On July 7, Texas angler Stephanie Gawlik’s group turned in a great scorecard on the Wanderer.
A great Sailfish release set the table for a day full of great Yellowfin Tuna action.
What better way to replenish than fresh Yellowfin Tuna Sushi?
The flagship Wanderer enjoyed a beautiful day on the water on March 1. These members of the Barry group nabbed a Dorado and a pair of nice Yellowfin Tunas.
Captain Alex and the Harvester continued his hot streak with Andre Miller’s group scoring a mountatin of nice Dorados.
Jason Frelich’s group started their week with a BIG Dorado, then scored a swarm of Sailfish releases, and on their final trip scored the biggest Yellowfin Tuna of the season so far.
We can’t undestate how unusual it is to find big Yellowfins this time of year. What a blessing!
Earlier in the trip they scored this wonderful Rooster Fish release inshore.
Amazing job my Mate Wilson, Captain Alex, and the unbeatable Harvester.
Hey Craig,
I was part of the Frelich group that hauled in the 200 lb+ Yellowfin Tuna, which I must say I’m still enjoying. This was our 2nd vacation with Fishing Nosara and you and your team did not disappoint. I just wanted to relay a few things about our stay that really stood out.
This was our first time staying on the Fishing Nosara property, which is beautifully maintained tropical paradise “Paradise Rentals” is a good name, having the cart at our disposal made getting around a breeze. The pool and breakfast area really beautiful, tropical and needed after a long day of reeling in fish.
From the shuttles to and from the airport, to fishing, to anything we wanted was terrific and super punctual with no worries.
We went horse back riding one day, and the tour was fabulous. We had a lunch with the locals and it was delicious.
The fishing. We fished with Alex and Wilson, on the Fishing Nosara Super Panga all 3 days. I must say that Alex has super fish finding radar like a superhero. He is fishing excellence and partnering with Wilson make them a great 1-2 punch. On our 3 days fishing we caught 10 of 11 Sailfish, 28 lb Dorado, a 48 lb Rooster Fish (my prize catch) and fought the mighty 200 lb + Yellowfin for nearly 4 hrs. it made our several other tuna we caught in the 25lb range look like bait. Kudo’s go’s to our mighty fisherwoman “T” who fought the beast for over 2 hrs making the last 2 hrs an easy catch for Robbie her first mate.
Our over all experience with your accommodations, personnel and fishing was 5 star. Thank you again and hope to return soon.

On March 4, we welcomed Jason Frelich’s group for the first day of a three-day offshore campaign. The highlight of the trip was this monster Dorado
Throughout the day, the Harvester was beset by hard-charging Sailfish. Several multiple hookups with safe releases all around.
Some small Yellowfin Tunas rounded out the haul; what a great start to the week for Team Frelich.
On March 3, Jill Waldon and her group scored a pair of Sailfish on the Discoverer.
This family also scored a pair of Dorados for the dinner table.
The Discoverer welcomed some ladies from the Yoga Paradise Retreat led by Beverly Brown, Belinda Taylor, and Carla Kemp on February 21.
Several nice Sailfish releases provided great memories for this group.
Also they nagged this excellent Dorado for the dinner table.
Big fish and big smiles is what we love to see!
Fish Tacos anyone?
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.
The 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 Fico posted a banner day with Lauren Frederick’s group on the 27th. An early Sailfish release was a great way to start the trip.
Throughout the day swarms of Yellowfin Tunas came running through the spread, and the super panga was ready to catch them.
The kept five big Yellowfin Tunas ranging from 30lbs. – 40lbs.
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 flagship Wanderer!
