Robert Scott and his son pulled in some real sea monsters on the Explorer with Captain David and Mate Kevin.
This family fishing mission saw the release two nice Sailfish.
Excellent work as usual by the baddest panga in the bay…the Explorer!
April Fools’ Day was no joke for client Curtis and Liz Coley! These guys put the chokehold on a swarm of Sailfish and didn’t let up until the big billfish tapped out.
Captain David tracked a feeding school of fish and that led to four big Sails on the trip, with Mate Kevin seeing to the safe release of all billfish.
These Jacksonville anglers showed off the dominance that has made Northeast Florida legendary in these waters.
“Dear Craig and Matty,”
“Curtis and I had a “once in a lifetime” trip to your place in Nosara! The fishing trips were fabulous with Capt. David & Kevin on the barroom brawler Explorer (10 sails total for Chuck) and Capt. Carlos on the “pocket knife” Adventurer. I caught 3 sails on the Explorer and five bonitas and one tuna on the Adventurer. What a special treat to see the beautiful reefs jut out of the Blue Pacific (which I had never seen before).”
“We also took a horseback ride with Rafael and had lunch with Jesus, his Mama. She prepared a delicious native lunch, and it was a pleasure meeting them both.”
“Also, Cumi, Marino, Javier and Ahias took great care of us! I would be remiss without saying how much we adored Freddie and Jenny, too. Freddie hauled us to and from the boats to Garza, Jenny did our laundry and cleaned up Casa Jardin during the week, and Jenny had fried chicken as a treat on one of our fishing trips. Everyone was very amenable to answering any questions we had. We put several miles on the Safari Cart, and our transfers to and from the San Jose airport were impeccable. One big happy family.”
“It was an amazing adventure which we will always cherish. You run a top-notch operation, and we will recommend Paradise Rentals & Fishing Nosara to anyone who is headed to Costa Rica. Best wishes in your future endeavors and your new boat, the Discoverer. Thanks again for everything!!”

Ken Russell, Brenda Russell, Larry Komenda and Misti Nolan kicked off a 5 day fishing adventurer with our team on March 30, and these New York anglers got acclimated to the Pacific blue water very quickly.
Right off the bat they had a fine Sailfish release backed up by a tasty 30lbs. Dorado.
Another great Sailfish release followed, and that was only the tip of the iceberg.
Even the less experienced angler can best a Sailfish on the Wanderer, thanks to Captain William’s calm demeanor on the controls and First Mate Alex’ touch in the cockpit.
They got a taste of a Double Sailfish hookup later in the day, however one of the high-flyers managed to spit the hook and escape capture:
Great work by this posse who still has a full week of fishing ahead of them.
Ken Abeles and his pal took to the seas on the mighty Wanderer and blistered a couple of high-flying Sailfish.
These Jersey boys showed a lot of angling ability to outwit these skyrocketing Sailfish.
Outstanding work by Captain William and First Mate Alex to deliver the goods for these excellent clients.
Mallory Haupt tore it up on the Explorer with Captain David and Mate Kevin on March 29. They got crackin’ with this excellent Sailfish release:
They would go on to add another wonderful Sailfish release, plus a tasty Dorado for the dinner table:
Great all-around performance from the 26-foot Super panga.
Jerome Elliot brought in a trio of nice Sailfish with Captain David on March 28. Look at these big fish and big smiles:
Everyone got into the act as Mate kevin saw to safe billfish releases all around.
Great work by the Explorer!
Mark Niegro brought his boys offshore for a little blue water action with Capatain David on the Explorer.
Nice work by this young angler on a really nice Sailfish release!
March 27 was a Banner day for Billfish on the mighty Wanderer. John Koons and his swamp posse was back on board the blue beauty for a day that would see several Sailfish released and one MASSIVE Marlin!
Once again the most junior members of the crew broke the ice with a pair of excellent Sailfish releases before turning the rod over to the big boys.
At 1pm the boys pulled off a slick Double Sailfish release:
Everyone scored a Sailfish release, but the highlight of the trip came around 3pm.
This big Black Marlin took a lure and tried to run away with it, but Team Koons wasn’t hearing any of that!
After a vigourous 20 minute fight the whole team lined up for a picture with nature’s toughest predatory fish.
First Mate Alex finished the safe release with his signature move: a small kiss on the bill for this deadly pelagic!
Excellent work by the crew of the famous Wanderer to safely release this fish-of-a-lifetime!
Darren Cook blew the billfish out of the water today on the Wanderer with Captain William.
Sailfish were attacking the spread throughout the trip and every angler got a taste of the action.
Captain William put on a boat handling clinic as he kept the blue beauty out in front of the bills all day long. This late-day Double Sailfish Release was the apex of the action:
Great releases by First Mate Alex and these excellent anglers.
Darren Cook and his son knocked out a pair of aggressive billfish today on the mighty Wanderer.
Young Mr. Cook strapped in to battle a Sailfish that charged the boat so hard it almost passed by Captain William’s helm station.
After the safe release, Darren found himself in a fight with a day-glo Striped Marlin.
