Captain Alex welcomedย Daniel Bryant and his family on July 18 for a sweet day of fierce fishing action.
The early part of the day featured great meat fish action with Dorados on ice.
In the afternoon session the Harvester dug in for fun Sailfish releases.
Another fun Texas angler, Crystal Dupre and her group, came down on July 18. A big Dorado was followed up by an excellent Sailfish release.
Brady Ballard brought his posse from Austin, TX for a packed week of action on the blue water with Captain William running the gamut of fish on July 17.
This early-morning Sailfish release was quickly followed up by a variety of tasty table fare.
First a big Dorado, then a pack of Yellowfin Tunas…looks like dinner is served!
A big monster came late in the day. This monster Blue Marlin is a true warrior and it took the best boat in Central America to capture and release her.
Great work by the mighty Wanderer.
The Discoverer kept the good times rolling with Brent Louviere’s group scoring several sweet Sailfish releases on the 18th.
Nice fish handling by Mate Kevin means that these monsters will be around for more duels in the future.
Great work by the big battleship!
July 16th saw more good Dorado action on the Wanderer. No one is going hungry this week!
Captain Carlos of the Discoverer and angler Crystal Dupre knocked it out of the park with this excellent Yellowfin Tuna.
Great job by the big bad battleship!
The Harvester welcomed Brent Louviere and his boys for a big day of blue water action on July 16. Take a look at this monster Yellowfin Tuna, caught on light tackle:
They added Sailfish releases throughout the rest of the day.
Awesome work by Captain Alex and the mega panga Harvester!
Robert Ong swung by the CR office and booked the Adventurer on July 15, and despite the low price of the 23-foot panga this angler brought home a great haul of fresh fish filets.
If this pile went to the fish market, he would have come out far ahead on this charter. Amazing work by Captain David!
The Sherley/Jasak team continued their hot streak on the 15th with more great Sailfish action.
A pair of Sailfish releases got the party started, and then a MASSIVE Blue Marlin showed up looking for a fight.
Great work by Mate Johnny, Captain William, and this fun-loving group of Florida anglers
We got this great email once they got home:
“Craig,”
“I returned last week from my trip to Nosara. Chet Jasak had booked the trip for us over a year and a half ago and it was great to finally get to go fish with your team in Costa Rica. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed the trip and will recommend Fishing Nosara to everyone.
“One of the guys we took fishing with us has ALS and his mobility and strength are not the best. Both Captain William and Captain Francisco really accommodated us so that we were able to help our friend Bob land both a Sailfish and Marlin.”
“Bob was a diver and commercial fisherman in his earlier years, we are all 71 or older, and as he said this was probably his last chance to catch a Sailfish or Marlin and Captains William and Francisco made it happen.”
“If Francisco wanted to he could have ended our day earlier but he hung in and we got the Sailfish at the end of the day. Captain William had to work the Wanderer over and over to keep the Marlin in position so Bob and I could get it landed. These men and their crew (Johnny and Elias) are much more than just employees, they have heart and your are blessed to have them on your staff.”

Lee Ann Martin was on the receiving end of great fishing action with multiple fun catches on the Harvester.
These nice (but blurry) Sailfish release shots were saved by the fact that Gail Burton took her own pictures…this is why it’s always smart to bring your own camera.
Later the group belted up for a bunch of Yellowfin Tuna catches.
Multiple simultaneous hook up led to several nice specimens on ice.
“We had the best time fishing yesterday!” Lee Ann sent us in an email. “Our Captain Alex was amazing! We caught lots of tuna & my sister got to reel in a sail fish!”
