Paul Reynolds took a victory lap on July 29 as his last day of fishing yielded another fish-of-a-lifetime for this Winter Park angler.

The new FishingNosara visor must have lured up a big one…Check out this MASSIVE Cubera Snapper he snagged early in the day.

After the inshore success, Captain William pointed the blue beauty off shore for another stroll through Sailfish City.

Here’s what Paul had to say on Tripadvisor:

“What a great trip! I’m an avid fisherman in Florida and the Bahamas, but this blew all of my other trips away. Everyone from Craig (owner / booking) to Matt and all of the captains & crew were great.”

“We fished 3.5 days and caught 26 billfish, 5 dorado (one at 60 lbs) and 16 yellowfin tuna… not to mention the cubera snapper, amberjack and other inshore fish. We fished mostly on the Wanderer, Harvester and Explorer. All were great, but my favorites were Capt William & first Mate Johnny (Wanderer) and the Captain Alex with first mate Kevin (Harvester).”

“We fished mostly ballyhoo with circle hooks offshore and all crews knew how to fish. Almost every captain spoke English too… which really helps. My favorite was when we found some bonito and slow trolled them for the marlin, larger sailfish and inshore for cubera.”

“Don’t be fooled by the rainy season… it produces offshore as well. Rooster fish were very hard to find and may be better other seasons. I do not hesitate in recommending this group for a great fishing trip.”

“If you are looking to fish large sportfish boats with A/C…. this is not your trip. But if you want to catch the same quality and quantity of fish for 1/3 of the price… this is the trip. I can’t wait to book my next trip!”

“PS – lunch was included for our trips and was fantastic. Cooked by the local ladies and in classic Costa Rica style. Water and fresh fruit included too… just bring the beer, the sunscreen and the gopro / cameras!!”

After a giant day of Sailfish releases on the Mega Panga, Paul Reynolds group moved up to the flagship and Captain William led them from Sailfish City to the land of El Dorado!

These MASSIVE Mahi-Mahi are a welcome treat…always great to have lots of filets on ice.

Later in the day the Wanderer lined up a run at more Sailfish, with Mate Johnson successfully billing and releasing this nice monster:

Adrian Paredes and his group had a big day with Captain William reporting seven Sailfish release on their July 13 trip.

Nice work by Mate Johnson to keep these fights short and sweet leading to safe releases.

Check out this high-flyer:

Big fish above the water means big smiles on board!

Later on they moved inshore and nabbed two swole Cubera Snapper:

“Great day on the water. Dreams came true on our trip to Nosara.” wrote Adrian in and email. ย “Thank you Captain William and mate Johnny for putting us on 7 beautiful sailfish and two tasty cubera snapper. I can’t wait to go back!”

The BIG Yellowfin Tuna have arrive and Master Captain William put a big one on the money with client Paul Worthington on July 3.

This respectable Yella was in fact the warm-up round.

With a little help from Mate Johnson, this behemoth was decked after a solid one hour fight.

Whoa!

Enough trying to hold it up…let’s get to cleaning and filet this monster for the dinner table!
