Returning Hall of Famers Bill Harris, Brady Harris and Elie Bedran are back and they brought fellow anglers Scott Cox, Mark Scott and his dad Lee Scott along for this Costa Rica Fishing adventurer.

The mighty Wanderer was the chosen vessel as Captain William set out for Sailfish City.

First Mate Alex put out an irresistible spread that courted five Sailfish releases.

ย I meant ‘irresistible’ to Sailfish, buddy.

“Craig, wow what a fantastic day. 5 sails, 2 mahi.” Mark writes. “Great day, action was great plus 5 strikes and 2 billfish up on the teasers.
Dude what a day, I got to see my dad at 70 get to reel in his first billfish..priceless.”

“Thanks for giving us this opportunity.”

This group of Tampa Bay anglers also scored a couple of nice Dorados, highlighted by this deck sweeper:

These guys have two more full days of action planned and we are all stoked to see what they haul in next.

Charlie and the boys kept the pedal to the metal on the Wanderer with a fantastic outing that included SIX Sailfish releases and a beefy Dorado for the refrigerator.

Captain William found the Sailfish were thick as cordwood just a few miles out, and First Mate Alex put out an irresistible spread for the monsters.

Great safe releases on all six fish, but this big Dorado ain’t going anywhere except on ice!

 

Exceptional fishing from the King of Garza Bay.

Captain David has made life miserable for the local Sailfish populations this week, much to his clients’ delight. Check out this array of bad Sails:

Nice fish-handling by Mate Kevin means that these released monsters will be back for more action really soon.

The Discoverer also scored this nice Dorado; almost as green as the inshore water in the backround.

Andrew Queral and Doug Dickman got off their week of Costa Rica fishing off to a blazing start! They notched theย Wanderer‘s scorecard with a big Dorado, several Sails, and a MASSIVE Marlin.

A nice pair of Sailfish were the highlight of the morning, and a mid-day Bonita catch led to First Mate Alex reaching deep into his bag of tricks:

The crew moved quickly to rig a hook to this Bonita and keep him alive in the Tuna Tubes…this bait was pitched into the spread when a big Black Marlin hit.

In the afternoon they accidentally hooked-up a small Shark and released it after the photo:

It wasn’t all releases, though; this floor-sweeping Dorado certainly melted a bit of ice and served as the cherry on top of a perfect day of fishing.

Kirk and Jan Wurster finished their fishing adventure on July 4 with a trip offshore; after besting Roosters and Snappers inshore the logical choice was to see what was biting in the blue water 10 miles out.

The early bite brought in this nice Dorado:

Later in the afternoon the line screamed off and Kirk belted up to battle a big Sailfish!

Excellent boat handling by Captain William kept the fight short and sweet while First Mate Alex ensured a safe release.

Boca Raton’s own Jim Baldwin signed up for 6.5 hours on the Adventurer and his investment of time was paid dividends of filets.

The hits came hard all day long, with the size of this Dorado and these Yellowfin rivaling the catches on the big boats.

We’ve said it a thousand times, but the big fish don’t care if you have a big boat…great work by the 23-foot switchblade.

Katrisha Seata blew into town for one night, stayed at Nosara Paradise Rentals and went straight to Garza for a full day of fishing on the battleship Discoverer.

The elected to stay near shore and check the bottom for reef-dwellers, and were rewarded with this mammoth Rainbow Snapper:

They also scored on Yellowfin Tuna and small Dorados.

Nice haul from the fish market by Captain David and the Discoverer.
