Rob Coxey and Russell Nader turned in a brilliant performance on August 7 with Captain Fito reporting a wide variety of catches. This Dorado got things going:
Rob scored this small Rooster Fish.
They also pried up this unusual Rock Snapper.
Lastly, they scored this mystery fish; we thinks its either a Blue Jack Crevalle or perhaps a Bluetail Trevalley.
UPDATE: It’s an African pompano. Thanks to Dave Eisner for the eagle-eyes.
Captain Fito stayed close to shore on December 29 and delivered this beautiful Rock Snapper.
Yummy!
On August 18, Justin Halliday and Misty Dingel had a great time with Captain David on the Adventurer.
They nagged a few nice Yellowfin Tunas, then followed-up with tasty Yellowtail Snapper.
More snappers of the Red and Striped variety rounded out the day’s catches.
Add in this Jack Crevalle, and you have a very diverse filet bag.
Sean Jackson’s crew scored big inshore on August 8. Theย Discoverer reports these nice Snappers (Cubera and Rock) were caught and released.
We used to keep these for the dinner table, but we have since become enlightened about the long-term health of this fish stock and now release them whenever possible.
Spencer Hoene was itchin’ to get fishing, so he booked theย Adventurer on July 29 to warm up for his group trips on the bigger boats later in the week.
Great job on the catch of this Rock Snapper.
Captain Alex showed his versitility inshore on the 23rd; after all, the Harvester is more than just and offshore weapon.
They nagged a big Rooster Fish and a juvinile; both were safe released as always.
The inshore aquarium yielded some exotic morsels. Rock Snapper, Needlefish, and a Gaguero all found they way to the ice.
Captain Fico stayed inshore with Greg Randecker on the 7th and posted a very productive day, highlighted by this nice Rooster fish release.
They also got some sweet treats to eat, thanks to these tasty Snappers:
Captain David fished every day from December 20 to the 28th, and scored a wide variety of great fish for his clients.
Yellowfin Tunas were in the mix, even though we aren’t anywhere close to their peak season. Its a great sign to see these football-sized Yella Fellas this close to shore, and this early in the year.
An array of Jack Crevelles and Rock Snappers made sure that ceviche would be on the Christmas dinner table.
Big Dorados have been in the area all month and while most boats found them 10 miles offshore, the crafty Adventurer nabbed several monsters that wandered too close to shore.
What a great start to the season for Captain David and the 23-foot switchblade.
Chuck Harris and his boys had a big day on the Wanderer with Captain William reporting lots of fun inshore action.
After this fat Jack Crevelle, the posse spent the day rounding up a pile of sandwich-sized Snappers.
Captain Fico show angler Bill Mendoza and his family a good time on the 10th.
They nabbed a nice variety of catches, highlighted by this nice Dorado.
