Michael Williams enlisted the plucky Adventurer for an inshore harvest and was rewarded with a wide variety of table fare.
This well-rounded haul included Dorado, Cubera Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, and the ultra-elusive Queen Snapper.
When you invest a full-day into Extreme Panga fishing, this is the kind of production you can expect. Great work by Mate Fico in keeping the pedal to the metal all day long!
The Adventurer scored four small Dorados on a brief 2.5 hour trip on May 8.
Clearly we’ve caught bigger Mahi before, but the pile of filets look the same from a 40lbs. as from these four 10lbs. fish.
The Adventurer has seen some great action this month, but we always want to pay special attention to the catches recorded by our young anglers.
This father-son sunset trip on May 3 yielded some nice White Tuna catches (above), and the next day another youngster grabbed himself a sandwich-sized Dorado:
Great work by Fico and the family-friendly Adventurer.
Taylor Lukof notched the first big Dorado in boat history during his May 3 trip on the Discoverer.
This deck-sweeper is easily 50lbs. and should keep the party fed well for the rest of the week.
The Explorer hit the meat market on May 3 and put a nice Dorado in the shopping cart.
They also added come color in the form of this 15lbs. Yella Fella. Nice work to fill the fishbox by Captain Carlos on the Explorer.
Seth Moore and his boys are on board for several trips this week, and he got off to a fast start with a bunch of nice Yellowfin Tunas on ice.
They also walloped this huge Dorado…that’s a lot of filets!
Great work by the crew of the famous Wanderer on this excellent fishin’ mission.
Bob Pease finished off Day 3 with another nice Sailfish release, plus added a MASSIVE Dorado to his scorecard.
This deck sweeper is at least 60lbs., maybe more. Nice to see that Bob won’t have to eat chicken tonight; 15+ fish this week and now he finally has a filet!
In the afternoon First Mate Alex put out the billfish spread and attracted another hungry Sailfish.
Great work all around to keep the good times rollin’ on the Wanderer!
Martin Spreen and his group had a great day on the Wanderer with the scorecard revealing multiple Sailfish releases and one of the biggest Dorados you’ll ever see!
The early bite was dominated by Sailfish, all fired up and high-flying.
Later in the day Captain William discovered a pod of spinning porpoises and knew that good-eatin’ fish were near.
A few small Dorados found the icebox first, then this granddaddy Mammoth Mahi Mahi hit the hooks:
Dan Lavoie and his group had a fantastic day on the Wanderer as Captain William gave them a behind-the-scenes tour of Sailfish City.
They broke the ice with an early release, then nabbed dinner in the form of this big Dorado.
First Mate Alex didn’t even get this fish fileted before a high-flying Sailfish entered the spread and took the hook.
The releases came fast and furious in the afternoon with four more spectacular Sailfish releases on the scorecard.
Great day of action on the mighty Wanderer.
Mark Obenour kept the good time rollin’ on the Wanderer with a trio of Sailfish release plus some brutish Dorados.
The first two Sails were no match for Mark and his buddy, and the Dorado met equally quick fates only they got released into the icebox.
Just before ‘lines in’ Mark added this awesome Sailfish release.
Timed at 3:45pm, this is the greatest way to end a fishing trip!
