After two successful fishing days on the Adventurer, Harris Savin has developed a knack for knocking down big fish.

On February 13 he was joined by his buddy Patrick McGoey on the flagship Wandererย and they put on a whirlwind fishing display that saw five Sailfish releases, plus a pair of Dorado on ice.

The Sailfish were in an acrobatic mood today, with lots of great above-the-water action.

The pair of Dorados are certainly a sweet treat, with the big daddy weighing in at 45lbs.

Great hunting by Captain William and excellent fish handling by First Mate Alex made this a day to remember for the mighty Wanderer.

Ryan Harrington and Mackenzie Ruhnke came to Costa Rica to tie the knot, but these honeymooners found out that tied to the end of their knot was this 400+ Marlin:

Captain David cut down the angles on the high-flying beast while Ryan put tighten the the screws on her.

Mate Kevin kept this monster under control, and saw to a picture-perfect Marlin release.

Later in the day they scored a few Sailfish releases to round out the trip.

Great times on the Explorer for the new bride and groom!

Harris Savin returned to the Adventurer for another solo mission deep behind the enemy lines of the local blue water fish population.

They targeted trolling species and were rewarded with this whopping 30+ lbs. Wahoo.

Captain Carlos and Harris polished off the sushi just in time to add three tasty White Tunas to the fishbox.

They added a big Dorado to their collected later in the trip, bringing to a close another great fishin’ mission!

The Wanderer stayed inshore today as client David Schwertner had his sights set on big bottom fish. He is already in the FishingNosara Hall of Fame for some legendary catches on the Explorer late last summer, and he may just get in again based on this amazing catch:

Our new Poseidon rods were designed to withstand some big fishing action, and it is clear to say they passed this test:

That is one mammoth of a Cubera Snapper, even by our standards!

Add this monster to this nice little Broomtail grouper that he nabbed earlier in the trip and you got the receipe for lots of good-eatin’ for David Schwertner

The Wanderer put on a fishing clinic with client Gordon Nielsen on February 11. Captain William deployed the tried-and-true tactic of following feeding porpoises to the perfect spot.

These spinning porpoises led the way to the blue water break where the Sailfish were ready for battle.

The first releases featured some high-flyers, but Captain Williams deft boat-handling combined with First Mate Alex’s masterful fish-handling spelled trouble for these Sailfish.

Around lunchtime Gordon and the boys put a trio of Dorados on ice…always nice to add some filets to your photographs!

The Sailfish bite fired back up in the afternoon with another pair of fired-up releases.

Great work by Gordan Nielsen on board the baddest boat in the bay!

Client Louis Quevillin and his boys booked the Explorer for a brief 2.5 hour visit to the blue water, and Captain David kept his Sailfish hot streak alive despite the short fishing hours.

.

They didn’t leave empty handed with this tasty White Tuna on ice as well.

It’s a real treat to see such big smiles from such little anglers; at its best fishing is a family sport and it’s an honor to introduce youngsters to the craft of sportfishing.
