We welcomed a big fun group of folks from our hometown of Jacksonville, FL and they scored some great inshore lunkers aboard the Wanderer.

Henry Starling, Rick Tullis, Richard Hosey, and Mike Glenn brought their families along for this inshore conquest and it is safe to say that all mouths were fed by these excellent Cubera Snappers.

They also added a pair of trophy releases in the form of these excellent Rooster Fish:

Great work by this posse of North Florida anglers!

Now there is no way to top a quadruple Marlin day, so the dynamic duo of Chris Escabedo and Will Havens decided to focus on the refrigerator on their May 10 trip.

The highlight of their haul with this fat 20lbs. Cubera Snapper, plus they backed it up with a handful of small Jacks and small Tuna.

The Discoverer beats the heat with a icebox full of meat!

Captain William stayed inshore on a morning half day trip with Scott and Adam Greiner.

The ladies stole the show with some early action on the planer / spoon rig; these Jack Crevalles aren’t great eating fish on their own but these catches were the first stirrings of a feeding frenzy that would see a bunch of tasty White Tunas on the sushi platter.

Our custom Poseidon fishing rods have performed excellently paired with Penn 7500 and 5500 spinners.

White Tuna are amazing on the sushi plate or in the frying pan, and it looks like a good fish fry is going down tonight at the Greiners’ place.

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

Graham Mehain and his group stayed inshore for their trip on the Wanderer and were rewarded with a healthy bounty of great tasting filets. This Yellowtail is certainly the highlight of their haul:

They then followed up with a beefy Jack Crevelle.

The ladies set the bar pretty high, but Graham made a good account of himself with this day-ending Dorado.

Excellent inshore hunting by the mighty flagship.

Samantha Rady braved the blue water onboard Garza’s ulimate prize fighter the Explorer. Captain David was on his game and hooked this NYC angler with not one but TWO elusive Rooster Fish!

They warmed up earlier in the trip on some Jack Crevalles before pursing the trophy fish.

Of course both Roosters were released and we look forward to them pecking at our baits again really soon.

Client Michael and his lady joined the famous Wanderer crew for a 2.5 hour sunset cruise on April 1. The always-reliable planer / spoon rig reported a strike as this couple was enjoying the pleasant surroundings and a pair of Jack Crevelle ended up in the fishbox.

Sunset cruises are a great way to get a taste of Costa Rican sportfishing without committing to a whole day on the water, and when you are on the flagship youย  can rest easy that somthing fishy will end up on the hooks.
