January 2010
Captain Vibert had client Michael Zito on board for a half-day fishing on January 12th. The Master Captain negotiated very strong offshore winds and showed the consistency that has made him a local legend. Despite the weather, Captain Vibert still delivered for his clients: Two 30lbs. Dorados and a nice 15lbs. Yellowfin tuna.
The new year began on January 5th for the Wanderer when client Kelly Masterson had an action-packed day of fishing. The intensifying Marlin bite was felt in the form of a 600lbs. Black Marlin that managed to escape at the last second. After losing a big Sailfish Kelly settled into some great action and ended up catching five 30lbs.-40lbs. Dorado. The next day client Cindy also had some near-miss billfish action with lots of Dorado catches to make up for it: four 30lbs.-40lbs. Dorado and a 30lbs. Wahoo made it to the fishboxes, but a 500lbs. Striped Marlin and Sailfish narrowly escaped. That evening on a sunset cruise client Jean Francois got the most out of his 2.5 hours by bringing home two 30lbs. Dorados and a 10lbs. Yellowfin Tuna.
February 2010
Longtime friend and client Scott D’Arrigo joined Craig Sutton and the crew of theWanderer for a very memorable day of fishing on January 30th. With Craig in command of the cockpit and Scotty on the reel they pulled in this massive Sailfish…Craig brought the big fella into the boat himself, a first time for him with a Pacific Sailfish.
The next day client Stephen Muller went hunting for offshore fare with Captain Eduardo on the big Sportsman. They quickly landed a small Dorado (25lbs.) and before they could get it on ice another line popped off with a larger Dorado (35lbs.) With the prospect of a full belly that evening, Mr. Muller went hunting for a big billfish. Captain Eduardo and the crew put him right on a 120lbs. Sailfish and Stephen successfully captured and released the big beauty.
Most recently, the Wanderer was graced by Dennis Rosa and his son Sam for two full days of fishing on the 12th and 14th of February. On the first day they caught two 25lbs. Dorados and a 120lbs. Sailfish.
Then they raised ten Sailfish on the second day and ended up successfully capturing and releasing four of them. Sam showed excellent skills on the reel and was centrally involved in all the Sailfish strikes. He had a great trip with his dad to our little slice of paradise, where they explored the surrounding areas on foot, on the water, and even from the treetops on one of our nearby jungle zip-lines. FishingNosara and Nosara Paradise Rentals are proud to be family-friendly doorways for kids of all ages to enjoy the Pura Vida spirit of Costa Rica.
March 2010
On March 10th client Dan Bracec went our for three hours looking for the BIG Cuberra Snappers that lurk deep within the safety of the reefs. He started out catching the requisite Black tuna, then applied our specialized FishingNosara Tactic to hook up the big boys. The fish bit, but he was just too big to fight and escaped back to the depths. These Cuberras can grow up to 400lbs., but once they get bigger than 100lbs. you can forget about catching them. A few days later client Ned Garber got himself a Snapper, but this one was much more reasonably sized.
John followed up with another strong performance on March 8th catching a nice Amberjack, a 40lbs. Wahoo, and releasing another glorious 100+lbs. Sailfish. Over his final three days he also put a 45lbs. Dorado in the fishbox and lost a few 50lbs. Yellowfin Tunas. Captain Eduardo and the crew did and excellent job of keeping the client on fish and live releasing all the great billfish catches.
Client Submitted Report – March 5th, 2010 client Derek Pouchnik of Viola, Idaho: “We had a great day on the water with William, David and Alex. We drove down to the office on the day before our fishing trip and met Manuel who was very pleasant and made sure we knew where we needed to be the next day.”
“We fished for quite a while with nothing then seemingly out of nowhere ‘fish on’ and we eventually landed a beautiful sail fish (110lbs!). We got some nice photos and let him go. Then probably an hour or so later we picked up a gorgeous Dorado of probably 45-50 pounds! My wife caught that one and that was really what she had dreamed of getting. So, that pretty much made the trip for her.”
“Alex made us up some nice fresh sushi with a bit of wasabi and soy, mmm…..We tried hard to get my sister into a good fish but that was it. We did have I think two other fish in the spread but nothing on the hook. It was a great trip. We were very happy with the crew and the work they did.”
April 2010
Client Bob went fishing on the Nice n’ Tight on April 9th and had a very respectable showing catching a 12lbs. Pompano, a tough little needlefish, and a nice Black tuna. Captain Eduardo brought out the big gun for a three day booking with client Stiff from April 10th to the 12th. The first day on theSportsman was highlighted by a whopping 50lbs. Dorado. Things got even better the next day when they released a 100+lbs. Sailfish. On the final day then caught and released a 30lbs. Rooster fish. With a man like Captain Eduardo at the helm, you can have these kind of multi-species days, or hammer on tuna all day long. Bottom line is this man catches fish!
Recently client David Laudon had an incredible half-day trip. In a short time they had boated 10 triggerfish and a nice jack. Captain Vibert knows these inshore reef like none other and is always ready to bring in this kind of solid action!
On April 7th the Grove party was all over the Dorados and then finished their day off strong with a late-afternoon Black Marlin release. Even though the month started off slowly, great crews like the Wanderer’s have the skills to keep clients on fish and fish on hooks. Now that the Marlin have showed up big time, there in no reason not to expect more awesome trips.
May 2010
Captain Eduardo has been fishing like a madman in the last month, and he has theNice n’ Tight back on top of the leaderboard. He’s had a great mix of sunset cruises, nature tours, and flat-out billfish hunting…the common thread? Lots and lots of smiling clients. On April 19th Captain Eduardo welcomed Jacksonville client Van Evans and his girlfriend for the first of two days fishing. Van owns a great little seafood restaurant in Florida and is no stranger to some great looking fish. Their first sunset cruise netted them a nice macarella and a ponpano. A few days later they had another awesome sunset cruise catching a delightful white tuna and a beautiful amberjack.
That same morning clients Crissy, Rich, and Robert caught five nice white tunas in just a few hours fishing. Captain Eduardo knows how to stay on the fish, evidenced by two trips on the same day catching the same species fish. His experience on these waters give him the competitive edge.
Captain Eduardo stayed busy with another booking on April 26th with clients Bruce and Dwyane. The rods were bending all day long and the boys came home with a 12lbs. yellowfin tuna, a 15lbs dorado and several black tunas. Great action all day long is what the Nice n’ Tight is all about.
On April 26th clients Dwayne and Katrina fishing for a half-day on the reefs. They applied our FishingNosara Cuberra Tactic and caught a beautiful 30lbs. Cuberra snapper. They rounded out their day with four sweet whites tunas. The next day client David Caywood went hunting for the big boys.
Unfortunately they didn’t get so big by being easily caught and despite raising up a Sail and a big-time Marlin they couldn’t get ‘em hooked up and to the boat. Client Daniel Fero also had an action packed day on May 4th, albeit with limited results. He got some dinner in the form of a big Yellowfin tuna, but lost a pair a Cadillac-sized snappers on the bottom. Likewise for client Bobby Leesman on May 10th, who fished a full day on came away with a 30lbs. Yellowfin tuna. He also has action throughout the day, but the fish were tough to catch.
June 2010
One of our favorite clients Ivan de Luca and his son Tomas were on the Cabo for several fun filled days, catching nearly one of every species in the ocean. Unfortunately the biggest Marlin they had hooked up broke the leader right at the boat, but that’s how it goes when fighting the mightiest fish in the sea. From the inshore reefs to offshore trolling, Captain Vibert knows how to get the job done.
The 31′ Wanderer has built quite a reputation in the six short month she’s been in service as the dominant billfish hunter in the area. This month Captain William and mates Alex and David had some phenomenal billfish releases and also put clients on a wide variety of other fish. One of my best friends Jacksonville angler Chetri Dimitroff was aboard the Wanderer on May 28th and caught his first ever Pacific Blue Marlin. The fight lasted seventeen minutes and ended with a safe live release. Chetri represents FishingNosara at fishing tournaments around Florida; last year he placed in the Kingbuster 400. This trip, Chetri and his posse had an awesome time and caught nice tattooed sunburns.
Jacksonville angler Dennis Dahlquist also had a 300+lbs Marlin release on a late-May trip on the Wanderer; As usual Captain William was on top of his game. I was joined by fellow Jacksonville angler Ray Carter and the lovely Georgia peach Paula Price for a great trip on theWanderer on May 30th. The weather was just about as perfect as could be imagined and the party had a fantastic array of catches.
In total we caught a mean little 20lbs. Wahoo, a 30lbs. Amberjack, a 35lbs. Cuberra snapper and two 12lbs. Yellowfin tuna. The highlight of the trip was a pair of 100+lbs. Sailfish releases. Paula showed her skills on the reel as both fights were under ten minutes and both fish were released.
Recently Renee Taylor and family booked the Wanderer on June 16th and had a magnificent day. They released a 250lbs. Striped Marlin and a 120lbs. Sailfish and a nice Yellowfin tuna to the mix…call this a perfect end to a great month of fishing.
