Captain Fico on the Adventurer picked up some nice trips with folks from Captain Sergio’s group on their off days. Check out these beefy Amberjacks pried up by the pocket knife:
The Adventurer also delivered the goods in the form of this 30+lbs. Cubera Snapper:

The hits keep on coming for the plucky Adventurer. Mate Fico took this couple out for a half day and they scored this brilliantly colored Amberjack. Check it out:
Who says you need a big boat to get big fish?
That is a very rare catch for our area and the crew tells me that these are some of the best tasting fish in the ocean. Truly this is a testament to the fish-finding power of the the Adventurer.

The Wanderer stayed inshore withย Gene Pleasants today which presented the perfect opportunity to break in our new custom casting rods from Poseidon Fishing.
We worked closely with Harold Eberhardy of this West Palm Beach, FL rod builder to get the exact specs that fishing in this harsh environment demands. From the all metal butts to the expanded casting eyes, Harold and the boys really hit it out of the park on these rods, even down to the inlaid FishingNosara logo.
Gene’s group put the rods though their paces early and often, especially pulling in this pair of 40lbs. Amberjacks.
Later they caught a fine-looking Horse-eyed Jack, though decided to release it after a quick picture.
Between the big Dorados from January 27 and the Amberjacks from earlier in the day, they figured enough was enough in the meat department.ย

Brandon Leon enlisted the Adventurer for and inshore fish hunt and pulled in some real monsters. The highlight was this monsterous Amberjack. This is the largest AJ ever caught on the Adventurer, but we say all the time “Big fish don’t care how big your boat is!”
They also followed up with a big Yellowfin Tuna and a very nice Cubera Snapper.
Once again Captain Carlos delivers great action for his anglers…fantastic work by the 23-foot pocket knife.

Captain David stayed inside on July 6 with Cara Macksoud and her fellas. Take a look at this nice haul:
The 25lbs. Cubera Snapper definately qualifies as a tasty entree, but don’t overlook the Amberjacks for ceviche and soupa. These folks are spending a few months in the Nosara area and we hope once the refrigerator is empty we see them on the water again.

Randy Powell has the knack for catching big fish as evidenced by this ridiculous 50+lbs. Amberjack caught on July 5. Captain David parked the Explorer right on top of the inshore reef system and this monster inhaled a fresh Bonita chunk.
Good looking day in Garza with some great fish soup on the menu.

Eric Thorne brought his son along on the Wanderer for an inshore fishing trip and this Tallahassee, FL-based angling duo nabbed some nice fish for the dinner table.
The heavy fish was this 25lbs. Amberjack, which unlike their Atlantic Ocean brethren are in fact quite good to eat here on the Pacific coast. Another exciting highlight was this bite-sized Dorado caught by young Mr. Thorne.
Great day of family fishing on the mighty Wanderer for Eric Thorne.

Eric and Amy Anderson are part of our first class of Coastal Conservation Association anglers from North Carolina.
We have been honored to partner with CCA NC this season to send loads of great folks to Nosara from the Tar Heel State, and we look forward to seeing more of y’all real soon.
The fishing was a little slow, but Captain David persevered and delivers some excellent action on three half-days with Eric and Amy. Howabout we let Eric and Amy tell it:
Craig/Matt,
ย
“Wanted to send you both a quick note and let you know that my family and I really enjoyed our trip last week.ย The service your staff provided was fantastic.ย Everything from the airport transfers, the daily breakfast, car service to/from fishing, etc… was top notch.”
“Even though the fishing was a bit slow all week, I enjoyed my three full days with Capt. David on the Explorer.ย He worked hard each day in an attempt to put together something.”ย
I was able to catch my first Rooster, as well as my first Sailfish.ย
Mixed in was a few Mahi, a nice Yellowfin Tuna, a real nice AJ, as well as a number of other species.
ย 
David estimated the rooster at 25lbs., the Sailfish at 90lbs., and the AJ at roughly 45lbs.
ย
Thank you again,
Eric & Amy Anderson

The Wanderer took her reign of supremacy to the inshore reef and reports a wide variety of tasty fare in the fish box for client Ivan and his group. The Penn Spinfisher 7500 was the weapon of choice this trip and First Mate Alex deployed a cloud of fresh Bonita chunks that the bottom fish could not resist.
A small Snapper and an Amberjack were the first casualties and unlike it’s Atlantic brethren these AJs are very good to eat. Not to be out done the ladies got into the fight and conquered an even bigger Snapper. Way to go!
The big score of the trip as far as weight goes is this lovely Broomtail Grouper estimated at 20lbs. This is some of the best-tasting fish in the world and is certainly a treat for these anglers.
Lastly this Rock Snapper is one of the best examples we have seen of such a specimen and believe me it tastes just as good as it looks.
