Adrian Archuleta is back for more, and this time he brought a posse! Last year he fished with us on the Explorer but with a larger group came the step up to the flagship Wanderer.

The Sailfish have been on fire recently and this trip was a perfect example. Five total releases, including the very challenging Double Sailfish release.

 

 

Great work by the anglers and by Captain William to prevent a line-cross tangle. Next up the ladies put on a show for the fellas with some Sailfish releases of their own.

 

All fish were released safely as usual by the incomparable First Mate Alex.

Craig-

Had a great time!ย  What an amazing business you have going down there! Kudos to the great staff and can’t wait to return!ย 

Pura Vida

Our old pal Henry Doggrell joined client Richard Belgaske for an afternoon half day on the Wanderer and scored big. For a warm up Henry boated this White Tuna, which is eerily similar to his day with us back in 2011:

The left the reminiscing for later because 1pm means one thing in these waters: Sailfish Time!

This beauty fought Henry for about 20 minutes before being safely de-hooked and released. Great fishing from one of our favorite clients.

Lucy Edgerton booked a trip for her dad and together they bested a pair of beautiful Pacific Sailfish. First up was this beastie estimated to weigh 95lbs.

Then it was Lucy’s turn on the reel and she kept up her end of the bargain by battling another nice fish. This monster was wore out after a vigorous 15 minute fight.

Great fish handling by First Mate Alex and boat maneuvering by Captain William to ensure a safe and fun experience for all involved, fish included.

Ivan Sebastian fears no fish and he found the perfect boat for him the in Adventurer. Captain Carlos set the trolling spread up with big fish in mind, but when this monster Sailfish tore off a rigged ballyhoos even he was surprised at the force of this fish.

Only three billfish have been released on the 23-foot panga, but Ivan was determined to be lucky number four.

Fantastic boat handling and fish handling skill were displayed by the crafty Captain Carlos as Ivan Sebastian (and his brand new FishingNosara hat) bested this blue water beast.

Sam and Karen Guthrie capitalized on the swarms of Sailfish that have been blowing through our area like locusts. The mighty Wanderer put these clients in front of several super Sailfish.

After Sam fought and released the first one, it was Karen’s turn on the reel.

Wouldn’t you know that a second sail took the bait and set the table for another legendary Double Sailfish release.

Great work by Captain William putting them on the fish and First Mate Alex on the safe releases!

Jim Kramer and his group are big time anglers who hail from the hard-fishin’ state of Delaware. These First Staters booked up the Wanderer for a billfish hunt and were rewarded with three excellent Sailfish releases ranging from 80lbs. – 90lbs.

These fish fight hard, but Jim and his ladies fought a little harder.

Excellent second trip of the day for the blue bomber with a total of four Sailfish released on this Christmas eve.
