2025 Ship of Fools Tournament Recap

The 2025 Ship of Fools Tournament was held in Playa Garza in late March. As usual the whole community was fired up with 14 boats on the scoreboard.

All five FishingNosara boats were in the hunt, and the big battleshipย Discoverer added to the trophy case with a third place finish.

Great work by our dear friend Sloan Rogers and his fun-loving group of Carolina anglers

Theย Wanderer andย Harvester were hot on their heels with several sweet billfish releases on the scoreboard.

Theย Harvester also added this Calcutta-worthy Yellowfin Tuna.

Even the 23-footย Adventurer was in the mix, with some early billfish releases on day 1.

Congratulations to all the boats who participated in a lovely weekend of fishing…can’t wait until next year!

GRAND SLAM ALERT!!!!!

FishingNosara Hall of Famer Sloan Rogers has struck again! This wonderful Blue Marlin/Black Marlin/Sailfish release day is truly one for record books:

Captain Wilson has found his footing at the helm of the People’s Championย Harvester.

Sloan Rogers is already booked to be on theย Harvester for the upcoming Ship of Fools Tournament in late-March, and if he can duplicate this kind of performance then all the other boats will be fighting for second place.

Sloan Rogers sent his boys out fishing on the Harvester to get warmed upย  for the tournament, and they pulled off FishingNosara’s first ever Quintuple Sailfish release.

This simulatneous battle put the ability of Mate Wilson and Captain Alex to the test, yet they kept the lines from tangling and safely revived and released all five fish.

Amazing work by the unstoppableย Harvester.

Theย Harvester battled a bunch of billfish with angler Sloan Roger’s group on the 13th. The highlight of their blue-water battles was this big Black Marlin release.

This monster Marlin release was the finale of a trip that also included a swarm of Sailfish releases.

Mate Wilson and Captain Alex had their hands full with these airborne Sailfish.

Great work by the mega panga and Sloan Rogers’ group!
