Captain Fico is a master of both inshore fishing and offshore blue water battling, evidenced by this healthy Sailfish release.
Great fish handling by Mate Elias to see this beauty released alive and well.

The legendary Dan Johnson rejoined the Wanderer for a billfish hunt on February 27, and along with his daughter Delaney Johnson scored a big Blue Marlin backed up by a nice Sailfish.
This monster weighs well over 300lbs. and is certainly a breathtaking achievement.
Delaney’s Sailfish was no slouch either, putting up a big fight on the way to a safe release.

FishingNosara Hall of Famer George Shipley was one of the Explorer‘s first clients, fishing on the super panga in February 2011 and posting the boat’s first ever Double Sailfish release.
He returned on the 25th and added another sweet Sailfish release to his ever-growing scorecard.

Joe Goins’ group nabbed a world-class Marlin with Captain William on February 24.
This monster put on an above-the-water acrobatic display as the mighty flagship fought her all the way to a safe release.
They also added a Sailfish to round out the scorecard:
Great way to finish the week for Team Goins!

Our old friend Joe Goins gave up on the snowy Northeast weather in favor of a full week of hot fishing with Captain William in late February.
From the 20th to the 24th Mr. Goins and his family fished everyday for eight hours per day; that’s some serious fishing!
This small Striped Marlin fought just as fiercely as its full grown brothers, but the mighty Wanderer was up to the task.
There was plenty of meat for the dinner table as well, thanks to this nice Dorado.
Still the target of the week was big billfish, and Captain William did not disappoint.
They closed out the week with another juvenile Striped Marlin release.
Fantastic work by the Goins posse and the fantastic flagship!
