Rickie Crews has been scoring blue water beasties all week, but on Friday the 13th his group pulled off the very difficult TRIPLE SAILFISH RELEASE.
Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin had their hands full keeping this trio of hunters separated during the battle.
No twists or tangles; all three fish were safely revived and released. Great work by the Discoverer.
Rickie Crews and his posse were back in action on November 11 with the Discoverer reporting more great Sailfish releases.
A nice array of Yellowfin Tuna found their way to the icebox.
The big meat fish of the day with this excellent Dorado.
Yummy!
The Discoverer welcomed back Rickie Crews and his group for a fun fishing campaign.
A nice Sailfish release was backed up a big Dorado.
These guys last joined us in February 2020; gotta love that he was among the last to fish before the pandemic and the first to fish since we’ve re-opened.
Our new friend Jack Beere travelled to Nosara all the way from merry old England, and they acquainted themselves nicely. The highlight of the trip was this MAMMOTH Yellowfin Tuna.
The rods stayed bent as the Discoverer dodged scatted rainshowers while staying on the bite.
These boys brought home a nice variety of Yellowfin Tunas and Dorados.
Great work by the big battleship!
The Discoverer is back in action. On November 2 we welcomed Tracy Anderson’s group for a productive day of offshore fishing.
We got a little bit of rain from an arm or Hurricane Eta, but the seas were accommodating enough to go fishing.
A nice Sailfish release was the highlight of the trip, which also featured some Yellowfin Tuna filets for these hungry anglers.
After eight long months of work, the new house Casa Bianca is complete and ready for your visit.
There are still a few small details (like cushions on the seats and wall art) that are in the process of being completed, but the majority of the project is complete.
Special thanks are due to Marino Lora, our longtime chief mechanic who has revealed that he is also a master woodworker; all of the furniture was built by Mr. Lora on-site, and is far superior to store-bought.
Mike Earnest kicked off our new fishing season with a big fun group from North Central Florida. They enlisted the Harvester and Discoverer for their fishing mission.
This hard-charging Sailfish was the catch of the day, and was released by the mega panga.
Throughout the day they scored multiple Yellowfin Tunas.
Over on the Wanderer, Captain William was itching to get back on the water after the long offseason.
The Master Captain got right down to business with a boat load of Yellowfin Tunas on ice. Here’s a sampling:
Craig finished his three-day campaign on the Harvester with a rod-bending day of action. Our chief mechanic Marino was on the real for this fun Dorado catch.
Later in the afternoon the mega panga hooked up a supercharged Sailfish.
This monster put on a show, but Mate Wilson got the leader and pulled him alongside. The Sailfish spit the hook and escaped safely with the last laugh.
The first day of the season filled the refrigerator with Yellowfin Tuna filets, so on the second day Craig and Javier went hunting for trophy fish.
Javier belted up for the first Sailfish of the day. This crazy beauty was darting back in forth above the water.
After a nice battle she was safely released as always.
Craig was next into the breach and waged an epic battle with a big Blue Marlin.
Dario Hernandez joined his father for this trip and snagged a few sandwich-sized Dorado filets.
This trip was also a training run for Mate Antonio, who most of our clients know as our panga boat driver; he will be assuming the mate’s role on the Explorer this year, and will be training with Captain Alex on the Harvester to continue improving his skills.
After seven lonely months, the 32-foot Harvester is back on the water. It’s been a long road back and we are stoked to get back to action.
Craig Sutton and Antonio were the first anglers up, and they scored multiple Yellowfin Tunas.
They worked over a school of porpoises with live blue runners on the hook, and scored Yella Fellas weighing 54lbs, 35lbs., 30lbs., and 25lbs.
Great work by the team to bring home the bacon!
