Graham Mehain and his group stayed inshore for their trip on the Wanderer and were rewarded with a healthy bounty of great tasting filets. This Yellowtail is certainly the highlight of their haul:
They then followed up with a beefy Jack Crevelle.
The ladies set the bar pretty high, but Graham made a good account of himself with this day-ending Dorado.
Excellent inshore hunting by the mighty flagship.
Hall of Famer Dennis Paul and Barbara Dayhoff have made life absolutely miserable for the billfish population this week, and on their second-to-last trip of their vacation they laid a beating on another quartet of Sailfish.
Barbara kicked off the action with this sweet release.
Then Dennis got back in the swing of things was a pair of Sailfish releases.
Barbara nabbed a MASSIVE Dorado mid-day to keep the refrigerator filled.
Then Barbara scored this final release as a victory lap.
Excellent work again by this dynamic fishing duo!
Captain David of the legendary Explorer turned in a memorable trip for Nick Nichols with a trio of Sailfish released and a big Dorado that jumped right into the boat!
Nice releases by Mate Kevin and great camera work by Terry Williams.
Emily Fuller and her friends had a field day on the Wanderer with three Sailfish released and a pair of big Dorados for the dinner table.
Emily routed the first Sailfish alongside the flagship for a smooth release early in the trip.
After the release, they were treated to many Dorado strikes with four green monsters put on ice.
The action stayed strong later in the trip with two more Sailfish releases notched on the scoreboard.
That is some intense action for only a 5 hour trip. Great work by the Master Captain William and the Super Mate Alex!
Big Fish and Big Smiles for Keith Siegal and his posse on board the Wanderer. This fun-loving group of Texans took got their afternoon half day started with this excellent Dorado.
Later in the trip they were rewarded with an acrobatic Sailfish assaulting the flagship’s baits. It was a wild fight, but as usual the Wanderer was victorious.
Great hunting by Captain William and excellent fish handling by the awesome First Mate Alex!
Justin Morris and his girl hit on four different species of tasty fish with Captain Carlos on the Adventurer.
This beefy Dorado was the first catch of the day, but by no means was the biggest…get a load of this 30lbs. Cubera Snapper:
They rounded out the day with a perfect-for-sushi Yellowfin Tuna and the elusive Yellowtail Snapper. Both of these fish add a fantastic variety to the dinner table.
Great work by Captain Carlos and the excellent 23-foot Adventurer.
Some tough seas offshore today for Doc Hatton and his posse on the Wanderer, but these New Jersey anglers ain’t scared of a little swell…compared to the Montauk Canyons this is child’s play.
Doc picked up right where they left off on the 5th with a pair of Dorados in the fishbox early on.
Later in the day they found this juvenile Sailfish roaming around and snatched him up for a safe quick release.
These hardy fishermen have another trip on the books this week and we look for a fantastic finish for Doc Hatton’s crew.
Doc Hatton and his crew got on a big bite of Dorado today on the Wanderer. Check out this mammoth green monsters:
With three big Mahi in the box, they found a fellow appreciator of fresh Dorado meat: this high-flyin Sailfish:
The trip went so well that they released this late-day Dorado estimated under 10lbs…come back when your grown!
Great work as always by First Mate Alex and Captain William on the boat that is fit for all forms of marine combat.
Maikel Cotton’s group exploded onto the scene on the mighty Wanderer with a Striped Marlin release backed up by several Sailfish and a few Dorados for good measure.
This Stripey was the highlight of the trip and is estimated by First Mate Alex to weigh in around 250lbs.
Captain William has the map to Sailfish City and once again put his clients right on top of a swarm of super Sailfish.
Dorado filets round out this trip for these fun-loving clients!
Great work all around by Captain William and First Mate Alex, the Kings of Garza Bay!
Excellent day of Dorado action for Irene and Bruce Page on the Wanderer.
The green monsters came in at a steady pace and the whole group got a change to master these Mahi Mahi.
Some people think that First Mate Alex has to best gig in town, but it’s not all smiling in the photos with world class fish…guess who got to release this accidental Shark by-catch?
All in a day’s work for the famous Wanderer!
