Taylor Lukof notched the first big Dorado in boat history during his May 3 trip on the Discoverer.
This deck-sweeper is easily 50lbs. and should keep the party fed well for the rest of the week.

The Explorer hit the meat market on May 3 and put a nice Dorado in the shopping cart.
They also added come color in the form of this 15lbs. Yella Fella. Nice work to fill the fishbox by Captain Carlos on the Explorer.

Seth Moore and his boys are on board for several trips this week, and he got off to a fast start with a bunch of nice Yellowfin Tunas on ice.
They also walloped this huge Dorado…that’s a lot of filets!
Great work by the crew of the famous Wanderer on this excellent fishin’ mission.

Captain David hit the ground running with the Discoverer, as we welcomed Jeff Vancini for some blue water billfishing on May 2.
We told you that the sightlines on the new Discoverer would yield some great never-before-seen angles, and these pictures tell the tale.
Amazing how much more detailed the fish is once you get 15 feet off the deck.
Great work by Jeff Vancini and the unstoppable Captain David!

Another fantastic Sailfish released by Fico on the Adventurer:
Big fish must feel pretty embarrassed when they get bested by a 23-foot boat, but Fico is a true disciple of Extreme Panga Fishing and once again beat a blue water beastie!

Big catch on the Wanderer for Peter Sohlden’s crew. These guys put in the time this week with a full scorecard of Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, and Cubera Snapper. Only one thing was missing…
BOOM! Big Black Marlin on the mighty Wanderer!
They also added another Sailfish release to their haul to finish out a great week of fishing in Costa Rica.

After a few days of assembly and shake-down, the Discoverer is in the water and catching fish!
Captain David has accepted the promotion to the new 31′ battle wagon and has tapped Mate Kevin to stick with him on this transition. On their first trip they were joined by Mate Fico and young Garza legend Hernan for an offshore trip with Craig Sutton and Ms. Paula.
Our new vessel headed to the blue water flanked by the FishingNosara flagship Wanderer and the super panga Explorer, and this three-headed fishing monster found a big mancha of spinning porpoises.
You know what that means….Yellowfin Tuna time!
Craig nabbed the first 15lbs. Yella Fella, then young Hernan strapped up for an Ahi of his own.
Ms. Paula notched the first billfish in Discoverer history with this fine Sailfish release, assisted by Mate Kevin.
In addition to dialing in the fishing tools for the new boat, Captain David and Mate Kevin are also experimenting with new photography angles to best deliver the blue water action to your eyeballs. With a 21′ tower and all kinds of good sight-lines it will be no time at all until we can all see how fun fishing on the Discoverer can be.
All smiles all around on the unflappable Discoverer!
River Fishing Report – May 2014
The Nosara River Mouth yielded an excellent bounty of big Snook this month.
Check out this Snook which weighs well over 30lbs.:
Javier and the boys from Fuppernos (Friends of the River) are on point keeping the area clean.
The seasonal rains rolling through the mountains makes all the refuse roll down to the river… thankfully the Fuppernos are on the job to protect this fragile community resource.

The Explorer delivered this fat Yellowfin Tuna for our new friends Deamian Fischer and Robin Livingston.
These good-sized Yellas are starting to show up in numbers and we are pumped up for the next few months of Ahi Action!

Another day, another batch of Sailfish releases for Peter Sohlden and his posse.
These guys have been on fire all week!
These are all great looking fish, each easily over 150lbs.
They also added this tasty Yellowfin Tuna to polish of the trip.
