All boats were deployed on July 7, but as always the Wanderer led the way with several sweet Sailfish releases and lots of Yellowfin Tuna filets for a great family of fishermen.

It’s always a treat to see youngsters get their fishing games started, but with these kind of big pelagics I hope they don’t get spoiled!

The grown-ups got in on the action as well:

The Yellowfin Tuna have established a beachhead a few miles offshore and it will take our Navy a few months to break through their lines.

Until then it’s gonna be big smiles and full fishboxes!

“Great time had by all, here are some pictures from our 7/2 trip on Wanderer.” writes Jeff Beall.

Check out this monster:

Later on they encountered a school of big Yellowfin Tunas.

Each of the boys tackled a Yella Fella of their own on this trip.

First Mate Alex is always trying new things, and for these big Tunas he likes to vent them of their blood immediately after the catch using a strong rope and a small incision above the tail.

This keeps the boat clean, preserves ice, and most importantly produces a blast of oxygen-rich blood into the spread which attracts more bites.

Great work by this hard-fishing family!

Todd Marr and his family took advantage of a last-minute opening on the Wanderer, scoring big Yellowfin tunas backed up by some sweet Sailfish:

The big Yellowfins are back for the summer and our crews are primed to hop all over them.

Todd hooked up a big high-flying Sailfish later in the trip and this pelagic put on a show for the Marr family:

Excellent fish handling saw to yet another safe billfish release for the mighty Wanderer.

This month we suffered a loss in the Nosara Paradise Rentals family.

Danilo Montero Murillo was tragically lost in a traffic accident on June 30 2015. He was 45 years old, was a council member for the district of Nosara and owner of Mini Super Vida in the Los Arenales neighborhood.

He was also a masterful builder and was the project lead for the construction of Casa Bonita and the attached Mini Store in Playa Guiones:

 

In November 2009 he released this excellent Black Marlin on the Wanderer, the second ever Marlin release for the then-new flagship.

Our prayers are with Danilo’s family and friends during this difficult time.

Pura vida Danilo!
