Pedro’s Posse scored big today with Sherry catching her first ever Sailfish.
Another lady who proves that Northeast Florida is home to some of the fiercest anglers on the planet.
Great send-off for Pedro’s Posse on the mighty Wanderer!

The Wanderer welcomed a great Jacksonville couple named Pedro and Sherry Ramirez along with their friends and they had a very productive day inshore.
They caught a whole rainbow of reef running goodness, then topped of the day with this MONSTER Rooster Fish release:
They are heading offshore for billfish tomorrow, so let’s keep fingers crossed.

Kirk and Jan Wurster finished their fishing adventure on July 4 with a trip offshore; after besting Roosters and Snappers inshore the logical choice was to see what was biting in the blue water 10 miles out.
The early bite brought in this nice Dorado:
Later in the afternoon the line screamed off and Kirk belted up to battle a big Sailfish!
Excellent boat handling by Captain William kept the fight short and sweet while First Mate Alex ensured a safe release.

The Kirk Wurster group is on fire this week! They followed up their excellent pair of Rooster fish releases with this tasty keeper:
Kenny scored this whopping Cubera Snapper (estimated right around 30lbs.) and this feisty fish’s filets are full-on fridge fillers!
They also added this nice Dorado for variety:

Jacksonville’s own Kirk Wurster broke the ice on a full week of fishing with this bucket-list caliber Rooster fish:
This was the first of two mighty Pez Gallos scored by the flagship.
The mighty Wanderer proves again that she is fit for all forms of fish warfare with this excellent inshore catch. As usual this fish was released after the photograph. Great work Kirk!

The First Family of FishingNosara hit the water on July 1 for an excellent day of action with Captain William and First Mate Alex. Daniel Shields and his sister Brooke Shields are the children of FishingNosara’s only Lifetime Hall of Famer, the venerable Richmond Phipps, and they were joined by their cousin Tim Anderson and Dan’s wife Maria Yetty on the flagship Wanderer.
The highlight of the day’s action was this excellent Rooster fish releases, estimated by First Mate Alex to weigh 50lbs. A little rain didn’t stop these tough anglers
Excellent catch by our great friends!

With all this billfish releasing going on, the Good Doctors almost forgot to get something to eat! Fortunately they snagged this big Dorado:
This is sure to feed these big eaters for the duration of their trip…excellent hunting by the famous Wanderer.

Earth-Shattering moment on the Wanderer today as the Good Doctors pulled off a simultaneous Double Marlin Release! We have pulled off several Double Sailfish releases in the past and a few memorable Marlin/Sailfish doubles, but this marked the first true Double Marlin release of the season so far.
To describe the moment of the strike as ‘chaotic’ is an understatement; the skill of Captain William to keep these high-flying monsters from getting tangled only trumps First Mate Alex’ fish-handling skills.
Wrangling 1000+lbs. of angry billfish at once is no small feat, but we have always said that the Wanderer is known for defying expectations.
Amazing work by the flagship!

Two-time FishingNosara Hall of Famers Rick Blackburn and Chuck Harris have returned to Nosara for a frenzied week of fishing
They got off to a great start with the Wanderer on June 16 with a fantastic pair of Sailfish releases.
Though Rick and Chuck have bested many billfish with us, this is the first releases for these new members of their group. Let’s hope this is the first of many for these guys.
Two great catches by the Good Doctors backed up by two safe releases by the Wanderer‘s fearless crew!

Wayne Hopkins snagged a legendary Blue Marlin release on June 12 with the mighty Wanderer.
Wayne has fished out of Garza for years, first appearing in our fishing report in 2010 with a nice Sailfish release.
Clearly this massive Marlin is a new high-water mark for Mr. Hopkins. Great work by Captain William and First Mate Alex on this wonderful release!
