March 29 was family fun day on the Discoverer! The only thing better than seeing young kids on the water is seeing them score big fish.
After this pair of Sailfish releases the youngsters stayed busy with 8 small Dorados on ice. Great work kids!

Captain David continues to astound with his performance on the Adventurer. On March 29 client Daniel Shoemaker scored TWO Sailfish releases on board the 23-foot switchblade.
These full-sized Sailfish were no match for Captain David.
After the safe releases, these clients continued to score. Check out this meaty Dorado:

Our long time friends Ken and Brenda Russell and Larry Komenda and Misti Nolan were back on the water for another great day of action on the Wanderer.
Several big Dorados got the action started early, and in the afternoon a fierce Blue Marlin hit the hooks.
Great work by Captain William to keep the fight short and excellent fish handling by Mate Johnson.

FishingNosara Hall of Famer Derrell McCrary returned to the Wanderer for a full day of legendary blue water action.
His posse of Tampa-based anglers has been fishing on the big blue beauty since 2011, but nothing could prepare them for this Marlin assault.
This feisty Striped Marlin came calling early in the trip, and was well-handled by Mate Johnson.
Less than an hour later the real monster came calling…this MASSIVE Black Marlin is one for the ages!
She put on a show but Captain William stayed one step ahead of this Marlin to keep the fight as short as possible.
The final piece of the Grand Slam puzzle fell into place at the end of the trip. This Sailfish release puts the finishing touch on the most difficult feat in fishing: Billfish Grand Slam!

Later the Sailfish bite heated up with this challenging Double Sailfish release followed up with a third Sailfish right at the end of the half-day trip.
Pretty sweet for just a half day trip!

The offshore bite has been heating up, and Captain Carlos has been stalking his offshore prey in the big battleship Discoverer.
