Adrian Paredes and his group had a big day with Captain William reporting seven Sailfish release on their July 13 trip.

Nice work by Mate Johnson to keep these fights short and sweet leading to safe releases.

Check out this high-flyer:

Big fish above the water means big smiles on board!

Later on they moved inshore and nabbed two swole Cubera Snapper:

“Great day on the water. Dreams came true on our trip to Nosara.” wrote Adrian in and email. ย “Thank you Captain William and mate Johnny for putting us on 7 beautiful sailfish and two tasty cubera snapper. I can’t wait to go back!”

Mike Tuzio had a great day on the Explorer with Captain Fico reporting a fantastic Sailfish release.

“I just wanted to drop a line and tell you that we had an excellent time,” wrote Mike.

“We had one great sailfish release and another one threw the hook unfortunately but they guys did everything they could to put us on fish and we’re both a great help.”

The Harvester had the biggest day of her short career on January 27 with 11 Sailfish releses, including a Triple Hookup / Double release:

What a day for clients Greg Tilley along with Laura and Todd Horton…it certainly didn’t take Captain Alex long to get the Mega Panga dialed in!

Here’s what the clients wrote on Facebook:

“Fishing in Costa Rica is awesome! If you every get the chance…..GO!!!! We doubled up twice and tripled once. Caught a total of 20 sailfish on 30 bites. It takes a pretty good captain to get 3 sailfish to the boat at the same time and released”

“The first triple for thie Harvester. (landed and released all three fish) We also had two doubles (2nd & 3rd for Harvester)and the 1st time getting the 2 fish pictured together. Captain Alex and mate Kevin did an awesome job and I highly recommend them if you ever get to fish in Costa Rica.” – Greg Tilley

“Alex and Kevin are the ticket! Great captain and mate combo! Keep up the good work!” – Todd Horton

Jon Branson is the latest in a long line of Texas anglers who’ve scored big on the flagship Wanderer.

Captain William is stoked to be back on the water and he picked up right where he left off last season with this nice Sailfish release.

Later in the day they found a large pod of feeding porpoises and the Wanderer deftly pulled a beefy Yellowfin Tuna from under Flipper’s nose:

Great work by the flagship during her glorious return to the water.

 

Craig,

 

Just wanted to let you know that we returned from our trip yesterday and had a great time.
The staff were outstanding both on the boats and in the office. ย We truly enjoyed our stay and look to return at some point in the future. ย Possibly the fishing tournament in April.
Please let everyone one know that we really appreciated their hospitality.

“The day was all about perseverance,” writes Patrick Vincent. “It was a little disheartening to see a giant blue marlin smash the teaser before we even had a bait in the water this morning. Then there was a slow morning bite.

Minutes after my afternoon nap, we were rewarded with a double header of sailfish. We quickly released twin 100lb Pacific sails.

Later in the day, we got to see one hell of a show. 200lb yellowfin tuna crashing sardines on the surface. I’ve never seen anything like 200lb yellow torpedoes going airborne while feeding!

What a great note to end our fishing on!

Well, the father/son billfish beatdown in Costa Rica has come to a close. We finished the week with 1 blue marlin, 2 striped marlin, and 11 sailfish. I’m back in Atlanta safe and sound, I guess it’s time to go back to the real world.

The big boats were busy so Team Vincent chose the 23-foot Adventurer for some inshore action on June 11.

Their day broke with a big surprise…in nice Pacific Sailfish had wandered in less than 3 miles from shore.

“Some offshore fish crashed our inshore party,” Patrick reports. “We went 1 for 5 on sailfish, then scored two small yellowfin tuna, a mahi, 3 bonitos, a cubera snapper, a mullet snapper, and a jack.”

“Nice day on a small inshore boat.”

It ain’t easy to keep the pressure on the blue water beasties after a Grand Slam (June 9), but Master Captain William makes the difficult look easy with extreme regularity.

Team Vincent marked up the scorecard again on June 10 with Sailfish being the main score of the day.

“We started the day with a triple header of sailfish, catching 2, an 80lb and a 100lb.”

“We moved the boat another 100 feet, then caught another sailfish, this time 90lbs.”.

“We finished out the day by catching another 100lb sailfish on the way in.”

Patrick and his dad have one more day on the Wanderer, so fingers-crossed that the hot streak continues.

June 9, 2015

June 9 was a landmark day for the Wanderer and the Vincent boys…let’s have Patrick tell the story:

“Today, with help from my Dad, I accomplished a fishing dream!”

“Together we caught a Billfish Grand Slam which means we caught three different species of Billfish in one day.”

“We caught a 200lb Blue Marlin, a 100lb Striped Marlin, and two Pacific Sailfish at 130lbs and at 80lbs!”

“It’s something to be proud of and always remembered and I couldn’t think of a better person to share it with than my dad!”

Mark Perdue joined the barroom brawler for two full days of fishing and they scored big with Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin.

“The first day we went out, we had a double hookup with Carlos and Kevin in the Explorer in the first 20 minutes.”

“Then we found an old dilapidated net about 12 miles out and caught a couple of 80lb Dorado and as many smaller ones we could catch.”

“Plus many small yellowfin tuna. ย Caught fish around the net on almost every cast with spinning gear.”
