The Wanderer is more than just the hardest-working boat in Central America; it’s also the preeminent spot for young anglers to learn the craft of sportfishing.
This fun-loving family had a boatload of fun with nice Ciero Mackerals, some fun Bonita, and a big Dorado.
Great work by the family friendly flagship!
Texas angler Darry Elliott scored a sweet Sailfish release with Captain William on January 17.
This blue water monster was no match for the mighty Wanderer:
The Wanderer entered into the teeth of a battle with this giant Dorado on January 16:
Great work by the mighty flagship!
The Discoverer delivered Dorado for client Kelly Borgeois on January 16. Not bad for just aย half day fishing!
Captain David prowled the reef in mid-January with a bundles of excellent inshore scores.
These small Bonitas were weaponized to nab this wonderful Rooster Fish release:
The Adventurer also nabbed this 30+lbs. Amberjack…ceviche time!
In mid-January the Harvester strung together several great results despite the presence of unusually high winds. The catch numbers went down a little but the billfish that were released are all monsters.
After this pair of nice releases the Mega Panga welcome Donald Ladenberger from the Sceptred Isle for a great day of action.
This Royal Navy veteran spun the guns on this Sailfish like the Bismarck, and Mate Kevin was there to play the role of Capt. Shepard.
Later in the week the offshore winds were just too much to bear so Captain Alex stayed inshore and kept the rods bent with Jack Crevalles and Dorados.
The next day the winds relaxed and the Harvester headed offshore for a couple of big Sailfish releases.
By mid-January the conditions were near-perfect, and Captain Alex was champing at the bit to get back into big-time blue water battles.
The day started quickly with two early Sailfish releases.
A third Sailfish hit the hook less than an hour later and once again the Harvester was up for the fight.
After the trophy releases they added a pair of swollen Dorados to the fishbox…pretty much the perfect end to a day on the water!
The Discoverer put together a wonderful trip of trips for Paul and Jon Worthington, scoring a bevy of big Dorados and scoring some sweet Sailfish snatches.
Normally we fixate on the big billfish releases, but the real highlight was the boatload of Doardos that Team Worthington put in the fishboxes.
Look at the girth on these monsters!
Great work by the big battleship Discoverer!
Paul Worthington had another huge day of blue water action on the 12th with a sweet Sailfish release followed up with four big Dorados.
This monster was safe released after the picture, but the same can’t be said for these tasty green beefcakes:
Awesome job by Captain Carlos and the big bad Discoverer!
Fantastic fun on theย Wanderer on January 11 with good action both inshore and offshore. First up was this meaty Jack Crevalle, perfect for ceviche:
Then Captain William pointed the flagship offshore and discovered a small school of big Doardos.
These are just the right size for dense, tasty filets. Great work by the Wanderer!
Big day on the battleship Discoverer for our good friend Paul Worthington.
We’ve endured a few days of offshore winds which forced out clients to stay inshore, but now that the winds have died down the blue water bite has fired up.
Look at this wonderful Sailfish release, flawlessly executed by Mate Juan Carlos:
