2010 Is A Stand-out Year For FishingNosara
It should come as no suprise that FishingNosara is clearly the best choice for Fishing Costa Rica. Please take a look at the Fishing Tactics we have perfected at FishingNosara and to view photos of all these incredible catches. These are just some of the highlights from FishingNosara’s Costa Rica Fishing Report:
January 2010
Captain Vibert had client Michael Zito on board for a half-day fishing on January 12th. The Master Captain negotiated very strong offshore winds and showed the consistency that has made him a local legend. Despite the weather, Captain Vibert still delivered for his clients: Two 30lbs. Dorados and a nice 15lbs. Yellowfin tuna.
January 10th brought Don Dingman, host of TV’s Hook the Future, on board the Wanderer to film an episode. Hook the Future is a show dedicated to teaching youngsters the finer points of fishing, and Don found some lucky kids from the Nosara area to take part. On the Wanderer they caught and released three Sailfish ranging from 80lbs. on up to 110lbs. They also caught five Dorados weighing 40lbs.-60lbs. The next day he fishing along the Nosara river and filmed another episode.
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
On January 25th, 26th, and 27th the Wanderer was honored to welcome Captain Kevin Faver, his wife Carrie, and the crew of The Outdoors Show for a few days of fishing and filming. Kevin and Carrie repeated last year’s success by catching four Dorados and releasing seven Sailfish. Also Kevin released one of the nicest Rooster Fish of the year so far.
February 6th was a day for the staff of Nosara Paradise Rentals to have some fun out on the water. General Manager Javier Hernandez, transporter Comi, and NPR Concierge Numero Uno Manuel took a sunset cruise on the Wanderer and hauled in a whole mess of fish, included a baby Cuberra Snapper…they returned the little fella to the blue water, but even as a youth it fought like a tiger. It’s great to see our wonderful staff have a great day out on the water!
March 2010
The Nice n’ Tight did track down some Black Tunas for clients Carl and John on March 3rd and 6th respectively. The Bite turned on in a big way on March 7th for client John Mysak. He fished five straight days with Captain Eduardo on the Nice n’ Tight and it seems clear that the fish still don’t know what hit ‘em. The best day was the first with a 100+lbs. Sailfish release, a nice White Tuna and a tasty Yellowfin…and that was before lunch! Once they got out to the deep water in the early afternoon the spread was attacked by a 200+lbs. Blue Marlin! Mr. Mysak fought him all the way, never gave up, and set-up the crew to successfully live release the big blue monster. Perfect teamwork, perfect fish.
Captain Eduardo reports that clients Paul and Susan had a HUGE day on the Sportsman on March 17th. They nabbed a few nice Black tunas, a 45lbs. Amberjack, and released two magnificent 130lbs. Sailfish.
Jonathan Temple and his party had a fantastic 3/4 day on the Wanderer on February 27th with lots of good bites and nice fish. The action started fast with six Yellowfin tuna in the fishbox before Noon. Then they caught a 35lbs. Cuberra Snapper and a feisty little Yellowtail snapper. Mr. Temple is a Jacksonville resident, and like all our Northeast Florida guests he knows what to do when the rods start bending. The whole party had a great time and did some great work on the reef!
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!
Captain Vibert Blanche took the brunt of the slow early March, but he has been picking it up in April and has kept steady with some great nature tours. On March 26th Stephanie Kawalik took a great Nature Tour. They saw more than 20 nice dolphins with different colors. Also, they got some pictures of a baleen (that’s Whale in Gringo) and a couple sea turtles.
On April 7th the Grove party was all over the Dorados and then finished their day off strong with a late-afternoon Black Marlin release. Even though the month started off slowly, great crews like the Wanderer’s have the skills to keep clients on fish and fish on hooks. Now that the Marlin have showed up big time, there in no reason not to expect more awesome trips.
May 2010
The Nice n’ Tight stole the spotlight on April 22nd when client William was on board and on the reel for a fantastic 110lbs Sailfish release. As always the crew and Captain Eduardo made it a short fight and the billfish was subdued with precision and released with no harm. Great work by angler, boat and crew!
Captain Eduardo stayed busy with another booking on April 26th with clients Bruce and Dwyane. The rods were bending all day long and the boys came home with a 12lbs. yellowfin tuna, a 15lbs dorado and several black tunas. Great action all day long is what the Nice n’ Tight is all about.
On May 14th Client Mark Padilla from Samarra booked Captain Vibert for a morning trip. The Captain pointed the Cabo towards the offshore reef and begin to tease the bigger fish up from the bottom. First Mate Vibert Jr. and client Mark were jigging the deep water off of the transom, waiting for the first nibble when BOOM!
A big, mean, hard-fightin’ Rooster fish started peeling off line like it was cotton candy and dove straight down. The Captain and crew were patient and let the big fella tire out. They kept up about 3 knots to keep the fish honest and made the slow spiral overhead. The Rooster followed the water column up like a spiral staircase right into the Cabo. Upon release, this Rooster felt to weigh about 45lbs.
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.
