Captain Fico took angler Jeff Tomcsik offshore on July 30 and found the Sailfish laying in wait.
This aggressive high-flyer provided great fishing memories, while these Yellowfin Tuna weighed down the dinner table.
The next day they scored a true fish of a lifetime with this excellent Blue Marlin release.
They finished the day inshore and scored another awesome trophy fish releases with this Rooster Fish.
Our old friend Elizabeth Popp brought her boys along for a fun day of inshore action with Captain David.
The Adventurer delivered the good with this excellent Cubera Snapper backed up by a nice Dorado.
Looks like these growing boys will have plenty to eat this week!
When we say that the fish are fired-up in late July, this is what we mean:
Alan Brewer and his group were the beneficiaries of these fired up billfish, the leader of which was this beautiful Blue Marlin.
After that amazing catch, Team Brewer belted up for an awesome Double Sailfish battle.
Great work by Captain Alex and Mate Kevin to keep these two monsters from getting tangled and ensuring a safe release for both fish.
John Johnson and Anita Walker joined the Discoverer on the 26th for a morning half day, and despite the short duration they still managed a pair of Sailfish releases.
Who knows how many big fish they left out there because of the short trip.
The Explorer rounded out the month of July with a nice run of Sailfish releases on July 26. Take a look at these powerful pelagics:
On July 25th the Harvester and angler Carlyle Smith found themselves neck-deep in some BIG Sailfish.
This is the time of year when the Sailfish are at their largest, with some of these easily over 150lbs.
A mid-day Dorado took care of dinner.
More nice Sailfish releases rounded out the day.
Great work by the mega panga!
Captain Fico on the Explorer delivered another great trip to Mr. and Mrs. Juan Levesque on July 25. Big Sailfish releases provided the excitement on this trip.
However these Florida anglers melted some ice, thanks to this big Yellowfin Tuna.
Great work by the barroom brawler!
Kathleen Clarke came to us as a novice angler, but after her trip on the Discoverer she has cut her teeth as a big-time blue water angler.
These Sailfish put on a great show and the releases were quick and easy.
She wrote us a very nice email:
“Just wanted to let you know that we had an incredibly amazing time on our fishing trip. I don’t think that it could have been any better. Captain Carlos and Kevin were stellar – I would highly recommend that crew to anyone. ”
“All 5 in our party caught fish and we were not expecting to. Kevin kept the boat very clean and tidy and made sure that we all had everything that we needed. Lunch was excellent also, as was the fruit. We caught a mix of mahi-mahi and sailfish. We saw porpoises and turtles too.”
“Thanks so much!!!”
Captain Alex kept the good times rolling on July 24 with angler Alan Brewer’s group collecting a bunch of Sailfish releases.
Looks like everyone on board got a chance to battle a big billfish.
Even Captain Alex got in on the billfish releases while Mate Wilson tried to get feeling back in his arms.
Great day by the mega panga Harvester!
The Explorer posted a big day with Juan Levesque on July 24, highlighted by a swarm of sweet Sailfish releases.
Mate Elias had his hands full to safely release these monsters.
Later on they teamed up to reel in this monster Yellowfin Tuna.
Great work by the barroom brawler Explorer!
