Our old pal Hubble Keller brought the whole family down for a few days of fishing fun in Costa Rica. Three generations of Kellers were onboard for a combination inshore/offshore trip on the Wanderer.ย 

After this nice Sailfish release, the flagship retreated inshore to ply the 80-foot waters over Pincha Padre.

The big boys were a little sleepy, but the group still had action on some Bonitas and Jack Crevelles…nothing for the dinner table but a bunch of fun nonetheless.

On March 29 Roy Forster brought his kids along for morning half day on the Wanderer. They stayed inshore and enjoyed some good rod-bending action.

After warming up on some feisty Jack Crevelles, Roy scored a big old Ponpano…perfect for cevieche!

The Wanderer bid adios to Roy and the family, then welcomed Hanna Copp and her kids for another round of inshore action.

 

This Cierro Mackeral is certainly a tasty fish, plus they added a few more Jack Crevelles near the end of the trip.

One day, two happy fishing families for the Wanderer.

Tom and Tammy Clymer had a boatload of fun fishing inshore with Captain William on the Wanderer. Our tactic is to stir up a feeding frenzy on one of our inshore reefs, hoping to coax one of the big bottom dwellers out from his hiding spot in the ocean floor.

The trick to this kind of fishing is perseverance and patience; the fish of a lifetime won’t be the first one on the hook, but if you invest the time over a good spot then the monster will come calling. Tammy got the action fired up with this nice Jack Crevelle.

Then young Misses Clymer added another Jack Crevelle:

This activity combined with a few Bonitas getting recycled into the water by First Mate Alex’ knife, this area was bound to yield something big.

Something hit Tom Clymer’s line like a wrecking ball and bent the rod over like a bullwhip.

What was this tiny water disturbance hiding?

BOOM!

Great work by the Clymer family in executing this bottom fishing attack strategy with the unstoppable Captain William.
