The Wanderer lit the world on fire today with clients Joe Connell and Nan Dalton. This hard fishing duo had there hands full on the flagship with not one, but TWO big Marlin releases.

Nan was all over the first fish of the day and, with First Mate Alex’s help on the fighting chair managed to reel this first big monster all the way to the boat.

Joe matched her with a MASSIVE Marlin of his own. Both of these black beauties are definitely in the over 400lbs. club:

Either of these Marlin can be considered the ‘fish-of-a-lifetime’, and to get two in one day is truly astounding. Great performance on the first of four straight fishing days on the Wanderer for Joe and Nan.

The new combination of Captain Carlos and Mate Fico on the Explorer has already been impressive. Though new to this boat, both these men have fished in Garza for their whole lives with a combined 20+ years of pro fishing experience.

These Lone Star anglers enjoyed the fruits of that experience with three awesome Sailfish releases on just a five hour trip.

Excellent work from the new crew of the baddest panga you’ve ever seen: the fearless Explorer!

Jake Winchester has made himself a regular with the FishingNosara team with a half-dozen trips run in the last year. After a whole bunch of Extreme Panga Fishing he stepped up to the 31-foot Wanderer for his May 7 trip.

They tackled some tough Sailfish and notched the scorecard with two nice releases. This was the first time deep sea fishing for Tiffiney Walls from Enid, Oklahoma, but she fought this Sailfish like an old pro.

A special welcome awaited their return to Garza: this majestic Balena (‘whale’ in gringo) breeched the surface and slapped his tail, much to the delight of the clients.

Great fishing and great scenery on the big blue flagship Wanderer.

Our new friend Jon Athan is a hardcore surfer who has recently discovered Super Panga fishing, and in the last month he has been wearing out the reefs on board the Adventurer.

This Queen Snapper is a very rare catch for our area and the crew tells me that these are some of the best tasting fish in the ocean!

Mate Fico has kept Jon right on top of the bite and his catches got better and better over his three trips this month.

Great work by the new helmsman of the Adventurer and our new friend Jon Athan.

On May 7 the Explorer scored big with several Sailfish released.

With Captain David now on the 31′ Discoverer and Captain Carlos (now the Explorer‘s full time captain) welcoming his new baby home, Mate Fico and Mate Kevin were on board splitting the duties at the helm and in the cockpit.

We are proud to report that there was no drop off on the scorecard, and the Super panga did what she does: release billfish and deliver big smiles for her clients.

The hits keep on coming for the plucky Adventurer. Mate Fico took this couple out for a half day and they scored this brilliantly colored Amberjack. Check it out:

Who says you need a big boat to get big fish?

That is a very rare catch for our area and the crew tells me that these are some of the best tasting fish in the ocean. Truly this is a testament to the fish-finding power of the the Adventurer.

The Adventurer has seen some great action this month, but we always want to pay special attention to the catches recorded by our young anglers.

This father-son sunset trip on May 3 yielded some nice White Tuna catches (above), and the next day another youngster grabbed himself a sandwich-sized Dorado:

Great work by Fico and the family-friendly Adventurer.
