Tom Kerl had such fun on his first two days with FishingNosara that he signed up the Wanderer for a victory lap to the blue water. The action kicked off with three meaty Dorados on ice with a beautiful Sailfish release for the finale.
These thick Dorado are a great sign…regular readers of the report may have noticed that so far this season the Mahi have not been huge, but this influx of 20+ lbs. Dorados means that the predatory billfish are not far behind.
This Sailfish was no match for Tom Kerl and the Wanderer and the flagship executed a picture-perfect catch and release of this pelagic.
Great work from the big blue beauty and our new friend Tom Kerl.

Tom Kerl followed up his excellent outing on the Wanderer with a fantastic day on the Explorer.ย Check out the biggest Dorado of the season so far:
That’s a tasty dish right there! Great work by Captain David on the Explorer…the little boat that no one saw coming is primed for another lights-out campaign this season.

Tom Kerl and his group had a blast on the Wanderer today with a total of four Sailfish releases!
Tom got things started with this fireballing Sailfish that put on a show about 20 feet from the back of the boat.
After the safe release of the Sailfish, the Wanderer‘s spread was attacked by a hunting pair of swift Sails.
First Mate Alex supervised this veteran anglers while Captain William put on a boat-maneuvering clinic; keeping two Sailfish on the line and separated from each other is no small feat, but for Captain William this is a walk in the park.
These Sailfish are a little big for the famous Double Sailfish release, so First Mate Alex cautiously released each fish separately.
Later in the day it was time for the Miss’ to step up to a mighty Sailfish and she had no problem executing this release. Notice from the photo that Alex is impressed that she is fighting the Sailfish standing-up, foregoing the Wanderer’s fighting chair.
After four trophy fish releases, the only thing left to worry about was dinner, which Tom brought home in the form of this 20lbs. Dorado.
Great memories, great photos, and great dinner…that’s a perfect day on the mighty Wanderer.
