Jason Lilley and his family released a pair of Sailfish on the Wanderer:
It’s great to see youngsters getting this close to the action, and Mrs. Lilley also got her feet wet with a nice Sailfish of her own.
Great family fishing by the mighty Wanderer.
The Wanderer always has another trick up her sleeve…a 2.5 hour sunset trip is not enough time to go scare up a billfish, right?
Wrong! She scored this awesome Sailfish release and was still back in Garza in time for dinner. Great work by the flagship!
Great day on the Wanderer for client Thomas DuPuis, who scored a pair of excellent Sailfish.
Captain William always finds the route to Sailfish City, and First Mate Alex is accustomed to sweeping the streets for Sails. Great hunting and great releases by the mighty Wanderer!
Dominic Licari brought his hard-fishin’ crew down from West Palm Beach, FL and they logged three solid days of fishing on the mighty Wanderer.
The highlight of their trips came on June 24:
This Blue Marlin is estimated at 400lbs. and she put up everyone ounce of fight she could muster.
This South Florida team also notched a pair of Sailfish releases, backed up by a few nice Yellowfin Tunas.
Great work by Captain William and First Mate Alex on the famous flagship!
Our friend John Garris had a blast on the Explorer with the dynamic brother duo of Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin. Joined by Jeff Grosshandler, they scored a pair of Sailfish releases backed up by a nice Dorado.
They also captured this excellent footage of Dolphins flanking the Super Panga:
Pedro’s Posse scored big today with Sherry catching her first ever Sailfish.
Another lady who proves that Northeast Florida is home to some of the fiercest anglers on the planet.
Great send-off for Pedro’s Posse on the mighty Wanderer!
Garza Bay was rocked by a unusual swell event on July 6, which meant we had to pull all the boats from the water and wait for the waves to calm down.
Florida anglers Ken Cox and John Benton had to wait a day to kick-off their fishing expedition, but once the swell passed we were back on the water!
They got off to a quick start with a nice Sailfish release on July 7.
Also check out this wonderful Roosterfish release:
They followed up with some nice Yella Fellas for the ice box. “Just ate a pound of raw tuna. Like eatin butter,” said John. “Awesomest day of fishing ever.”
Things boiled over on July 9 when a MASSIVE Marlin hit the baits and put on a fireworks show for Ken Cox.
Kirk and Jan Wurster finished their fishing adventure on July 4 with a trip offshore; after besting Roosters and Snappers inshore the logical choice was to see what was biting in the blue water 10 miles out.
The early bite brought in this nice Dorado:
Later in the afternoon the line screamed off and Kirk belted up to battle a big Sailfish!
Excellent boat handling by Captain William kept the fight short and sweet while First Mate Alex ensured a safe release.
Captain David’s rampaging ways have continued this week on the Discoverer. The hits have come in fast moving waves, like this pair of wonderful Sailfish releases.
The new battleship also picked up a pair of Rooster fish which were released as usual.
Great work by Captain David!
Two-time FishingNosara Hall of Famers Rick Blackburn and Chuck Harris have returned to Nosara for a frenzied week of fishing
They got off to a great start with the Wanderer on June 16 with a fantastic pair of Sailfish releases.
Though Rick and Chuck have bested many billfish with us, this is the first releases for these new members of their group. Let’s hope this is the first of many for these guys.
Two great catches by the Good Doctors backed up by two safe releases by the Wanderer‘s fearless crew!
