Wanderer – Page 124 – Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

Captain William stayed inshore on a morning half day trip with Scott and Adam Greiner.

The ladies stole the show with some early action on the planer / spoon rig; these Jack Crevalles aren’t great eating fish on their own but these catches were the first stirrings of a feeding frenzy that would see a bunch of tasty White Tunas on the sushi platter.

Our custom Poseidon fishing rods have performed excellently paired with Penn 7500 and 5500 spinners.

White Tuna are amazing on the sushi plate or in the frying pan, and it looks like a good fish fry is going down tonight at the Greiners’ place.

FishingNosara is the first choice for Family Fishing in Costa Rica, and we are honored to be chosen by so many parents to show their kids a great experience on the water.

Check out the family Double Sailfish release scored by client Brad Ferris and his clan.

Hectic action on the Wanderer made smooth by Captain William and First Mate Alex. Both fish released safely and these kids get a great fishing memory to last a lifetime.

Bob Goins left the ladies at home for his second trip of the week and led the boys on a fishing mission to Sailfish City. Captain William found the fish and they hooked up a Sailfish right off the bat.

No gloves, huh Alex? It’s safe to say that First Mate Alex is in mid-season form with all the Sailfish releases this month!

These North Carolina anglers totaled four Sailfish releases on the trip.

Bob’s boys also added a pair of Dorados which should make the wives happy that the bacon is being brought home.

Excellent work as always by the famous Wanderer.

After getting acclimated to the blue water on the Adventurer, Ed Showalter and his group boarded the Wanderer for a trip to Sailfish City.

Captain William followed the porpoise schools to the feeding grounds, which First Mate Alex prepared an irresistible spread.

Right on cue, this high-flying beauty hit the hook and the fight was on! Laura belted up for the fight as the crew of the Wanderer put the moves on this high-flying Sailfish.

Laura did a great job keeping this animal under control as it zig-zagged to both sides of the boat.

Another excellent release by First Mate Alex and a nice notch on Team Showalter’s scorecard.

Scott Greiner and his crew stepped aboard the Wanderer with dreams of billfish, and Captain William snapped them awake with six lovely Sailfish releases on a 6.5 hour trip.

The ladies started off the action with a pair of Sailfish released early in the trip.

The boys held their own with three total releases; one per man.

The walk-off shot was the largest and most brightly colored of the day.

Great work by First Mate Alex in seeing to the safe release of all six specimens.

Jennifer and Shannon Gonzalez enlisted Captain William and the Wanderer on March 18 for a return trip to Sailfish City. The blue water was fruitful for these Tampa-area anglers as they stacked up Sailfish releases with great precision.

First Mate Alex had his work cut out for him wrangling these sea monsters; check out the look on Jennifer’s face when this bucking beast was brought up:

All the billfish were safely released care of the excellent First Mate Alex. Seems like the Sailfish got more aggressive at the day wore on…you’d think the first four Sailfish would spread the word to the others not to mess with the best!

The highlight of the trip was a Double sailfish hook-up that led to a thrilling release!

They closed out the day with a final Sailfish release. Wonderful action from the famous Wanderer!

Austin Cunkle and his crew are part of a long line of fantastic fishermen who’ve visited us from Northeast Florida. These Atlantic Beach folks know what to do with a big fish on the line, and their trip on the famous Wanderer proved that with several super Sailfish releases.

After two quick releases to break the ice, this posse hooked-up two Sailfish simultaneously and set the table for an awesome afternoon.

First Mate Alex smoothly handled and released both fish, and in no-time flat another pair of Sailfish hit the spread:

Two more late-day Sailfish delivered the final send-off for Austin and the boys, and put the bow on a perfect day of billfishing.

Mr. and Mrs. Brian Larsen spanked some Sailfish today on the Wanderer. The flagship has been cooking lately, but this TEN Sailfish release performance is truly world-class.

The action started quick with a pair of ‘his and hers’ Sailfish releases within the first hour of fishing. A third high-flyer was waiting in line right behind them.

The peak of the day’s bite was this Double Sailfish release. Check out this great sequence of the action captured by Captain William:

Clean safe release as always by First Mate Alex!

The action did not relent for these New Jersey anglers as the day would see several more Sailfish releases, including this high flyer.

Mrs. Larsen added another pair of releases to the scorecard late in the 8 hour trip.

I don’t care who you are, a day like this is a real workout. Fortunately the Larsens were pumped up!

Great work by these fine anglers and by the crew of the mighty Wanderer.

Tom and Tammy Clymer had a boatload of fun fishing inshore with Captain William on the Wanderer. Our tactic is to stir up a feeding frenzy on one of our inshore reefs, hoping to coax one of the big bottom dwellers out from his hiding spot in the ocean floor.

The trick to this kind of fishing is perseverance and patience; the fish of a lifetime won’t be the first one on the hook, but if you invest the time over a good spot then the monster will come calling. Tammy got the action fired up with this nice Jack Crevelle.
