Captain William delivered the goods for Julie Radley’s family on the 23rd, highlighted by this stunning Blue Marlin release early in the day.
After the wonderful release by Mate Johnny, Captain William kept trolling and nabbed several nice Dorados.
Great work by the mighty flagship Wanderer!
Matty was on board the mighty Wanderer on December 18 and battled a MASSIVE Black Marlin for two hours.
This monster hit around 3:00pm and fought until sunset, when after several leader grabs finally broke the hook right next to the boat.
We see around five of these size Marlin per year, and is clearly the biggest fish Matty ever caught.
The flagship didn’t go home empty handed, thanks to this nice Dorado from early in the day.
All smiles on the way back in.
Great work by Captain William and the mighty Wanderer.
It was a true pleasure to welcome our old pal Captain Don Dingman for a quick romp on the Wanderer. Captain Don is the beloved TV personality behind Hook the Future TV and is the driving force in getting young anglers into fishing.
Captain William followed the porpoises and snuck in to steal their lunch.
Don nabbed this nice Yellowfin Tuna on the Wanderer.
Then Rebecca stepped up to battle a tasty Dorado.
They were in town celebrating their anniversary; remember that they fished with us on their honeymoon, and Rebecca dressed up for the occasion.
Still one of our favorite pics.
Great work by Captain Don and Rebecca!
The flagship went out with Dan Johnson again on the 3rd, and this time they began by adding to the Dorado haul.
Then Dan belted up for a spirited Sailfish battle.
Late in the day the Wanderer scored a beefy Yellowfin Tuna to add variety to the dinner table.
Our great friend and FishingNosara Hall of Famer Dan Johnson returned to the Wanderer on December 1.
The straw hat-wearing fishing legend had a fun day on December 1 with lots of Dorados on deck. He also brought his friends along to enjoy in the action.
The Wanderer broke in her new motors with Nosara Paradise Rentals grounds crew members Grevan Hernandez and Dieter for a quick trip to the fish market.
Great work by our mechanic Oldemar on the new motor installation.
Later that week the flagship welcomed angler Dan Bofinger for a full day of action on the 27th.
After a few nice Dorado scores to start the day, they finished up with a nice run of Sailfish releases.
Great work by Captain William and the mighty Wanderer!
Captain William continues to dominate on the mighty Wanderer, evidenced by this excellent Blue Marlin release:
On the same trip they also bested this high-flying Sailfish.
Great work by Captain William and Mate Johnny on these billfish battles.
The Wanderer had to miss a few days in late November, but it was for a fine reason:
Christmas came early for the mighty flagship!
These new twin Yamaha F150s will ensure reliable horsepower for the season to come.
The Wanderer got in on the swarms of Dorados on November 9 with anglers Mark Scott, Diane Turner, Andrew Lipps, and Eli Bedran stocking up on Mahi-Mahi filets.
These monsters are a welcome surprise for this early in the season, and makes us very optimistic moving forward.
They closed the trip on a high note, with this excellent Blue Marlin release.
Great work by these fun-loving Florida anglers.
Jacksonville firefighter Brian Stafford brought a big group of fun-loving North Florida anglers for a great week of action in late October.
Big Dorados and big smiles were the order of the day.
Great start to the season for the mighty flagship Wanderer!
