The battleship Discoverer found gold on its May 23 trip with anglers Rick Riley and David BiStarkey.
The rains early in the month has washed dead trees offshore, and wherever they float an entire marine ecosystem grows in their shadow.
Captain Carlos circled this tree for the better part of the day and piled the fishbox high with five 20lbs. Dorados and twenty 5lbs. Dorados…do the math on that one!
Some nice Yellowfin Tuna were also in the mix:
Great work by the big battleship!

Joseph Caveness and his family chose the Wanderer on May 18 and the family-friendly flagship scored a wide variety of fun fish.
Joe started the day with a nice 20lbs. Yellowfin Tuna and then the kids took over the reel, scoring this nice Dorado.
Captain William moved inshore in the afternoon and young Mr. Caveness scored a small Bonita and a nice Yellowfin.
This 25lbs. Wahoo provided more diversity tot the filet bag, and is a welcome surprise to find this close to shore.
The fish of the day was scored by Mama Bear in the form of this wonderful Rooster fish release.
All in all it’s a great day of family fun on the famous flagship!

FishingNosara Hall of Famer TJ Conrads returned to Nosara with his wife Robin along with Kevin and Karen Bahr. They chose the Wanderer and scored a boatload of sweet fish filets.
Captain William located a massive school of spinning porpoises and the fish were excited to escape the cetaceans…right into the flagship’s fishbox!
In all they scored six Yellowfin Tuna averaging 20lbs., three small Dorado and a nice 20lbs. Dorado.
Here is what Kevin posted on Facebook: “We went with Captain William and his assistant,

Kip and Diane Warner had a big day on the Wanderer punctuated with a couple of fantastic Sailfish releases.
Diane wrote us an email: “All your Staff was the Best they could be! What a Great Company! Thank you All so much making our vacation Awesome!!!”
The billfish releases were certainly highlights, however throughout the day the flagship also scored a half-dozen small Dorados, leading to a full fishbox of filets:

As the month continued our area was beset by gigantic meat fish.
Fighting these guys on Penn spinning tackle is a world of fun, and the filets are top-notch.
After this Yellowfin Tuna score, the Harvester dug in on one of the biggest Bull Dorados of the year to date.
This hatchet-headed monster was no match for the mega panga!

The Wanderer welcomed Jason Matherne’s group and over a two-day span they put a hurting on the local Sailfish. Joined by Ed and Pat Harrington, this “Cajun Crew” could not be stopped
Looks like everyone got a shot at their own behemoth.
Nice fish-handling by Mate Johnson to see all these billfish safely released.
In addition to these monster trophy fish releases, the flagship also nabbed some straggling Dorados.
Here is what Patrick had to say in an email:
“Please pass on to everyone behind the scenes our thanks and gratitude. We (the husbands) had a killer time fishing with both Capt. William & Capt. Carlos … you too, Antonio! We look forward to another trip (the husbands) in the future.”
PURA VIDA!!!

We are at that magical time of the season when the Dorados get scarce and are being replaced in the food chain by Yellowfin Tuna.
On his first day fishing client Floyd Teat caught a few straggling Dorados.
Then they notched the scorecard with a nice Sailfish release.
A few days later the telltale sign of feeding porpoises led the way to a school of Yellowfin Tunas.
A pair of Sailfish releases rounded out the trip for the Floyd Teat group.

We had a round of rainstorms come through the area during late April, meaning that all the trash discarded during the dry season came washing down the mountain to Garza Beach.
Captain William organized a group of Garza residents to patrol the beach and clean up the refuse.
Great work by the folks in Garza to preserve their lovely community.
To celebrate the day’s work, Captain William loaded up some of our friends from Nosara Terratours for an afternoon of inshore meat harvesting.
Later in the week it was back to business for the mighty Wanderer as several clients found fun-sized Dorados near to shore.
To close out the month, Captain William headed offshore with Shauna Duggar’s family for some sweet Sailfish action.
They closed out the week with a lovely inshore action, highlighted by this Cuberra Snapper score:
Also the low tide revealed the nearby Pink Island, so a few members of the group took a dip to visit this coral beach.
