Captain Fico on the 23-foot Adventurer continues to dominate the inshore species with some remarkable catches to close out the month of July.

This Cubera Snapper is a typical catch for the switchblade, despite the coral green waters inshore.

Captain Fico had a big day on July 26 with a wide variety of edibles on ice…this Ponpano is certainly one of the biggest of the year so far for the whole team:

As if the ceviche wasn’t filling enough, this couple also scored a nice Yellowfin Tuna for filets and sushi:

They closed out the day with this 30 lbs. Rooster fish release.

Great performances from the up-and-coming Captain Fico!

The late-night rains have helped to stir up the sea life in the near-shore area. The fresh cool water rushing out of the mountains creates a perfect estuary for boiling balls of baitfish.


Captain William found this bait pod on April 23 with client Claire Casazza and her friends. They worked this bait school hard and caught this excellent Cubera Snapper:


In the early afternoon they added a nice 20lbs. Rock Snapper to the menu:

 

The final fish of the day was the biggest…this whopper Snapper tips the scales way over 30lbs.

Excellent work by these ladies!

The Wanderer scored a massive Cubera Snapper to start off an afternoon 5hr. trip on April 7.

Then the flagship took advantage of the legendary late-day bite with some scale-tipping monsters caught just before sunset:

This Rooster fish was released, but this Cubera Snappers had no such luck:

Sweet tattoo alert!

Great work by the never-surrender Wanderer!

Alabama’s own Andrew Nichols brought his kids along for an inshore hunt, and First Mate Alex was well prepared with lots of Mullets in the livewell.

This little Cierro Mackeral was the ice-breaker, and was a sign of a great day to come.

How’s a gargantuan Cubera Snapper sound to get the ball rolling?

You know its a memorable fish with Captain William gets a picture for his scrapbook!

The Wanderer headed a few miles offshore in the afternoon and snared a nice Sailfish release.

Inshore madness on the March 24 on-board the Wanderer!

This 30lbs. Rooster Fish release got things going early, then was followed up with this gigantic Cubera Snapper:

Later in the trip they repeated with a Rooster Fish release followed up with another Cubera.

The reefs have been fertile all month, but rarely do we get two massive Rooster Fish releases AND two Cubera Snappers.

As an added delicacy, check out this Blue Jack Crevelle…this is a rare catch for our area and is the first of the year for the whole team.
