Captain William always finds fish for his clients. On February 23 he took Chris Graves’ crew offshore looking for meat fish.
They followed a school of spinning porpoises, then snagged a nice pile of Dorados and Yellowfun Tunas from right under their bottlenoses.
Great work by Master Captain William and the flagshipย Wanderer.
Legendary FishingNosara Hall of Famer Dan Johnson is back on the blue water, and on his first trip he brought Moises (son to Capitan Fico) and his friend Anthony on the Wandererย for a fun day offshore.
Multiple Sailfish releases were augmented by a medium-size Dorado.
Great work by these young guns and Dan Johnson.
On the 22nd, angler Chris Graves and his posse elected for the afternoon 5 hour session with Captain Alex on the Harvester.
Despite the short trip, the Sailfish were ready for the fight and came into the spread one after the other.
Not a bad way to spend the afternoon, right?
The Sailfish were fired up in late February, and on the 22nd the Discoverer with angler John O’Brian scored a bunch of nice releases.
Captain Carlos kept the battleship in the fight, while Mate Kevin saw to the safe handling and release of these monsters.
The Discoverer welcomed some ladies from the Yoga Paradise Retreat led by Beverly Brown, Belinda Taylor, and Carla Kemp on February 21.
Several nice Sailfish releases provided great memories for this group.
Also they nagged this excellent Dorado for the dinner table.
Big fish and big smiles is what we love to see!
Fish Tacos anyone?
Our good friend Adam LeMaster has returned to Nosara for another fishing campaign.
This seasoned angler found the Sailfish waiting for him, and the big battleshipย Discoverer reports multiple releases.
With more trips coming this week, it’s good to see that the boys will be well fed thanks to these nice Dorados.
It was a blast to host seven lovely ladies for the Yoga Paradise Retreat in late February.
They enjoyed everything we have to offer: Fishing, Yoga, Massage, Mountain tours, and of course the Pura Vida spirit.ย
Here is a sampling of the photos from their trip:
Captain Alex and the Harvester welcomed angler Brad Watson’s posse for a fun trip offshore on the 19th.
The mega panga rolled into Sailfish City and found the big billfish bristling for battle.
Great work by Mate Wilson to safely handle and release all of these monsters.
Phil Egan’s hot streak continued on February 18. Here is the email he sent us after the trip:
Hey there Craig –
Had another killer day on the 5 hr trip on the Harvester yesterday. 3-4 miles out we had our first sail hooked up – the guys were still setting up and only had the shotgun line in the water.
Went on to go 5 for 7 on sails and 1 for 2 on dorado (24 lbs). That boat is a bad ass fishing machine!
Thanks for 3 great days of fishing. The boats and crews are all top notch. The guys all fish hard and with enthusiasm.
I can’t help but think they’ve all probably caught thousands of sails in their lifetimes, but treat each hookup with the excitement of it being their first.
Until next year!

Virgil Russell and Javier spent a nice morning at the Nosara River Mouth in late February. As usual, Rey Robalo summoned one of his loyal subject to the throne.
