North Carolina’s own Chad Langley, Kevin Poole, Brad Simons, and Ben James put in a solid week of fishing on the pangas before stepping up to the flagship Wanderer on February 4.

Captain William put the blue beauty out in front of a pack of Sailfish and these boys pulled off four incredible releases.

The peak of the bite saw a triple-strike, however one of the Sails spit the hook…still you wanna talk about an exciting moment, this is it!

This was the final Sailfish release of the day and just might be the biggest of the bunch.

 

Nice fish-handling by First Mate Alex to see that all of these sweet Sailfish swam off safely.

They added a trio of swollen Dorados to round out an excellent angling performance.

I don’t know what it is about these North Carolinians but they sure can fish!

Sonny Strohl and the boys stepped up the flagship Wanderer today and they had billfish on the brain. Captain William set course for Sailfish City while First Mate Alex prepared an irresistible spread.

The Sailfish hit the lures aggressively as First Mate Alex expertly dropped the ballyhoo. The hook set and the fight was on.

Captain William kept these fights short and ensured the safe release of all Sailfish.

They also returned to shore with a sack of Mahi filets, care of this nice Dorado catch.

All around great day of action for the flagship Wanderer!

Clifford Jordan had a stellar day on board the Explorer with a scorecard that can be defined as the perfect day of charter fishing.

They started off inshore and immediately put these two whopping Dorados in the fishbox.

Then Captain David pointed the barroom brawler off-shore early in the trip and they spend the morning getting hammered by Sailfish.

Great releases by Captain Carlos (of the Adventurer) to ensure the safe survival of all of these catches.

In the afternoon they returned inshore in search of more filets, and were rewarded with this giant Cubera Snapper.

For a victory lap they added this Yellowfin tuna…three kinds of filets plus several trophy releases? That’s what I call a perfect day!

The Gene Pleasants group come from the hard-fishin’ town of Raliegh, NC and these boys are no stranger to big fish in the blue water.

On their first of three scheduled trips with the Wanderer they has good action on the troll with several Dorados on ice.

It’s always nice to fill up the refrigerator at the beginning of the week; nobody’s going hungry in this group.

They missed on a couple of Sailfish strikes, but these North Carolina anglers will have plenty for chances to dance with some billfish this week.

Sarah Heekin is the latest in our long lineage of North Carolina anglers to come our way via the NC CCA, and like the rest of the recent anglers from the Tar Heel state her group absolutely tore them out of the frame.

Big Sailfish dominated the morningn, and after Mate Fico safely released the beasts Captain David set the spread to attract tasty Dorados.

This is the first of three trips for this group and we expect even more big catches and big smiles from the Sarah Heekin group.

Clifford Jordan came our way by bidding on a prize package offered through the North Carolina CCA.

Like many of our past anglers from the Tar Heel State, this group put on a fishing clinic with Captain David and Mate Fico on the Explorer.

Sailfish attacked early and often, but they were no match for the Super Panga.

 

All the fish were safely released by our newest mate, who has a lifetime of experience in Garza but it still getting acclimated to the FishingNosara way of fishing.

Still, you can see his calm demeanor is the way he handed this feisty Sailfish:

After four excellent releases, the party focused on the refrigerator by pulling in two tasty Dorados.

Great work by Captain David and Mate Fico…we expect big things from this Mate in the future but his cool presence in the cockpit is already a welcome addition to the team.

Our old buddy Francois Bernier returned to the Wanderer on January 25 hoping to improve on his December 2012 performance.

Back then he caught some big bottom fish and a few nice Dorados, but this trip saw Mr. Bernier best a beastly Sailfish.

After a safe release by First Mate Alex, Paige followed up with a big Dorado…seems like old times!

Great work by these fine folks and the ferocious flagship!
