Nosara Paradise Rentals GM Javier Hernandez and Cheif Engineer Marino Lora brought their families along for a refreshing day of offshore fishing on February 12.
Theย Wanderer reports several Sailfish releases and a nice Dorado for the fishbox.
After a year of hardships, it’s great to see the ‘Pura Vida‘ spirit alive and well in Nosara.
Theย Explorer performed brilliantly on February 9 with Norman Lindsey scoring a very challenging Double Sailfish release.
This would be the clear-cut highlight for most trips, but Norman also nagged a wonderful 50+lbs. Dorado.
“I just wanted to say how impressed I was with your captain and mate, and the entire experience,” Norman wrote to us via email. ‘Everything was top notch, and my wife and I had a blast!”
Shane Whealton finished off his week of fishing in style on February 8 with theย Harvesterย reporting a 71lbs. Dorado catch; this is clearly the largest of the year so far.
This big bad bull hit two different baits, but the mega panga’s crew calmly coordinated the fight to prevent tangles.
The Whealton boys were joined by FishingNosara’s Northeast Rep Mark Cooney for this fishin’ mission. Their scorecard was marked up with multiple Sailfish releases.
Busy day for Mate Wilson overseeing the releases of these monsters.
Great work by theย Harvester and her crew!
Captain Alex welcomed anglers from the Adam O’Keil group on February 6 and posted a banner day of blue water action.
On the way out to the blue water they nagged some small feeder fish, then stepped up the main attraction.
This Marlin release is a truly world-class angling acheivment. Safely handled and relesed by Captain Alex so we can count on battling this beautiful billfish again soon.
Theย Harvester was attacked by swarms of Sailfish throughout the trip.
These billfish were fired up and ready for action; what a blessing for these Canadian anglers.
Captain William welcomed David Schwertner to theย Wanderer on February 5 for a fun day of offshore action.
Several sweet Sailfish releases dotted the scorecard, and a swarm of low-flying Dorados filled the fishbox.
Theย Discovererย was excited to welcome back Ted Markow’s family for a return trip to the blue water.
Just like their trip last year, Team Markow did great. They enjoyed a fun Sailfish release, then nagged big Dorados.
They also battled a Blue Marlin but it spit the hook before it could be billed.
“Kevin and Carlos know what they are doing,” wrote Ted. “I watched Kevin prepping the equipment and bait on the ride out. He pays attention to details. Carlos sees the fish when they are going after the attractors. Kevin brings the bait close to the fish in order to hook them. They did not miss many fish.”
“What great memories for my 15 year old and 11 year old daughters. Not may 15 year old girls can say they fought a 200lb plus blue marlin for almost 30 minutes.”
“Great times!”
Captain William welcomed Grant Hawes and his group of South Carolina anglers for a fantastic day of action on January 19.
This Sailfish releases was backed up with a nice array of Dorados.
This big hoss was the highlight of the day; when Captain William gets in the photo, you know its a big catch.
Great work by the flagshipย Wanderer!

Excellent work by Captain William.
John Egan’s group lit it up on the Harvester,ย scoring a swarm of Sailfish releases.
Mate Wilson put in a big day of work, safely handling and releasing all of this marine monsters.
All these trophy release can work up one’s appetite, but fortunately this Dorado will fill up the tired bellies of this crew.
On January 5 John Egan’s group joined Captain Alex , and he took the Harvester offshore for a duel in Sailfish City.
The day’s scorecard was dotted with hook-ups and releases, including some multiple strikes.
For the dinner table they added several Dorado including this floor-sweeper.
Excellent work by the mega panga!
