Tom and Tammy Clymer had a boatload of fun fishing inshore with Captain William on the Wanderer. Our tactic is to stir up a feeding frenzy on one of our inshore reefs, hoping to coax one of the big bottom dwellers out from his hiding spot in the ocean floor.

The trick to this kind of fishing is perseverance and patience; the fish of a lifetime won’t be the first one on the hook, but if you invest the time over a good spot then the monster will come calling. Tammy got the action fired up with this nice Jack Crevelle.

Then young Misses Clymer added another Jack Crevelle:

This activity combined with a few Bonitas getting recycled into the water by First Mate Alex’ knife, this area was bound to yield something big.

Something hit Tom Clymer’s line like a wrecking ball and bent the rod over like a bullwhip.

What was this tiny water disturbance hiding?

BOOM!

Great work by the Clymer family in executing this bottom fishing attack strategy with the unstoppable Captain William.

Captain Carlos welcomed John Timmerman to the Adventurer for a combination fly-fishing / bottom fishing trip. The fish weren’t fooled by the flies, however this GIANT Cubera Snapper could not resisted a double-hooked Bonita dropped to the bottom.

Whoa! That is a true sea monster…excellent work by the unstoppable Captain Carlos and the fearless Adventurer.

The Wanderer stayed inshore today as client David Schwertner had his sights set on big bottom fish. He is already in the FishingNosara Hall of Fame for some legendary catches on the Explorer late last summer, and he may just get in again based on this amazing catch:

Our new Poseidon rods were designed to withstand some big fishing action, and it is clear to say they passed this test:

That is one mammoth of a Cubera Snapper, even by our standards!

Add this monster to this nice little Broomtail grouper that he nabbed earlier in the trip and you got the receipe for lots of good-eatin’ for David Schwertner

Clifford Jordan had a stellar day on board the Explorer with a scorecard that can be defined as the perfect day of charter fishing.

They started off inshore and immediately put these two whopping Dorados in the fishbox.

Then Captain David pointed the barroom brawler off-shore early in the trip and they spend the morning getting hammered by Sailfish.

Great releases by Captain Carlos (of the Adventurer) to ensure the safe survival of all of these catches.

In the afternoon they returned inshore in search of more filets, and were rewarded with this giant Cubera Snapper.

For a victory lap they added this Yellowfin tuna…three kinds of filets plus several trophy releases? That’s what I call a perfect day!

David Grandell and his boy were throwing haymakers at all comers with Captain Carlos on the Adventurer! They started out with a big Dorado:

Then set to work on a team of football-sized Yellowfinย  Tuna.

For the knockout punch they landed this whopping Cubera Snapper.

Great work by the 23-foot switchblade the Adventurer!

Nosara Paradise Rentals GM, Fuppernos presidente, and Mayor of Nosara Javier Hernandez took to the seas today on the Wanderer.

Flanked by Chief Mechanic Marino, Driver Primero Freddy, and Mate Kevin (of the Explorer), Senor Javier released an awesome Sailfish just a few miles from shore.

Nice work by Mate Kevin on the rope-n’-release!

Javier’s got a family to feed, so after the trophy release he dropped a bait to the reefs and hauled in this big Cubera Snapper.

All in a day’s work for the Mayor!

Record Smashing day on the Adventurer today!

Client Michael Quigley and his lady started their trip with a MASSIVE Sailfish released just two miles from shore.

They followed up with a GIANT Snapper…we think it is a Cubera but we have never seen this shade of red before; perhaps is is a Mangrove Snapper but who cares? Look at the size of this beast:

They rounded out the trip with a gaggle of Yellowfin Tunas on ice.

This is the kind of day we expect from big offshore battle wagons, but the amazing Captain Carlos is coaxing this kind of action very close to shore in a 23-foot vessel; we can’t wait to see what the switchblade pries up next!

Justin Morris and his girl hit on four different species of tasty fish with Captain Carlos on the Adventurer.

This beefy Dorado was the first catch of the day, but by no means was the biggest…get a load of this 30lbs. Cubera Snapper:

They rounded out the day with a perfect-for-sushi Yellowfin Tuna and the elusive Yellowtail Snapper. Both of these fish add a fantastic variety to the dinner table.

Great work by Captain Carlos and the excellent 23-foot Adventurer.
