Teresa Schilhab scored big Sailfish earlier in the week, and this week filled the filet bags with big Yellowfin Tunas.






Four total fish ranging from 30lbs. to 80lbs. Great work by the flagship!
Teresa Schilhab and her group got off to a fast start on the Wanderer with several sweet Sailfish releases.


Nice hunting by Captain William and great releases from First Mate Alex.



All boats were deployed on July 7, but as always the Wanderer led the way with several sweet Sailfish releases and lots of Yellowfin Tuna filets for a great family of fishermen.



It’s always a treat to see youngsters get their fishing games started, but with these kind of big pelagics I hope they don’t get spoiled!


The grown-ups got in on the action as well:


The Yellowfin Tuna have established a beachhead a few miles offshore and it will take our Navy a few months to break through their lines.


Until then it’s gonna be big smiles and full fishboxes!

Returning FishingNosara Hall of Famer Morgan Trible celebrated July 4th in style with a tasty Yellowfin on ice:

Sushi anyone?
Our good friend Taylor Lukof joined the Wanderer for a little blue water battling.

The bite was a little slow, but the flagship still managed to score this sweet Sailfish release.

The mighty Wanderer delivered the goods for Gary Pickel and his family with a MASSIVE Black Marlin release:




This beast hit the hook just after 9am and put up a 30 minute fight leading to a safe release.


After the safe release by First Mate Alex, they scored a nice pair of Sailfish:




Then they backed up the monster billfish with a slew of big Yellowfin Tunas…Captain William knows that you follow the birds and the porpoises to the land of giant Yella Fellas:













Great fish-hunting by Master Captain William and the flagship Wanderer.

The Wanderer stayed inshore with Shirley Smith’s group and delivered beautiful Rooster Fish action.


These beasts put a lot of strain on our Penn Slammers, but the gold reels held up to the fight.



The flagship had a brief 2.5 hour trip on the morning of June 14, but it was long enough for this little dude to bring home the bacon.

“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.
Mike Burling’s boys scored the biggest Dorado of the month on a wonderful June 11 trip with Captain William on the Wanderer.



This monster will definately keep the crew fed!


They also hooked up a nice Sailfish to round out the day.
