Kathleen Clarke came to us as a novice angler, but after her trip on the Discoverer she has cut her teeth as a big-time blue water angler.

These Sailfish put on a great show and the releases were quick and easy.

She wrote us a very nice email:

“Just wanted to let you know that we had an incredibly amazing time on our fishing trip.  I don’t think that it could have been any better.  Captain Carlos and Kevin were stellar – I would highly recommend that crew to anyone. ”

“All 5 in our party caught fish and we were not expecting to.  Kevin kept the boat very clean and tidy and made sure that we all had everything that we needed.  Lunch was excellent also, as was the fruit.  We caught a mix of mahi-mahi and sailfish. We saw porpoises and turtles too.”

“Thanks so much!!!”

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!”

Bob Zuniga’s group nabbed the fish of a lifetime on July 11 with this strong Striped Marlin release on July 11.

Later on in the trip they added a nice White Tuna…a rare find this far offshore.

Here’s what Bob had to say in an email: “I just wanted to take the time to let you and your staff know that my group and I had the time of a lifetime! From the fishing, to the breakfast and all of the accommodations, we enjoyed every second we spent at your paradise! Your staff took customer service to the next level and the fishing is unlike I have ever encountered in the world. I just wanted to again send you my thanks and on behalf of my group… PURA VIDA!!! Robert Zuniga”

Paul Worthington kept his hot streak going with a fantastic follow-up performance on July 10.

A nice Sailfish was backed up by a delicious-looking Dorado. Great work by the Discoverer.

Here’s what Paul wrote in an email when he got back:

“Just a note to let you know we had a great time in Nosara. As always your local staff were knowledgeable, accommodating and  professional. From Marias breakfast to the guys in the office, along with those behind the scenes it was a positive experience!”

“I can’t say enough about Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin, so glad they have been reunited as a team! The fishing was good this time, but not great ! However I have been spoiled with great fishing in Nosara so many times my expectations are too high. I have fished around the world, but my number one destination has become Nosara…with FishingNosara.”
“Thanks to you and your staff.”

Jeff Broome posted the trip of the year so far with Captain Alex on June 11. First off was a true Double Sailfish release.

After the safe release of both fish, they added a third Sailfish for good measure.

Then the real monster came calling as the Harvester reports another MASSIVE Marlin release (the second in two days):

 

 

Amazing work by Captain Alex, Mate Wilson, and these Jacksonville anglers.

Here’s what Jeff had to say in an email:

Craig & Matt,

Just wanted to say an enthusiastic THANK YOU for the incredible trip we had thanks to your team.  In 3 days (June 9,10,11) we got 3 Marlin (2 blue and a massive black!) 3 sailfish, a huge Dorado, and a good deal more Tuna and Mahi. 
Thanks to Capt Alex and his hard working deck hand Wilson, I was able to cross Marlin off my bucket list of fish to catch… definitely a dream for me and I know I speak for all the guys in our group that it was definitely the fishing trip of a lifetime! 
You could tell how passionate Alex was about fishing… his favorite thing to say after we brought in a catch was, “Let’s get another one!”

Pura Vida!

Dan Bowman brought his kids along for a very memorable day of fishing with Captain William on the 19th.

Check out what Dan had to say:

Craig,

Best fishing trip EVER — and I got to enjoy it with Chloe and Sophie, my 4.5 year old daughters! William and Johnny were the best.

We fought through a slow morning with a huge Cubera snapping off on the reef to landing 3 Sailfish in the early afternoon (the first two being a double hookup which was super exciting) to be followed up with a monster Dorado on the way home.

My girls had the best time ever, as did I! Memories to last a lifetime. Thank you and your crew for being so accommodating! Can’t wait to come back and go out again!

HUGE THANKS!

Cheers,

Brendan Chenowith brought his sons along for a great day of action the 20th.

They bested some blue water billfish and also deployed the flyrod for tasty treats.

Here’s what Mr. Chenowith had to say in an email:

Craig,

We had two great days with Alex on the Harvester. Alex put in a lot of effort to get us fish on the fly rods. He also did a fabulous job making our kids feel like they were the center of his attention.

His willingness to share his knowledge of the fishery taught us a lot about blue water and inshore fishing. We all came away from our experience wishing we far more time to spend in the Nosara area.

 

All my kids want to come back and fish again. I can’t ask for more than that. We intend to make it back soon.  
Thanks,
Brendan

The Explorer put in work on December 5 with clients Laura and Michael Price scoring some excellent filets for the dinner table.

The rods were bending all day. Here’s what Laura wrote on Facebook: “My husband and I went out today on the Explorer. We had an AMAZING time!!! We ended the day with 6 Mahi Mahi caught with 1 Mahi Mahi, 1 tuna and 1 marlin getting away. Phenomenal crew! We loved every minute of it!”
