The brother combo of Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin makes fishing on the Explorer a family affair, so what better place to bring the kids for an introduction to blue water fishing.

Decked out in her new FishingNosara hat, this little angler scored a big Sailfish with the super panga.

They released a few more Sails throughout this very memorable day on the water.

Alabama’s own Andrew Nichols brought his kids along for an inshore hunt, and First Mate Alex was well prepared with lots of Mullets in the livewell.

This little Cierro Mackeral was the ice-breaker, and was a sign of a great day to come.

How’s a gargantuan Cubera Snapper sound to get the ball rolling?

You know its a memorable fish with Captain William gets a picture for his scrapbook!

The Wanderer headed a few miles offshore in the afternoon and snared a nice Sailfish release.

Our old pal Hubble Keller brought the whole family down for a few days of fishing fun in Costa Rica. Three generations of Kellers were onboard for a combination inshore/offshore trip on the Wanderer.ย 

After this nice Sailfish release, the flagship retreated inshore to ply the 80-foot waters over Pincha Padre.

The big boys were a little sleepy, but the group still had action on some Bonitas and Jack Crevelles…nothing for the dinner table but a bunch of fun nonetheless.

On March 29 Roy Forster brought his kids along for morning half day on the Wanderer. They stayed inshore and enjoyed some good rod-bending action.

After warming up on some feisty Jack Crevelles, Roy scored a big old Ponpano…perfect for cevieche!

The Wanderer bid adios to Roy and the family, then welcomed Hanna Copp and her kids for another round of inshore action.

 

This Cierro Mackeral is certainly a tasty fish, plus they added a few more Jack Crevelles near the end of the trip.

One day, two happy fishing families for the Wanderer.

It’s unusual for us to get an email from a client mere minutes after they get back to shore, but Roy Jackson hit us up with the email titled: Awesome Day!

“4 sails and one 400 lb marlin. Got some great HD video of the marlin on the gopro. That was a long 45 minutes to land it.

Now let’s enjoy some photos from this fight:

 

The rest of the day had strong action for Roy and the whole family.

The kids really put on a show with a Double Sailfish release, expertly coordinated by First Mate Alex.

It’s always great to see youngsters posting such great results. Fantastic fishing day by the Jackson family and the mighty Wanderer!
