Our good friends Nora Nolan and Neil Jerome returned to the Wanderer in search of more bottom fishing accomplishments to add to their legend, and they did see some rod-bending action.
Looks like a boatload of fun as always for these SoCal clients.
Client Michael and his lady joined the famous Wanderer crew for a 2.5 hour sunset cruise on April 1. The always-reliable planer / spoon rig reported a strike as this couple was enjoying the pleasant surroundings and a pair of Jack Crevelle ended up in the fishbox.
Sunset cruises are a great way to get a taste of Costa Rican sportfishing without committing to a whole day on the water, and when you are on the flagship you can rest easy that somthing fishy will end up on the hooks.
They caught a few Jack Crevelles and a pair of tasty Mullet Snappers; excellent eating for the dinner table!
Excellent inshore action from a boat that is just as good for families as for hardcore anglers.
Brian Justice and his family enjoyed a full day on the Wanderer and since the billfish were scarce early in the trip, Captain William pointed the flagship inshore and cleaned-up on a wide array of species.
They started with a handful of Jack Crevelles, then graduated up the tastiness scale to the delectable White Tuna.
Finally their time was rewarded with a world-class hunk of table fare known as the Mullet Snapper! The meat on these fellas looses its density once the fish grown over 25lbs, so we usually don’t get excited about them. However these little fellas yield a flaky, lobster-like meat that it hard to top.
Looks like some folks have a few awesome meals in their future thanks to the unshakable Wanderer.
The unstoppable Explorer is back on the water and that spells trouble for all the fish on our inshore reefs. Captain David and Mate Carlos welcomed Scott’s group for a great day inshore with a wide variety of filets showing up in the fishbox.
They started with a few hard-fightin’ Jack Crevalles, then buried the hook into this tasty White Tuna:
There are few fish in this area that can rival the White Tuna when it comes to great sushi, but the Cierro Mackerel is one of those rare delicacies.
Scott’s group finished off the day with a fantastic Cierro, charmed aboard no doubt by Mate Carlos donning the newly-discovered lucky fishing wig. Great addition to the tackle arsenal, Scott!
James Petter brought the whole family for a quick 2.5 hour trip on the Wanderer. They stayed inshore and caught an array of fish including some small Dorados, tasty White Tunas, and a big ole Jack Crevelle.
Another super family outing on the Wanderer; everyone caught fish and got hooked up with big smiles!
Waynes Estes and his son Trevor were back on the Wanderer today and were determined to hunt the reef dwellers. Trevor caught the first fish of the day, this rare and elusive Blue Jack Crevelle.
In fact the Jacks were thick all day as the Estes’ boys mopped up the Crevalles.
Check out Wayne’s old-school FishingNosara T-shirt…this ain’t no first timer folks!
The action heated up in a major way in the afternoon as not one, not two, but THREE Roosterfish found the hooks. This comes on the heels of the Wanderer‘s double Rooster day last week.
Fantastic work by this Jacksonville-based Father and son fishing team!
All three pez gallo were released safely and we look forward to catching them many more times.
Today was a very productive half day outing for Jeff Saint on the nimble new Adventurer. They set up shop just outside of Garza Bay and found fertile fishing grounds over a piece of floating debris.
Jeff pulled five Dorados and eight Bonitas from under the driftwood and then Captain Carlos took them a little further inshore and deployed a scaled-down version of the devastating Planer / Spoon rig (see right side of photo). This tasty Jack Crevelle was the result.
Captain Carlos is a hungry fisherman who squeezes every drop of action out of his fishing days. Another great wall-to-wall report from the hard-charging Adventurer.
Great morning of snorkeling and fishing on the Adventurer today. This couple nailed a nice Jack Crevalle, and then enjoyed the undersea vistas around the Pink Island.
Captain Carlos delivers another peaceful morning on the Adventurer.
Our great friend Jeff Bickel is back in Nosara for several days of fishing this week and he brought a whole posse of good folks from South Georgia. They left the wives to hang out by the pool while they set the hooks into some great tasting bottom fish.
Highlighted by a huge Jack Crevalle and a nice Red Grouper, these boys really hit the fish hard this week.
