Ron Poindexter made some more noise on the Wanderer on May 8 as they had ‘His and Hers’ Sailfish releases. The misses was the first angler up and she took this Sailfish on a succinct trip to the boat for a release.

The other Sailfish was a mean fighter and came it hot and heavy, but Mr. Poindexter was up to the task. Safe releases on both fish as always by First Mate Alex.

Katie Bonjean and her group released a whopping 9 Sailfish today on the Wanderer ranging from 75lbs. all the way up to over 100lbs. Clearly Captain William has found a nice Sailfish swarm and has been putting our clients on the blue streaks all month long.

Great work as usual by First Mate Alex seeing to the safe capture and release of these beauties as the Wanderer racks another day for the record books!

Jacksonville’s own Ron Poindexter kicked some serious billfish butt on his first of two days of fishing on the mighty Wanderer. Captain William pointed the compass to Sailfish City and First Mate Alex put out the spread that has turned these once elusive predators into daily sparring partners for our boys.

This first Sailfish release was a great way to start the week, and the furious action that followed put these Northeast Florida anglers to the test.

How sweet are these pictures! it’s hard to decide what Captain William is better at: catching big billfish or capturing them on camera.

Look out for more great action when these clients hit the water again later this week.

Simon Williams comes to Nosara all the way from merry old England and for his day on the Wanderer it seems like he brought some nasty North Atlantic weather with him.

Though everyone on shore was ecstatic to have some much-needed rain, Captain William and First Mate Alex had to keep one eye on the baits and another eye on the fast-moving rain clouds pouring out of the mountain.

The Wanderer is famous for her ‘Never Surrender!’ attitude and just because the seas were rough doesn’t mean that the fish would get a break, as Simon released this nice Sailfish after a tense 20 minute duel.

Great work by the baddest boat in the bay: the Wanderer!

River Fishing Report – May 2013

Javier has continued his onslaught on the Snook dwelling in the Nosara river mouth. Check out some of his highlights from this month:



Also the Fuppernos (Friend of the River) are staying on task by keeping the river clean and free of garbage; the return of the seasonal rains means that lots of junk is flowing down the mountain and only through the vigilance of the Fuppernos can this lovely resource thrive.


Thanks to Pipin, Marina, Manuel, Rosi, Joaquin and Juan Luis for their help this month.


Read more and get involved with the cause by visiting the Fuppernos Facebook page and do your part…if you are in town visiting for a few days why not give back to the Nosara community by pitching in on a river clean-up?

Time again for the monthly Nosara Paradise Rentals / FishingNosara company fishing outing. Javier was joined by his wife Ana and son Dario, brother Grevan, Cathy, Arturo, and Freddy for a relaxing afternoon on the Wanderer with Captain William and First Mate Alex.

We’ll let you know if they caught anything shortly. Regardless, it is always great when the crew gets a chance to relax and enjoy a day on the ocean.

Getaway day for the Bill Harris group! After releasing nine Sailfish in two days it stands to reason that things would slow up for the boys. Still they found this straggler Sailfish poking around the baits; this release brings their group total to ten for the week!

It was cold beers, celebratory cubanos, and big smiles for these Floridans as they polish off an excellent three days of fishing in Costa Rica. Great job guys!

Samantha Rady braved the blue water onboard Garza’s ulimate prize fighter the Explorer. Captain David was on his game and hooked this NYC angler with not one but TWO elusive Rooster Fish!

They warmed up earlier in the trip on some Jack Crevalles before pursing the trophy fish.

Of course both Roosters were released and we look forward to them pecking at our baits again really soon.

Bill Harris and the boys got off to a fast start yesterday, but today’s incredible catches put that old business far in the rear-view mirror. Elie was the icebreaker on this trip, releasing this Sailfish just after 9am.

The were more nice Sails close behind as the strikes came at a furious pace.

The action was intense when two lines sang off at once, setting the stage for another amazing Double Sailfish Release.

Looks like everyone got a photos with these lovely twins. Excellent fish handling by First Mate Alex to safely bill, revive, and release these fish.

What happened to your ballyhoo? Did a Sailfish rob you and run away? And what is First Mate Alex doing behind you?

Oh, I see. Putting the final touch on a wonderful five Sailfish release day on the mighty Wanderer!
