The team endured a Marlin drought in mid April, but the keen-eyed Captain Carlos broke the streak on April 29 as the Discoverer nagged this awesome Blue Marlin release with anglers Dan and Natalia Kenel, Paul and Dee Wirsing and Mike and Gayle Fuchs.

They also nagged this sweet Sailfish release:

“Just wanted to send a note letting you know we had a wonderful time fishing on the Discoverer with Captain Carlos and Kevin.”

“In three days we caught one sailfish, one Marlin, and a tuna. Lost the other Marlin at the boat … but it was still a great day!”

“You all did a great job and we had a great time!”

Wesley Berry’s group put in big work on a short trip with Captain Fico reporting good action on a morning 5 hour trip.

After the Sailfish release, they belted up for a nice fight against a big Yellowfin Tuna.

Great work by the barroom brawler Explorer.

Captain Alex finished the month of April on a hot streak. Check out these awesome Sailfish releases from the mega panga Harvester.

As the summer season begins we expect that the billfish will be extra energized, now that their bait diet consists of BIG Yellowfin Tunas.

The Adventurer continued to score in late April with a nice array of Yellowfin Tunas.

On the 26th Captain David scored a nice Sailfish release.

Big Yellowfin Tuna were on the prowl late April and they put the Wanderer (and her tackle) to the test.

This rod-bending Yellowfin Tuna is definitely a memorable catch.

Elbert Bivins and his family had a fun day on the 25th, boating both Dorados and Yellowfin Tunas for the dinner table.

It’s always fun to see young anglers get a crack at blue water sportfishing.

Jason Stote tipped the scales on the 24th with potentially the biggest Yellowfin Tuna of the season.

This monster was followed up by several other big Yella Fellas, which on many other days would be the big fish in the box.

Later on the hooked up a nice Sailfish for a fun battle.

Check out the Wanderer keeping an eye on the fight in the background.

Both of these sweet billfish were safely released as always.

The Discoverer kept up her hot streak with an excellent round of catches on the 24th. The highlight is clearly this BIG Yellowfin Tuna:

Sailfish also cruised into the spread and ended up safe released as always after a vigorous duel.

The Harvester continued championship-level fishing on the 23rd with Angie Taylor’s group scoring early and often.

A great Sailfish was backed up by several excellent Yellowfin Tunas.

The big fish of the day was an awesome Dorado.
