Dennis Seltsam joined Captain David on the Explorer, and after a fantastic Marlin release on the Wanderer Mr. Seltsam was ready to stay inshore and hunt reef monsters. The highlight of the excursion was this gorgeous Rooster fish:
These Kentucky anglers backed up the Rooster release with an assortment of Congrios which have certainly been around in droves recently. Great all around fishing perfomance by Dennis Seltsam and the invincible Explorer!
Our new friends William Bronner and his daughter Jessica are in Nosara for a week of relaxing, travelling, and of course some big time fishing! They were on the Wanderer with Captain William and pulled a MASSIVE Dorado estimated to weigh well over 60lbs.
Now that’s a heck of fish, but the way they caught it really stands out as something unique. Notice anything weird about this picture?
Look closer:
This monster moved through the spread so quickly that he gulped down a second rigged ballyhoo before the hook was set from the first bait! With twice the leverage and the hooksets this beast came home with little effort.
Very unique accomplishment for the Bronners who have more fishing scheduled this week. Stay tuned!
Captain Eduardo and his big battle wagon Sportsman played host to Mr. Neil Sawyer and his group for a great day on the water. They caught 6 Red Groupers, two Rooster fish, and a pair of Congrios.
Offshore or inshore, Captain Eduardo keeps his clients on the fish!
Suzanne McDowell and her group had an excellent afternoon on the water with Captain David and they have the fridge full of fish filets to prove it. The unstoppable Explorer stayed inshore and they racked several large Congrios and an assortment of smaller snappers.
Fantastic work by these Vermonters and Captain David on an outstanding trip!
Wayne Estes followed up their historic four Striped Marlin day with a very productive day of inshore reef harvesting. The Red Groupers were packing in thick and could not resist the topwater casted Williams Jet Popper.
‘El Popper’ could not be stopped as the Estes put on a fish catching clinic.
Dennis Seltsam came to Nosara with a singular purpose: Catch the fish of a lifetime! This Kentucky angler booked the Wanderer for a full day of Marlin hunting and I’d say the time spend traveling and trolling paid off.
Take a look at this beastie:
This Blue Marlin is estimate to weigh 250lbs. which isn’t exactly a record breaker, but look at that girth! This barrel-shaped torpedo gave Mr. Seltsam a heck of a fight but once again Captain William and the Wanderer prevailed victorious.
Great safe release as always by First Mate Alex!
Dennis will be working the inshore reefs tomorrow with Captain David on the Explorer and we’ll see if the good times keep rolling.
You gotta wake up pretty early in the morning to call yourself the pound-for-pound champ, so the Explorer had her lines out at the crack of the sun this morning. Captain David kept client Thompson Rains and his group on the fish and the rods were bent all morning.
This was Captain David’s first of two trips for the day; great job on the early morning bite by the Explorer.
Captain David has been delivering memorable Sunset fishing trips for his clients. Check out this multi-species evening:
Their 2.5 hour session yielded (from L to R) a Red Grouper, a Yellowfin Tuna, a White Tuna, and a nice Congrio. These guys made it back to shore just in time to get these filets to a restaurant…sounds like the perfect evening!
No let up from the boys on the FishingNosara flagship Wanderer! Captain William and First Mate Alex bid farewell to Josh Luke after his incredible marlin release, then welcome Colin Conces and his family for a Sunset cruise.
The family had great success on the Red Grouper that have swarmed into the area the last few days, boating a nice stack of filets for the dinner table.
Mr. Conces also added this delicious White Tuna to the sushi plate. Another relaxing yet fruitful Sunset family fishing trip from the comfy Wanderer.
Amazing Striped Marlin release today on the Wanderer! Mississippi’s own Josh Luke and Emily booked a half-day on the mighty blue bomber and Captain William delivered the goods for these client.
This guy put on a show as Josh brought him alongside for the release. Excellent teamwork by First Mate Alex and Josh to ensure the safe handling and release of this majestic Marlin.
After four Striped Marlin releases yesterday, it’s clear that the Wanderer has the Stripeys on the run!
