Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Captain Scott Brownlee and his buddy Gene DiBetta took a whirlwind trip to Nosara where they fished three trips in three days…that’s Florida anglers for ya!
The Discoverer reports lots of great catches for this duo.
What’s even better is that these guys planned this trip four days before they arrived…when the fishing itch hits, you gotta scratch!
The Discoverer has kept cooking with gas in the New Year with a fantastic run on Sailfish.
Captain David and Mate Juan Carlos have found their billfishing rhythm and are posting double-digit release numbers.
Also they have scored some excellent meat fish, from the usual Dorado to the rare-for-this-time-of-year Yellowfin Tuna:
Great work by the battleship!
December 22 was another day of double-duty for William and Alex on the flagship, and the morning clients got things cooking with a bunch of Sailfish releases.
In the afternoon session, Hendrick Engel and his daughter continued their fishing hot streak with a bevy of Yellowfin Tuna catches on the Wanderer.
It is rare to see Yella Fellas this early in the season, especially with such good size to them.
Team Engel also scored a nice Sailfish to round out the day.
Roger Bowgen doubled-down on his first great day of fishing with another world-beating performance with Captain William on December 20 with ANOTHER Mighty Marlin release!
Scored by Roger’s son, this Striped Marlin a true fish of a lifetime!
They also rallied up three Sailfish, including one especially high-flyin’ specimen.
Safe releases all around by the incomparable First Mate Alex.
The Bowgen Boys also walloped a beautiful Yellowfin Tuna.
Add those filets to that trophy case full of billfish releases and you have another fantastic trip delivered by the mighty Wanderer.
Corey Cabral and his posse had a fantastic half-day trip on the Wanderer will great Sailfish action backed up with thick Yellowfin Tuna
Captain William is off to a fast start this season…with this trio of releases he is already at ten Sailfish releases and we are still in the first month!
It’s an unusual treat to see beefy Yella Fellas this early in the season, but trust me that no one is complaining!
Great fishing by the flagship Wanderer and these excellent Naples, FL anglers.
Jacksonville’s own John ‘Porkchop’ Porcella knocked out a wide variety of sea life on board the Explorer, highlighted by this big Amberjack:
Later in the day they went offshore and roped a Double Sailfish release!
Excellent performance from Captain Carlos and the boat that doesn’t know the meaning of ‘off-season’!
Captain Carlos has the Explorer rocking-and-rolling this ‘off-season’ with another successful trip on October 10.
This Sailfish release was the highlight of the trip. Great release by Mate Kevin to assure we’ll see this beauty again later this season.
They didn’t leave empty handed, either; this tasty Yellowfin Tuna will yields some excellent filets for this growing lad. Nice catch!
Captain Carlos finished the season on a strong note, with multiple excellent Sailfish releases on the scorecard for late-August.
The 26-foot Super Panga is a known expectation-shatterer, and her performance this season should silence anyone who says you need a big boat to catch big fish.
Anglers young and old alike found billfish success on the barroom brawler, plus Captain Carlos added some nice Yella Fellas for the filet bag.
Another year, another great performance from Captain Carlos and the unstoppable Explorer.
August 30 was getaway day for Bill Harris and the posse, and they rounded out their trip with an excellent outing to Sailfish City.
After an early pair of Sailfish releases, Captain William discovered a big school of porpoises on the feed…guess what they were feasting on?
That’s right: Beefy Yellowfin Tunas taste good to all mammals, both primates and cetaceans.
All these feeder fish attracted a few more Sailfish, which Team Harris released with glee.
Great work by this class of Hall of Famers on an excellent week of fishing.
Captain Fico has his game dialed-in on the Adventurer and finished the season on a high note. Check out this wide array of inshore species pried up by the 23-foot pocket knife:
Rock Snapper and Yellowtail Snapper
Dorados
Amberjack and Snappers
Big Amberjack
Yellowfin Tuna
White Tuna
Cierro Mackeral and Ponpano.
That’s a heck of a lot of varietey for just one week of fishing. Masterful work by Captain Fico and the Adventurer!
