ Floridians.
Art Jones enjoyed a great day on the Harvester, starting with some sweet Sailfish releases.
Later on they boated some nice sized Yellowfin Tunas for the dinner table.
Great work by Captain Alex!
Dave Caywood did well offshore with the Harvester on the 19th, starting with an energetic Sailfish release:
Then they nabbed dinner in the form of these fat Yellowfin Tunas.
Amy and Rick Thomas started their fishing adventurer on the super panga Explorer. Captain Fico followed the spinning dolphins to a nice pot of Yellowfin Tuna.
They casted topwater plugs at these tasty morsels and pulled a few nice ones on board.
Great start to the week for the Thomas family!
The Explorer continues to grow her reputation as a fly-weight fish-fighting weapon as many large fish have met their match.
This Double Sailfish release is certainly a highlight, and the combo of Captain Fico and Mate Elias have made big Sailfish releases a common occurrence on the super panga.
There has also been a nice run of Yellowfin Tuna which the Explorer has taken advantage of:
Most recently our great friends Ken and Brenda Russell along with Larry Komenda and Misti Nolan nabbed this sweet Rooster fish release:
Great work by the legendary Explorer!
