The Captains, crew, and staff of FishingNosara
On April 22, Texas angler Cory Delz family a fantastic day of blue water. The highlight is nice lovely Striped Marlin release:
They backed it up with multiple Sailfish releases.
For the dinner table they added a nice tasting Dorado.
Our dear old friend Manny Campos scored an awesome pile of Yellowfin Tuna filets with theย Adventurer on April 22.
Adam Weiss scored a sweet Striped Marlin on the big battleship during his April 21st trip.
On April 19 theย Wanderer welcomed angler Mike Ascherl for a fun day of super Sailfish releases.
The best boats in the area gathered in Playa Gaza for the annual Ship of Fools Tournament from April 12-13, 2024.
Fishing was slowing leading up to the tournament, with overcast skies limited Sailfish strikes to just a few chances per day. However on tournament day the skies cleared and the temperature rose, leading to productive outings on the leaderboard.
All five FishingNosara boats were in the field of 13 boats.
Theย Adventurer was crewed by Nosara Paradise Rentals staff and they scored a great Sailfish release and backed-it up with some tasty (thought non-scoring) meat fish.
Theย Explorer found one nice Sailfish release on day one:
Returning FishingNosara Hall of Famer Sloan Rogers and his boys from North Carolina had a great weekend of scoring on the mega panga Harvester.
On the big battleship Discoverer, Craig Sutton was joined by Matty and Bridget Jorn for a six Sailfish performance.
Craig also scored this 88+lbs. Yellowfin Tuna which was sufficient to win the Calcutta.
The top team boat was theย Wanderer with Florida anglers Steve Dziadul and Greg Scott getting on the podium with a wonderful third place finish.
As always there was a great party in Garza to commemorate the event, and we can’t wait to get back to it next year.
Mid-Tournament Team Dinner:
On April 18, theย Discoverer welcomed angler Cory Delz for a super Sailfish release.
They also nagged a big Wahoo for the dinner table.
The Harvesterย posted a fantastic scorecard on April 18 with a bunch of Sailfish releases.
Yellowfin Tunas and Dorados were caught for the dinner table.
Nice to see Captain Fito of theย Adventurer pitching in at the Mate position.
Danny Baker and Manny Campos returned to the Adventurer for a fun day of Sailfish releases on April 17.
Time for an ice-cold Pipa Frio break!
Theย Wanderer continued to post excellent results on April 16
After a fun day of Yellowfin Tuna catching, they emptied out the cooler in Garza Bay, much to the delight of this hungry Turtle.
Captain Antonio and Mate Raffa were back on the water April 16, and theย Explorer nabbed a sweet Sailfish release backed up with a tasty Yellowfin Tuna.
