She scored the usual allotment of Cubera Snappers and Rock Snappers.
Then they added this tasty delicacy: the elusive Congrio:
The highlight of the month was this nice Sailfish caught just five miles from shore.
When the big fish wander too close the shore, the Adventurer will be waiting for them.
Great work on the catch and the safe release from the 23-foot pocket knife Adventurer.

Ken was next up on the reel and scored this sweet Sailfish release.
The ladies were up next and got acquainted with some real high-flyers.

After a trip to the fish market, Laura and Mike headed offshore to find Sailfish City. Captain William led the way and the Wanderer proceeded to score big.
After the first two releases Mike Neeland added to his swollen Sailfish scorecard, and then Laura followed up with a nice fish of her own.
The big hit of the day with this small Striped Marlin; while not the biggest fish we’ve ever seen, this little Stripey still fought like a tiger.
