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.

The great fishing continues for Captain Sergio Atanes’ Costa Rica Adventure group. On June 8 the Discoverer welcomed Jack Walker, Alice Trautman, Sue Garcia and Beverly Lanier for some great inshore action. 

A great trio of Cubera Snappers is the perfect filet haul to keep the party going on shore.

Great catches by Captain David!

The Odd Couples really got cooking on May 31. After a slow day of trolling offshore, these savvy Florida anglers chose to stay inshore where the fresh rain water helped stir up a nice array of bottom dwellers.

A pair of big Cuberra Snappers were the highlight of the trip until this beefy Rooster fish stole the spotlight:

After a safe release, the team got back to meat harvesting with a septuplet of sweet Yellowtail Snappers.

Take a look at the day’s haul:

Looks like the best fish market you’ve ever seen, courtesy of Captain William and the multi-faceted Wanderer.
