Alabama angler Hall Massey made history for the FishingNosara team by being the first person to catch a Sailfish on the fly.
We’ve attempted a bit of fly-fishing over the years, and this accomplishment was a long time coming.
Roll tide!

Patrick and Jennifer Humphrey and their group (Donald Gibbs, Dominic Miller, Brittany Marie) knocked the Yellowfin Tunas out of the park on August 11 with three monster catches.
The ladies got in on the action as well.
These monsters weighed in at 75lbs., 31lbs. and 25lbs.
Big smiles and big fish for this group of Florida-based anglers.

Craig Sutton and Javier went fishing on the 11th with Captain Fico, along with a special guest: Javier’s seven-year old son Dario.
Fans of this fishing report already know that Dario is a master of river mouth fishing, however this Sailfish represents his first billfish release.
Great work by young Dario!

David and Kevin Paredes joined the Discoverer for an amazing day of blue water action on August 11. These early-in-the-day Sailfish releases were the icebreaker.
Then the big fish of the day came calling…look at this monster 100+lbs. Yellowfin Tuna.
Outstanding work by the big battleship!

You know that Craig isn’t going to miss the best bite of the year…the Sailfish are thick and the big battleship Discoverer is stacking up releases left and right.
Great work by Captain Carlos

Craig Sutton got his week of fishing off to a good start with a trio of Sailfish releases in just 4 hours of fishing.
Excellent work by Mate Wilson to keep these fish calm and to release them safely.

On August 10, Natalie Scheider and her friends turned in a nice half day with the Explorer.
Big Dorados were the order of the day, and these anglers were more than happy to bring them home.

The Sailfish swarmed during early August, and Captain Alex led the charge with an excellent seven release day on August 9.
This Double Sailfish release was quite a challenge, but Mate Wilson coordinated with Captain Alex wonderfully and kept these fish separate and safe.
The sustained Sailfish attack continued all morning and the crew chalked up the scoreboard several times.
Great work to keep these fights short and sweet, ensuring the safety and survival of the fish.
A man can work up quite a hunger with all this action, so wouldn’t it be nice to catch something to eat?
Yes….yes it is.
This monster deck-sweeping Dorado even impressed Captain William on the Wanderer (see backround), who came by to see for himself.
Amazing day by the mega panga!

The boys were back the next day to storm the gates on more Sailfish releases.
Look at this crazy dragon energy these monster expelled just feet from the boat.
The team nabbed a half-dozen Sailfish releases before calling it a day.
Great job by Captain Alex and Mate Wilson to release these fine beauties to fight another day.

Captian Fico aka ‘El Brujo’ continued his sorcery on the 8th with a pair of memorable trophy releases with Richard Sim and his son.
These UK-based anglers started off this this awesome Rooster Fish, and then followed up with a sweet Sailfish release.
Great witchcraft by the Explorer.
