Chuck Harris and his Mob had a big day on June 11, with a Double Sailfish releases leading off the day’s catches.
Nice fish handling by Mate Kevin to ensure the safety of both the fishes and the anglers.
The Sailfish strikes stayed strong all day, and Chuck’s Offshore Mafia had the skills to bring them in quickly.
The final release came from our old buddy Rick Blackburn, and was the seventh release of the day.
The Tallahassee Offshore Mafia hit town on the 10th with capo Don Chuck Harris leading the charge on the Harvester.
This large group booked up all of our boats this week and cut a wide swath through the blue water species.
After a few nice Sailfish releases, they rounded out the day with some tasty plate-sized Yellowfin Tunas.
Great way to start the week for these hard-fishin’ Floridians.
Theย Harvester scored a nice Sailfish release with young angler Joseph Guzaldo on June 9:
That’s a heck of a fish for such a young angler!
Captain Carlos scored a nice trio of Sailfish releases on the battleship Discoverer with the Tagliabue group on June 9.
Great fish handling by Mate Juan Carlos means these fish were safely released as always.
The Explorer started the month of June with a fantastic run of great catches. The Sailfish were thick offshore and the Super Panga was all over them.
Later in the week Captain Fico stayed inshore and filled the fish box with tasty filets of Dorado and Cubera Snapper.
While inshore, the legendary Explorer also scored several bucket-list caliber Rooster Fish releases.
Great work by the 26-foot barroom brawler!
The Wanderer welcomed the Tagliabue group on June 6 and scored this beautiful Sailfish
Great work by Captain William to deliver this world-class release for these fun-loving Texans…looks like it took it out of them:
Eric Dixon continues his habit of catching big billfish on spinning tackle. This time he scored twice in one week on the Harvester.
Look at the workout the Dixon boys are giving to our new Shimano Stella spinners; we weren’t sure how these would hold up to such a fight, but it turns out these are just as tough as our Tiagra conventional reels.
Later in the week Eric struck again, this time with the old reliable Penn Slammer.
Great work by this father and son duo of Colorado anglers!
The super panga Explorer started the month of June on an absolute tear with big numbers of Sailfish releases.
When the Sails are piled up this thick, the challenge isn’t to catch them; it’s releasing them quickly so we can catch some more!
After a few solo releases to get started, Captain Fico and Mate Elias pulled off this sweet Double Sailfish release!
The hits kept coming the next day with several more releases on the scorecard.
The action stayed strong throughout the week, highlighted by this second Double release:
The Explorer is more than just an offshore troller, proven by these excellent Rooster fish scores near-to-shore.
The Wanderer welcomed Tom Kerl and his group for a nice day offshore, highlighted by this sweet Sailfish release:
Great work by the incomparable Captain William!
The Harvester welcomed a super-fun group of Texas anglers for the first of three big days of blue water action on June 4.
Tracey Melnar, Jennifer Felchak-Tagliabue, Donna Trubee, Norman Trubee, and Dave Tagliabue stayed inshore on their first day and scored a beautiful Cubera Snapper.
Safe to say they got dinner filets on ice for the week!
Then they added this wonderful Rooster Fish release later in the day.
Great start to a big week of fishing!
