We always encourage folks to fish for full eight-hour days to maximize the chance of catching, but sometime people like Ben Merkley stick with the 5 hour half day and make fools of us all.
Captain Antonio and Mate Raffa scored an awesome Blue Marlin release, then added a Sailfish release:
Plus they scored a nice Dorado for the dinner table (lunch basket?) and were back on shore at noon. Incredible performance from the barroom brawler Explorer.
The Explorer and Steven Slack’s family had a blast on March 15 with Yellowfin Tuna an Dorado scores.
After refueling with fresh sushi, they battled and released this wonderful Sailfish:
Bill Forner was back on the Discoverer on the 15th and continued to score. This monster Yellowfin Tuna was the catch of the day:
They also iced a few Dorados and released a pair of Sailfish.
The Tedrick family (Dan, Ivy, Davis and Henry) joined the mighty flagship on March 15 and scored this nice Sailfish release.
They also scored a bunch of Dorados.
These spinning dolphins led the way, and the mighty Wanderer stayed busy all day.
“Captain William and Elias were an awesome team and gave our family the experience of a lifetime on the Wanderer,” Dan wrote in an email. “First class operation.”
On March 14, Matt Holmes’ group had a blast on the Harvester highlighted by this beautiful Sailfish release:
They scored a Yellowfin Tuna and Dorado for the dinner table. Excellent performance by Captain Wilson and the mega panga.
The Harvester scored two Dorados, three Yellowfin Tunas, and a Sailfish release on March 13 with angler Bill Forner.
Ben Bobowski’s group made memories on March 11 with the Wanderer reporting a nice Sailfish release backed up with several tasty Dorados.
On March 11, the Discoverer welcomed Tanya Krasauskas’ group for this excellent Sailfish release:
They also brought home Dorados for the dinner table. Excellent day on the big battleship!
Longtime FishingNosara angler Ken Strickler had a nice day on the Harvester on March 10.
This Sailfish release was backed up with a nice Dorado for the filet bag.
Our old friend George Shipley posted a fantastic fishing day on March 2 with the Explorer reporting a nice Sailfish release and big Dorados on ice.
George wrote us this nice note after the trip:
As we wrap up week 2 and now on the countdown to heading home next Wednesday, I just wanted to say thanks for everything. As always, the fishing nosara : Paradise rentals team are outstanding and have taken care of our every need. Casa Bianca #4 is going to be added to our list of favourites.
I also want to acknowledgement and seriously compliment the boys on the explore. Antonio and first mate Raffa really took care of me yesterday and worked hard to find some action. All in we hooked 4 Mahi’s, including the attached photo. She’s a beauty!! … and we were able to kick off the day with a nice Sailfish.
Anyway, thank you from the Shipley’s for another great year!!!
