The Adventurer scored big again on March 21st will a wide haul of filets.
They scored a Cubera Snapper early in the trip and followed in up with a beefy Cierro Mackeral.
This is certainly an above-average size for this tasty species. The final fish of the day was another big Cubera.
Small boat, big fish…just another day for the 23-foot Adventurer.
The Wanderer has been filling the trophy case with releases all week, but the filets have been a little scarce. Fortunately, client David Rybas elected to stay inshore on March 20 and his group laid the smack down on a bunch of big Cubera Snappers.
This first one is enough to feed Garza for the day, but the next two that came in could feed all of Guanacaste!
Amazing haul by the mighty Wanderer.
Captain Fico has the Adventurer dialed-in and clients are reaping the rewards. Check out this excellent Rooster fish release:
They also scored a nice 25lbs. Cubera Snapper for the fishbox.
Great action from the powerful pocket-knife.
Hands down the best fish of the month for the Adventurer was this mammoth Cubera Snapper score on March 16.
Easily tipping the scales at 50+lbs., this is the kind of fish the Adventurer was made for:
Wonderful work by the fast-rising Captain Fico!
Captain Fico has continued to strengthen his game, especially when it comes to scoring on multiple species in a single trip. On March 5 he filled the fishbox with:
Jack Crevalle,
Cubera Snapper,
…and the tasty Cierro Mackeral. Great results from the boat that is always on the fish.
Returning Hall of Famer Dennis Seltsam tried his hand on the new Discoverer for a few trips in late February. Joined by Bill and Mary Elms, this Kentucky angler scored big on a variety of species.
This big Dorado was the highlight, but they also nabbed Sailfish, Snapper, and Yellowfin Tuna
Recently the barroom brawler pulled up a stool to the legendary reef at Pincha Padre and knocked out all comers.
This beautiful Rooster fish release is certainly the highlight of the haul.
Later in the day they scored a nice-sized Cubera Snapper for the dinner table. Excellent tasting filets on the way!
On February 5 Craig Sutton joined the Wanderer with the goal of replicating the prior day’s Cubera Snapper success.
The offshore gear stayed stowed as Craig dropped a live blue runner to the reef on a Penn 760 Slammer. This monster Cubera ascended to the surface to maul the frightened bait, and the fight was on!
Amazing fish for Craig which may only be bested by his previous Hall of Fame Cubera catches:

Captain Fico has the 23-foot Adventurer dialed in and he is doing damage on the inshore meat fish. He had three great trips this week, with this 60+lbs. Cubera Snapper at the top of the hit list:
A few days later he pried up this nice Yellowtail Snapper from the reefs at Pincha Padre. Not as big as the Cubera but twice as tasty on the plate.
Recently some meaty Dorado have swung inside of the blue water break and the sneaky Adventurer was there to welcome them to the buffet:
Who says you need a big boat to catch big fish down here? Don’t tell that to Captain Fico on the Adventurer!
Dr. Kelly Huber and her family of North Florida anglers braves some big seas and stormy skies to get a crack at Extreme Panga Fishing. After a very difficult first day on the water, they rebounded nicely with excellent inshore action.
The Good Doctor scored this Bonita early in the trip…hey slow down! We got our sights set on better-eating fish than a Bonita!
For instance,. this Cubera Snapper couldn’t resist the tasty morsel and swallowed the Bonita whole (including the hook):
They followed up with a nice Yellowtail Snapper.
Great perseverance from these Ponte Vedra folks was rewarded with a sack full of filets.
