The Kirk Wurster group is on fire this week! They followed up their excellent pair of Rooster fish releases with this tasty keeper:
Kenny scored this whopping Cubera Snapper (estimated right around 30lbs.) and this feisty fish’s filets are full-on fridge fillers!
They also added this nice Dorado for variety:
Captain Fico on the Adventurer picked up some nice trips with folks from Captain Sergio’s group on their off days. Check out these beefy Amberjacks pried up by the pocket knife:
The Adventurer also delivered the goods in the form of this 30+lbs. Cubera Snapper:
The great fishing continues for Captain Sergio Atanes’ Costa Rica Adventure group. On June 8 the Discoverer welcomed Jack Walker, Alice Trautman, Sue Garcia and Beverly Lanier for some great inshore action.ย
A great trio of Cubera Snappers is the perfect filet haul to keep the party going on shore.
Great catches by Captain David!
The Odd Couples really got cooking on May 31. After a slow day of trolling offshore, these savvy Florida anglers chose to stay inshore where the fresh rain water helped stir up a nice array of bottom dwellers.
A pair of big Cuberra Snappers were the highlight of the trip until this beefy Rooster fish stole the spotlight:
After a safe release, the team got back to meat harvesting with a septuplet of sweet Yellowtail Snappers.
Take a look at the day’s haul:
Looks like the best fish market you’ve ever seen, courtesy of Captain William and the multi-faceted Wanderer.
We welcomed a big fun group of folks from our hometown of Jacksonville, FL and they scored some great inshore lunkers aboard the Wanderer.
Henry Starling, Rick Tullis, Richard Hosey, and Mike Glenn brought their families along for this inshore conquest and it is safe to say that all mouths were fed by these excellent Cubera Snappers.
They also added a pair of trophy releases in the form of these excellent Rooster Fish:
Great work by this posse of North Florida anglers!
Our new pal Tracy Anderson just finished up three back-to-back days of inshore action with a wide variety of tasty filets on ice.
The Adventurer hasn’t skipped a beat with Captain Fico at the helm, as proved by this nice Cubera Snapper.
Tracy followed up with a few smaller Snappers:
Plus a Yellowfin Tuna and a Yellowtail Snapper…that’s a grand a haul!
Incredibly rare catch on the Adventurer today…a swarm of ultra-tasty Queen Snappers have come into the area during the last week and the 23-footer has been all over them.
Usually this time of year we see lots of Red Grouper and Congrio, however this season the Queen Snapper (right) has been a lovely change of pace. Great bottom fishing action from the Adventurer!
Blair Wickstrom stayed on the bite on his third day of fishing, scoring this excellent Cubera Snapper aboard the Explorer with Captain Carlos.
Whew! It’s a workout to catch this monster but at least you get 40+ of meat to replenish you strength. Great catch by the Super panga.
Now there is no way to top a quadruple Marlin day, so the dynamic duo of Chris Escabedo and Will Havens decided to focus on the refrigerator on their May 10 trip.
The highlight of their haul with this fat 20lbs. Cubera Snapper, plus they backed it up with a handful of small Jacks and small Tuna.
The Discoverer beats the heat with a icebox full of meat!
Michael Williams enlisted the plucky Adventurer for an inshore harvest and was rewarded with a wide variety of table fare.
This well-rounded haul included Dorado, Cubera Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, and the ultra-elusive Queen Snapper.
When you invest a full-day into Extreme Panga fishing, this is the kind of production you can expect. Great work by Mate Fico in keeping the pedal to the metal all day long!
