After their excellent action offshore, Buz Underill returned to the Wanderer and opted to stay in close to ply the reefs just outside Garza Bay.
They deployed our exclusive Cubera Snapper Tactic and scored big:
This monster weighs at least 50lbs. and its filets will pair nicely with the 80lbs. of Dorado they scored earlier in the week.
Great work by Mr. Underill and the crew of the flagship Wanderer.
Chad Grimes and his posse of North Carolina anglers put a hurtin’ on the inshore reef dweller on August 18 with the flagship Wanderer.
This monster Rooster fish release at the start of the day was just the tip of the iceberg.
They followed up with a MAMMOTH Cubera Snapper (unusual for so early in the day) and then added a late-day Rooster fish release.
Great work from our friends from CCA North Carolina!
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!
Angler Roy Starling and his boy also scored big this Father’s Day week on the Adventurer. Check out this tasty Cubera Snapper:
Javier took a break from his duties as Nosara Paradise Rentals General Manager to join Captain Fico on an early morning run to Pincha Padre. Look what El Jefe pried up off the reef:
That is a true monster Cubera Snapper!
Easily weighing over 60lbs., this is one for record books, even for Javier.
Our old buddy Jay Thompson returned for another crack at the inshore reefs and he scored a nice trio of big Snappers.
Captain Fico always finds the fish for his clients.
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!
Hubble Keller continued his fishing hot streak with the Wanderer on April 1 as Captain William set up shop inshore to hunt for big Cubera Snappers.
These are true monster fish, especially to fight on a spinning rod. These Penn 7500 Slammers are fit for the task!
Smile for the camera!
Great work by the mighty flagship!
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.
