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.
Trolling a few miles offshore they pulled in this nice 20lbs Dorado…not a monster by any stretch but still a really good-eatin’ fish!
The Wanderer hosted some excellent clients today for an inshore assault. Lisa Quam got the ball rolling with this sweet Cierro Mackerel:
Steve Bonczyk really set the water on fire with this excellent Rooster fish release. This beast fought like a bear…look at that rod doubled over!
First Mate Alex handled this fish with great care to ensure a quick and healthy release.
Great work by some great clients and the baddest boat in Garza bay the Wanderer!
Captain David is the lead dog when it comes to boat maintainace. He is on a hot streak this summer with the new panga boat and all the Explorer repairs finished in record time. So much so, that he took a few days this week to repaint the flagship Wanderer.
The Wanderer is on standby in Garza bay so naturally the staff at Nosara Paradise Rentals coerced Captain William and First Mate Alex to take them out for a little trip to the fish market.
The almost-finished rainy season has pushed a lot of felled trees down the rivers and out into the ocean; the Wanderer found such a trash line floating in front of Samarra about 6 miles east of Garza. With this much shade, any angler knows that green gold is hiding in the shadows.
Here are our two best drivers Fast Freddy (left) and Freddy Paloma (right) with a nice Dorado. Also our new office assistant Cynthia and our cheif mechanic Marino were on board for the mahi mayhem:
Great work by the Wanderer in keeping her craft sharp during the offseason.
