Want to talk about a perfect day of trophy fishing? Howabout a pair of BIG Rooster Fish releases in the morning, then a GIANT Black Marlin in the afternoon?

The mighty Wanderer accomplished this ludicrous feat in late August, leaving the clients equally ecstatic and exhausted.

This beefy pair of Rooster fish would satisfy the most demanding anglers, but these boys headed offshore after the releases and found a true monster lurking offshore.

Great fishing handling and boat handling by the blue beauty’s magnificent crew led to another textbook Black Marlin release.

The Explorer scored again with a fine Rooster Fish release on a father-son fishing trip.

This excellent pez gallo was released after the picture, but this tasty Ponpano had no such luck…ceviche, anyone?

The Wanderer has continued her hot streak with yet another great Sailfish release.

Check on the girth on this monster:

All in a day’s work for the baddest boat in Garza!

Awesome whale shark sighting by Alejo while doing some ‘company research’ on the Adventurer.

AJ had this to say, “This sort of things are incredibly beautiful, and we have to continue protecting the environment…”

Showing extreme dedication to the hunt, Ed Smith finally scored a Cubera Snapper on the Explorer.

Ed writes: “Finally checked the Cubera Snapper off the list. Carlos and crew worked hard for 3 days and it finally paid off.”

“You know the days gonna be good when you hook up a wahoo first (instead of the bonita we were trying to catch for bait).”

“Craig, we’ve had a great time so far, love the house, the crew, the town and the surf – can you just the roads fixed?”

He also scored another great Yellowfin Tuna and a Yellowtail Snapper. That’s a boatload of filets!

Man we love California anglers! A good friend of Shea McIntee (of Stoked on Fishing fame) named Ed Smith has brought his boys down to Nosara for a fun week of surfing and fishing.

On August 17 young Sean scored this excellent Sailfish release on the Explorer.

Ed writes: “Sean joined the billfish club today with his first sailfish on light gear.”

“I on the other hand came closer to my cubera snapper goal, losing a monster on a big popper in a few feet of water.”

“Nothing like seeing a 12-inch wide tail/back come crashing down on the jig! Off to buy more poppers tomorrow!”

Still, Ed scored some excellent eating fish with a Yellowfin Tuna, Ponpano, and Snapper all on ice.

Wonderful Double Sailfish release on the Explorer!

This pair of monsters attacked the super panga’s spread but Captain Carlos and Mate Juan Carlos were ready for them.

Once again the good fishing karma found this group of CCA North Carolina anglers and they performed brilliantly.

All fish were safely released, putting the perfect bow on this fishing gift.

Charlie Phillips’ posse saved the best for last, as on their final day of fishing on the Wanderer they scored a DOUBLE MASSIVE Marlin release.

We have some great video of this beast so look out for the full account on the next FishingNosara DVD due out this month.

The crew also added to their pile of filets…after a great day inshore on the 14th, they caught a whole bunch of filets to take home on the 15th.

Charlie Phillips stayed inshore today and knocked a big Rooster Fish off of his bucket list.

This catch as been a long time coming for this Everglades angler, and we are stoked to see this accomplishment.

The group also added tasty filets for the dinner table in the form of three nice Snappers and a pile of Yellowfin Tuna.

Looking good in the ice box and on the dinner plate!

The Wanderer is closing in on the final bell of the season like a thoroughbred and clients like Charlie Phillips’ group are feeling pumped to be along for the ride.
