David Schwertner and his posse had a magnificent day on the super panga on July 28.
The bill collectors swarmed the legendary Explorer as Captain David on the helm and Captain Carlos in the cockpit bringing their substantial experience to bear on these brutal billfish:

The hits keep coming for the Explorer. Check out these excellent Yella Fellas:
Great work by the Super Panga!
Glenn Wootton and his family had a lights-out performance on the mighty Wanderer on July 26. These South Florida anglers started out with a fantastic Marlin release:
Here are some pictures that Glenn sent along with the following message:
“The first picture is me after 10 minutes; the last one is a half hour
later. He kicked my ass “
The Wanderer boated a trio of nice Sailfish to follow up on their earlier Marlin score.
For their final trick, Glenn’s posse nabbed some tasty Wahoo for the dinner table. Excellent work ladies!
Great work by the incomparable Captain William and First Mate Alex on a day with safe billfish releases and dinner in the fishbox.
The Explorer is absoulutely on fire this month! On July 25 she relased a Marlin and a Sailfish, plus mopped up on Yellowfin Tuna and the suddenly-abundant Wahoo!
The billfish were released early in the trip, leaving the rest of the day open for fridge-filling.
That’s some incredibly well-rounded fishing from the most powerful panga in the bay. Great work by Captain David and Mate Kevin on this excellent day!
Big news from the Adventurer! The little boat that no one saw coming just racked her first Wahoo. One of the hardest-fighting and elusive non-billfish species in our area, these silver bullets were caught by none other than newly-minted FishingNosara Hall of Famer Travis Picariello.
Why settle for one when you can have two?
This excellent performance underscores what we have always said down here: right boat + right tackle + right Captain = Great results for our clients. Wonderful day by Travis Picariello and the unstoppable Captain Carlos.
On July 24 Captain William acclimated these two young anglers to the local Sailfish scene, as each of them scored a Pacific Sailfish release.
No matter your level of fishing expertise, the Wanderer and her crew have the tools, talent, and teaching skill to get you on the fish of a lifetime.

Travis Picariello is a good old boy from New Jersey who we had the pleasure of meeting at a fishing show in Suffern, NY. With a lot of pleading and begging his parents allowed him and his cousin to visit us in Nosara, and clearly these fellas had some aces up their sleeves from the word ‘go’
Captain David took the Explorer to the blue water and they released a fantastic Marlin followed up by a big Sailfish.
Travis went ahead and picked up dinner in the form of this tasty 15lbs. Tuna and a big Dorado. Great start to the week for the Picariello boys.
Rolando Rodriguez hails from the hard-fishing town of Tampa, FL and came to Nosara primarily to hunt the monster Snook that live in the Nosara River. However the siren’s call of the nearby blue water could not be denied as Mr. Rodriguez booked the Explorer during his brief visit to the area.
Hello! This Pacific Sailfish is a total monster and Rolando was stoked beyond belief to releases this exquisite pelagic.
Great work by Captain Carlos and Captain David…when this much experience is on the boat the fish better watch out!
Nathaniel Krauthammer took to the Explorer with his lady and within two hours they had released ‘His and hers’ Pacific Sailfish. This first beauty came calling at noon:
The second fish was nearly identical in size and was released just after 1pm.
Great fish-handling by Mate Kevin and outstanding hunting by the crafty Captain David!
People often ask us if they should go offshore or stay inshore, and we give them the answer that all anglers love: Both!
Peter Karpinski booked the legendary Explorer and got all he could handle both offshore in the blue water and inshore where the meat fish like to school up. He started the day with two excellent Sailfish releases as the first fish came blasting through the spread around noon
Excellent release by Mate Kevin to ensure the safety of both fish and angler. On the next fish Peter was feeling a little brave and decided to bill the fish himself…not quite as easy as Mate Kevin makes it look, huh?
With the trophy fish released, Captain David pointed the Explorer inshore and Peter had a field day on nice-sized Yellowfin Tunas. Take a look at this trio of tasty treats:
Excellent work from the powerful Super Panga and by angler Peter Karpinski!
