Check out this Snook which weighs well over 30lbs.:
Javier and the boys from Fuppernos (Friends of the River) are on point keeping the area clean.
The seasonal rains rolling through the mountains makes all the refuse roll down to the river… thankfully the Fuppernos are on the job to protect this fragile community resource.
The Explorer delivered this fat Yellowfin Tuna for our new friends Deamian Fischer and Robin Livingston.
These good-sized Yellas are starting to show up in numbers and we are pumped up for the next few months of Ahi Action!
Another day, another batch of Sailfish releases for Peter Sohlden and his posse.
These guys have been on fire all week!
These are all great looking fish, each easily over 150lbs.
They also added this tasty Yellowfin Tuna to polish of the trip.
Ruth Fricke and her group helped Captain David break in the new Discoverer with some excellent action on April 30. They started off with a pair of Bonitas which Mate Kevin used to make our special spinning strip rig.
The big Sailfish couldn’t resist the fresh meat, and the battle raged on the Discoverer with four excellent Sailfish releases.
Mate Kevin executed the safe releases with great precision as Captain David captured these amazing images.
Great work by the new crew on the new battleship!
Peter and the boys stayed inshore for their third day on the Wanderer and they pulled this excellent Cubera Snapper off the bottom:
These guys have caught all kinds of fish this week and they are only halfway home!
Elizabeth Daigh saw her Sailfish dreams come true on the famous Wanderer.
First Mate Alex wrassled this beauty alongside for a picture-perfect release.
Peter Sohlden’s boys gained momentum with more Sailfish releases to start the day on April 27. This pair of releases got things going:
With several releases under their fighting belts this group flipped over to the spinning tackle, chased a school of spinning porpoises and casted for Yellowfin Tunas.
It’s a welcome sight to see these 20lbs. football-sized Yella Fellas back in our area. They always come in the early summer, and the big Marlin are usually close behind!
We met Peter Sohlden at the Florida Sportsman Expo in Ft. Myers last year, and he signed up for five days of fishing on the mighty Wanderer.
The ice was broken on the first trip of the week with a pair of sweet Sailfish releases.
Bob Pease finished off another great week of hall-of-fame caliber fishing with Captain William and First Mate Alex on the Wanderer.
This high-flyer was a real challenge for any angler, but Bob’s billfishing skills are honed after this week of crazy action.
The action was consistent throughout the trip as the boys notched four more Sailfish releases.
Bob will be back in June and we are stoked to see what kind of fishing action will be in store from this Georgia boy!
Bob Pease finished off Day 3 with another nice Sailfish release, plus added a MASSIVE Dorado to his scorecard.
This deck sweeper is at least 60lbs., maybe more. Nice to see that Bob won’t have to eat chicken tonight; 15+ fish this week and now he finally has a filet!
In the afternoon First Mate Alex put out the billfish spread and attracted another hungry Sailfish.
Great work all around to keep the good times rollin’ on the Wanderer!
