The Wanderer scored big on the inshore reefs with a pair of Rooster Fish releases on a morning half day.
That may be the biggest Rooster of the season so far, and the second one was no slouch:

Our main man Arturo took a break from running the North Guiones Beach office to do a little ‘research’ with Captain Fico on the Adventurer.
The little big man scored this hefty Rooster fish, then followed it up with a tasty Cubera Snapper for the dinner table.
Great work by Numero Uno!

Thomas and Ruth Martin kept the Wanderer‘s hot streak running on March 21 with a morning full of Rooster Fish releases and the afternoon swarmed with Sailfish.
Captain William got to Sailfish City right on time for the 1pm bite and these high-flying pelagics gave Thomas and the boys all they wanted!
Safe released like always by First Mate Alex.

Ken and Brenda Russell’s group posted another stellar day of action on March 18, highlighted by this incredible Marlin release by angler Misti Nolan.
They also snagged a Sailfish release and a nice Dorado while they were offshore.
Excellent Dorado score by Larry Komenda:
Captain William didn’t rest on his laurels on this 8 hour trip, as he made it back inshore in time to squeeze another magnificent fish into the day.
Great Rooster fish…certainly looks like it still has some fight in it!

Captain Fico has the Adventurer dialed-in and clients are reaping the rewards. Check out this excellent Rooster fish release:
They also scored a nice 25lbs. Cubera Snapper for the fishbox.
Great action from the powerful pocket-knife.

Our good friend Eddie Showalter returned to Costa Rica for another foray into the blue water, and brought his friends Mike Neeland and Laura Lanoue.
Laura was thrilled to see that one of her prior conquests is immortalized in our Guiones Beach Office.
She repeated her Sailfish success on the Discoverer with this outstanding release:
She also added a fine Rooster fish release, and got an up close look at a mean old shark.
Safely returned to the water by Mate Juan Carlos, this pez gallo is quite a fish-catching accomplishment.

Client Jeff Denesyk joined the Wanderer for a half day trip on March 16 and scored two trophy fish from both ends of the aquatic spectrum.
This pair of Pacific Sailfish releases was an early morning surprise. Captain William doesn’t waste any time getting to the fishing grounds!
After a safe release, the Wanderer headed inshore where Jeff scored an excellent Rooster fish:
Another live release by First Mate Alex is the icing on the cake. Great work by the flagship!

Larry Komenda and Misti Nolan and Ken and Brenda Russell hail from upstate New York and we were stoked to get them some much needed fun in the sun. Their last trip to Costa Rica was during our legendary late-August bite and saw them scored a single-day record of Marlin releases on the Explorer
This time the mighty Wanderer also treated them to multiple trophy fish releases. They started the day inshore with a hefty Rooster Fish release:
Then Captain William headed off-shore and got them out in front of a pack of hungry Sailfish.
The Sailfish were starving for bait and First Mate Alex was more than happy to feed them some fat ballyhoo with a side of 9/0 circle hooks!
Everyone on board got a release and it was all big smiles for the Russell group.

All quickly caught and safely returned by First Mate Alex.

The Wanderer changed things up on March 4 by staying inshore and plying the reefs just outside Garza Bay.
A nice Rooster fish release was the first fish of the day, safe released like always.
Fast on the heels of this pez gallo release was another Rooster fish, this one much bigger than the first.
The third Rooster was the biggest of them all…check out the fight in the feathered fish!
Near the end of the trip they boated this MASSIVE Amberjack.
Great inshore action on the famous Wanderer!
