Bonita Armstrong’s family had a wonderful day of fish-catching on November 28. Captain Fito report a fantastic Blue Marlin release; the bait was this 6lbs. Bonita that they scored earlier in the day.
The amazing action continued with multiple Yellowfin Tuna and Dorado catches.
“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.
We love to help youngster get acclimated to the craft of bluewater sportfishing, and on the 22nd Master Captain William kept the lines bent for this family.
After warming up on small fish, they moved a little further offshore and nagged some big Yellowfin Tunas and a nice Dorado.
On November 18 the Explorer delivered a great fishing experience for this young angler.
It’s always a treat to show kiddos the art of blue water fishing in Costa Rica.
Nice job by the barroom brawler!
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.

Safe released as always, this tactic proves again why Captain William is a true master!
