For what it’s worth, that will be worth 1500 points come tournament time in April. They also brought home dinner with a big Dorado backed up by Yellowfin Tuna.




The Discoverer got her share of the action on December 11 with our old friend Dave Caywood’s group scoring this sweet Sailfish.

On December 8, the Discoverer nagged a nice Sailfish release backed up by a tasty Dorado.


John Hickson and the Discoverer continued to score on December 5 with an excellent Sailfish release.

This big monster was followed up by several Dorados on deck.


Great work by Captain Carlos.
Shane Sheltra scored a sweet Sailfish release on December 3 with the big battleship Discoverer.

Tampa angler Dan Rosensteel had a nice day on the 27th with the Discoverer reporting a nice Sailfish release early in the trip.

Then in the afternoon, the keen-eyed Captain Carlos spotted a piece of floating debris, possibly a detached FAD. They found a nice ecosystem of Dorados has sprouted up underneath the floating shade.




Captain Carlos’ ingenuity was on display for this fun trip.
Dennis Garcia’s first fish was a memorable one; check out this 200+lbs. Blue Marlin scored on the Discoverer on November 22.
