Captain David fished every day from December 20 to the 28th, and scored a wide variety of great fish for his clients.

 

Yellowfin Tunas were in the mix, even though we aren’t anywhere close to their peak season. Its a great sign to see these football-sized Yella Fellas this close to shore, and this early in the year.

An array of Jack Crevelles and Rock Snappers made sure that ceviche would be on the Christmas dinner table.

Big Dorados have been in the area all month and while most boats found them 10 miles offshore, the crafty Adventurer nabbed several monsters that wandered too close to shore.

What a great start to the season for Captain David and the 23-foot switchblade.

Captain Alex welcomed Debra Hoffkins and here group for back-to-back fishing days on the 26th and 27th.

Dorado and Yellowfin Tuna scored broke the ice early.

A high-powered Sailfish ushered in the afternoon session; safe released as always by Mate Wilson.

The fish kept getting bigger as the day wore on, with more Dorados and Yellowfin Tunas finding their way to the deck.

After the big day of offshore variety, Team Hoffkins stayed inshore on teh 27th and bested this wonderful Rooster fish release.

This trophy fish was also safe released.

Great all-around trip by these Orange Park, FL-based anglers.

Laura Blair and her family scored five super Sailfish releases with Captain Carlos on the 27th.

“We had an awesome time…Fishing was the highlight – Captain Carlos and Kevin were an excellent team and provided top tier service as we landed a tuna and 5 sailfish. ย We had some great tuna sashimi and seared tuna steaks provided by the fish my daughter caught within the first 10 minutes of putting the lines out!”

Thanks again,
Laura Blair

The Wanderer pulled double-duty on the 26th. The morning session featured Thomas Burton’s family and lots of Yellowfin Tuna scores.

In the afternoon, Alex Kreigsman and his boys scored a pile of Dorados and added a Yella Fella of their own.

Excellent work by the mighty flagship and the Master Captain William.

Captain Carlos on the big battleship Discoverer knocked it out of the park on the 26th with angler Ted Markow and his family. This mystery billfish led off the action:

Juvenile Striped Marlin or Spearfish? we aren’t sure but it was a fun fish to fight. They also nabbed several Sailfish releases. This was young Piper’s first Sailfish:

For the dinner table the kids grabbed a nice Dorado and a fine Yellowfin Tuna.

Great job by this fun fishing family.
