The big boats were busy so Team Vincent chose the 23-foot Adventurer for some inshore action on June 11.

Their day broke with a big surprise…in nice Pacific Sailfish had wandered in less than 3 miles from shore.

“Some offshore fish crashed our inshore party,” Patrick reports. “We went 1 for 5 on sailfish, then scored two small yellowfin tuna, a mahi, 3 bonitos, a cubera snapper, a mullet snapper, and a jack.”

“Nice day on a small inshore boat.”

Mike Burling and his crew of legendary Fernandina Beach anglers have put a whopping on a lot of billfish in Nosara over the years, and they added to their legacy with a huge day of Sailfish releases on the Explorer.

They started the day with this sweet Double Sailfish release.

Great fish-handling by Mate Kevin to see to both safe releases.

The crew picked off Sailfish one at a time for the rest of the day, scoring four more releases.

It ain’t easy to keep the pressure on the blue water beasties after a Grand Slam (June 9), but Master Captain William makes the difficult look easy with extreme regularity.

Team Vincent marked up the scorecard again on June 10 with Sailfish being the main score of the day.

“We started the day with a triple header of sailfish, catching 2, an 80lb and a 100lb.”

“We moved the boat another 100 feet, then caught another sailfish, this time 90lbs.”.

“We finished out the day by catching another 100lb sailfish on the way in.”

Patrick and his dad have one more day on the Wanderer, so fingers-crossed that the hot streak continues.

June 9 was a landmark day for the Wanderer and the Vincent boys…let’s have Patrick tell the story:

“Today, with help from my Dad, I accomplished a fishing dream!”

“Together we caught a Billfish Grand Slam which means we caught three different species of Billfish in one day.”

“We caught a 200lb Blue Marlin, a 100lb Striped Marlin, and two Pacific Sailfish at 130lbs and at 80lbs!”

“It’s something to be proud of and always remembered and I couldn’t think of a better person to share it with than my dad!”

Mark Perdue joined the barroom brawler for two full days of fishing and they scored big with Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin.

“The first day we went out, we had a double hookup with Carlos and Kevin in the Explorer in the first 20 minutes.”

“Then we found an old dilapidated net about 12 miles out and caught a couple of 80lb Dorado and as many smaller ones we could catch.”

“Plus many small yellowfin tuna. ย Caught fish around the net on almost every cast with spinning gear.”

Patrick Vincent is a good son…he snagged his father, brought him down to Nosara, and booked five full days of fishing on the Wanderer. They began their campaign against the blue water beasts on June 7, where the elder Mr. Vincent scored his first-ever Marlin release.

 

 

 

 

This Striped Marlin is estimate to weigh just over 125lbs., and was safely released by First Mate Alex.

 

Patrick followed up with a swell Sailfish release of his own.
