Another fantastic Sailfish releases for the 23-foot Adventurer. Check out this blue water beastie:
Later in the day these boys added a 15-20lbs. Dorado for the dinner table.
Excellent work all around by Captain Carlos and these kids.

Melanie Law and her boys enjoyed a relaxing sunset cruise on the Adventurer, plus they went home with an array of rare tuna filets.
Check out the Rainbow Tuna (left) and the White Tuna that these fellas roped in. Great work by Captain Carlos and these young anglers!

Excellent day of Dorado action for Irene and Bruce Page on the Wanderer.
The green monsters came in at a steady pace and the whole group got a change to master these Mahi Mahi.
Some people think that First Mate Alex has to best gig in town, but it’s not all smiling in the photos with world class fish…guess who got to release this accidental Shark by-catch?
All in a day’s work for the famous Wanderer!

Sheila and Eric Wollam brought their family down to Nosara and took advantage of the great fishing action this week. These Texas anglers put on a show with two Sailfish releases and two big Dorados for the dinner table.
It’s great to see a family enjoying their time on the water and reminds us of what fishing is really all about.
Excellent job by the mighty flagship Wanderer and the Wollam family.

Kirk Sandifer and his group enlisted the flagship Wanderer for a morning half day, and they had a brilliant day of blue water fishing. The action started early with a nice trio of Sailfish releases early in the day.
The action intensified when a mammoth Blue Marlin flew through the spread and was expertly hooked by First Mate Alex.
This fight was on, but this monster was no match for Art and the boys.
First Mate Alex turned this Marlin loose, but the Sailfish bite stayed hot yielding another pair of excellent releases.
The walk off shot was the release of ANOTHER big Blue Marlin!
This beast is by far the largest Marlin of the season so far and is truly the fish of a lifetime.
Masterful work by the legendary duo of Captain William and First Mate Alex of the famous Wanderer.
Two Marlins and four Sails on a 5hr. trip? That is the stuff of legend!
“We had a great trip in Nosara, I only wished we could have fished more. The one day with Captain William and Alex, we released 5 sails and 1 blue Marlin.”
“As I was hoping for, my son who just celebrated his nineteenth birthday caught his first bill fish; 1 sail at 9:30 AM and a blue at 11AM.”
“Great day with your team Alex is a beast and William landed us on the bills. They work so good together we just decided to stay out of their way.”
“Our hook up ratio was strong, something like 6 for 9 strikes.”
“Awesome day in Costa Rica. Pura Vida baby!!!”

Tilford Smith and his boys had a big time on board the Wanderer with reports of big Dorados, bigger Sailfish, and the super-big-time Double Sailfish Release!
Mr. Smith got things off to a quick start with this Sailfish release (above), then the boys got down to business.
Captain William has a sixth sense with Sailfish and the mighty Wanderer was on her game this day!
They each released a Sailfish, then the magical double strike occurred just after 1pm.
Safe releases all around by the incomparable First Mate Alex.
They also boated a pair of nice Dorados for the dinner table, illustrating that the Wanderer is truly the best all-around vessel in Garza Bay.

Carter Peobody signed up the Wanderer for a quick 2.5 hour trip to the reefs and he had a singular focus in mind: Rooster fish.
Fishin’ accomplished! Great work by the master hunter Captain William to stalk this beauty and by First Mate Alex on the safe handling and release.

Jon Salem and his group took the blue water by storm on December 26 with lots of great near-shore blue water action.
Early in the afternoon the kids roped in some big Dorados.
A pair of high-flying Sailfish would come calling late in the day, and the Wanderer showed her stuff with two nice releases.
Great work by this group of Tampa, FL-based angler and the mighty flagship.

Hendrik Engel spent Christmas day on the Explorer with Captain David and Mate Kevin. The Super Panga delivered some gifts for this family…two Sailfish a-leaping!
We expect to see Hendrik later this season for a return visit to Sailfish City.
Great work by the barroom brawler

David Pippins’ boys hail from the heart of Jacksonville, FL and they turned in a very productive half-day on the Super Panga Explorer with Captain David. They boated a pair of thick Dorados, then backed it up with a smaller duo of Yellowfin Tuna.
Great work by the barroom brawler and these boys from our backyard!
