FishingNosara’s Great 2010 Catches
It’s no wonder that FishingNosara is clearly the best choice for Deep Sea Fishing in Costa Rica. Please take a look at the Fishing Techniques our captains utilize FishingNosara and to download the pictures of all these wonderful catches. Here are the highlights from FishingNosara’s Costa Rica Fishing Report:
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.
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
January 22 was a fantastic day on theWanderer with Craig landing a 65+lbs.Cuberra Snapper, a 10lbs. Yellowfin Tuna, and two 10lbs. Black Tunas. In addition they managed to raise five Sailfish. We gotten to the point where we can get these Cuberras pretty much whenever we want.
The next day client Stephen Muller went hunting for offshore fare with Captain Eduardo on the big Sportsman. They quickly landed a small Dorado (25lbs.) and before they could get it on ice another line popped off with a larger Dorado (35lbs.) With the prospect of a full belly that evening, Mr. Muller went hunting for a big billfish. Captain Eduardo and the crew put him right on a 120lbs. Sailfish and Stephen successfully captured and released the big beauty.
On February 8th client Kristen O’Connell booked a three hours sunset cruise and we are happy to report that she caught five nice-sized Black Tunas. Her party also enjoyed swimming around Playa Rosada. Remember that all FishingNosara boats can be used for snorkeling, surfing, and sightseeing trips as well as fishing. On February 10th Kristen Case caught a 12lbs. White Tuna and a 10lbs. Black Tuna on a sunset cruise.
March 2010
On March 10th client Dan Bracec went our for three hours looking for the BIG Cuberra Snappers that lurk deep within the safety of the reefs. He started out catching the requisite Black tuna, then applied our specialized FishingNosara Tactic to hook up the big boys. The fish bit, but he was just too big to fight and escaped back to the depths. These Cuberras can grow up to 400lbs., but once they get bigger than 100lbs. you can forget about catching them. A few days later client Ned Garber got himself a Snapper, but this one was much more reasonably sized.
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.
On March 7th, 8th, and 9th client Jonathan Fanning and his group were on the Wanderer for some very active trips. First they had a nice Sailfish catch and release, then on the second day they caught a pair of Yellowfin tunas and a decent White tuna. All in all they had some fun trips.
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 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
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!
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
One of our favorite clients Ivan de Luca and his son Tomas were on the Cabo for several fun filled days, catching nearly one of every species in the ocean. Unfortunately the biggest Marlin they had hooked up broke the leader right at the boat, but that’s how it goes when fighting the mightiest fish in the sea. From the inshore reefs to offshore trolling, Captain Vibert knows how to get the job done.
The highlight of Captain Eduardo’s month came on May 18th client Michael Coleman and his wife caught a released a HUGE Blue Marlin. It was the first lifetime Marlin catch for both of these clients; once again FishingNosara delivers the fish of a lifetime via the hardest-working man in Garza: Captain Eduardo Carillo.
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.
Recently Renee Taylor and family booked the Wanderer on June 16th and had a magnificent day. They released a 250lbs. Striped Marlin and a 120lbs. Sailfish and a nice Yellowfin tuna to the mix…call this a perfect end to a great month of fishing.
