Shawn and Jen Riley won their trip to Nosara from the Wavemasters Surfing Tournament last year in Jacksonville, and their half day on the Wanderer delivered two excellent Sailfish releases backed up by a big Dorado on ice.

Jen was the hot rod for the day, breaking the ice early with the Dorado and closing the day with the second Sailfish release.

Shawn followed up with a big Sailfish that almost took him into the drink for a bath!

Great work from another in long line of fish-catching Northeast Florida clients.

Emily Fuller and her friends had a field day on the Wanderer with three Sailfish released and a pair of big Dorados for the dinner table.

Emily routed the first Sailfish alongside the flagship for a smooth release early in the trip.

After the release, they were treated to many Dorado strikes with four green monsters put on ice.

The action stayed strong later in the trip with two more Sailfish releases notched on the scoreboard.

That is some intense action for only a 5 hour trip. Great work by the Master Captain William and the Super Mate Alex!

Big Fish and Big Smiles for Keith Siegal and his posse on board the Wanderer. This fun-loving group of Texans took got their afternoon half day started with this excellent Dorado.

Later in the trip they were rewarded with an acrobatic Sailfish assaulting the flagship’s baits. It was a wild fight, but as usual the Wanderer was victorious.

Great hunting by Captain William and excellent fish handling by the awesome First Mate Alex!

Maikel Cotton’s group exploded onto the scene on the mighty Wanderer with a Striped Marlin release backed up by several Sailfish and a few Dorados for good measure.

This Stripey was the highlight of the trip and is estimated by First Mate Alex to weigh in around 250lbs.

Captain William has the map to Sailfish City and once again put his clients right on top of a swarm of super Sailfish.

Dorado filets round out this trip for these fun-loving clients!

Great work all around by Captain William and First Mate Alex, the Kings of Garza Bay!

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!

The blue water has moved extremely close to shore this week to the delight of our holiday anglers. Check out these blue water specimens caught less than 5 miles from shore:

This is why fishing in our area is the best bang-for-your-buck fishing in the world…most boats have a 40+ mile trip to find these monsters, while here in Garza they are in the front yard.

The Cooper Family had a fantastic fishing day on the Explorer with Captain David and Mate Kevin.

Mr. Cooper kicked off the action with a nice Dorado catch.

Thing really heated up in the afternoon as the Explorer was beset by wave after wave of Sailfish strikes.

Sarah Cooper scored this mammoth release, but right on the heels of this fish swimming away Jessica nabbed one of her own. These were the first Sailfish for each of these ladies, but they bested the beasts with the precision of old pros.

Mate Kevin saw to the safe releases as Captain David stayed one step ahead of these rocket ships. Great day of action on the super panga!

Brent Mileur and his daughter had a great day of action on the legendary Explorer with Captain David and Mate Kevin.

Dorado was on the menu and this group snagged a trio of tasty green goblins.

Nice work from the crew of the baddest Super Panga in town!

Kyle Lewis and his friends took to the blue water on the unstoppable Explorer and bagged some great-eatin’ fish for their week in Nosara.

First up was this big Yellowtail snapper; this is the second whopper of this variety this week and is certainly a Christmas treat for our anglers.

Kyle finished off their trip with this big Dorado. Yummy!

Captain Carlos welcomed Justin Bunting and his lady for a half-day trip on the Adventurer and the sneaky 23-footer got the drop on a trio of tasty Dorados.

Big boat or small, these fish can’t tell the difference when Captain Carlos is on the hunt. Great job by these anglers and the up-and-coming Adventurer.
