Wanderer | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

July 17, 2018

Brady Ballard brought his posse from Austin, TX for a packed week of action on the blue water with Captain William running the gamut of fish on July 17.

This early-morning Sailfish release was quickly followed up by a variety of tasty table fare.

First a big Dorado, then a pack of Yellowfin Tunas…looks like dinner is served!

A big monster came late in the day. This monster Blue Marlin is a true warrior and it took the best boat in Central America to capture and release her.

Great work by the mighty Wanderer.

July 16th saw more good Dorado action on the Wanderer. No one is going hungry this week!

July 15, 2018

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.”

Texas anglers Juan Montelongo and his posse joined the flagship and got started fast with several football-sized Yellowfin Tunas on ice.

Vanessa Bremby added this monster Dorado:

At the end of the trip this excellent Sailfish came calling and the Wanderer brought her all the way in for a safe release.

Team Jasak/Sherley continued their excellent fishing on the 13th.

The Yellowfin Tuna got the day started off right, with lots of numbers in the fishbox.

The highlight of the trip was a true fish-of-a-lifetime. This big Blue Marlin put up a fight that took all three anglers (and Mate Johnny) to keep under control.

Great work delivering the fish of a lifetime to these Florida anglers.

July 12, 2018

Florida anglers Bob and Lori Sherley joined by Chet and Carole Jasak and his wife for their first of three big days on the Wanderer.

Big Yellowfin Tunas were the order of the day, with the flagship reported several great scores.

Later in the day the Yellas yielded the way for some super Sailfish releases.

July 11, 2018

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!!!
