Richard Melito and his Virginia-based posse of anglers booked the flagship Wanderer for a full day blue water fishing trip and their investment of time paid off huge dividends.

These are some of the bigger Sailfish we’ve had so far this season, with the big one (above) estimated well over 140lbs.

They had three wonderful Sailfish releases, plus added a tasty Dorado for the dinner table.

Amazing results from the big blue beauty and her crew, the unstoppable Master Captain William and the wondermate First Mate Alex.

Adrian Archuleta is back for more, and this time he brought a posse! Last year he fished with us on the Explorer but with a larger group came the step up to the flagship Wanderer.

The Sailfish have been on fire recently and this trip was a perfect example. Five total releases, including the very challenging Double Sailfish release.

 

 

Great work by the anglers and by Captain William to prevent a line-cross tangle. Next up the ladies put on a show for the fellas with some Sailfish releases of their own.

 

All fish were released safely as usual by the incomparable First Mate Alex.

Craig-

Had a great time!ย  What an amazing business you have going down there! Kudos to the great staff and can’t wait to return!ย 

Pura Vida

Great results on a sunset cruise from angler Miriam McDonald’s group. They started off with a few small Dorados, including this one that got chewed up on the way into the boat by a larger mystery fish.

That mystery was solved an hour later when this MASSIVE Cubera Snapper hit a vertical jig. These monsters fight hard but this group of anglers was up to the challenge.

Nice filets in store for this group after another fantastic sunset cruise for the Wanderer.

Our old pal Henry Doggrell joined client Richard Belgaske for an afternoon half day on the Wanderer and scored big. For a warm up Henry boated this White Tuna, which is eerily similar to his day with us back in 2011:

The left the reminiscing for later because 1pm means one thing in these waters: Sailfish Time!

This beauty fought Henry for about 20 minutes before being safely de-hooked and released. Great fishing from one of our favorite clients.

Karen and Sam did big work on the Pacific Sailfish on the 3rd, so for this trip they switched it up and target Dorado. Take a peek at some of these big bulls they found less than 10 miles from shore.

These Dorados are much larger than the ones we have seen so far this season which is a good sign not just for this species but all the other fish that depend on them (Sailfish and Marlin).

Lucy Edgerton booked a trip for her dad and together they bested a pair of beautiful Pacific Sailfish. First up was this beastie estimated to weigh 95lbs.

Then it was Lucy’s turn on the reel and she kept up her end of the bargain by battling another nice fish. This monster was wore out after a vigorous 15 minute fight.

Great fish handling by First Mate Alex and boat maneuvering by Captain William to ensure a safe and fun experience for all involved, fish included.

Sam and Karen Guthrie capitalized on the swarms of Sailfish that have been blowing through our area like locusts. The mighty Wanderer put these clients in front of several super Sailfish.

After Sam fought and released the first one, it was Karen’s turn on the reel.

Wouldn’t you know that a second sail took the bait and set the table for another legendary Double Sailfish release.

Great work by Captain William putting them on the fish and First Mate Alex on the safe releases!
