Captain David scored a MAMMOTH Blue Marlin with client Chad Grimes of North Carolina on August 22.
This beast is every bit of 300lbs. and is truly the fish-of-a-lifetime.
They followed up with a nice Sailfish release later in the day.
Fantastic work by Captain David, Mate Juan Carlos, and Fico from the Adventurer.
The Wanderer keep up her strong performance into late August as Captain William delivered three great Sailfish releases for his clients.
First Mate Alex put on a demo for our new boathand Mate Johnson on the finer points of Sailfish releasing.
Looks like it’s rubbing off!
Wonderful work by the flagship!
Captain David is dialed-in on the Discoverer and his clients reaped the rewards this month.
Sailfish releases have been plentiful, headlined by this 200lbs.+ monster:
The big battleship backed that up with several more great releases:
Meat fish have been on the menu for Captain David’s clients, with Yellowfin Tuna ranging from 20lbs. to well over 50lbs.

Buz Underill and his family started their week of fishing with a blast of blue water action.
First up was this 30lbs. Dorado gobbled up by their youngest angler.
Then is was Pop’s turn to duel a Dorado, and he scored the fish of the day with this 60+lbs. Mahi:
It’s always a treat to see a youngster holding a fish that most likely outweighs him.
The grown-ups took over in the afternoon with a nice Sailfish release.
Excellent hunting by Captain William backed up by superb fish-handling by the incomparable First Mate Alex.
North Carolina’s own Chad Grimes brought his buddies to Nosara for a week of big blue water fishing action.
They started their campaign on the Explorer with great early results.
After these great Sailfish releases, the crew got a visit from a special visitor: the rare Spotted Whale Shark:
This beauty came close enough to the boat for Chad to actually touch it…a very rare and wonderful treat!
Jacksonville’s own Brian Comer won his trip to Nosara through the annual Florida Sportsman Magazine Expo, and like most of our Northeast Florida anglers he found great success on the Pacific’s blue water.
After their big Marlin score earlier in the week, they followed up with a pair of Sailfish releases on an afternoon half day with Captain Carlos.
Great fish-handling by Mate Kevin to see these beasts swim free.
Craig and Paula took a trip on the Wanderer with grandbaby Kylee in tow, and the Sailfish showed up in numbers.
Kylee has been watching FishingNosara DVDs since she was born, and she proved her prowess on the boat…this kid keeps her eyes glued to the baits like an old salty dog.
Craig scored some Sailfish releases and Kylee finally got to see the live 3D version the the DVDs she enjoys so much.
The Wanderer welcomed client JP Jones and his friends for and offshore Sailfish battle on August 10.
Overcast skies kept the water’s surface temperature cool, luring the big billfish to the surface where they hit the baits early and often.
Great performance from First Mate Alex to coordinate the fights and Captain William to stay on the bite.
This group had such fun that they extended their trip on the spot, yielding several more Sailfish releases.
Big Sailfish and big smiles on the Wanderer!
These boys put a whipping on a swarm of Sailfish on a full day trip August 5.
These monsters boast remarkable beauty, especially on a day where the water is super-clear.
Excellent hunting by Captain William and great safe releases by First Mate Alex.
The Explorer closed out the month strong…fresh on the heels of several Marlin releases, they continued to score multiple Sailfish releases in late July:
Also they snagged a sweet Dorado for the dinner table:
