Captain David scored a MAMMOTH Blue Marlin with client Chad Grimes of North Carolina on August 22.

Fantastic work by Captain David, Mate Juan Carlos, and Fico from the Adventurer.
The Wanderer keep up her strong performance into late August as Captain William delivered three great Sailfish releases for his clients.

After their excellent action offshore, Buz Underill returned to the Wanderer and opted to stay in close to ply the reefs just outside Garza Bay.
They deployed our exclusive Cubera Snapper Tactic and scored big:
This monster weighs at least 50lbs. and its filets will pair nicely with the 80lbs. of Dorado they scored earlier in the week.
Great work by Mr. Underill and the crew of the flagship Wanderer.
Chad Grimes and his posse of North Carolina anglers put a hurtin’ on the inshore reef dweller on August 18 with the flagship Wanderer.
This monster Rooster fish release at the start of the day was just the tip of the iceberg.
They followed up with a MAMMOTH Cubera Snapper (unusual for so early in the day) and then added a late-day Rooster fish release.
Great work from our friends from CCA North Carolina!
Captain Fico has been rocking and rolling on the 23-foot Adventurer this month. Check out these excellent catches:
From Queen Snappers to Jack Crevelle, Captain Fico has the inshore reefs dialed-in and is providing big smiles for his clients:
Captain Fico snagged a Rooster fish of his own on an off day in mid-August.
Nice “day off” for Garza Bay’s fastest rising star.
Buz Underill and his family started their week of fishing with a blast of blue water action.
First up was this 30lbs. Dorado gobbled up by their youngest angler.
Then is was Pop’s turn to duel a Dorado, and he scored the fish of the day with this 60+lbs. Mahi:
It’s always a treat to see a youngster holding a fish that most likely outweighs him.
The grown-ups took over in the afternoon with a nice Sailfish release.
Excellent hunting by Captain William backed up by superb fish-handling by the incomparable First Mate Alex.
North Carolina’s own Chad Grimes brought his buddies to Nosara for a week of big blue water fishing action.
They started their campaign on the Explorer with great early results.
After these great Sailfish releases, the crew got a visit from a special visitor: the rare Spotted Whale Shark:
This beauty came close enough to the boat for Chad to actually touch it…a very rare and wonderful treat!
Captain Fico has been swarming the inshore reefs, with a bunch of excellent Rooster fish scores:
That’s no Instagram filter; it’s moisture on the camera lens, but look close and you can see super-sized Roosters.
Great work on the reefs by Captain Brujo!
Jacksonville’s own Brian Comer won his trip to Nosara through the annual Florida Sportsman Magazine Expo, and like most of our Northeast Florida anglers he found great success on the Pacific’s blue water.
After their big Marlin score earlier in the week, they followed up with a pair of Sailfish releases on an afternoon half day with Captain Carlos.
Great fish-handling by Mate Kevin to see these beasts swim free.
