Tim Womack and his family lit it up on the Wanderer during their quick visit to Nosara near the end of July. The mayor of Sailfish City put this excellent family of anglers on five Pacific Sailfish…even the wife and kids got to reel in some monster billfish!

Tim broke the ice with the first release of the day, but was soon challenged by a mighty pair of junior anglers.

Not to be outdone, mama got in on the action with a Sailfish of her own.

Tim finished off the trip the same way he started with the fifth and final safe release.

Great hunting by Captain William and wonderful fish-handling by First Mate Alex to safely release all five fish.

Glenn Wootton’s group returned to the flagship on July 28 and took a tour of Sailfish City. The action fired off early in the full day trip and didn’t let up ’til late in the afternoon.

After three quick releases before noon, the action slowed down just long enough for lunch. In the afternoon the group picked up two more Sailfish releases plus a big Wahoo for the dinner table.

Glenn Wootton and his family had a lights-out performance on the mighty Wanderer on July 26. These South Florida anglers started out with a fantastic Marlin release:

Here are some pictures that Glenn sent along with the following message:

“The first picture is me after 10 minutes; the last one is a half hour
later. He kicked my ass “

The Wanderer boated a trio of nice Sailfish to follow up on their earlier Marlin score.

Great work by the incomparable Captain William and First Mate Alex on a day with safe billfish releases and dinner in the fishbox.

The Explorer is absoulutely on fire this month! On July 25 she relased a Marlin and a Sailfish, plus mopped up on Yellowfin Tuna and the suddenly-abundant Wahoo!

The billfish were released early in the trip, leaving the rest of the day open for fridge-filling.

That’s some incredibly well-rounded fishing from the most powerful panga in the bay. Great work by Captain David and Mate Kevin on this excellent day!

Big news from the Adventurer! The little boat that no one saw coming just racked her first Wahoo. One of the hardest-fighting and elusive non-billfish species in our area, these silver bullets were caught by none other than newly-minted FishingNosara Hall of Famer Travis Picariello.

Why settle for one when you can have two?

This excellent performance underscores what we have always said down here: right boat + right tackle + right Captain = Great results for our clients. Wonderful day by Travis Picariello and the unstoppable Captain Carlos.

Travis Picariello is a good old boy from New Jersey who we had the pleasure of meeting at a fishing show in Suffern, NY. With a lot of pleading and begging his parents allowed him and his cousin to visit us in Nosara, and clearly these fellas had some aces up their sleeves from the word ‘go’

Captain David took the Explorer to the blue water and they released a fantastic Marlin followed up by a big Sailfish.

Travis went ahead and picked up dinner in the form of this tasty 15lbs. Tuna and a big Dorado. Great start to the week for the Picariello boys.

Rolando Rodriguez hails from the hard-fishing town of Tampa, FL and came to Nosara primarily to hunt the monster Snook that live in the Nosara River. However the siren’s call of the nearby blue water could not be denied as Mr. Rodriguez booked the Explorer during his brief visit to the area.

Hello! This Pacific Sailfish is a total monster and Rolando was stoked beyond belief to releases this exquisite pelagic.

Great work by Captain Carlos and Captain David…when this much experience is on the boat the fish better watch out!
