Daily Fishing Updates | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

We met Peter Sohlden at the Florida Sportsman Expo in Ft. Myers last year, and he signed up for five days of fishing on the mighty Wanderer.

The ice was broken on the first trip of the week with a pair of sweet Sailfish releases.

Bob Pease finished off another great week of hall-of-fame caliber fishing with Captain William and First Mate Alex on the Wanderer.

This high-flyer was a real challenge for any angler, but Bob’s billfishing skills are honed after this week of crazy action.

The action was consistent throughout the trip as the boys notched four more Sailfish releases.

Bob will be back in June and we are stoked to see what kind of fishing action will be in store from this Georgia boy!

Bob Pease finished off Day 3 with another nice Sailfish release, plus added a MASSIVE Dorado to his scorecard.

This deck sweeper is at least 60lbs., maybe more. Nice to see that Bob won’t have to eat chicken tonight; 15+ fish this week and now he finally has a filet!

In the afternoon First Mate Alex put out the billfish spread and attracted another hungry Sailfish.

Great work all around to keep the good times rollin’ on the Wanderer!

Now there’s no way to follow-up a great day like Bob Pease had on the 22nd, but these Georgia boys stayed on the bite to the tune of four Sailfish releases.

Overcast skies and intermittent waves seas would challenge most boats, but Captain William has seen it all and the mighty Wanderer wasn’t about to back down from tough conditions.

These releases bring Bob’s personal billfish total with us up to 30 fish. Excellent work Mr. Pease!

Bob Pease is a tough fisherman from Georgia and he scored huge onboard the famous Wanderer…Take a look at the monster Marlin released by this ole’ boy:

This Blue Marlin is estimated around 300lbs. and certainly is the fish of a lifetime!

Bob Pease put his mark on this fishery in August 2012 when he broke a then-team record with 13 Sailfish released in one day; that feat landed him in the FishingNosara Hall of Fame, and it is safe to say that he is up for another enshrinement.

This trip wasn’t a one-hit wonder…Bob and the boys also tallied seven Sailfish releases.

All this excellent hunting by Captain William made sure that First Mate Alex was wrangling fish all day!

Great work on all the safe releases on a dynamite day for Bob Pease and the famous Wanderer!

April 21, 2014

Keith Renaud and his family totaled eight nice Sailfish releases today on the Wanderer.

Thing got cooking early on with three early releases.

The action intensified with a Double Sailfish release expertly coordinated by Captain William on the wheel and First Mate Alex helping the anglers in the cockpit.

After the clean double release the action stayed strong throughout the trip.

Everyone got their hands dirty but all the fish were safely releases as always.

Another wonderful Wanderer trip!

Joe Doubek and his family celebrated Easter aboard the flagship Wanderer and they snatched up Sailfish like they were Easter eggs.

Captain William tracked a feeding porpoise pod and Team Doubek swiped a handful of small Yellowfin Tunas out from under their bottle-noses.

Big family fun on the Wanderer for Joe Doubek!

Martin Spreen and his group had a great day on the Wanderer with the scorecard revealing multiple Sailfish releases and one of the biggest Dorados you’ll ever see!

The early bite was dominated by Sailfish, all fired up and high-flying.

Later in the day Captain William discovered a pod of spinning porpoises and knew that good-eatin’ fish were near.

A few small Dorados found the icebox first, then this granddaddy Mammoth Mahi Mahi hit the hooks:

Dan Lavoie and his group had a fantastic day on the Wanderer as Captain William gave them a behind-the-scenes tour of Sailfish City.

They broke the ice with an early release, then nabbed dinner in the form of this big Dorado.

First Mate Alex didn’t even get this fish fileted before a high-flying Sailfish entered the spread and took the hook.

The releases came fast and furious in the afternoon with four more spectacular Sailfish releases on the scorecard.

Great day of action on the mighty Wanderer.

Tom Bernik brought his sons down to Nosara with big fish on the brain. Captain William and First Mate Alex of the famous Wanderer overcame overcast skies and some medium chop to deliver the goods to this hard-fishing family from New Jersey.
