Albert Aucoin and his sons took to the blue water like only a bunch of good old Tampa boys will: 3 days, 3 trips, all on the super Panga Explorer with Captain David. They earned many tasty filets highlighted by this 25lbs. Dorado caught on February 6 and 15lbs. Mullet Snapper caught on February 7:

Excellent work by a group of hardcore CCA anglers and the 26-foot Explorer

Dennis Seltsam is a returning Hall of Famer who absolutely lit it up last February with a wonderful Marlin and Roosterfish release. This time he arrives to our shores with an empty bucket list and let’s see what was biting for Dennis.


Mr. Seltsam got off to a quick start with this respectable 25lbs. Dorado on ice.

After as few missed strikes, Dennis was rewarded later in the trip when a mighty Sailfish found itself on the hook.


Another safe clean release by the Wanderer and a nice start to the week for Dennis Seltsam.

Travis Blackwell of South Carolina brought his group to theย Wanderer in search of blue water beasties, and Captain William reports that they found exactly what they were seeking. They released a pair of lovely Pacific Sailfish and added a dinner-sized Dorado to boot.ย 

Of course these beauties were safely released and we look forward to fighting them again really soon.

Like a true Southern gentleman, Travis let the ladies fight the trophy fish while he took care of the meat.

Great work by Captain William, First Mate Alex, the Blackwell group, and the mighty Wanderer!

Much better action for Derrell McCrary and his posse on their second day of fishing on the Wanderer. They started off on a good note by icing this 40lbs. Dorado:

In the mid-afternoon the billfish bite turned on inย  a major way and Derrell stepped up to the challenge, releasing this gorgeous 80lbs. Pacific Sailfish:

This hardcore group of anglers finished off the trip with a 70lbs. Pacific Sailfish and put them memories of their slow first day far behind them.

Our good pal Mike Young took to the Explorer in the afternoon and Captain David headed right back to where the fish were in the morning with similar results. No Snapper in the afternoon, but a nearly identical 40+lbs. Dorado was found on the end of the line



The Explorer continues her mission to deliver consistent, fun action for all of her clients. Great work as always by Captain David and Mate Carlos.

Carl Hammond of California booked the blue beauty for a 6.5 hour excursion to Sailfish City and the mighty flagship strutted her stuff as usual. They released six beautiful Pacific Sailfish throughout the trip ranging from 75lbs. to 100lbs.

Caution: Low flying Sailfish!

They also KO’d a nice 50lbs. Dorado for the dinner table to round out their day of trophy releases.

Great day on the water by Captain William, First Mate Alex, and the unbeatable Wanderer.

Michael Reed and his posse had a whale of a good time on the Super Panga Explorer with the legendary Captain David. The highlight of the fishbox was this trio of perfect-eating sized Mullet Snapper:

These fellas lose their meat density when they grow over 25lbs., but these pan-sized morsels are ideal for table fare. They also added a 40+lbs. Dorado which tastes great big or small.

Another fantastic trip to the fish market by the unbeatable Super Panga Explorer!

Fantastic day of all around action from Captain David on the unbeatable Explorer! With Carlos on duty over on the Wanderer, Garza local Steven stepped up to the mate position and the mighty super panga didn’t show the slightest letdown.

Client Michael LeChance and his wife laid a beating on several Dorado early in the trip, then set their sights on massive Sailfish.

\

They had three bites and one wonderful Sailfish release during the mid-day bite, then Captain David headed inshore to mop up on Snappers.

Once again good things came in threes with a trio of Snappers in the fishbox.

Looks like everyone had a great time on the baddest super panga you’ve ever seen, the Explorer!

Kathy and James Preis continued their strong offshore performance with a second trip on the flagship Wanderer with Captain William and First Mate Alex (freshly back from his weekend in San Jose). The fish clearly missed Alex while he was gone cause they swarmed the boat like moths to a flame.

Kathy nailed this excellent Dorado around 10am, then the stage was set for a massive Sailfish battle that would see three successful releases out of five hookups.

You think Alex is pumped to be back on the water? Check out the “Superman Pose” on this release shot.

Another great trip from the best boat in Garza, the Wanderer!
