Mr. and Mrs. Brian Larsen spanked some Sailfish today on the Wanderer. The flagship has been cooking lately, but this TEN Sailfish release performance is truly world-class.

The action started quick with a pair of ‘his and hers’ Sailfish releases within the first hour of fishing. A third high-flyer was waiting in line right behind them.

The peak of the day’s bite was this Double Sailfish release. Check out this great sequence of the action captured by Captain William:

Clean safe release as always by First Mate Alex!

The action did not relent for these New Jersey anglers as the day would see several more Sailfish releases, including this high flyer.

Mrs. Larsen added another pair of releases to the scorecard late in the 8 hour trip.

I don’t care who you are, a day like this is a real workout. Fortunately the Larsens were pumped up!

Great work by these fine anglers and by the crew of the mighty Wanderer.

Tom and Tammy Clymer had a boatload of fun fishing inshore with Captain William on the Wanderer. Our tactic is to stir up a feeding frenzy on one of our inshore reefs, hoping to coax one of the big bottom dwellers out from his hiding spot in the ocean floor.

The trick to this kind of fishing is perseverance and patience; the fish of a lifetime won’t be the first one on the hook, but if you invest the time over a good spot then the monster will come calling. Tammy got the action fired up with this nice Jack Crevelle.

Then young Misses Clymer added another Jack Crevelle:

This activity combined with a few Bonitas getting recycled into the water by First Mate Alex’ knife, this area was bound to yield something big.

Something hit Tom Clymer’s line like a wrecking ball and bent the rod over like a bullwhip.

What was this tiny water disturbance hiding?

BOOM!

Great work by the Clymer family in executing this bottom fishing attack strategy with the unstoppable Captain William.

David Rybas and his boys had a great morning half day trip on the Wanderer punctuated by some excellent Sailfish action.

The whole family was locked on this flying Sailfish, but young Mr. Rybas had the moves to bring this big Sailfish alongside.

Great release as always and another picture-perfect day on the Wanderer.

Jon Athan and his friends had a lovely 2.5 hour sunset cruise on the Wanderer on March 11.

In addition to the lovely scenery, they also scored a nice-sized Yellowtail Snapper. Pound-for-pound this is some of the best tasting fish in our area…great work by these young anglers.

On March 10 Drew Honeycutt and his crew followed up their great Sailfish action with a bit of inshore fishing to start their day on the Wanderer. They scored a real nice fish in the form of this 25lbs. Rooster fish.

Once this pez gallo was swimming free, Captain William took the boys back out to Sailfish City for another run at some high-flying action.

They released a pair of Sailfish, but they’ll never let go of these great trophy fish memories.

Awesome work by the mighty flagship!

The Wanderer was the classroom for a great bunch of kids getting their first lesson in the blue water marine ecosystem.

Captain William took this family for an up-close look at the inbound Sea Turtle migration to Ostinal.

Later in the evening this little dude scored a nice White Tuna.

Nice way to end the day for the hard-working flagship the Wanderer.

Great morning action for the flagship Wanderer! Check out this Double Sailfish release pulled off by the mighty flagship.

The added a solo Sailfish release later in the morning.

That’s a heckuva performance on just a 5hr. trip, but these kind of results have become the norm for the fantastic crew of the Wanderer.

Drew Honeycutt and his group hail from the Tar Heel State and discovered Nosara via the North Carolina Coastal Conservation Association.

They KO’d some nice Sailfish yesterday on the Wanderer, but didn’t score any tasty eatin’ fish.

Problem solved! What a nice Dorado…an authentic deck-scraper!

With the filets on ice, the boys got back to scoring Sailfish with three excellent releases.

Great work by the mighty Wanderer and these fine Carolina anglers.

Charles Stephens and his buddy put a whipping on some nice Sailfish today on the Wanderer.

The billfish action has been off-the-charts this month and these fishing buddy reaped the rewards.

Excellent fish-finding by Captain William and clean safe fish handling by First Mate Alex.

Drew Honeycutt and his boys started their week of fishing with a bang on board the flagship Wanderer with everybody getting their hands on Pacific Sailfish.
