The battleship Discoverer deliver the fish-of-a-lifetime for Al Santiesteban and his family on their final fishing day:

This monster Blue Marlin is an angling accomplishment that many travel the world’s oceans in pursuit of, and the excitement generate by this catch can’t be overstated.

As has become their habit, this fishing family added a few more Sailfish to their scorecard later in the trip, rounding out an excellent week of fishing action.

 

 

 

Al has already booked a return trip in late-March and we expect another fantastic performance upon his return.

The Discoverer has been on a billfish-battling mission this month and on November 28 welcomed Al Santiesteban’s family along with Craig Sutton and Danny ‘Shake n Bake’ Baker for a great trip offshore.

They conquered five Pacific Sailfish, then turned their attention inshore where they bested a nice Dorado and a beefy Amberjack:

Great work all around from the crew of the battleship Discoverer!

Like many of our past anglers, Tracey Stubits and crew hail from Northeast Florida near the original port of call for our flagship Wanderer.

The blue beauty sensed the presence of these Fernandina Beach fishermen and scored a HUGE BLACK MARLIN backed up by several nice Sailfish releases.

This monster gave a deep bulldog fight, but in the end couldn’t outmaneuver the famous flagship with Captain William on the wheel.

Nice release by First Mate Alex of a fish that is too big to fit in a picture!

Team Stubits also put three Sailfish releases on the scorecard: two in the morning, and the final one late in the day.

Great work by the best boat in the bay, the mighty Wanderer!

The Discoverer welcomed Al Santiesteban’s family for their third trip of the week and performed beautifully with multiple Sailfish releases.

These Tampa Bay anglers have a knack for great catches, but believe me you won’t see monsters like this lurking under the Howard Franklin Bridge!

Later in the trip young Bryce added this respectable Dorado, ensuring that this great fishing family has a few filets for the refrigerator.

In the afternoon the flagship was pleased to welcome Al Santiesteban and his family to Nosara for a full week of fishing.

These guys traveled a rocky road to get from Florida to Nosara, complete with passport issues in Miami and fog delays at the San Jose Airport.

However the good karma they earned from these obstacles led to hot fishing action. Check out this Sailfish release late in the day on the 25th:

Great work by Mate Kevin to help with the fight and see to the safe release of this beautiful fish.

The Wanderer welcomed an excellent group of anglers for an offshore adventure that saw a monumental FIVE Sailfish releases!

Mate Kevin (on loan from the Explorer) has distinguished himself as a great fish-handler, and these safe releases are the perfect end to a great billfish battle.

With all these fish swimming free, you may think that these clients left the boat empty handed. Not so!

With four nice Dorados on ice, these folks will have full bellies for the rest of their time in Nosara.

Great catching by the mighty flagship!

Our main man Kestrel Dickerson was back on the water on November 20 looking to follow up his great inshore action from last year with equal success offshore.

The Wanderer is fit for all forms of fish fighting, and Kestrel added to his legacy with this great Sailfish release.

The rest of the day was punctuated with excellent Dorado action for the whole family:

Excellent work as usual from the mighty flagship!

Corey Cabral and his posse had a fantastic half-day trip on the Wanderer will great Sailfish action backed up with thick Yellowfin Tuna

Captain William is off to a fast start this season…with this trio of releases he is already at ten Sailfish releases and we are still in the first month!

It’s an unusual treat to see beefy Yella Fellas this early in the season, but trust me that no one is complaining!

Great fishing by the flagship Wanderer and these excellent Naples, FL anglers.

John Shellhorn returned to the Wanderer for his third and final trip of the week, and the action was blisteringly hot for this Jacksonville Beach angler.

Captain William led the way to Sailfish City and the flagship scored big with four billfish released.

The highlight of the day was a Double Sailfish hookup!

Outstanding fish handling by First Mate Alex to ensure the safe release of both of these magnificent monsters.

For good measure they also scored this beefy Dorado to round out an excellent day of fishing.
