Michael Helbock brought his family to the Wanderer, which in addition to being the most productive boat in Garza is also the most family-friendly. Many youngsters have been introduced to the craft of sportfishing on the flagship and her crew are the perfect hosts for a safe, fun, and educational time on the water.

Excellent inshore action from a boat that is just as good for families as for hardcore anglers.

Brian Justice and his family enjoyed a full day on the Wanderer and since the billfish were scarce early in the trip, Captain William pointed the flagship inshore and cleaned-up on a wide array of species.

They started with a handful of Jack Crevelles, then graduated up the tastiness scale to the delectable White Tuna.

Finally their time was rewarded with a world-class hunk of table fare known as the Mullet Snapper! The meat on these fellas looses its density once the fish grown over 25lbs, so we usually don’t get excited about them. However these little fellas yield a flaky, lobster-like meat that it hard to top.

Looks like some folks have a few awesome meals in their future thanks to the unshakable Wanderer.

The unstoppable Explorer is back on the water and that spells trouble for all the fish on our inshore reefs. Captain David and Mate Carlos welcomed Scott’s group for a great day inshore with a wide variety of filets showing up in the fishbox.

They started with a few hard-fightin’ Jack Crevalles, then buried the hook into this tasty White Tuna:

There are few fish in this area that can rival the White Tuna when it comes to great sushi, but the Cierro Mackerel is one of those rare delicacies.

Scott’s group finished off the day with a fantastic Cierro, charmed aboard no doubt by Mate Carlos donning the newly-discovered lucky fishing wig. Great addition to the tackle arsenal, Scott!

James Petter brought the whole family for a quick 2.5 hour trip on the Wanderer. They stayed inshore and caught an array of fish including some small Dorados, tasty White Tunas, and a big ole Jack Crevelle.

Another super family outing on the Wanderer; everyone caught fish and got hooked up with big smiles!

Waynes Estes and his son Trevor were back on the Wanderer today and were determined to hunt the reef dwellers. Trevor caught the first fish of the day, this rare and elusive Blue Jack Crevelle.

In fact the Jacks were thick all day as the Estes’ boys mopped up the Crevalles.

Check out Wayne’s old-school FishingNosara T-shirt…this ain’t no first timer folks!

The action heated up in a major way in the afternoon as not one, not two, but THREE Roosterfish found the hooks. This comes on the heels of the Wanderer‘s double Rooster day last week.

Fantastic work by this Jacksonville-based Father and son fishing team!

All three pez gallo were released safely and we look forward to catching them many more times.

Today wasย  a very productive half day outing for Jeff Saint on the nimble new Adventurer. They set up shop just outside of Garza Bay and found fertile fishing grounds over a piece of floating debris.

Jeff pulled five Dorados and eight Bonitas from under the driftwood and then Captain Carlos took them a little further inshore and deployed a scaled-down version of the devastating Planer / Spoon rig (see right side of photo). This tasty Jack Crevelle was the result.

Captain Carlos is a hungry fisherman who squeezes every drop of action out of his fishing days. Another great wall-to-wall report from the hard-charging Adventurer.

Our great friend Jeff Bickel is back in Nosara for several days of fishing this week and he brought a whole posse of good folks from South Georgia. They left the wives to hang out by the pool while they set the hooks into some great tasting bottom fish.

Highlighted by a huge Jack Crevalle and a nice Red Grouper, these boys really hit the fish hard this week.

John Havins and his group from Houston booked Captain William and the Wanderer for an afternoon half day on March 15. He’s staying with our buddy Jeff over at Namaste Oasis so it was natural that he would have a great day on the flagship.

The knocked out a pair of 15lbs. Groupers and added some big Jack Crevalles for good measure. The Grouper bite has turned into a staple and we hope these tasty critters stick around for the rest of the season.

Captain David kept the Explorer inshore today with client Brandon Perez and his wife. They enjoyed lots of rod-bendin’ action highlighted by a big Yellowtail Snapper and a nice Jack Crevalle.

They added a small White Tuna later on and had a big Rooster fish hooked to a topwater plug, but lost him. Excellent catches though from these South Florida anglers.
