On the Discoverer, Andrew Mendenhall’s family added to their stocked scorecard with another great Sailfish release.

Andrew and Richard also nabbed dinner with this Dorado and Yellowfin Tuna combo.

We received this note from Andy after the trip:

“Jill’s massive Dorado was an amazing fish in the midst of multiple billfish and other large dorado. Carlos and David, just like William and Elias are very skilled captains and crew. Remarkable humans, as well with close family and histories that go back generations.”

“We have had a truly amazing vacation, the first one for my father, sister and I- together in 35 years. All of the boat crews, the staff, Eduardo and family have all been amazing hosts. We are grateful!”

“We are definitely going to book a time in later March or April of ‘24 and will hopefully have a group of about 8-12 for lodging and fishing.”

“Jill will reach out to Bob and I know you are going to love to learn more about her vision and history of fishing in Minnesota!”

Best,
Andy

On November 29, Jon Paetkau had a great day with the Explorer.

 

 

Here is Jon’s account in his own words: “My wife and I had the most incredible experience with Fishing Nosara. The booking was easy, the captain was friendly and knowledgeable, and the deck hand was equally friendly and knowledgeable and his English was amazing.”

“We had non stop action on mahi mahi, got a very large sailfish and two large yellow fin tuna. Couldn’t of asked for a more productive day on the water and a very good company to fish with, I’ll be back for sure!”

Matthew Jordan finished his run of awesome trips on November 13. Big Dorados filled up the scorecard during the bulk of the trip.

In the afternoon they moved inshore and scored a monster Amberjack.

“Awesome charter operation- The boat was rock solid, captain and mate were very knowledgeable, and the gear was top notch,” wrote Matthew in his review. “The lunches served on the boat were fantastic. The captain wasn’t afraid to make long runs to find the fish. We tore up mahi, tuna and AJ’s. Epic 3 days of fishing on the Wanderer!”

Master Captain William took the Wanderer out on October 4 and lit up the scoreboard with an awesome Blue Marlin release.

After the safe release, Paul Norris’ group also brought home the bacon with some excellent Yellowfin Tunas.

 

Here is what Paul had to say after the trip: “Great day fishing! 1st Marlin, 1st Sailfish, then we caught 4 yellowfin tuna and 4 Dorado (mahi mahi).

“I can’t thank Daradee Olson enough for being a trooper and falling in love with my passion for fishing. She killed it!”

The big battleship Discoverer scored a few nice Yellowfin Tunas on the 16th with angler John Barry.

Here’s what John had to say after the trip: “We had a fantastic trip these guys are true professionals – I brought my mom along with me who did not want to fish and they communicated with me before and after the trip to ensure she had a good time. She had a fanatics time, even ended up in the battle chair fighting a tuna I bet I could even get her to get out again. We caught a bunch of Yellowfin + fought a sailfish we just lost.”

The Harvester and Virgil Russell’s family enjoyed some catching on July 5 with this excellent Yellowfin Tuna.

From Virgil via email:

I wanted to say that we had an exceptional time. We killed the tuna and both my kids got to land a tuna from the chair on the Harvester. 

I really appreciate the effort from the crews who took time to accommodate young children and made the trip awesome.

Great report from Heidi and Jim O’Calligan:

It was pouring rain this morning when we got up and it certainly looked like today was going to be a total washout. After a 2 hour delay, the rain stopped and it didn’t rain on us again for the rest of the day.

Turned out to be an outstanding day with Captain Antonio and Mate Fito!!!!  We got 5 yellowfin tuna from 30 to 35 pounds. Jim got the biggest. I got 3, two of which were at least 30. Those were a lot of fun.

And, check out the size of the head of this sailfish that Jim caught. Captain estimated it was  150 pounds. I caught one about a 120..   They were the biggest sailfish either of us have ever caught. And they both gave us a very good fight!

We got video of everything!!  We are spent to say the least!! What an amazing day that started out looking like it was going to be a washout!!!!

We kept 2 bags of tuna for dinner, gave one bag to the mommy who lives in the house on the beach  and the rest went to Antonio and Fito and their families.. Again, what an amazing day what an amazing day this turned out to be!!!!!

“David was amazing and was determined to catch fish, very clean and had a delightful lunch. Highly recommend.”
