Bobby Wilkeson nabbed a gargantuan Cubera Snapper on the 13th on board the mighty flagship Wanderer.
Recent onshore rains have swelled the inshore reefs with cool water washing down the mountains, and it seems to have significantly improved the inshore bite.
Good day of action for Bart Stephens and his family on the 30th.
The early scores were small Dorado and Red Groupers.
The late afternoon bite yielded a true whopper…check out this giant Cubera Snapper.
Lynda Koehn filled the refrigerator with tasty Snapper filets, thanks to the effort of Captain Alex on the Harvester.
The mega panga had been hunting Cubera Snapper all week with Craig with lots of near-misses…looks like persistence pays!
Great work by the ‘Never Surrender’ Harvester!
Our new friend Ben Smith brought his two sons along for a freewheeling afternoon of fun on the 23rd, punctuated by a big stack of filets.
This Yellowfin Tuna and Cubera Snapper yield two of the most desirable meats in all of fishing.
Great work by Captain Fico to put theses fellas on the fish.
Our new friendย Steve Janson posted excellent results trip with the Wanderer.
Captain William took it inshore where they iced a pair of pretty Cubera Snappers.
Captain David welcomed some new friends from the nation of France for an action-packed five day campaign on the Adventurer.
It’s definitely a good sign to see these Yellowfin Tuna this close to shore.
Stephane Venant, Tim Capsek, and Camille Chombart we prepared for inshore battle; take a look at Stephane’s traveling arsenal:
Clearly the fish weren’t prepared for these hard-fighting Frenchmen!
Big Snappers were also lurking on the reefs, and they were no match for Stephane:
The week ended on a high note with this excellent Rooster Fish release…they had been looking for an elusive pez gallo all week and finally scored on the last day of fishing:
The Explorer plumbed the inshore reefs for a pair of tasty dinner-time scores…the first was this excellent Cubera Snapper:
Then they followed up with a beefy Broomtail Grouper. Great work by Captain Fico and teh barroom brawler Explorer.

It’s the rainy season right now, but that didn’t stop Ron Lard and his team of Virginia-based anglers from braving the elements for three days, conquering a wide variety of inshore species.
Captain Alex and Mate Kevin performed fearlessly in the face of the rain, guaranteeing a fun, safe, productive run of trips.
Here’s what Mr. Lard wrote in an email:
Craig,
“Just wanted to let you know that my group and I (weather not withstanding) had a great time in Nosara. The housing was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Your staff was pleasant and took very good care off us.”
“Although the weather didn’t cooperate with our stay, Cpt. Alex and Kevin managed to get us out the three days and found fish.”
“We all highly recommend your company.”
Regards,
Ron Lard
Rusty McClain, our new friend from Texas, stayed inshore on the 4th and boated a HUGE Cubera Snapper.
Tasty Snapper filets coming right up, along with a side order of sandwich-sized Dorado:
Javier and some of the Nosara Paradise Rentals staff put up the “Gone Fishing” sign in the office and take the afternoon to enjoy some family fishing on the Wanderer.
Dario nabbed this sandwich-sized Dorado, and then Yosef boated a nice Cubera Snapper.
However the boys were beat out by this monster Snapper:
Meanwhile over on the Explorer Captain Fico celebrated his birthday with his young son bending a rod with this Yellowtail Snapper:
Great family fun for the staff!
