The Wanderer kept up the excellent fishing with another set of CCA Texas folks on February 3.
Art and Christine Jones brought their friends along for a trip to the meat market; for starters there was an excellent Yellowfin Tuna bite, which was then followed up by a big tasty Dorado.
They also added a sweet Sailfish release later in the trip:
Jerome McKown’s boys from Texas continued their hot fishing with Captain Alex on February 2. The Harvester headed off-shore and found the waters thick with Sailfish.
Everyone had multiple shots at big Pacific Sailfish.
Excellent fish handling by Mate Kevin to execute all these safe releases.
Captain Alex proves once again why he is Garza’s fastest rising star!
On February 2, legendary Texas angler Jerome McKown walloped a wicked Wahoo on the flagship Wanderer.
This deck-sweeper is a true monster; each side yielded four 1-gallon bags of filets.
That wasn’t the only fish of the day…this posse of CCA TX anglers nabbed a big Dorado and a number of football-sized Yellowfin Tuna.
On February 1 Captain William pulled double duty with two half day trips from two fun groups of client.
On the morning trip Ricardo Aiste and his group nabbed a pair of Sailfish offshore before heading inside to battle Bonitas.
Then in the afternoon Edward Squieres and Curtis Ethridge brought the kids along for an educational few hours on the water.
No giant fish to report this time, but check out these big smiles…always great to see youngster learn the craft of fishing on the Wanderer.
Art Jones andย David Ardoin marked up the scorecard with a wonderful day on the Harvester that featured a nice Striped Marlin release backed up with lots of Sailfish.
After the Marlin release, the Harvester was beset by hungry aggressive Sailfish.
With such clear water these fish are all the more gorgeous…Look at the glowing blue bio-luminescence on these beauty.
Mate Kevin was on his game with ten safe Sailfish releases plus the safe Marlin release. Surely his arms are tired after a day like this!
Amazing work by Captain William and the mega panga Harvester!
Ray Smith and Jerome McKown had a big day of action with Captain Alex on January 31.
The first big catches of the day were this pair of floor-sweeping Dorados.
Then the action really heated up in the afternoon where the Sailfish were stacked up thick as cordwood.
Looks like Ray was pumped up to catch this big monster!
The day was punctuated by several double strikes.
Mate Kevin did a fantastic job handling these big Pacific Sailfish…amazing work!
Jacksonville’s own Captain Dan Parker is a legend in Garza Bay, fishing this area for more than a decade.
This FishingNosara Hall of Famer and his wife Charlene had a big day on January 31 with Captain William on the Wanderer.
After the first Sailfish release, Captain William found a pod of spinning porpoises and knew that Yellowfin Tuna were lurking underneath.
Our old pal Ryan McCulley brought the family for a 6.5 hour trip and their scorecard ran the gamut from inshore Bonita action to offshore Sailfish scores.
The Bonita were deployed inshore in an attempt to score a big monster, however the offshore bite was really where the beast was found.
Excellent work by Mate Johnny and this young angler.
Captain Carlos ended a white-hot month of fishing action with a trio of Sailfish releases on the 30th with returning client Art Jones.
Each of these monsters are world-class, and to nab three in one day is quite a feat.
Excellent fish handling by Mate Juan Carlos to keep everyone safe and smiling.
Jeff Dupree and his group started out their trip on the Harvester with a wonderful Sailfish release.
After the trophy release they continued scoring, filling up the refrigerator in with bunches of big Dorado.
This big one zig-zagged to both sides of the boat but Captain Alex kept the angles lined up and the fish off of the motor.
All told they nabbed five nice Dodos, all with good size to them.
