Larry Komenda and Misti Nolan and Ken Russell were back in action on the 14th and they once again threw down the gauntlet with some big mean Pacific Sailfish.
The action was hectic all morning, with four more releases added to the scorecard.

Captain Sergio Atanes assembled a large group from the Tampa, FL area for an all-inclusive week of fishing, safari tours, and big family fun!
After getting settled at Nosara Paradise Rentals, the posse enjoyed dinner at the variety of restuarants in Playa Guiones.
Throughout the week the fishing was on full-bore!
They ended up with 49 Sailfish releases through the course of the week, but there was more going on than just fishing; they also plied the waters of the Rio Nosara via Kayak.
As always the highlight of their experience was the Horseback Mountain tour featuring a tour of the Hernandez family farm.
The food alone is worth the ride, and of course the Pura Vida hospitality was in full effect from Sra. Hernandez.
After a full week of excitement, they closed out their time with Beers at sunset at Playa Guiones.
What a great group! If you want to book a similar trip, check out our Large Group Package page for all the details.

Larry Komenda and Misti Nolan and Ken and Brenda Russell hail from upstate New York and we were stoked to get them some much needed fun in the sun. Their last trip to Costa Rica was during our legendary late-August bite and saw them scored a single-day record of Marlin releases on the Explorer
This time the mighty Wanderer also treated them to multiple trophy fish releases. They started the day inshore with a hefty Rooster Fish release:
Then Captain William headed off-shore and got them out in front of a pack of hungry Sailfish.
The Sailfish were starving for bait and First Mate Alex was more than happy to feed them some fat ballyhoo with a side of 9/0 circle hooks!
Everyone on board got a release and it was all big smiles for the Russell group.

The Explorer has been torching it the last few weeks, highlighted with tons of Sailfish released.
Captain Carlos has his thumb on the map where Sailfish City lies, but trust me he knows the way very well.
Mate Kevin is really starting to distinguish himself has an excellent fisherman and fish-handler.
All these beasts were safe releases as always.
It’s not all just trophy fish on the Explorer…check out some of these filets for the frigerator:

Captain Fico scored again for his clients on March 11, with a handful of White Tunas on ice. These little morsels yield a dense white meat that is perfect for sushi, filets, and ceviche.

Jacksonville’s own Hank Duckworth joined the mighty Wanderer for a half day trip, and like all our Northeast Florida anglers he tore it up on the formerly Mayport-flagged vessel.
They started off inshore with this excellent Amberjack:
Then Captain William headed to Sailfish City and Hank was ready to crank in a monster:
They added two more Sailfish near the end of the five hour trip.
Safe releases by First Mate Alex was the perfect end to a great trip for Hank Duckworth.

The Wanderer posted a great all around day on March 9 with some early Sailfish action off-shore.
All quickly caught and safely returned by First Mate Alex.

The Discoverer delivered the goods for Sergio’s Costa Rica Adventurers Loren and Viv Keen, James and Christie Lawson, and Frank and Susan Kinsinger.
After some early morning Sailfish releases, they scored a big hit with this Double Sailfish Release:
Great work by the big battleship Discoverer.
