The First Family of FishingNosara hit the water on July 1 for an excellent day of action with Captain William and First Mate Alex. Daniel Shields and his sister Brooke Shields are the children of FishingNosara’s only Lifetime Hall of Famer, the venerable Richmond Phipps, and they were joined by their cousin Tim Anderson and Dan’s wife Maria Yetty on the flagship Wanderer.
The highlight of the day’s action was this excellent Rooster fish releases, estimated by First Mate Alex to weigh 50lbs. A little rain didn’t stop these tough anglers
Excellent catch by our great friends!

Great work by Captain David!
Sergio’s group of Tampa anglers have found excellent action on the inshore reefs outside Garza Bay. On June 8 the Wanderer scored this excellent specimen of Rooster Fish:

Richard Tullis helped finish out a great week of fishing for the Odd Couples, with this fun Rooster Fish release.
We welcomed a big fun group of folks from our hometown of Jacksonville, FL and they scored some great inshore lunkers aboard the Wanderer.
Henry Starling, Rick Tullis, Richard Hosey, and Mike Glenn brought their families along for this inshore conquest and it is safe to say that all mouths were fed by these excellent Cubera Snappers.
They also added a pair of trophy releases in the form of these excellent Rooster Fish:
Great work by this posse of North Florida anglers!
Komis Psaros’ group added to their legend by following up their Double Sailfish release with a beautiful Rooster Fish release.

On March 10 Drew Honeycutt and his crew followed up their great Sailfish action with a bit of inshore fishing to start their day on the Wanderer. They scored a real nice fish in the form of this 25lbs. Rooster fish.
Once this pez gallo was swimming free, Captain William took the boys back out to Sailfish City for another run at some high-flying action.
They released a pair of Sailfish, but they’ll never let go of these great trophy fish memories.
Awesome work by the mighty flagship!
Ben James and Captain Carlos released the biggest Rooster Fish of the year on board the Adventurer on February 3.
