Craig scored the biggest Yellowfin Tuna of the season so far on board the Discoverer.
Neither Craig, Mate Juan Carlos, or Captain David could pick these monsters up off the deck.
Great to see the Yella Submarines are back in the area!

Captain William was joined by Javier and Marino of Nosara Paradise Rentals for and end-of-year Yellowfin Tuna harvest. As we bring this epic season to a close, it’s super important to remember that the most important element of FishingNosara are the people.
A close second are the fish! Check out the girth on this, the largest of the 5 Yellowfin caught today:

The Explorer welcomed client Justin Howell for a Yellowfin Tuna hunt and Captain David sniffed out a meaty 50lbs. Yella Fella.
This monster should surely satisfy the most demanding appetite. Great catch by the super panga!

Chuck Harris and his group of hard-fishin’ doctors are back in Nosara for a full week of heavy fishing. Their first trip on the Wanderer went splendidly with trophy fish released and the return of a favorite: BIG Yellowfin Tunas
They got off to a fast start at 9:30am with was a matched pair of Dorados estimated at 35lbs.
The real action picked up in the afternoon with two Sailfish within minutes of each other.
They also whacked two Yellowfun Tunas at 30lbs. and a monster 100lbs. beast that is certainly a welcome sight!
The Good Doctors will be fishing all week and we can’t wait to see what is in store for these fellas.

Rita and Stephen Greenberg are in Nosara for a fun-filled week of fishing and on their first trip they ushered in an exciting new trend for the month of May: BIG Yellowfin Tuna!
Captain William discovered a large school of porpoises feeding about 15 miles offshore; this multi-acre pod of spinning dolphins meant that the bait beneath were stacked up thick as cordwood.
Captain William put the call out on the radio and Captain David of the Explorer was quickly on the scene with client Jon Mahoney.
They worked the school together, and after a few medium-sized Yellas Fellas, their big brother enveloped a casted Jet Popper as both treble hooks found their homes.
Good thing too because monsters this size are known to rip the bearings right out of lesser plugs.
Looks like Ahi is back on the menu in Nosara! Great work by First Mate Alex and the wily hunter Captain William.

Paul Crevello and the Tampa boys were back on the Wanderer today and they piled the fishbox high with big Yellowfin Tunas. Here is just a sample of the yella fellas these guys bested:
Of course once you find feeder fish of this size, it is only a matter of time before the billfish swarm in on the prey. This Sailfish was no match for the mighty Wanderer and was released around 1:30pm.
Paul and the boys are only halfway through their four-day fishing frenzy so lets hope the bite stays strong for these guys.

Client Marion Lawler III is on vacation in Costa Rica with his family and chartered the Wanderer for a 6.5 hour offshore excursion. These experienced Texas anglers turned in a magnificent performance on the FishingNosara flagship.
This Sailfish lit up the spread just after 12 o’clock and put on quite a show for young Mr. Lawler; the expression on this lads face shows what big-time sportfishing is all about.
Captain William kept this monster on a short leash with his masterful boat handling skills while First Mate Alex expertly directed the safe release.
The billfish vanished around 1:30, but over on the Explorer Captain David radioed in that he had found a large school of feeding porpoises. Captain William followed his hunch and fell in next to a pod of spinning porpoises, knowing that they would lead the Wanderer to a pot of Yellowfin gold.
Sure enough around 3pm this HUGE Yellowfin tuna was hooked up and it was Marion’s other son on the reel this time.
A beautiful Sailfish release for the trophy case and about 40lbs. of Yellowfin for the dinner table…that’s about a perfect day for Team Lawler!

Jacksonville anglers Jesus Pulido and Dianne Gregory has an outstanding trip on the Wanderer today. Dianne got things going early with this beautiful Pacific Sailfish release around 9:30am.
Great release by First Mate Alex on this true fish of a lifetime!
This posse then set about filling the fishbox with fresh filets and found these excellent Yellowfin Tunas in a school offshore. They had several simultaneous hook-ups and ended up with four monsters on ice, plus they added a Dorado for good measure.
“Clean-up, needed in the fish department.”
Once again the Wanderer turns in an off-the-charts for this Duval county group on just a 5 hour half-day!

Dennis Paul has a habit of catching gigantic fish down in here in Nosara and on his third trip of the week he added a new species to his scorecard: BIG Yellowfin Tunas.
Captain William set the Wanderer far offshore (15 miles) to find the blue water and once the big blue beauty found the blue water the bite was on. Dennis caught a total of five Yella Fellas ranging in weight from 25lbs. – 40 lbs. All Yellowfin fight the same way no matter their size and these lunkers skyrocketed and zigzagged with the same velocity as their smaller brethren.
Only with the right combination of boat, tackle, and angler could these monsters find their way to the fishbox.
Excellent work once again from Dennis Paul and the flagship Wanderer.

Client John Baumgart and his wife set off on their first of three fishing trips with FishingNosara on June 22. They chose the mighty Wanderer for their inaugural trip and within the first hour of trolling were rewarded with this mammoth Yellowfin Tuna.
First Mate Alex put out the billfish spread and around 11am a big mean Pacific Sailfish had gulped the hook and was pulling against Mr. Baumgart with all of its strength.
All eyes were on John as he slowly won back line from the monster and brought her alongside the Wanderer. Captain William displayed his mastery of boat handling as he cut off this creature’s attempts to outflank the flagship.
Good game, shake hands.
As always this billfish was safely released and we look forward to catching her another day. Great start to the week for Team Baumgart.
