Thomas and Ruth Martin kept the Wanderer‘s hot streak running on March 21 with a morning full of Rooster Fish releases and the afternoon swarmed with Sailfish.

 

Captain William got to Sailfish City right on time for the 1pm bite and these high-flying pelagics gave Thomas and the boys all they wanted!

 

Safe released like always by First Mate Alex.

The Wanderer has been filling the trophy case with releases all week, but the filets have been a little scarce. Fortunately, client David Rybas elected to stay inshore on March 20 and his group laid the smack down on a bunch of big Cubera Snappers.

This first one is enough to feed Garza for the day, but the next two that came in could feed all of Guanacaste!

Amazing haul by the mighty Wanderer.

Ken and Brenda Russell’s group posted another stellar day of action on March 18, highlighted by this incredible Marlin release by angler Misti Nolan.

They also snagged a Sailfish release and a nice Dorado while they were offshore.

Excellent Dorado score by Larry Komenda:

Captain William didn’t rest on his laurels on this 8 hour trip, as he made it back inshore in time to squeeze another magnificent fish into the day.

Great Rooster fish…certainly looks like it still has some fight in it!

Client Jeff Denesyk joined the Wanderer for a half day trip on March 16 and scored two trophy fish from both ends of the aquatic spectrum.

This pair of Pacific Sailfish releases was an early morning surprise. Captain William doesn’t waste any time getting to the fishing grounds!

After a safe release, the Wanderer headed inshore where Jeff scored an excellent Rooster fish:

Another live release by First Mate Alex is the icing on the cake. Great work by the flagship!

Larry Komenda and Misti Nolan and Ken and Brenda Russell hail from upstate New York and we were stoked to get them some much needed fun in the sun. Their last trip to Costa Rica was during our legendary late-August bite and saw them scored a single-day record of Marlin releases on the Explorer

This time the mighty Wanderer also treated them to multiple trophy fish releases. They started the day inshore with a hefty Rooster Fish release:

Then Captain William headed off-shore and got them out in front of a pack of hungry Sailfish.

The Sailfish were starving for bait and First Mate Alex was more than happy to feed them some fat ballyhoo with a side of 9/0 circle hooks!

Everyone on board got a release and it was all big smiles for the Russell group.

Jacksonville’s own Hank Duckworth joined the mighty Wanderer for a half day trip, and like all our Northeast Florida anglers he tore it up on the formerly Mayport-flagged vessel.

They started off inshore with this excellent Amberjack:

Then Captain William headed to Sailfish City and Hank was ready to crank in a monster:

They added two more Sailfish near the end of the five hour trip.

Safe releases by First Mate Alex was the perfect end to a great trip for Hank Duckworth.
