John McLaughlin booked the Wanderer for a 5-hour Half day trip and despite the short day still managed to score a nice Pacific Sailfish.
It sure is nice to have the blue water just a few miles from shore…less time driving = more time fishing!

Our old buddy Mike Burling has returned to Nosara from the hard-fishing town of Fernandina Beach, FL and once again scored wonderfully on our stretch of blue water.
The legendary Explorer was the scene of the battle, the highlight of which was this bonkers-big Yellowfin Tuna!
More big Yella Fellas were in the area, and met the same fate as their big brother:
They also nabbed few Sailfish releases:
They did have a big Marlin on the line, but the powerful beast spit the hook after a short sparring match with Mr. Burling.
That’s OK…we’ll get him next time!

Robert Dinan waylaid some more great fish on December 14, this time with Captain Carlos over on the Explorer.
Nice fish-handling by Mate Kevin led to safe releases of these Sailfish.

Hall of Famer Harris ‘El Matador’ Savin scored a bunch of nice billfish releases on the Discoverer
Safe releases by Mate Juan Carlos.

Team Arrich finished off their three days of fishing with more great action.
Here’s Angie’s Facebook post:
“Day #3 on the Wanderer with Captain William and Alex! Sailfish, 8 tuna and 2 Roosters! Thank you guys for an amazing 3 day adventure! You’ll be seeing us again for sure!”
Look at the size of these Yella Fellas:

Eric Dixon continued his light tackle fishing fiesta on the Discoverer with a nice Sailfish release backed up by some tasty Tunas.
Nice work by the boys on these yummy Yella Fellas!
Once again all of these fish were caught from a dead boat with 20lbs. spinning tackle…awesome!

Chris and Angie Arrich continued their fishin’ mission with a great second day of action with Captain William on the Wanderer.
In addition to the Sailfish score, they also added some Yellowfin Tuna to the fishbox:

Eric Dixon found a new way to challenge himself after his blistering tear of Marlin releases…how does fighting Pacific Sailfish on spinning rod with 20lbs. line sound for a challenge?
Mr. Dixon accomplished just that not once, but twice on December 1st on the Discoverer.
Fighting fish like this with ultra-light tackle from a dead-drift takes a light touch and a lot of skill, no doubt developed by Eric in the rivers around his home in Colorado.
Great accomplishment by Eric Dixon and the Discoverer.

Chris and Angie Arrich were the big winners of the Dodge Ram Rigged and Ready contest and they scored a squad of Sailfish releases on board the famous Wanderer.
Angie posted this to Facebook: “Our first full day here and spent it on the Wanderer yesterday with Captain William, Alex and Johnny! Thank you for an Amazing day! 3 sailfish! See you on Tuesday!”

Eric Dixon continues his dominance of the blue water with a monstrous Marline release reported on November 28 by Captain Carlos on the Discoverer.
Estimated at 250lbs.-300lbs., this beast was safely released by Mate Juan Carlos so we expect to catch her again once she gets even bigger.
Later in the day the Dixon boys pulled of an awesome Double Sailfish release, once again featuring expert fish-handling by Juan Carlos.
