The Wanderer was back in action with client Dennis Cinquiano enjoying great action with the flagship.

They stayed inshore in the morning and snagged a beautiful Rooster Fish, which was released after the photo.

Around noon Captain William followed a flock of Frigate Birds (also called Marlin Birds) offshore to a boiling bait ball.

In no time the blue beauty was hooked up to a pair of Sailfish.

Great fight coordination and fish handling by First Mate Alex lead to a beautiful Double Sailfish release.

They added a final Sailfish release to end the day:

Excellent work by the mighty Wanderer!

Recently the barroom brawler pulled up a stool to the legendary reef at Pincha Padre and knocked out all comers.

This beautiful Rooster fish release is certainly the highlight of the haul.

Later in the day they scored a nice-sized Cubera Snapper for the dinner table. Excellent tasting filets on the way!

David Stewart is on a Sailfish streak this week with lots of great releases on the Discoverer.

The fish were fired up and ready for a fight, but the combo of Captain David on the wheel and Mate Juan Carlos in the cockpit was unstoppable.

Safe releases all around made for a perfect end to these fights.

Captain Fico has the Adventurer cooking with tons of great catches to report. For starters, check out this mammoth Ponpano scored by the switchblade.

This manhole cover will yield some excellent Ceviche. Great catch!

Rossi Bonugli and his group lit up the Sailfish onboard the Discoverer. Check out this powerful pair of Sailfish releases:

Nice fish handling by Mate Juan Carlos and a great catch by the battleship!

The Explorer headed offshore on February 19 and encountered a swarm of starving Sailfish.

Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin worked together to flawlessly catch and release a half-dozen of these marvelous monsters.

Proof again that you don’t need a big boat to catch big fish in Costa Rica!

Captain Carlos on the super panga Explorer have been on fire this month with lots of Sailfish action leading off the scorecard.

They started the month with an awesome Double Sailfish release. Great work by Mate Kevin to handle this fight and get these fish properly de-hooked and swimming free.

This double release was a sign of things to come…February has brought huge numbers of Sailfish releases for the super panga’s clients.

The filet bags stayed full this month also…check out the size on this Tuna:

Of course plenty of Dorado were harvested by the Explorer.

Great work by the dynamic duo of Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin!

Not saying that we are in cahoots with the fish, but if you buy a FishingNosara hat we might put in a good word for you!

Mike Hartley broke in his new FishingNosara Hat with this sweet Rooster fish release. There are many lures that will tempt a Rooster fish, but none as effective as the ‘new hat lure’
