Our new pal Tracy Anderson just finished up three back-to-back days of inshore action with a wide variety of tasty filets on ice.

The Adventurer hasn’t skipped a beat with Captain Fico at the helm, as proved by this nice Cubera Snapper.

Tracy followed up with a few smaller Snappers:

Plus a Yellowfin Tuna and a Yellowtail Snapper…that’s a grand a haul!

William Christian Flanagan and his boys hit the water hard on May 26 with a legendary performance on the mighty Wanderer.

Captain William took the flagship offshore where a huge Black Marlin hit the baits early in the day, and put up a fight that left these anglers drenched in sweat.

The hard work paid off as everyone a picture with this fish-of-a-liftime before First Mate Alex saw to the clean release.

The momentuem stayed positive with a second Black Marlin release in the early afternoon.

Third time’s a charm, right!

These Texas anglers triumphed on this, the third Marlin of the trip!

With these guys ares about to turn to jelly, First Mate Alex was left to shine alone in the final photos of the day.

We’ve had great fortune with anglers from the Lone Star State, and the Flanagan Boys kept the Texas karma strong!

Dr. Bart Carey and his crew had a knock-out day on the Wanderer with not one, not two, but THREE Marlin releases.

The second Marlin came hot of the heels of the first, with only 45 minutes between releases.

They scored this tasty Dorado for the fishbox:

The final send-off was this amazing above-the-water Marlin fight. Check the action on this beast:

Great safe releases by First Mate Alex underscore another magnificent performance by Captain William and the famous Wanderer.

Willard Richards won a trip to Nosara, Costa Rica at the 2014 Florida Sportsman Expo in Ft. Myers, and we are stoked to report that his group scored a MASSIVE Marlin release on the FishingNosara flagship Wanderer on May 16.

What an amazing shot! First Mate Alex is doing his best Roy Rogers impersonation in ropin’ in the bucking billfish, but howabout the trigger finger on Captain William to get this photo?

This couple teamed up for the 35-minute billfish battle and scored a safe release at 11:38am.

Team Richards scored again later in the week with this tasty Dorado catch.

Great work by these excellent Florida anglers and the crew of the flagship Wanderer.

Hi Craig,ย 

“Sorry it has taken so long to get in touch with you, but since our return from Costa Rica, things around here have been a bit hectic. I really want to say that all of us had aย GREAT TIMEย staying in the house you provided, along with all of the amenities.ย  The two days of fishing with Capt. William and Alex were excellent and will not soon be forgotten.”ย 
“Landing the 400# Marlin was a dream come true and one of the more exciting things that I have done in my 72 years on this earth.ย  My sister was also “as pleased as punch” as were the rest of us when she landed the 30# Mahi-Mahi, which by the way provided all of us an excellent meal.ย  We took the fish to Marlin Bill’s and they prepared it to all of our satisfaction.”
ย 
“I will / have recommend(ed) you and your facilities,ย to anybody who wants to experience a truly great time fishing for the big ones.ย  Not only was the fishing great, but the horseback riding safari trip was a very memorable and enjoyable experience.ย ย  Edwardo was a great guide, and his family was a delight to meet.ย ย  The house was beyond our expectations and the breakfast service was wonderful.ย  You truly have some very good personnel working for you.”
ย 
“I am truly great full to you for having offered and then provided the best prize that I have ever won.ย  In fact, prior to winning the raffle at the Expo, I would always tell people “that if it wasn’t for my bad luck, I wouldn’t have any luck at all”.ย  I can no longer say that.ย  I know my children, sister and niece all had one of the best times of their life, and are already talking of going back.”
ย 
“Again, a GREAT BIG THANK YOU, for a wonderful time had by all.”
ย 
Willard (Will) Richards

The Discoverer won’t be defeated!

Chris McLaughlin and his group threw down the gauntlet with a gang from Sailfish City, but Captain David and Mate Kevin had their back…Check out these billfish conquests:

Captain David has been a legend in Garza for the last half-decade, and now that he is armed with a battleship there is no escape for these Sailfish hooligans.

Check out this great email from Chris:

Craig,

Getting back to reality really sucks. After arriving back home and climbing into my bed at 2am, only to get up at 5am to get back to the grind made me appreciate my short trip to Nosara even more.

We all had a great time and I have to say you truly run a First Class operation! From arrival to departure, all was seamless; shuttle service, office staff, house crew, and of course the top notch crew of the Discoverer.

I have to tip my hat to Captain David and Mate Kevin. I have fished on many boats all over and would certainly put them up against anyone. Great personable guys who work hard to make your customers happy; catching fish was just a bonus.

I want to thank you again for everything and I hope to be back soon for some more of Jenny’s Mahi Cerviche.

Pura Vida. Chris.

The Komis Psaros group signed up the flagship for three days this month, and on their first day out they scored several nice Yellowfin Tuna to fill the refrigerator.

Top water plugs and spinning rods were the weapons of choice as these fellas put four big Yellas on ice.

Nice work by Captain William and First Mate Alex to bring home the bacon for these great clients.
