Tyson Wegman joined Captain David on the Explorer for a quick 2.5hr trip on May 29 and packed every minute of it with action. Accompanied by the lovely Marcia, Mr. Wegman made a special trip to Nosara specifically to go fishing with the best pros in the country.

Captain David cemented his reputation by putting Mr. Wegman on six Yellowfin Tunas, two Blue Runners and a big Cubera Snapper who barely got away. They had a great time and filled up the Explorer‘s fishbox with enough Yellowfin sushi to certainly last the rest of their trip. Great work Tyson and Captain David.

So one day I was sitting around with Captain David as a gully-washing monsoon poured down on Guiones Beach and asked him, “What do you do when it rains?” His response was pure Tico: “Fish in the rain.”

Today reminded me of that statement because as the rain poured down from the mountains, Captain David and the Explorer welcomed client Daniel Altari for a three hour fishing trip. Despite high seas, gusty winds and torrential rains they still had some action on the inshore reefs. With one Yellowfin Tuna in the box, they called it a day before they really got soaked.

Tough day of fishing, put productive nonetheless.

General Manager of Nosara Paradise Rentals Javier Hernandez took a trip up to the Nosara River mouth for a late-night shore casting battle with the monstrous Snook who frequent this area.

Armed with a Rapala lipped lure and a regular spinning rod, this Snook was no match for Javier. He also lost a MASSIVE Snook but there are plenty more in this river.

Don’t forget that we have more to offer than just blue water fishing…the mountain-fed rivers that roar through this area bring an abundance of life with them. Either from shore or from a kayak, it is not unusual to haul in great Snook like this one.


Great shore fishing by El Jefe!

Fantastic day of fishing for client Marc on the Explorer! On just a 3.5 hour trip Captain David put him on fish early and often. First up were four nice Yellowfin Tunas and a nice Rainbow Runner. They switched over to bottom fishing and harvested some nice beasts: five meaty Jacks and a 50+lbs. Cubera Snapper.


Great fishing by Marc and Captain David on the Explorer!

On May 23 Captain Vibert welcome a nice visiting family to the Cabo for a half-day trip and everyone had a great time. Check out this mini-Dorado caught by this mini-Angler. The Master Captain always delivers great trips for his clients big and small.

Most recently Captain Vibert welcomed client Adolfo Malavasi for a full day of fishing on the Cabo and they had a banner day. The first big catch was this amazing Needlefish on a slow trolled cedar plug.

Then things really started to heat up with a variety of Snappers and Tunas. This White Tuna is one of the tastiest fish in the sea and a tough fighting fish.

Realistically, we could talk all day about the Master Captain’s skills on the water, but how about we let the fishbox do the talking:

On May 21 we had an excellent sunset fishing trip on the Wanderer with Craig, Paula, Daniel, Alvaro and his wife Patty. The highlight of the three hour tour was the release of a beautiful 35lbs. Rooster Fish by Patty.

In addition the rest of the party knocked out five Bonitas and three tasty football-sized Yellowfin Tunas. This shows how the right crew and the right boat can deliver great fishing action in just three short hours. Great job by the Wanderer!

On May 20 Craig, Paula, and local Dan Rey took the Wanderer offshore again looking for the blue water break. After 8 miles and only a few jumping Sailfish, they thought better of the offshore action and returned inshore where most of that week’s good catches had been made. On cue they nailed a pair of Yellowfin tunas for the fishbox.

With billfish hunting you must be prepared to put in long hours trolling while waiting for that one big strike. Despite the zero releases, the late-day tuna scores really proves Captain William’s mettle and never-give-up spirit…even on a bad day the Wanderer catches fish.

Did you know that Jim Morrison is still alive and fishing with us in Nosara?

Just kidding, that’s our good buddy Dan Rey with a pair of Yellowfins, but the resemblance is striking!

Ben Richards and Alysia returned home from Nosara today, but before they left they went on the FishingNosara Kayak Safari tour. Check out these great pictures of fishing the scenic Nosara River Mouth.

The Kayak Safari Tours are already hugely popular with the nature appriciating outdoor adventuring crowd; now it is finally catching on with the fishing crowd. This river is chock full of Mangrove Snapper and Snook, so on your next Nosara trip you may want to take a day off of blue water fishing to sample this tranquil day of paddling and casting.

Fred Schramm and Eddie McGowan were kicking some fish butt all over the reef on from May 5 to May 17 with Captain David on the Explorer. Lots of Tunas in all varieties: White, Black, Yellowfin…the action was so hot we thought they might catch a can of Albacore!

Freddy and Eddie fished the next day with slow action, then on May 7 it picked up in a remarkable way. Captain David put them on the fish and they kept the decks bloody from start to finish. They hit shore with ten Yellowfin Tunas and ten Jacks in the fishbox. All the fish weighed over 15lbs., with a few of the Yella Fellas in the twenties.

Fantastic fourth day of fishing on May 9 with Captain David; as if their previous assault on Yellowfin tunas wasn’t enough, they boated twelve more of the meaty Yellow footballs on this trip. This 45lbs. Cuberra was the perfect finish to another great trip.

Fred Schramm and Eddie McGowan would not give these fish a break! On their fifth day of fishing on the Explorer they caught five more Yellowfin Tunas and another nice Cuberra Snapper; the big red Buick was estimated around 35lbs.

Freddy and Eddie came back on May 17 for a victory lap on the Explorer. They did their typical awesome work on the reefs and nailed another nice Cuberra Snapper and one of the largest Rainbow Runners we have seen this season.

Regular readers of this report know that Captain David has a great affection for loudly-colored boardshorts, so you know he was a fan of these Dorado shorts. Great catches by Fred Schramm and Eddie McGowan on a long week of excellent action.
