Captain David has blown down the walls of Sailfish City this season and the Super panga’s catch numbers are keeping pace with the bigger boats. His trip on March 13 with client Robert Wood featured five big Sailfish releases and a 50+lbs. Dorado on ice.

Mate Kevin is turning into a fish-handling machine; he brought these billfish in and out of the boat with the smooth skill of a Mate with twice his years.

Most amazing of all is that all this action came on just a 5 hour trip…who knows what could’ve gone down with a full eight hours?

Great work by Garza’s fastest rising stars: Captain David and Mate Kevin!

Matt Rich and his party joined the Super Panga for a half-day trip to the blue water, and immediately got the decks bloody with respectable 25lbs. Dorado.

With the appetizer on ice, the main course was served in the form of three big Sailfish releases.

Great work by Mate Kevin to wrangle these monsters for clean, safe releases.

Captain David is on top of his game and we can’t wait to see what surprises the Explorer has in store.

John and Liz Rozas have returned to Nosara and they are primed up for some big time action with their main man Captain David. These hard-fishing folk hail from New Jersey and they got the action going quick with some sweet Sailfish releases:

Captain David kept them in the thick of the action all day and Mate Kevin hooked these bad boys with great precision.

Check out the sweet fish handling by the Rozas on these Sailfish.

Fantastic action for FishingNosara Hall of Famer George Shipley on the Explorer. Waaaaaaay back in February 2011 Mr. Shipley earned enshrinement with the first double billfish day in the history on the then-new Super Panga.

Looks like he remembered the formula!


This double release was the highlight of the day that also featured a three solo Sailfish releases:

Plus a real nice Wahoo:

Add a late-day Dorado and you have a feast for the Hall of Famer.

Excellent work by Captain David and Mate Kevin to deliver the goods for this awesome angler.

Another day, another six Sailfish releases for client Hendrik Engel. We first met Mr. Engel when he snagged some Sailfish with Captain David on Christmas Day, but this time the presents were really piled around the tree!

The best part is that this swarm of Sails was released in just five hours of fishing.

Great fishing handling as usual by Mate Kevin, who is showing off our newest piece of FishingNosara gear.

These Incite Brands Hi-Tek Dri-Fits are all the rage in Nosara now…make sure to snap yours up before we run out of the initial batch!

The Explorer is on fire right now and we know to always expect amazing action from the 26-foot Super panga.

Awesome work by Captain David on the legendary Explorer.

On March 3rd we welcomed back our new friend Hendrik Engel for another three rounds of billfish bouts.

This lovely Sailfish was a sign of good things to come as Mr. Engel really gathered up the release on the 5th.

Hendrik has only been fishing with us for about 6 months but he already has a reputation for lighting up the scoreboard every time he goes out.

Joe Rodriguez had a magnificent day on the Explorer as Captain David navigated the Super panga through a gauntlet of big fighting fish.

Nancy got in on the action too with a nice Sail release!

Here’s the email we got from Joe:

Hello Craig,

“I just wanted to send you an email and thank you for the top notch charter. David and his deckhand [Kevin] on the Explorer were great.”
“They are very focused, knowledgeable, and easy going. The boat was absolutely spotless! They obviously take great pride in what they do and represent FishingNosara very well.”

“The fishing was great as well. We landed 5 sailfish (1 at the leader and 4 at the boat) in a spectacular day of fishing.”

Thanks again,
Joe
