The Adventurer welcomed David Kronk and his friend for a 6.5 hour trip to the blue water, and their haul was highlighted by the biggest Wahoo of the year so far:
These Michigan-based anglers weren’t done stacking the fishbox as they tossed in a few football-sized Yella Fellas for good measure.
Great day on the water by Captain Carlos and the 23-foot switchblade.
Melanie Law and her boys enjoyed a relaxing sunset cruise on the Adventurer, plus they went home with an array of rare tuna filets.
Check out the Rainbow Tuna (left) and the White Tuna that these fellas roped in. Great work by Captain Carlos and these young anglers!
Jenny Hernandez’ group hit the water on the Adventurer and scored big on two lovely-tasting fish. First up with this 35lbs. Dorado, a real treat this close the shore.
Then they followed up with a jaw-dropping Yellowtail. Look at the beauitful markings on this tasty morsel.
Great job by the fish catching machine Captain Carlos!
Hall of Famer Dennis Paul and Barbara Dayhoff have made life absolutely miserable for the billfish population this week, and on their second-to-last trip of their vacation they laid a beating on another quartet of Sailfish.
Barbara kicked off the action with this sweet release.
Then Dennis got back in the swing of things was a pair of Sailfish releases.
Barbara nabbed a MASSIVE Dorado mid-day to keep the refrigerator filled.
Then Barbara scored this final release as a victory lap.
Excellent work again by this dynamic fishing duo!
The Explorer has been on fire during late December and we have barely been able to keep up with Captain David’s mammoth catches!
The Super Panga ran over 30 trips since our last report and the action has been out of sight. Sailfish have been a consistent treat for our anglers who crave offshore billfish.
Great work by Mate Kevin on the safe releases…the new mate on the Explorer is really turning heads with his excellent performance so far.
Clients of all ages have been catching football-sized Yellowfin Tuna from the Super panga…clearly Ahi is back on the menu!
Of course the staple of our blue water bounty is big Dorado, and as the first peak of the season hits the Mahi have been getting bigger.
The Explorer isn’t just a lure-dragger; she is fully equipped for inshore bottom fishing and Captain David’s lifetime of experience in Garza Bay spells doom for big reef dwellers.
Captain David of the legendary Explorer turned in a memorable trip for Nick Nichols with a trio of Sailfish released and a big Dorado that jumped right into the boat!
Nice releases by Mate Kevin and great camera work by Terry Williams.
Emily Fuller and her friends had a field day on the Wanderer with three Sailfish released and a pair of big Dorados for the dinner table.
Emily routed the first Sailfish alongside the flagship for a smooth release early in the trip.
After the release, they were treated to many Dorado strikes with four green monsters put on ice.
The action stayed strong later in the trip with two more Sailfish releases notched on the scoreboard.
That is some intense action for only a 5 hour trip. Great work by the Master Captain William and the Super Mate Alex!
Big Fish and Big Smiles for Keith Siegal and his posse on board the Wanderer. This fun-loving group of Texans took got their afternoon half day started with this excellent Dorado.
Later in the trip they were rewarded with an acrobatic Sailfish assaulting the flagship’s baits. It was a wild fight, but as usual the Wanderer was victorious.
Great hunting by Captain William and excellent fish handling by the awesome First Mate Alex!
Kevin Daly and his buddy took the to ultimate two-man fishing vessel the Adventurer and their 2.5 hours on the water yielded an excellent selection of Tunas
Two Whites and a Yella Fella mean good eatin’ for these boys! Nice job by Captain Carlos to get his clients on the fish.
Justin Morris and his girl hit on four different species of tasty fish with Captain Carlos on the Adventurer.
This beefy Dorado was the first catch of the day, but by no means was the biggest…get a load of this 30lbs. Cubera Snapper:
They rounded out the day with a perfect-for-sushi Yellowfin Tuna and the elusive Yellowtail Snapper. Both of these fish add a fantastic variety to the dinner table.
Great work by Captain Carlos and the excellent 23-foot Adventurer.
