Our new friend Juan Levesque got off to a hot start in late July with a great day on the Explorer.
First up was this small Rooster Fish release.
Then the super panga headed offshore and pulled off a sweet Sailfish release.
They also put some excellent filets on ice, thanks to a pair of awesome Cubera Snappers.
Great work by Captain Fico and the barroom brawler Explorer!
The Wanderer and angler Brady Ballard were locked and loaded for a fun day offshore on July 21.
Early Sailfish action gave way to big Yellowfin Tuna scores later in the day.
Great work by Captain William and the mighty Wanderer!
Local angler Pilito Montiel caught this amazing Snook at the Nosara River mouth.
Better still, he caught this monster on an old-school handlining rig.
Awesome catch!
FishingNosara Hall of Famer Dennis Paul returned to the Wanderer on July 20 and added to his legendary reputation with more great Sailfish action.
Dennis always catches fish, and these pelagic predators are a great addition to his resume.
On the 19th, the Explorer welcomed Rob Youngman and his family for a quick five-hour trip to the blue water, and the 28-foot fighter knocked out several sweet Sailfish releases.
Even on a short day the Explorer delivers the goods!
The white-hot billfish bite continued on July 19 with Captain Alex reporting a mammoth day for angler Steve Balz and his boys. This monster Blue Marlin was the highlight of the trip:
The Marlin was backed-up by this great Sailfish release:
Of course the boys didn’t go home empty-handed, as a squad of tasty Dorados found their way to the fishbox.
Awesome work by the mega panga Harvester.
Brady Ballard joined up with the Discoverer on the 19th and was treated to excellent offshore action, starting with this World-Class Blue Marlin release:
Late in the day snagged these big Dorados:
Sweet Sailfish releases followed, rounding out a perfect day of fishing.
Great job by Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin!
Captain Alex welcomed 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.
