The other half of Adam LeMaster’s group was on the Discoverer on the 11th, and angler Roger Salinas managed to one-up the flagship with this feisty Blue Marlin release.
Excellent work by Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin to round up this monster…they also add a Sailfish release later in the trip:
Like the other group, they stocked up on Dorado filets.
However they upped the ante with multiple awesome Yellowfin Tunas on ice.
Great job by the big battleship!
The Discoverer delivered the goods for angler Dean Givens and his crew on January 10. They ran the gamut of species, highlighted by this awesome Blue Marlin release.
That big monster was followed up by a nice Sailfish release.
The group also stocked up the refrigerator. This big Yellowfin Tuna was complimented by several nice Dorados.
Amazing all-around action on the big battleship!
The Explorer welcomed Kati McCarter on January 6 and this group blistered the fish.
This swole Sailfish was the highlight of the trip that also included this beefy Yellowfin Tuna.
Big Dorados dominated the rest of the trip. Some of these beasties were well over 40lbs.
Great work by Captain Fico and the Explorer!
Drew Seesel and the Explorer enjoyed a great day on the water with a bunch of nice Dorados and a tasty Yellowfin Tuna.
The highlight of the day was a nice Sailfish release.
Great work by the barroom brawler Explorer.
Eric Olsen and his fun-loving group has a big day of results on December 29.
After a nice Dorado got the action rolling, these big Sailfish put the flagship to the test.
In the afternoon, Captain William stalked a school of porpoise and stole a nice Yellowfin Tuna from right under the pod.
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.
Julie Radley’s family returned to the Wanderer on the 27th for more fun fishing action.
A big Dorado broke the ice and was followed up by this nice Yellowfin Tuna.
In the afternoon, the Sailfish swarmed in and started attacking the Wanderer‘s spread.
Multiple Sailfish were released by Mate Johnny.
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.
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.
