Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
The FishingNosara team hit a Marlin dry-spell in the middle of March, but Captain Fico on theย Explorer scouted far offshore and found one on the 19th.
The very next day Captain Carlos capitilzed on that intelligence and found a Black Marlin of his own near the same area.
Teamwork makes the dream work, right?
After the Marlin release, Tom Schwaab’s group also scored a Sailfish release and put a few Yellowfin Tunas in the filet bag.
Great work by the big battleship Discoverer.
Theย Wanderer and Phil Jentgen’s family had a nice trip on the 18th.
They got a little bit of everything that the ocean was offering; a nice Sailfish release was backed-up with nice catches of Dorado and Yellowfin Tunas.
Mike Loughrey and theย Harvester scored big on March 18. The highlight was this floor-sweeping monster Dorado.
They augmented this catch with some smaller Yellowfin Tunas and a nice Sailfish release.
“Great time in Nosara last week,” Mike wrote via email. “Casa Neptune is a great spot for a couple folks. Thanks for everything. Fishing with Alex and Wilson was epic! Freddy, Javier, Mary, Alex & Yoseph were great to be with.”
Charles Tompkins joined theย Explorer in mid-March for a fun run of fishing action.
This Sailfish was caught early in the trip, but the real highlight was this monster Yellowfin Tuna:
Great work by Captain Fico and the barroom brawler
Captain Carlos kept the pedel to the metal on the 17th, scoring Sailfish releases and a tasty Yellowfin tuna.
Theย Wanderer welcomed back Ken and Brenda Russell for another great campaign of Costa Rica fishing.
They were flanked by returning anglers Misti Nolan and Larry Komenda, plus first timers Laurie Cotton and Bert Brothers
On the 15th they nagged eleven Sailfish releases backed up by five Yellowfin Tunas and one small Dorado. Thanks to theย Explorer for helping surround this baitpod and calling in the action.
On March 16, Ryan Pugh took his boys fishing on the Discoverer without the bright glare of the TV cameras.
They still performed like stars with Sailfish release backed up with several Dorados and Yellowfin Tunas.
Don Dingman and the boys continued their battle on the 14th, this time with Captain William.
The Master Captain delivered the Sailfish releases, but also hunted down the tasty Yellowfin Tunas.
“Another epic day with Charlie & Jack- the tuna slayers… with a couple of sails in the mix too. Love this place.”
Captain Alex took theย Harvester way offshore on the 14th, and Kevin Shimp’s family was ready for the long ride into battle.
Steve Shimp fought an active high-flyer, and then young Josie countered with a Sailfish release of her own.
Big Dorados and Yellowfin Tunas rounded out the haul.
Great work by these Southwest Florida anglers and the mega pangaย Harvester.
Kenny Strickler has been fishing with us for many years, and he returned to Nosara on March 9 for another offshore campaign.
Theย Harvester reports a full fishbox with multiple catches of Yellowfin Tunas and Dorado.
