Eddie Hake and his family scored a big Sailfish release with Captain William on the mighty Wanderer.
Great to see a youngster catch such a great fish, plus they brought home the bacon with a decent-sized Dorado:

Ricky Jaen’s group had a heck of day with Captain William on the Wanderer with big Sailfish releases backed up with Yellowfin and Dorado.
This Sailfish got the day off to a quick start, then the kids took over for a wave of Yellowfin Tunas.
The variety continued as young Mr. Jaen roped in a respectable sized Dorado.
The trip concluded with another sweet Sailfish release…excellent work by Team Jaen!

The big Battleship welcomed some little anglers for some fun inshore action on July 14.
Captain David (a father of two himself) is an excellent teacher of the craft and the Discoverer is a great place for youngsters to catch the fishing bug.
Nice work on these critters, especially considering it’s been years since we saw the elusive Congrio (the eel/fish hybrid held by the kid in the red shirt). That is one tasty filet right there!

All boats were deployed on July 7, but as always the Wanderer led the way with several sweet Sailfish releases and lots of Yellowfin Tuna filets for a great family of fishermen.
It’s always a treat to see youngsters get their fishing games started, but with these kind of big pelagics I hope they don’t get spoiled!
The grown-ups got in on the action as well:
The Yellowfin Tuna have established a beachhead a few miles offshore and it will take our Navy a few months to break through their lines.
Until then it’s gonna be big smiles and full fishboxes!

“Great time had by all, here are some pictures from our 7/2 trip on Wanderer.” writes Jeff Beall.
Check out this monster:
Later on they encountered a school of big Yellowfin Tunas.
Each of the boys tackled a Yella Fella of their own on this trip.
First Mate Alex is always trying new things, and for these big Tunas he likes to vent them of their blood immediately after the catch using a strong rope and a small incision above the tail.
This keeps the boat clean, preserves ice, and most importantly produces a blast of oxygen-rich blood into the spread which attracts more bites.
Great work by this hard-fishing family!

Roy Starling and his son returned to the Adventurer on the 26th and scored more tasty morsels for the fishbox.
This Yellowtail Snapper is a real whopper, plus the Snappers are nothing to sneeze at either!

Jason Sandmaier and his son performed beautifully on the Adventurer on the 21st, so much so that two days later they brought the ladies along for a day with Captain Carlos on the Explorer.
The super panga delivered the goods with five Sailfish released throughout the trip.
Excellent fish-handling by Mate Kevin to see all these fish safely released.
Great work by this fun fishing family.

On Father’s Day, The Adventurer celebrated by scoring a full buffet of filets for Jason Sandmaier and his son.
Captain Fico is an expert at nailing multiple species on a single day. Great work by the 23-foot pocket knife.

The mighty Wanderer delivered the goods for Gary Pickel and his family with a MASSIVE Black Marlin release:
This beast hit the hook just after 9am and put up a 30 minute fight leading to a safe release.
After the safe release by First Mate Alex, they scored a nice pair of Sailfish:
Then they backed up the monster billfish with a slew of big Yellowfin Tunas…Captain William knows that you follow the birds and the porpoises to the land of giant Yella Fellas:
Great fish-hunting by Master Captain William and the flagship Wanderer.

The Adventurer became a home for a week of Father Day celebrations with lots of Father/son teams scoring excellent fish.
Howard Hirsch and his son nabbed some tasty morsels with Captain Fico on June 19th.
Definitely looks like these boys brought home the bacon!
