Tom Kerl and his group had a blast on the Wanderer today with a total of four Sailfish releases!

Tom got things started with this fireballing Sailfish that put on a show about 20 feet from the back of the boat.

After the safe release of the Sailfish, the Wanderer‘s spread was attacked by a hunting pair of swift Sails.

First Mate Alex supervised this veteran anglers while Captain William put on a boat-maneuvering clinic; keeping two Sailfish on the line and separated from each other is no small feat, but for Captain William this is a walk in the park.

These Sailfish are a little big for the famous Double Sailfish release, so First Mate Alex cautiously released each fish separately.

Later in the day it was time for the Miss’ to step up to a mighty Sailfish and she had no problem executing this release. Notice from the photo that Alex is impressed that she is fighting the Sailfish standing-up, foregoing the Wanderer’s fighting chair.

After four trophy fish releases, the only thing left to worry about was dinner, which Tom brought home in the form of this 20lbs. Dorado.

Great memories, great photos, and great dinner…that’s a perfect day on the mighty Wanderer.

Jed Duncan brought his family along for a quick morning 2.5 hour trip on the Wanderer. These quick hitters are a great way to get the family involved in fishing without committing to a full day on the water.

Captain William and First Mate Alex are wonderful with children and they made sure this little lady got herself a nice fishing experience.

Great work by the boat that rules Garza bay not just as a big billfish hunter, but also as the best family-friendly boat in the whole area.

Derrell and the boys were back on the Wanderer for more Sailfish action on November 15, including one that put on an above-the-water display that will certainly get your heart pumping. Check out this high-flyer:

Can’t help but smile after that show!

Safe released by First Mate Alex as always and more big smiles from this big angler!

Derrell took on the second Sailfish of the day and once again a safe release was imminent for this West Central Florida angling legend.

Another great trip for our good friend Derrell McCrary!

Eddie Rivera and his buddy took to the Explorer for an inshore tuna hunt and were rewarded with a trio of tasty Yellowfins.

These football-sized Yella Fellas weigh about 10 lbs. each but their filets make for the best sushi around…hold on there!

Let us filet it up for you first!

Derrell McCrary has spent lots of time on the mighty Wanderer over the last three years, and this St. Petersburg, FL angler brought some buddies along this time for a two day blue water campaign.

They started out their adventure by boating a few nice Dorado:

These mahi-mahi represented more than just tasty filets for the dinner table…they were a sign that bigger fish were lurking in this stretch of water.

Sure enough a bad-to-the-bone Sailfish hit the hooks in the early afternoon and the ensuing battle put the anglers to the test. Check out this feisty action right next to the boat:

First Mate Alex got this fish under control and executed a perfect safe release as always. Derrell and the boys will be back tomorrow and we expect even more great action for them on the famous Wanderer.

A fine group of anglers came to us from the Blue Spirit Yoga Retreat desiring a taste of some blue water fishing. We split the party up between the Wanderer and Explorer with great rod-bendin’ action reported from both groups.

Check out this fine White Tuna from the Wanderer. Clearly this boat has the tools to satisfy any angler of any age!

Nice work by the big blue beauty!

The Blue Spirit Yoga Retreat booked the Wanderer and Explorer for a blue water outing for the faculty and students.

The Explorer won the day with three fat Dorados on ice. Estimated between 20 lbs. – 30 lbs., each of these greenies yields lots of great filets for these yogis.

Nice hunting by Captain David and Carlos on this very productive outing.

Nancy Ferguson and her posse had a very productive day on the Wanderer with a pair of tasty Dorados in the fishbox. These Virginia anglers are the latest in a long line of great clients we’ve hosted from the Old Dominion.

These green goodies have been prevalent so far this season and are a great sign for the coming year.

Great work by Captain William and First Mate Alex to put their guests on the fish and bring them all the way to the icebox.

Matty was in town to help get the new office squared away, but still found a little time to squeeze in some fishing. The legendary Explorer was in the final touch-up stage of maintenance and Matt got the first crack on the Super panga this season.
