The Discoverer stayed inshore with Jimmy Jones on February 1 and scored a bucket-list grade Rooster Fish:
A great catch that was safe released by Mate Juan Carlos. The bite stayed strong and yielded several pan-sized Yellowfin Tunas.
Sushi, anyone?

The Explorer welcomed Ohio anglers Kevin and Mary Ann Dineen for a landmark day of fish harvesting.
This foursome of fishermen got down to business quickly, with each party member scoring a Dorado early in the trip.
Then the monster Dorado came calling!
After this wad of Mahi-Mahi’s on ice, it’s easy to think that the Explorer would call it a day…but that ain’t how the barroom brawler gets down!
The final fish of the day was a MASSIVE Wahoo:
I think we need a bigger cooler…Amazing that this monster’s tail is almost still in the water!
Easily the biggest Wahoo of the year, this monster might weigh north of 70lbs.
Sheesh, the picture weighs 5 pounds!
Great work by the unstoppable Explorer!

Captain David on the Discoverer has been on a tear all month. Along with trusty Mate Juan Carlos the new battleship has scored victories on a wide array of Marlin and Sailfish. plus added lots of good eating fish for the filet bag.
This Marlin was a feisty fighter, clean released as usual by Mate Juan Carlos. The Sailfish have been coming into the spread in droves and Captain David has capitalized big time.
Finally, check out the girth on these Dorados and the numbers of these Tunas:
Great work by Captain David!

The Discoverer and client Amy Hamrick braved high winds to get out to Sailfish City on the 26th.
Captain David was fearless in the face of the gale and Amy scored this beautiful Sailfish release.
Great fish-handling by Mate Juan Carlos was the perfect finish to a challenging day on the water.

We got a great note from Becky once she got back to Florida:
“Cant wait to tell you all about the trip. William and Alex will always be number one to us…..just way too much fun in a week!! We finally captured the elusive rooster fish, the morning Andy was on his way to the airport….laughed about that!”
“Have some great underwater shots we took with the gopro too! Total count for the week is 21 sails released (could have been more, but we targeted Marlin our last day with four teasers and one big lure…..no Marlin but no worries…….too much fun trying!)”
“The second day we fished and released 10 sails (once again, if we wanted more it would have been no problem, but we wanted to enjoy one fish at a time because Alexa and Crystian had never done it). We did reel up a double with Andy and Minton because we could! Best family vacation ever!”

Becky and the boys stayed on target with more Sailfish releases and Dorado action on January 22.
They have really found a groove this week and these consistent scores really speak to the quality of the Captain, Mate, and Anglers all working together.
Becky has one more trip planned this week so let’s hope they can keep their red-hot streak alive!

The Explorer delivered the goods for client Colin Pisano with a whole refrigerator full of fresh filets.
They snagged four Dorados (20lbs.-25lbs.) plus scored a quartet of White Tunas.
Dinner’s on!

It’s no secret that Nosara enjoys the closest proximity to the blue water in all of Costa Rica.
It may surprise you to learn that our specific stretch of ocean is so fertile and untouched that (when the money is on the line) million-dollar sportfishing teams make the trek from Los Suenos to try to score in our backyard.
So it turns out that this week is the Los Sueños Signature Triple Crown and look what turned up:
In just this one picture there are 13 other boats:
Think that all this competition would mean tough times for the flagship Wanderer?
Think again!
The Hogan Family scored like they were the only boat on the water, boasting multiple Sailfish releases backed up by big Dorados.
Got to admit it’s pretty cool watching Captain William and First Mate Alex fish circles around these so-called pros…just cause you got a big boat and money to burn doesn’t mean your a master!
