Jason Hastings and his pal spent the morning on the switchblade Adventurer and pulled in a few white tunas for a breakfast snack.
These may not be scale-tipping monsters, but they all look good on the plate with butter and garlic! Nice work by the fish-catching Captain Carlos and the unstoppable Adventurer.
Maikel Cotton’s group exploded onto the scene on the mighty Wanderer with a Striped Marlin release backed up by several Sailfish and a few Dorados for good measure.
This Stripey was the highlight of the trip and is estimated by First Mate Alex to weigh in around 250lbs.
Captain William has the map to Sailfish City and once again put his clients right on top of a swarm of super Sailfish.
Dorado filets round out this trip for these fun-loving clients!
Great work all around by Captain William and First Mate Alex, the Kings of Garza Bay!
Excellent day of Dorado action for Irene and Bruce Page on the Wanderer.
The green monsters came in at a steady pace and the whole group got a change to master these Mahi Mahi.
Some people think that First Mate Alex has to best gig in town, but it’s not all smiling in the photos with world class fish…guess who got to release this accidental Shark by-catch?
The action at the mouth of the Rio Nosara has been off the great this month.
Local angler Carl Wells showed his stuff with some excellent catches of Snook and Permit:
Also local legend Chimpy snared a MASSIVE Cuberra Snapper in the surf:
Local man Yahaira Jimenez also shared some of his big action:
Read more and get involved with the cause by visiting the Fuppernos Facebook page and do your part…if you are in town visiting for a few days why not give back to the Nosara community by pitching in on a river clean-up?
Sheila and Eric Wollam brought their family down to Nosara and took advantage of the great fishing action this week. These Texas anglers put on a show with two Sailfish releases and two big Dorados for the dinner table.
It’s great to see a family enjoying their time on the water and reminds us of what fishing is really all about.
Excellent job by the mighty flagship Wanderer and the Wollam family.
Kirk Sandifer and his group enlisted the flagship Wanderer for a morning half day, and they had a brilliant day of blue water fishing. The action started early with a nice trio of Sailfish releases early in the day.
The action intensified when a mammoth Blue Marlin flew through the spread and was expertly hooked by First Mate Alex.
This fight was on, but this monster was no match for Art and the boys.
First Mate Alex turned this Marlin loose, but the Sailfish bite stayed hot yielding another pair of excellent releases.
The walk off shot was the release of ANOTHER big Blue Marlin!
This beast is by far the largest Marlin of the season so far and is truly the fish of a lifetime.
Masterful work by the legendary duo of Captain William and First Mate Alex of the famous Wanderer.
Two Marlins and four Sails on a 5hr. trip? That is the stuff of legend!
“We had a great trip in Nosara, I only wished we could have fished more. The one day with Captain William and Alex, we released 5 sails and 1 blue Marlin.”
“As I was hoping for, my son who just celebrated his nineteenth birthday caught his first bill fish; 1 sail at 9:30 AM and a blue at 11AM.”
“Great day with your team Alex is a beast and William landed us on the bills. They work so good together we just decided to stay out of their way.”
“Our hook up ratio was strong, something like 6 for 9 strikes.”
Tilford Smith and his boys had a big time on board the Wanderer with reports of big Dorados, bigger Sailfish, and the super-big-time Double Sailfish Release!
Mr. Smith got things off to a quick start with this Sailfish release (above), then the boys got down to business.
Captain William has a sixth sense with Sailfish and the mighty Wanderer was on her game this day!
They each released a Sailfish, then the magical double strike occurred just after 1pm.
Safe releases all around by the incomparable First Mate Alex.
They also boated a pair of nice Dorados for the dinner table, illustrating that the Wanderer is truly the best all-around vessel in Garza Bay.
Corey Gammill is the latest Connecticut angler to try his hand on our blue water, and Captain Carlos and the fearless Adventurer showed him a great time. Check out this beefcake Dorado they put on ice.
This was the highlight of Corey’s five hour trip which also included some small Snappers and Bonitas.
The Adventurer welcomed Sue Battis and her group today and got a nice bit of good-eatin’ fish.
This big Dorado is the scale-tipper of the day, but the smaller Wahoo caught later in the trip is probably the best tasting; when they are in the 10-30lbs. range is when silver bullets yield the best meat.
Nice job by Captain Carlos and the 23-foot switchblade.
