Showing extreme dedication to the hunt, Ed Smith finally scored a Cubera Snapper on the Explorer.

Ed writes: “Finally checked the Cubera Snapper off the list. Carlos and crew worked hard for 3 days and it finally paid off.”

“You know the days gonna be good when you hook up a wahoo first (instead of the bonita we were trying to catch for bait).”

“Craig, we’ve had a great time so far, love the house, the crew, the town and the surf – can you just the roads fixed?”

He also scored another great Yellowfin Tuna and a Yellowtail Snapper. That’s a boatload of filets!

Man we love California anglers! A good friend of Shea McIntee (of Stoked on Fishing fame) named Ed Smith has brought his boys down to Nosara for a fun week of surfing and fishing.

On August 17 young Sean scored this excellent Sailfish release on the Explorer.

Ed writes: “Sean joined the billfish club today with his first sailfish on light gear.”

“I on the other hand came closer to my cubera snapper goal, losing a monster on a big popper in a few feet of water.”

“Nothing like seeing a 12-inch wide tail/back come crashing down on the jig! Off to buy more poppers tomorrow!”

ย Still, Ed scored some excellent eating fish with a Yellowfin Tuna, Ponpano, and Snapper all on ice.

Wonderful Double Sailfish release on the Explorer!

This pair of monsters attacked the super panga’s spread but Captain Carlos and Mate Juan Carlos were ready for them.

Once again the good fishing karma found this group of CCA North Carolina anglers and they performed brilliantly.

All fish were safely released, putting the perfect bow on this fishing gift.

Charlie Phillips’ posse saved the best for last, as on their final day of fishing on the Wanderer they scored a DOUBLE MASSIVE Marlin release.

We have some great video of this beast so look out for the full account on the next FishingNosara DVD due out this month.

The crew also added to their pile of filets…after a great day inshore on the 14th, they caught a whole bunch of filets to take home on the 15th.

Charlie Phillips stayed inshore today and knocked a big Rooster Fish off of his bucket list.

This catch as been a long time coming for this Everglades angler, and we are stoked to see this accomplishment.

The group also added tasty filets for the dinner table in the form of three nice Snappers and a pile of Yellowfin Tuna.

Looking good in the ice box and on the dinner plate!

The Wanderer is closing in on the final bell of the season like a thoroughbred and clients like Charlie Phillips’ group are feeling pumped to be along for the ride.

On August 13 scored two more wonderful Sailfish release for this Florida-based fishing posse.

For Kim Ponzio, this was her first ever billfish release and she fought it well all the way to the boat.

Great releases by First Mate Alex underscored Captain William’s keen hunting instincts as once again the flagship delivers the goods!

Captain Fico has been on fire this month on the Adventurer. He is building a reputation as a consistent fish-catcher and his clients are reaping the rewards.

This nice family scored an Amberjack and a small Snapper, and the next day Yellowfin Tuna was on the menu:

Late in the week this trio knocked out a pair of Yellowfin Tunas and a nice Amberjack.

Charlie and the boys kept the pedal to the metal on the Wanderer with a fantastic outing that included SIX Sailfish releases and a beefy Dorado for the refrigerator.

Captain William found the Sailfish were thick as cordwood just a few miles out, and First Mate Alex put out an irresistible spread for the monsters.

Great safe releases on all six fish, but this big Dorado ain’t going anywhere except on ice!

 

Exceptional fishing from the King of Garza Bay.
