Bobby Wilkeson nabbed a gargantuan Cubera Snapper on the 13th on board the mighty flagship Wanderer.
Recent onshore rains have swelled the inshore reefs with cool water washing down the mountains, and it seems to have significantly improved the inshore bite.
FishingNosara Hall of Famer TJ Conrads returned to Nosara with his wife Robin along with Kevin and Karen Bahr. They chose the Wanderer and scored a boatload of sweet fish filets.
Captain William located a massive school of spinning porpoises and the fish were excited to escape the cetaceans…right into the flagship’s fishbox!
In all they scored six Yellowfin Tuna averaging 20lbs., three small Dorado and a nice 20lbs. Dorado.
Here is what Kevin posted on Facebook: “We went with Captain William and his assistant,
South Carolina angler Marty Stevens had a big day of Dorado scores on May 12 with Captain Carlos.
The Harvester had a perfect day of inshore / offshore combo action, starting with a wonderful Rooster fish released inshore:
Then Captain Alex moved offshore to stalk the recently abundant Yellowfin Tunas with great success:
The Discoverer scored again with a nice big Sailfish released by client Jodi Wilkeson.
Pretty sweet!
Kip and Diane Warner had a big day on the Wanderer punctuated with a couple of fantastic Sailfish releases.
Diane wrote us an email: “All your Staff was the Best they could be! What a Great Company! Thank you All so much making our vacation Awesome!!!”
The billfish releases were certainly highlights, however throughout the day the flagship also scored a half-dozen small Dorados, leading to a full fishbox of filets:
As the month continued our area was beset by gigantic meat fish.
Fighting these guys on Penn spinning tackle is a world of fun, and the filets are top-notch.
After this Yellowfin Tuna score, the Harvester dug in on one of the biggest Bull Dorados of the year to date.
This hatchet-headed monster was no match for the mega panga!
Master of the river mouth, Javier ‘Rey Robalo’ Hernandez scored this incredible Snook in mid-May.
What a fantastic catch!
Captain David and his unstoppable 23-foot Adventurer scored another unexpected Sailfish release:
Will these incredible results every end? Not if mighty Captain David is at the controls!
The Wanderer welcomed Jason Matherne’s group and over a two-day span they put a hurting on the local Sailfish. Joined by Ed and Pat Harrington, this “Cajun Crew” could not be stopped
Looks like everyone got a shot at their own behemoth.
Nice fish-handling by Mate Johnson to see all these billfish safely released.
In addition to these monster trophy fish releases, the flagship also nabbed some straggling Dorados.
Here is what Patrick had to say in an email:
“Please pass on to everyone behind the scenes our thanks and gratitude. We (the husbands) had a killer time fishing with both Capt. William & Capt. Carlos … you too, Antonio! We look forward to another trip (the husbands) in the future.”
PURA VIDA!!!
