Client Jeff Denesyk joined the Wanderer for a half day trip on March 16 and scored two trophy fish from both ends of the aquatic spectrum.
This pair of Pacific Sailfish releases was an early morning surprise. Captain William doesn’t waste any time getting to the fishing grounds!
After a safe release, the Wanderer headed inshore where Jeff scored an excellent Rooster fish:
Another live release by First Mate Alex is the icing on the cake. Great work by the flagship!
Larry Komenda and Misti Nolan and Ken Russell were back in action on the 14th and they once again threw down the gauntlet with some big mean Pacific Sailfish.
The action was hectic all morning, with four more releases added to the scorecard.
Larry Komenda and Misti Nolan and Ken and Brenda Russell hail from upstate New York and we were stoked to get them some much needed fun in the sun. Their last trip to Costa Rica was during our legendary late-August bite and saw them scored a single-day record of Marlin releases on the Explorer
This time the mighty Wanderer also treated them to multiple trophy fish releases. They started the day inshore with a hefty Rooster Fish release:
Then Captain William headed off-shore and got them out in front of a pack of hungry Sailfish.
The Sailfish were starving for bait and First Mate Alex was more than happy to feed them some fat ballyhoo with a side of 9/0 circle hooks!
Everyone on board got a release and it was all big smiles for the Russell group.
Jacksonville’s own Hank Duckworth joined the mighty Wanderer for a half day trip, and like all our Northeast Florida anglers he tore it up on the formerly Mayport-flagged vessel.
They started off inshore with this excellent Amberjack:
Then Captain William headed to Sailfish City and Hank was ready to crank in a monster:
They added two more Sailfish near the end of the five hour trip.
Safe releases by First Mate Alex was the perfect end to a great trip for Hank Duckworth.

The Wanderer posted a great all around day on March 9 with some early Sailfish action off-shore.
All quickly caught and safely returned by First Mate Alex.
Captain William brought the flagship near to shore in the afternoon where they posted great results on Rooster Fish.

The Wanderer changed things up on March 4 by staying inshore and plying the reefs just outside Garza Bay.
A nice Rooster fish release was the first fish of the day, safe released like always.
Fast on the heels of this pez gallo release was another Rooster fish, this one much bigger than the first.
The third Rooster was the biggest of them all…check out the fight in the feathered fish!
Near the end of the trip they boated this MASSIVE Amberjack.
Great inshore action on the famous Wanderer!
The Roger Bowgen group split up between the Discoverer and Wanderer on March 2 and the youth movement was on with Captain William.
The boys scored a nice streak of Sailfish releases.
Everyone in the group got a crack at these sweet Sails, and the team scored eight total releases on the day.
Roger Bowgen and his posse returned to the Wanderer for a fantastic full day trip to the blue water.
Last trip they scored a bunch of Marlin releases, and on this trip they put a whipping on a nice number of Pacific Sailfish
They scored two early releases, then got a taste of the Wanderer‘s true might with a Double Sailfish release.
The action stayed strong all day, with eight total Sailfish releases by sundown.
February 28 brought great action on the Wanderer as she scored another Double Sailfish release…that’s two in one week!
This day also included three solo Sailfish releases, making for a banner end to a great month of action.
The Wanderer finished the month with another high-flying Sailfish battle.
This monster gave the flagship everything she wanted, but the Wanderer prevailed with a safe Sailfish release.
