“On April 29th on the Wanderer I had an experience of a lifetime!” wrote Mary Moynahan after her trip. “Since this trip to Costa Rica was my first time deep sea fishing, it’ll remain an experience I’ll never forget!”
“Starting off w/ a few Bonita (to try & catch a Rooster fish, w/ no luck. lol), to a barracuda eating my bonita & losing a sailfish…. To a 10’ 3” Black Marlin, weighing in close to 500lbs they say!!!!!”
“One of the hardest but most challenging 30 minutes of my life!”
“Many thanks to Capt. William & Mate, Elias!!!”

The Wanderer hosted a nice family day of fishing on March 15. They kept the rods bent with a lot of White Tunas and Bonitas snatched up near-shore.
With kids, sometimes is best to target easy-to-catch small fish than the big offshore monsters; it’s easier to teach the youngsters proper technique on more a more forgiving quarry.

The Wanderer delivered a great inshore experience for the Christine Franz group on January 5. First order of business was to acquire live-bait, and this 5lbs. Bonita fit the bill perfectly.
This morsel was re-hooked and sent to the bottom, where it was inhaled by this beautiful Rooster Fish:
Safe released as always, this tactic proves again why Captain William is a true master!
