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.

The Wanderer‘s final trip of the season was a special treat…Chief of Security Eduardo Hernandez invited some of his friends and family from San Jose for an inshore trip and their long hours of driving paid off big time on the flagship. Check out this monster Snapper they pulled off the reef:

Great way to end a banner campaign for the mighty Wanderer!

Now is time for some light maintenance and serious down-time for the hardest working and best fishing crew in Garza: Get some rest Captain William and First Mate Alex…November is right around the corner!

Our great friend Brooke Sheilds is in town and brought her son Oliver and sister-in-law Maria Yetty for an inshore fishing adventure on the Wanderer, and they scored an excellent Cubera Snapper:

Great work by young Oliver who has been fishing with us for several years…he has grown into a top-notch fisherman and we always look forward to his visits.

Showing extreme dedication to the hunt, Ed Smith finally scored a Cubera Snapper on the Explorer.

Ed writes: “Finally checked the Cubera Snapper off the list. Carlos and crew worked hard for 3 days and it finally paid off.”

“You know the days gonna be good when you hook up a wahoo first (instead of the bonita we were trying to catch for bait).”

“Craig, we’ve had a great time so far, love the house, the crew, the town and the surf – can you just the roads fixed?”

He also scored another great Yellowfin Tuna and a Yellowtail Snapper. That’s a boatload of filets!

Craig Sutton was joined by our old friend Captain Andrew Foster for a long day of trolling on the Wanderer. Bites were scarce offshore, so this Atlantic Beach fishing duo headed inshore and found some excellent action just a few miles from shore.

Andrew’s hot-dogging on the rod was premature, and this big Rooster fish put up a great fight!

After the safe release of the Rooster, Craig scored a nice 25lbs. Cubera Snapper for the dinner table.

Great trip-saving action on the flagship!

St. Augustine legend Dave Liebowitz joined Craig on board the mighty Wanderer and these two good ole’ North Florida boys snagged a familar exotic:

Dave has whacked many a Red Snapper in Florida, so it’s fitting their distant cousin was his first catch in Costa.

This monster Cubera Snapper weighs a good 40lbs. and that means big smiles all around.
