From Queen Snappers to Jack Crevelle, Captain Fico has the inshore reefs dialed-in and is providing big smiles for his clients:
Captain Fico snagged a Rooster fish of his own on an off day in mid-August.
Nice “day off” for Garza Bay’s fastest rising star.
Captain Fico has been swarming the inshore reefs, with a bunch of excellent Rooster fish scores:
That’s no Instagram filter; it’s moisture on the camera lens, but look close and you can see super-sized Roosters.
Great work on the reefs by Captain Brujo!
Captain Fico on the 23-foot Adventurer continues to dominate the inshore species with some remarkable catches to close out the month of July.
This Cubera Snapper is a typical catch for the switchblade, despite the coral green waters inshore.
Captain Fico had a big day on July 26 with a wide variety of edibles on ice…this Ponpano is certainly one of the biggest of the year so far for the whole team:
As if the ceviche wasn’t filling enough, this couple also scored a nice Yellowfin Tuna for filets and sushi:
They closed out the day with this 30 lbs. Rooster fish release.
Great performances from the up-and-coming Captain Fico!
Teresa Schilhab’s boys scored a lovely pair of Rooster Fish releases on board the battleship Discoverer:
Nice work by Captain David to ensure the safe release of both of these beauties.
Sweet Rooster fish release on the battleship Discoverer on July 8.
Safely returned to the water as always…see you soon buddy!
The Wanderer stayed inshore with Shirley Smith’s group and delivered beautiful Rooster Fish action.
These beasts put a lot of strain on our Penn Slammers, but the gold reels held up to the fight.
The Discoverer scored a double whammy on trophy releases with client Brian Clark. The day started with this lovely Rooster Fish release:
Then the big score came in the afternoon in the form of a huge Black Marlin.
Estimated over 300lbs. this whopper is certainly the fish of lifetime for Mr. Clark.
The mighty Wanderer stayed inshore on May 20 and knocked off a bucket-list caliber Rooster Fish:
Safe released as usual by First Mate Alex.
They also got hooked into the very rare Spotted Eagle Ray. Here is what they look like in the water:
It is very unusual for one of these to hit a bait, and since they are a near-threatened species Captain William order the ray released without taking it from the water.
Nice work to retrieve the hook so that this creature can breed back to normal levels.
Vicky Martinko provided the curtain call for her honeymoon fishing adventure on May 8 as Captain David set her up for a pair of trophy fish releases.
After an early morning Sailfish release, Captain David took the battleship inshore for a fantastic Rooster Fish release.
Great fish-handling by Mate Juan Carlos to get this fish back in the water after the photo…looks like Vicky did want to let go so easily!
They also scored a big Rock snapper for the dinner table.
Great end to a great week of fishing for these newlyweds!
Newlyweds Daniel and Vicky Martinko brought their talents over to the Super Panga and the Explorer scored excellent fish for these clients. Check out this mammoth Wahoo:
Daniel followed up with a pair of big Rooster fish releases:
Great work by Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin for these awesome anglers!
