Lots of family fun and fishing action for client Scott Hansen on December 27.

Great work by this hard-fishin’ family!

In the afternoon the Wanderer took Shelly Peters’ boys offshore and found the fish of a lifetime around 2pm.
This monster Blue Marlin easily weighs over 400lbs. and is the kind of fish that most anglers work their entire lives to conquer.
Amazing work by these young anglers, who also added a nice Sailfish release late in the day:
Roosters in the morning and Billfish in the evening…the flagship proves again why she is the best boat in Costa Rica!

After several days of consistent action, Captain William and the Wanderer earned their spot on the ‘Nice’ list, and Santa filled their stockings with an extremely productive day of off-shore action.
Client John Gaviotis and his group scored a quartet of Sailfish releases early in the day, all safe released by Mate Johnson.
All these trophy releases worked up quite an appetite for the crew, so Captain William followed the porpoises to the Yellowfin Tuna feeding grounds.
Looks like Christmas filets all around for John Gaviotis and the crew of the Wanderer!

James Smith joined Captain William on the morning of the 23rd and got the day rolling with a fine Sailfish release.
This high-flyer was the only catch of the morning, however the ensuing afternoon bite was much more fruitful.

Returning FishingNosara Hall of Famer Leah Merryfield has returned with her posse of hard-fishin’ Texans for another three day campaign on the mighty Wanderer.
The Sailfish releases came fast and furious with many multiple hookups:
At the end of the day Captain William scored the finishing touch with a triple-hookup. All three fish were safely released.
Great work by Mate Johnson and First Mate Alex on this mammoth day of Sailfish releases:

The Sailfish-on-a-half day streak continued on December 22 as client Katie Sullivan and her group nabbed another sweet Sailfish release.
Consistency is the mark of a master, and they don’t get better than Captain William.

Michael Koerner and his family scored a swarm of Sailfish releases with Captain Carlos on December 22.
The whole family got in on the action, with safe releases performed by Mate Juan Carlos after the photos.
Great work by the Discoverer!

The half-day success stories continued with Brett Portham scoring a beautiful Pacific Sailfish on a quick 5hr. jaunt to the blue water.
Captain William has these Sailfish zeroed in and there is no escaping his masterful hunting skills!

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!
