The Discoverer welcomed back Rickie Crews and his group for a fun fishing campaign.
A nice Sailfish release was backed up a big Dorado.
These guys last joined us in February 2020; gotta love that he was among the last to fish before the pandemic and the first to fish since we’ve re-opened.
Our new friend Jack Beere travelled to Nosara all the way from merry old England, and they acquainted themselves nicely. The highlight of the trip was this MAMMOTH Yellowfin Tuna.
The rods stayed bent as the Discoverer dodged scatted rainshowers while staying on the bite.
These boys brought home a nice variety of Yellowfin Tunas and Dorados.
Craig finished his three-day campaign on the Harvester with a rod-bending day of action. Our chief mechanic Marino was on the real for this fun Dorado catch.
Later in the afternoon the mega panga hooked up a supercharged Sailfish.
This monster put on a show, but Mate Wilson got the leader and pulled him alongside. The Sailfish spit the hook and escaped safely with the last laugh.
The first day of the season filled the refrigerator with Yellowfin Tuna filets, so on the second day Craig and Javier went hunting for trophy fish.
Javier belted up for the first Sailfish of the day. This crazy beauty was darting back in forth above the water.
After a nice battle she was safely released as always.
Craig was next into the breach and waged an epic battle with a big Blue Marlin.
Dario Hernandez joined his father for this trip and snagged a few sandwich-sized Dorado filets.
This trip was also a training run for Mate Antonio, who most of our clients know as our panga boat driver; he will be assuming the mate’s role on the Explorer this year, and will be training with Captain Alex on the Harvester to continue improving his skills.
Virginia angler Danny Baker returned to Nosara and enlisted Captain David for a decadent day of blue water action. The highlight of the trip was this excellent Sailfish release.
They also scored a bunch of Dorados and Yellowfin Tunas for the dinner table.
