2010 Is A Record Year For FishingNosara
You already know that FishingNosara is clearly the best choice for Deep Sea Fishing in Costa Rica. Visit our website to learn the Fishing Techniques we use at FishingNosara and to download photos of all these awesome catches. These are just some of the great catches you can read about in FishingNosara’s Fishing Report from Costa Rica:
January 2010
On January 2nd client Marc de Speville was on board the Nice n’ Tight and had a field day, catching four 10lbs. Black tunas and a 30lbs. Dorado. Then on January 4th client Matthew Rempel stayed right on the tail end of the Dorado bite. At the end of a half-day fishing they had caught two nice Dorado, one 30lbs. and the other a whopping 45lbs.
The new year began on January 5th for the Wanderer when client Kelly Masterson had an action-packed day of fishing. The intensifying Marlin bite was felt in the form of a 600lbs. Black Marlin that managed to escape at the last second. After losing a big Sailfish Kelly settled into some great action and ended up catching five 30lbs.-40lbs. Dorado. The next day client Cindy also had some near-miss billfish action with lots of Dorado catches to make up for it: four 30lbs.-40lbs. Dorado and a 30lbs. Wahoo made it to the fishboxes, but a 500lbs. Striped Marlin and Sailfish narrowly escaped. That evening on a sunset cruise client Jean Francois got the most out of his 2.5 hours by bringing home two 30lbs. Dorados and a 10lbs. Yellowfin Tuna.
February 2010
On the 1st of February client Terry Schwartz booked the Nice n’ Tight for a quick 3 hour trip. Captain Eduardo expertly put him right on a nice tuna bite, and in virtually no time at all Terry had boated two outstanding Yellowfin Tuna ranging from 10-12 lbs. These babies made for some delicious eating! For several years now the Nice n’ Tight has been the gold standard for under-25′ boats in Garza, and it appears that reputation is safely intact
Most recently client Michael Weil booked a three hour sunset cruise on theSportsman on February 12th. The bite was very active over the reef and Mr. Weil ended up boating four excellent 12lbs. Black Tunas.
Most recently, the Wanderer was graced by Dennis Rosa and his son Sam for two full days of fishing on the 12th and 14th of February. On the first day they caught two 25lbs. Dorados and a 120lbs. Sailfish.
Then they raised ten Sailfish on the second day and ended up successfully capturing and releasing four of them. Sam showed excellent skills on the reel and was centrally involved in all the Sailfish strikes. He had a great trip with his dad to our little slice of paradise, where they explored the surrounding areas on foot, on the water, and even from the treetops on one of our nearby jungle zip-lines. FishingNosara and Nosara Paradise Rentals are proud to be family-friendly doorways for kids of all ages to enjoy the Pura Vida spirit of Costa Rica.
March 2010
On March 3rd client Hunter Tyree had all kinds of bites popping the lines. On just a three hour trip he caught three Black tunas and a nice 12lbs. White tuna. Captain Vibert’s experience on the nearby reefs consistently provides clients this kind of action-packed fishing.
Just ask client Lee Apgas, who was on board the Cabo on March 9th. He also signed up for a three hour trip and in that short time he reeled in five Black tunas and a beautiful 13lbs. Yellowfin tuna.
John followed up with another strong performance on March 8th catching a nice Amberjack, a 40lbs. Wahoo, and releasing another glorious 100+lbs. Sailfish. Over his final three days he also put a 45lbs. Dorado in the fishbox and lost a few 50lbs. Yellowfin Tunas. Captain Eduardo and the crew did and excellent job of keeping the client on fish and live releasing all the great billfish catches.
Client Submitted Report – March 5th, 2010 client Derek Pouchnik of Viola, Idaho: “We had a great day on the water with William, David and Alex. We drove down to the office on the day before our fishing trip and met Manuel who was very pleasant and made sure we knew where we needed to be the next day.”
“We fished for quite a while with nothing then seemingly out of nowhere ‘fish on’ and we eventually landed a beautiful sail fish (110lbs!). We got some nice photos and let him go. Then probably an hour or so later we picked up a gorgeous Dorado of probably 45-50 pounds! My wife caught that one and that was really what she had dreamed of getting. So, that pretty much made the trip for her.”
“Alex made us up some nice fresh sushi with a bit of wasabi and soy, mmm…..We tried hard to get my sister into a good fish but that was it. We did have I think two other fish in the spread but nothing on the hook. It was a great trip. We were very happy with the crew and the work they did.”
April 2010
In late March Captain Eduardo took the Sailfish to school, raising fourteen of them and getting four all the way to the boat for the release. Watch out fish! Eduardo’s in town. April 7th brought a massive catch for client Tom who fished on board the Nice n’ Tight and released a nice Sailfish in the 80lbs. range. Captain Eduardo then hunted the reefs for some Yellowfin tuna, and Tom was burying the hooks and bending rods to the tune of twenty-five fish! Captain Eduardo made certain that Tom had a great day!
Recently client David Laudon had an incredible half-day trip. In a short time they had boated 10 triggerfish and a nice jack. Captain Vibert knows these inshore reef like none other and is always ready to bring in this kind of solid action!
On March 26th Manuel (Concierge Numero Uno at Nosara Paradise Rentals) and I released a Black marlin, one Sailfish and lost a nice dorado. The marlin was going absolutely crazy, moving from one teaser to the other one and spanking it with his bill. One of the teasers broke clean off of the line. I spent 42 minutes to release this fish, albeit with a few water breaks. This marked the beginning of some great billfish action on the Wanderer in March and April.
May 2010
Captain Eduardo has been fishing like a madman in the last month, and he has theNice n’ Tight back on top of the leaderboard. He’s had a great mix of sunset cruises, nature tours, and flat-out billfish hunting…the common thread? Lots and lots of smiling clients. On April 19th Captain Eduardo welcomed Jacksonville client Van Evans and his girlfriend for the first of two days fishing. Van owns a great little seafood restaurant in Florida and is no stranger to some great looking fish. Their first sunset cruise netted them a nice macarella and a ponpano. A few days later they had another awesome sunset cruise catching a delightful white tuna and a beautiful amberjack.
That same morning clients Crissy, Rich, and Robert caught five nice white tunas in just a few hours fishing. Captain Eduardo knows how to stay on the fish, evidenced by two trips on the same day catching the same species fish. His experience on these waters give him the competitive edge.
April 23rd brought client Catherine Shaller on the Nice n’ Tight for a half day of fishing and snorkeling. She caught two nice dorados over 15lbs and took in some super underwater vistas of our coral reefs.
On April 26th clients Dwayne and Katrina fishing for a half-day on the reefs. They applied our FishingNosara Cuberra Tactic and caught a beautiful 30lbs. Cuberra snapper. They rounded out their day with four sweet whites tunas. The next day client David Caywood went hunting for the big boys.
Unfortunately they didn’t get so big by being easily caught and despite raising up a Sail and a big-time Marlin they couldn’t get ‘em hooked up and to the boat. Client Daniel Fero also had an action packed day on May 4th, albeit with limited results. He got some dinner in the form of a big Yellowfin tuna, but lost a pair a Cadillac-sized snappers on the bottom. Likewise for client Bobby Leesman on May 10th, who fished a full day on came away with a 30lbs. Yellowfin tuna. He also has action throughout the day, but the fish were tough to catch.
June 2010
Captain Vibert welcomed client Fredrick Porcase, his son and Chase Crews out for two action packed days. These clients had spent three days on the Wanderer chasing down billfish, yet chose the Master Captain for their assault on the reefs.
The Cabo did not disappoint! On June 14th the group caught twenty 15-20lbs. Yellowfin tunas and a pair of 12lbs. Yellowtail snappers in the morning. In the afternoon they caught two amazing 40lbs. Rooster fish and a 25lbs. Cuberra Snapper. Then on June 15th the party caught another 40lbs. Rooster fish, four 15lbs. Yellowfin Tunas, and two MASSIVE 50lbs. Amberjacks.
The 31′ Wanderer has built quite a reputation in the six short month she’s been in service as the dominant billfish hunter in the area. This month Captain William and mates Alex and David had some phenomenal billfish releases and also put clients on a wide variety of other fish. One of my best friends Jacksonville angler Chetri Dimitroff was aboard the Wanderer on May 28th and caught his first ever Pacific Blue Marlin. The fight lasted seventeen minutes and ended with a safe live release. Chetri represents FishingNosara at fishing tournaments around Florida; last year he placed in the Kingbuster 400. This trip, Chetri and his posse had an awesome time and caught nice tattooed sunburns.
Jacksonville angler Dennis Dahlquist also had a 300+lbs Marlin release on a late-May trip on the Wanderer; As usual Captain William was on top of his game. I was joined by fellow Jacksonville angler Ray Carter and the lovely Georgia peach Paula Price for a great trip on theWanderer on May 30th. The weather was just about as perfect as could be imagined and the party had a fantastic array of catches.
In total we caught a mean little 20lbs. Wahoo, a 30lbs. Amberjack, a 35lbs. Cuberra snapper and two 12lbs. Yellowfin tuna. The highlight of the trip was a pair of 100+lbs. Sailfish releases. Paula showed her skills on the reel as both fights were under ten minutes and both fish were released.
In June 14th Bryan Russo and his party got on three very nice Yellowfin tunas, and were chowing down on fresh sushi when a 120lbs. Sailfish ripped through the spread. A ten minute fight ensued and the crew safely released the monster fish.
