Corey Gammill is the latest Connecticut angler to try his hand on our blue water, and Captain Carlos and the fearless Adventurer showed him a great time. Check out this beefcake Dorado they put on ice.
This was the highlight of Corey’s five hour trip which also included some small Snappers and Bonitas.
The Adventurer welcomed Sue Battis and her group today and got a nice bit of good-eatin’ fish.
This big Dorado is the scale-tipper of the day, but the smaller Wahoo caught later in the trip is probably the best tasting; when they are in the 10-30lbs. range is when silver bullets yield the best meat.
Nice job by Captain Carlos and the 23-foot switchblade.
Carter Peobody signed up the Wanderer for a quick 2.5 hour trip to the reefs and he had a singular focus in mind: Rooster fish.
Fishin’ accomplished! Great work by the master hunter Captain William to stalk this beauty and by First Mate Alex on the safe handling and release.
John Hicks and his posse had a huge day on the Wanderer with big catches of Dorado and Yellowfin Tuna punctuated by a swarm of Sailfish releases.
First Mate Alex stocked the baitwell with live mullet and Captain William set course for Sailfish City.
In total this group tallied four big Sailfish releases.
A welcome suprise to our fishery recently are the ever-growing Yellowfin Tuna. Usually the Yella Fellas are scarce until March, but this year they are early.
Excellent day of multi-species action for the John Hicks group.
The blue water has moved extremely close to shore this week to the delight of our holiday anglers. Check out these blue water specimens caught less than 5 miles from shore:
This is why fishing in our area is the best bang-for-your-buck fishing in the world…most boats have a 40+ mile trip to find these monsters, while here in Garza they are in the front yard.
The Cooper Family had a fantastic fishing day on the Explorer with Captain David and Mate Kevin.
Mr. Cooper kicked off the action with a nice Dorado catch.
Thing really heated up in the afternoon as the Explorer was beset by wave after wave of Sailfish strikes.
Sarah Cooper scored this mammoth release, but right on the heels of this fish swimming away Jessica nabbed one of her own. These were the first Sailfish for each of these ladies, but they bested the beasts with the precision of old pros.
Mate Kevin saw to the safe releases as Captain David stayed one step ahead of these rocket ships. Great day of action on the super panga!
Jeff Allen already bested the offshore monsters on December 24, so for his follow-up trip the Wanderer stayed inshore to hunt another bucket-list fish…the sneaky Rooster Fish!
Just as with the Sailfish and Dorado, these great fish came in pairs.
Excellent hunting by the Master Captain William and nice fish-handling by First Mate Alex to ensure the safe live release of these beauties.
Jon Salem and his group took the blue water by storm on December 26 with lots of great near-shore blue water action.
Early in the afternoon the kids roped in some big Dorados.
A pair of high-flying Sailfish would come calling late in the day, and the Wanderer showed her stuff with two nice releases.
Great work by this group of Tampa, FL-based angler and the mighty flagship.
Hendrik Engel spent Christmas day on the Explorer with Captain David and Mate Kevin. The Super Panga delivered some gifts for this family…two Sailfish a-leaping!
We expect to see Hendrik later this season for a return visit to Sailfish City.
Great work by the barroom brawler
Jeff Allen and his buddy started the first of their two days on fishing on the Wanderer with a BANG! When you get on board and First Mate Alex has the lures lined up like rifle shells you know that something big is bound to happen.
Double Sailfish release less than an hour into the trip!
After the safe releases these boys would go on to put a pair of Dorados on ice for the dinner table.
Excellent trip by the boat that always comes out swinging!
