On the 19th, the Explorer welcomed Rob Youngman and his family for a quick five-hour trip to the blue water, and the 28-foot fighter knocked out several sweet Sailfish releases.
Even on a short day the Explorer delivers the goods!

The white-hot billfish bite continued on July 19 with Captain Alex reporting a mammoth day for anglerย Steve Balz and his boys. This monster Blue Marlin was the highlight of the trip:
The Marlin was backed-up by this great Sailfish release:
Of course the boys didn’t go home empty-handed, as a squad of tasty Dorados found their way to the fishbox.
Awesome work by the mega panga Harvester.

Brady Ballard brought his posse from Austin, TX for a packed week of action on the blue water with Captain William running the gamut of fish on July 17.
This early-morning Sailfish release was quickly followed up by a variety of tasty table fare.
First a big Dorado, then a pack of Yellowfin Tunas…looks like dinner is served!
A big monster came late in the day. This monster Blue Marlin is a true warrior and it took the best boat in Central America to capture and release her.
Great work by the mighty Wanderer.

The Discoverer kept the good times rolling with Brent Louviere’s group scoring several sweet Sailfish releases on the 18th.
Nice fish handling by Mate Kevin means that these monsters will be around for more duels in the future.
Great work by the big battleship!

The Sherley/Jasak team continued their hot streak on the 15th with more great Sailfish action.
A pair of Sailfish releases got the party started, and then a MASSIVE Blue Marlin showed up looking for a fight.
Great work by Mate Johnny, Captain William, and this fun-loving group of Florida anglers
We got this great email once they got home:
“Craig,”
“I returned last week from my trip to Nosara. Chet Jasak had booked the trip for us over a year and a half ago and it was great to finally get to go fish with your team in Costa Rica. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed the trip and will recommend Fishing Nosara to everyone.
“One of the guys we took fishing with us has ALS and his mobility and strength are not the best. Both Captain William and Captain Francisco really accommodated us so that we were able to help our friend Bob land both a Sailfish and Marlin.”
“Bob was a diver and commercial fisherman in his earlier years, we are all 71 or older, and as he said this was probably his last chance to catch a Sailfish or Marlin and Captains William and Francisco made it happen.”
“If Francisco wanted to he could have ended our day earlier but he hung in and we got the Sailfish at the end of the day. Captain William had to work the Wanderer over and over to keep the Marlin in position so Bob and I could get it landed. These men and their crew (Johnny and Elias) are much more than just employees, they have heart and your are blessed to have them on your staff.”

Lee Ann Martin was on the receiving end of great fishing action with multiple fun catches on the Harvester.
These nice (but blurry) Sailfish release shots were saved by the fact that Gail Burton took her own pictures…this is why it’s always smart to bring your own camera.
Later the group belted up for a bunch of Yellowfin Tuna catches.
Multiple simultaneous hook up led to several nice specimens on ice.
“We had the best time fishing yesterday!” Lee Ann sent us in an email. “Our Captain Alex was amazing! We caught lots of tuna & my sister got to reel in a sail fish!”
