Captain David welcomed some new friends from the nation of France for an action-packed five day campaign on the Adventurer.
It’s definitely a good sign to see these Yellowfin Tuna this close to shore.
Stephane Venant, Tim Capsek, and Camille Chombart we prepared for inshore battle; take a look at Stephane’s traveling arsenal:
Clearly the fish weren’t prepared for these hard-fighting Frenchmen!
Big Snappers were also lurking on the reefs, and they were no match for Stephane:

The Wanderer braved some stiff offshore winds during the first week of January, but still delivered the good for these clients with a fun Double Dorado score:
The next day began with a beautiful sunrise over Playa Garza, a good sign for a productive day.
The offshore winds meant that Captain William would stay inshore and apply a classic live bait tactic that always seems to bear fruit. First step was to collect live Bonitas from the shallow reefs.
After a brief stint in the Wanderer‘s live tuna tubes, the first 5lbs. Bonita was hooked and deployed to the reefs below.
In a flash this mighty Rooster Fish engulfed the bait, leading to this wonderful release.
Later another live Bonita was struck by this 40+lbs. Amberjack, filling the fishbox and putting some tasty ceviche on the menu.
Great work by the mighty flagship.
