Morgan Trible and Kenny Strickler have built reputations as the most consistent anglers in the area. Hailing from the hard fishing state of Virginia, these guys seem to post Hall of Fame-caliber results every time they hit the water.

On this, their third trip of the week, the boys had a pair of early afternoon Sailfish attack the spread but spit the hooks. They deployed this special live bait spread to coax up another billfish:

The ladies were back in the boat for only 5 minutes before a mack-daddy Sailfish came for a visit. The fight was thrilling but quick as these Virginian’s added another great Sailfish release to their scorecard.

I love the ‘everyone look somewhere besides the camera’ pose here.

Also check out the blue FishingNosara coozie on the right; we have been out of stock of blue coozies for quite some time now, which means one of the guys brought it along from home. Hold on to that coozie, bud…it’s good luck!

With First Mate Alex’s careful assistance, Morgan released this Sailfish clean and ready to fight another day.

Morgan and Kenny stayed inside today on the Wanderer and along with their amigas had a relaxing inshore sunset cruise. The fellas caught a big old Jack Crevalle (pictured) and a nice White Tuna (no picture as this one went straight to the sushi tray).

Great way to relax on the water in between offshore trips.

Hall of Famers Morgan Trible and Kenny Strickler have struck again! They booked the Wanderer on April 10 and released 2 two Blue Marlins (200lbs. and 400lbs.) plus added two Dorados (13lbs.-30lbs.)

Looks like Kenny just can’t let go of this great fish. Finally Morgan and First Mate Alex pried her away and released her safe as always.

William Ascura and his boys joined Captain David on the Explorer for a half day excursion on April 8 . They started out on the right foot with this wonderful Sailfish release.

Mate Carlos set this monster free and Explorer moved inshore to about 250 feet of water for some deep-jigging action. The boys caught a nice Spanish Mackeral and backed it up with a 20lbs. Cubera Snapper.

Great work by anglers young and old!

John Barrineau and his family were back on the Wanderer looking to top their three-for-three Sailfish performance from earlier in the week, and we are stoked to report that these Jacksonville anglers achieved another remarkable feat: The Double Sailfish Release!

This was just the tip of the iceberg for the trip as the Barrineau’s added three more releases to the scorecard.

What fantastic results this week for these Jacksonville anglers as once again the mighty Wanderer delivers on the promise of high-end Costa Rica sportfishing!

An unusually large Spanish Mackerel was caught on the Explorer on April 6. Charles Ahearn knocked this out on a flyrod, which is a new tactic for this area. Captain David is always game to learn something new, so he pulled back the outriggers and let loose the flies!

This fella probably weighs over 25 lbs. which makes it one of the beefier macarelas of the season.

Nice work on this tasty fish which they also backed up with a few Groupers.

I love how our guys take ‘days off’ in Nosara…Cumi is the hardest-working member of the Nosara Paradise Rentals team, streched thin between driving to and from the airports, maintaining all of the Safari Carts, and managing all of the in-town transportation from Ostinal to Garza and all points in between.

How does this guy relax? Check it out:

Looks like Javier has some competition at the Nosara River.

Great job on these tasty Permits! Ceviche anyone?

Jacksonville angler John Barrineau has brought the whole gang down to Nosara for a week of fun and fishing. Check out this amazing sailfish they caught on the first of three scheduled trips with Captain William on the Wanderer:

Later in the day they found another MASSIVE Sailfish, and this one was all Mrs. Barrineau’s!

Finally Mr. Barrineau dug the hooks into a third Sailfish of the day, and this one put on a show that makes you think he is posing for the next T-shirt design:

Excellent job on the safe bill and release by First Mate Alex as the mighty Wanderer continues to stay one step ahead of the elusive Pacific Sailfish…three up in the spread, three clean released, all in less than 5 hours!
