The Adventurer strikes again! Client Kim Hius took a short ride on the pocket knife and pried up this tasty Jack Crevelle less than two miles from shore.
Excellent quick hitter by Captain Carlos on the craftiest boat in the bay.

The billfish were scarce today, so the crafty Captain William switched up the spread on the Wanderer to target some dinner-time filets. As always the flagship delivered the goods for client Henry Noguera and his group.
In all they boated four nice Dorados with the big one estimated at 40lbs.
Great work by the blue beauty that always brings home the bacon!

So lots of attention is getting paid to some poor boat-handling fool down in Panama. Yes Marlin are strong, and yes they swim fast. It is a true fish-of-a-lifetime but only an amateur sinks his own boat and puts his clients in the drink trying to catch one.
Here’s how real professionals catch and release Marlin.
Captain William of the Wanderer keeps this fight short (under 25 minutes) with superb boat handling, angler Craig Sutton keep tension on the fish for the duration, and First Mate Alex executes a perfect revival and release.
All while keeping the boat on top of the water 🙂
Proper tackle + strong boat and crew = safe releases and good times

Scott Walcott is a tough-as-nails fisherman from the Bay of Quinte on the north shore of Lake Ontario. He and his brother joined Captain William on the Wanderer to try his hand at some warm weather fishing and were treated with the quintessential bucket list bottom fish: Rooster!
They captured and released two beautiful specimens with a fly rod. Our team is always fired up to try new techniques and flycasting for the powerful surface striking Rooster fish certainly had the boys grinning.
Great work by First Mate Alex on the safe releases as the Wanderer proves once again that there is no type of fishing that she can’t do.

Bill Werden and his group acquired their vacation package at a banquet for the Florida Coastal Conservation Association and they bellied up to the bar for some great sailfish action on the Wanderer.
This monster is estimated to weigh upwards of 150lbs. and was a memorable fishing feat for these Florida anglers.
Superb boat handling by Captain William made this a short fight, and First Mate Alex saw to the safe revival and release of this beautiful Sailfish.

Our new friend Ruth Fricke brought her family out for a nice day of fishing on the Wanderer and managed to score some filets for the dinner table. The highlights of a busy day of action were this tasty White tuna and a nice Jack Crevelle.
Lots of fun for these folks on their day fishing on the flagship.

A relaxing sunset cruise was a fitting end to one of the busiest months ever for the Wanderer. Client Charles Bamburg brought a fun-loving group on board for a quick 2.5 hour jaunt to the inshore reef and they had a boatload of fun to go with several Jack Crevelle catches.
Take a look at the good times:

Dave Devine and his family turned in one of the best performances in recent memory by releasing two Sailfish and two Striped Marlin on just a 5 hour trip! That is incredible production for a half-day of fishing.
Both Stripeys weighed about 225lbs. which is typical size for this species. They fight just as ferociously as their bigger cousins and getting two releases on a single trip is certainly a noteworthy feat.
Nice to see that Dave’s son got in on the action and caught one of the Sails. Great fish handling as always by First Mate Alex to make sure the fish and the kid got away from this photo safely.

David Lukof locked into a battle with a super 300+lbs. Marlin on the unbeatable Explorer. Take a look at this monster:
According to our buddy Jeff (who was filming): “Dude had heat stroke after this. He’s been chasing a marlin for 30 years. He said ‘I’d fight it till I died’ he might have actually been close!”
Amazing catch and release by the superstar Captain David and Mate Carlos!
