Joe Williams scored a trio of nice Sailfish on February 9, plus added a nice Dorado for the dinner table.
Outstanding work by Captain William to deliver these great fish on just a half day of fishing. Safe releases by First Mate Alex are the perfect ending to a great day on the water.
The Explorer welcomed Ohio anglers Kevin and Mary Ann Dineen for a landmark day of fish harvesting.
This foursome of fishermen got down to business quickly, with each party member scoring a Dorado early in the trip.
Then the monster Dorado came calling!
After this wad of Mahi-Mahi’s on ice, it’s easy to think that the Explorer would call it a day…but that ain’t how the barroom brawler gets down!
The final fish of the day was a MASSIVE Wahoo:
I think we need a bigger cooler…Amazing that this monster’s tail is almost still in the water!
Easily the biggest Wahoo of the year, this monster might weigh north of 70lbs.
Sheesh, the picture weighs 5 pounds!
Great work by the unstoppable Explorer!
Captain David on the Discoverer has been on a tear all month. Along with trusty Mate Juan Carlos the new battleship has scored victories on a wide array of Marlin and Sailfish. plus added lots of good eating fish for the filet bag.
This Marlin was a feisty fighter, clean released as usual by Mate Juan Carlos. The Sailfish have been coming into the spread in droves and Captain David has capitalized big time.
Finally, check out the girth on these Dorados and the numbers of these Tunas:
Great work by Captain David!
The Explorer delivered the goods for client Colin Pisano with a whole refrigerator full of fresh filets.
They snagged four Dorados (20lbs.-25lbs.) plus scored a quartet of White Tunas.
Dinner’s on!
It’s no secret that Nosara enjoys the closest proximity to the blue water in all of Costa Rica.
It may surprise you to learn that our specific stretch of ocean is so fertile and untouched that (when the money is on the line) million-dollar sportfishing teams make the trek from Los Suenos to try to score in our backyard.
So it turns out that this week is the Los Sueños Signature Triple Crown and look what turned up:
In just this one picture there are 13 other boats:
Think that all this competition would mean tough times for the flagship Wanderer?
Think again!
The Hogan Family scored like they were the only boat on the water, boasting multiple Sailfish releases backed up by big Dorados.
Got to admit it’s pretty cool watching Captain William and First Mate Alex fish circles around these so-called pros…just cause you got a big boat and money to burn doesn’t mean your a master!
Captain David is kicking billfish butt on the Discoverer and on the 18th client Robert Preston and his friends scored this impressive Striped Marlin:
A true fish of a lifetime by anyone’s standard!
They also scored this nice Dorado for the icebox:
Here’s what Bob had to say:
“Craig, our group had a great fishing experience during the week of January 18, 2015. Our group included 1 – 84 year old, 1 – 74 year old (me) 2 – 66 year old, 1 – 63 year old and a 41 year old. (Feel free to advertise in the AARP magazine.)
Fantastic work from the battleship Discoverer!
Captain Carlos and his brother Mate Kevin are using the Explorer to make a statement to the rest of the fishing community: You don’t need a big boat to catch big fish!
Check out this pair of awesome Sailfish releases:
Great safe releases by Mate Kevin underscored the professional excellence of this fraternal fishing team. Great work by the Explorer!
Doc Hatton and the boys put a whipping on some fat Dorados with Captain William on the Wanderer.
This brightly-colored fishing team from New Jersey got on the fish early and stayed strong all day long.
Later in the trip they discovered a school of nice Yellowfin Tuna between 25lbs.-40lbs.
Another day, another full filet bag from the mighty Wanderer.
Captain Scott Brownlee and his buddy Gene DiBetta took a whirlwind trip to Nosara where they fished three trips in three days…that’s Florida anglers for ya!
The Discoverer reports lots of great catches for this duo.
What’s even better is that these guys planned this trip four days before they arrived…when the fishing itch hits, you gotta scratch!
The Wanderer stayed close to shore on January 7 as client Randy Covey only had to travel 6 miles to score several Dorados and Sailfish.
Randy scored the first release at the beginning of the full day trip, breaking the ice for what would become a three Sailfish day.
This late day Dorado put the finishing touch on a great day on the water.
