David Uhl and his boys got their week of Extreme Panga Fishing underway on the 23-foot Adventurer.
The inshore action was strong, yielding White Tuna, a small Dorado, and a beefy Yellowfin Tuna.
Nice work boys!

Ahhh…the easy life of a charter boat Captain. Nothing but fun in the sun with cold beer, big fish, and cute ladies, right?
Sounds good in theory, but in practice these guys have one of the toughest jobs around. It’s especially tough when you have to get your hook back from this guy:
Captain Carlos still has all ten fingers, so we’re guessing that this de-hook went without incident and the “little” shark was released.
Pretty fish, though.

The First Family of FishingNosara hit the water on July 1 for an excellent day of action with Captain William and First Mate Alex. Daniel Shields and his sister Brooke Shields are the children of FishingNosara’s only Lifetime Hall of Famer, the venerable Richmond Phipps, and they were joined by their cousin Tim Anderson and Dan’s wife Maria Yetty on the flagship Wanderer.
The highlight of the day’s action was this excellent Rooster fish releases, estimated by First Mate Alex to weigh 50lbs. A little rain didn’t stop these tough anglers
Excellent catch by our great friends!
River Fishing Report – July 2014
Javier led the way with several nice snook, with the big one weighing 33 lbs. :
Javier wasn’t the only one finding success at the River Mouth.
Chimpy scored big fish all month as usual…this guy can catch some Snook!
Manuel also checked in at the River Mouth this month with some rocking Robalos!
An excellent pair of Snook were caught by Victor Matarrita:
However the best snook of the month was snared by Abraham Pigo Aguero Mora:
But also let’s not forget this nice Snapper caught by Erika Montiel Noguera:

The Adventurer welcomed Stuart Scott and his fiancee for a productive half-day of Extreme Panga Fishing. The strikes came in pairs, with a duo of Yellowfin Tuna backed up by twin Yellowtail Snappers.
Another day of great action from the 23-foot straight razor.

Mike LaRocca and his friends tore the fish out of the water with the 23-foot pocket knife Adventurer.
Each of these three folks nabbed a Yellowfin Tuna, so there should be plenty of filets and sushi to go around.
Great work by the switchblade.

Javier scored a HUGE Snook today at the Nosara River Mouth! Estimated at just over 30lbs., this is one of the biggest lunkers of the season so far for the Fuppernos.
The whole beach stopped what they were doing to get a picture with the behemoth.
Great work by Javier (aka Rey Robalo) on this fantastic catch!

Boca Raton’s own Jim Baldwin signed up for 6.5 hours on the Adventurer and his investment of time was paid dividends of filets.
The hits came hard all day long, with the size of this Dorado and these Yellowfin rivaling the catches on the big boats.
We’ve said it a thousand times, but the big fish don’t care if you have a big boat…great work by the 23-foot switchblade.

Captain David’s rampaging ways have continued this week on the Discoverer. The hits have come in fast moving waves, like this pair of wonderful Sailfish releases.
The new battleship also picked up a pair of Rooster fish which were released as usual.
Great work by Captain David!

Steve Mullen is a tough-as-nails angler from Atlantic Beach, FL and a lifelong friend of Craig, even once serving as First Mate on the legendary Fishtastic.
One year Craig and Steve fished 15 major tournaments, so it’s no surprise that Steve signed up for 5 straight days of fishing in Costa Rica.
At long last he and his family have made it down to Nosara and they blistered a wide variety of inshore species with Captain Carlos on the barroom brawlin’ Explorer.
Yellowfin Tunas were abundant as well as an array of Rock Snappers, but the highlight was this monster Rainbow Runner:
The IGFA World Record for this species is 37 lbs. 9 oz., caught back in 1991 by angler Tom Pfleger…all I can say is good for Tom that we don’t have and IGFA approved scale down here!
Captain Carlos also coaxed in the first Congrio of the season (left):
This oddball combination of eel and fish yields a Lobster-like filet that is arguably the best tasting thing to come out of the ocean.
This crew had a blast and we can’t wait to see them again!
