Joseph Caveness and his family chose the Wanderer on May 18 and the family-friendly flagship scored a wide variety of fun fish.

Joe started the day with a nice 20lbs. Yellowfin Tuna and then the kids took over the reel, scoring this nice Dorado.

Captain William moved inshore in the afternoon and young Mr. Caveness scored a small Bonita and a nice Yellowfin.

This 25lbs. Wahoo provided more diversity tot the filet bag, and is a welcome surprise to find this close to shore.

The fish of the day was scored by Mama Bear in the form of this wonderful Rooster fish release.

All in all it’s a great day of family fun on the famous flagship!

Fresh off of the Ship of Fools victory, El Matador booked the Harvester for an afternoon of family fishing with his young son Noah.

The kid took the water splendidly and turned the crank on this Bonita.

A trip on the Harvester is a great way to get a kid started fishing on the right track.

Good day of action for Bart Stephens and his family on the 30th.

The early scores were small Dorado and Red Groupers.

The late afternoon bite yielded a true whopper…check out this giant Cubera Snapper.

March 29 was family fun day on the Discoverer! The only thing better than seeing young kids on the water is seeing them score big fish.

After this pair of Sailfish releases the youngsters stayed busy with 8 small Dorados on ice. Great work kids!

Philip Rivera and his family joined Captain Alex for the beginning of a double-day of fishing on March 15. The morning half of the day was highlighted by this excellent Sailfish release:

Then in the afternoon Jasper Buchbauer came aboard for a Yellowfin Tuna rally.

Persistence pays, and this late-day monster proves that the best fish of the day is often the last fish of the day:

Captain Alex proved his inshore prowess on March 2 with a great variety of catches.

A pair of Rooster fish releases highlighted the action, but this group also added a nice Red Grouper and the elusive Congrio…a rare catch in our area that yield the best meat in the Pacific.

Our new friend Ben Smith brought his two sons along for a freewheeling afternoon of fun on the 23rd, punctuated by a big stack of filets.

This Yellowfin Tuna and Cubera Snapper yield two of the most desirable meats in all of fishing.

Great work by Captain Fico to put theses fellas on the fish.

The Explorer welcomed a great family for fun fishing action on the 18th.

This big Amberjack and Snapper score led to big smiles all around!

Our old pal Ryan McCulley brought the family for a 6.5 hour trip and their scorecard ran the gamut from inshore Bonita action to offshore Sailfish scores.

The Bonita were deployed inshore in an attempt to score a big monster, however the offshore bite was really where the beast was found.

Excellent work by Mate Johnny and this young angler.
