James Smith joined Captain William on the morning of the 23rd and got the day rolling with a fine Sailfish release.




This high-flyer was the only catch of the morning, however the ensuing afternoon bite was much more fruitful.
Returning FishingNosara Hall of Famer Leah Merryfield has returned with her posse of hard-fishin’ Texans for another three day campaign on the mighty Wanderer.


The Sailfish releases came fast and furious with many multiple hookups:



At the end of the day Captain William scored the finishing touch with a triple-hookup. All three fish were safely released.









Great work by Mate Johnson and First Mate Alex on this mammoth day of Sailfish releases:

The Sailfish-on-a-half day streak continued on December 22 as client Katie Sullivan and her group nabbed another sweet Sailfish release.



Consistency is the mark of a master, and they don’t get better than Captain William.
So of course the one day that the camera fails is the day you catch and release a MAMMOTH Black Marlin…those are the breaks!

Katie Sullivan and her group scored this monster on December 22 with Captain William on the Wanderer.


Hopefully we will get our hands on some higher-quality shots, but for now squint you eyes and enjoy!
The half-day success stories continued with Brett Portham scoring a beautiful Pacific Sailfish on a quick 5hr. jaunt to the blue water.



Captain William has these Sailfish zeroed in and there is no escaping his masterful hunting skills!
John McLaughlin booked the Wanderer for a 5-hour Half day trip and despite the short day still managed to score a nice Pacific Sailfish.



It sure is nice to have the blue water just a few miles from shore…less time driving = more time fishing!
Team Arrich finished off their three days of fishing with more great action.


Here’s Angie’s Facebook post:
“Day #3 on the Wanderer with Captain William and Alex! Sailfish, 8 tuna and 2 Roosters! Thank you guys for an amazing 3 day adventure! You’ll be seeing us again for sure!”


Look at the size of these Yella Fellas:






Chris and Angie Arrich continued their fishin’ mission with a great second day of action with Captain William on the Wanderer.


In addition to the Sailfish score, they also added some Yellowfin Tuna to the fishbox:


Chris and Angie Arrich were the big winners of the Dodge Ram Rigged and Ready contest and they scored a squad of Sailfish releases on board the famous Wanderer.




Angie posted this to Facebook: “Our first full day here and spent it on the Wanderer yesterday with Captain William, Alex and Johnny! Thank you for an Amazing day! 3 sailfish! See you on Tuesday!”
The Wanderer continues her consistent fishing with a nice Dorado and a Sailfish release.

Unfortunately this Dorado managed to snap one of our rods, but you can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.



Nice work by this fun fishing family!
