Neil and his group spent 2.5hr. with Captain William on the Wanderer starting at the crack of 7am. They ended up with more delicious filets on ice before noon then most people get in a week.

This Congrio was one of three that the Wanderer put on ice. They followed that with the largest Red Grouper of the season…take a look at this hog:

These Red Groupers have been in the area since the last full moon and we’ll see if they stick around as the full moon nears. Great morning for the FishingNosara flagship Wanderer!

Thompson Rains come to Nosara as a result of winning the Ancient City Kingfish Tournament raffle last Spring. The whole family is in town and they have already had some excellent action around Garza.

On February 20 they joined Captain William on the Wanderer for an offshore billfish hunt and we are happy to report that they released two amazing Pacific Sailfish.

The first came around 12:30pm and hit the spread very aggressively. A quick fight followed and this beauty was set free after just 20 minutes.

The second sail blasted through he blue water around 2:30 and was released at 3pm. Fantastic day by some Florida anglers who know how to handle the blue water beasties. Excellent work by Captain William, First Mate Alex and the whole Rains group.

John Higgins and his fellow Vermonters returned to the shores of Garza for another adventure with Captain David of the Explorer

The highlight of the feast was a pair of Groupers estimated to weigh 30lbs. The also had a big Marlin coming calling but the monster spit out the hook before it could be set. Still, plenty of filets in the cooler and lots of fun for this great group of Green Mountaineers.

Dennis Seltsam joined Captain David on the Explorer, and after a fantastic Marlin release on the Wanderer Mr. Seltsam was ready to stay inshore and hunt reef monsters. The highlight of the excursion was this gorgeous Rooster fish:

These Kentucky anglers backed up the Rooster release with an assortment of Congrios which have certainly been around in droves recently. Great all around fishing perfomance by Dennis Seltsam and the invincible Explorer!

Our new friends William Bronner and his daughter Jessica are in Nosara for a week of relaxing, travelling, and of course some big time fishing! They were on the Wanderer with Captain William and pulled a MASSIVE Dorado estimated to weigh well over 60lbs.

Now that’s a heck of fish, but the way they caught it really stands out as something unique. Notice anything weird about this picture?

Look closer:

This monster moved through the spread so quickly that he gulped down a second rigged ballyhoo before the hook was set from the first bait! With twice the leverage and the hooksets this beast came home with little effort.

Very unique accomplishment for the Bronners who have more fishing scheduled this week. Stay tuned!

Captain Eduardo and his big battle wagon Sportsman played host to Mr. Neil Sawyer and his group for a great day on the water. They caught 6 Red Groupers, two Rooster fish, and a pair of Congrios.

Offshore or inshore, Captain Eduardo keeps his clients on the fish!

Suzanne McDowell and her group had an excellent afternoon on the water with Captain David and they have the fridge full of fish filets to prove it. The unstoppable Explorer stayed inshore and they racked several large Congrios and an assortment of smaller snappers.

Fantastic work by these Vermonters and Captain David on an outstanding trip!

Waynes and Elaine Estes followed up their historic four Striped Marlin day with a very productive day of inshore reef harvesting. The Red Groupers were packing in thick and could not resist the topwater casted Williams Jet Popper.

‘El Popper’ could not be stopped as the Estes put on a fish catching clinic.
