Ray Smith and Jerome McKown had a big day of action with Captain Alex on January 31.
The first big catches of the day were this pair of floor-sweeping Dorados.
Then the action really heated up in the afternoon where the Sailfish were stacked up thick as cordwood.
Looks like Ray was pumped up to catch this big monster!
The day was punctuated by several double strikes.
Mate Kevin did a fantastic job handling these big Pacific Sailfish…amazing work!
Jacksonville’s own Captain Dan Parker is a legend in Garza Bay, fishing this area for more than a decade.
This FishingNosara Hall of Famer and his wife Charlene had a big day on January 31 with Captain William on the Wanderer.
After the first Sailfish release, Captain William found a pod of spinning porpoises and knew that Yellowfin Tuna were lurking underneath.
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.
Captain Carlos ended a white-hot month of fishing action with a trio of Sailfish releases on the 30th with returning client Art Jones.
Each of these monsters are world-class, and to nab three in one day is quite a feat.
Excellent fish handling by Mate Juan Carlos to keep everyone safe and smiling.
Captain David closed out the month of January with a BANG as the 23-foot Adventurer scored another big billfish release.
Client Zyan Fernades was the angler against this big Sailfish…what an achievement for the sneaky little panga boat!
The flagship welcomed client Curtis Ethridge for a fun day of action that featured a pair of sweet Sailfish releases:
The Harvester got on the scoreboard early with a toe-to-toe battle with a nasty Sailfish.
This fired-up monster put up a good fight, but was no match for Captain Alex and the Harvester.
Great work by Mate Kevin on the safe release…all in a day’s work for the mega panga!
Captain William closed out the month with a fun morning half day with client Colin Pisano scoring a beautiful Sailfish release.
After the release of this high-flyin’ trophy fish, the flagship brought home dinner with this 30lbs. Dorado.
The Wanderer scored four Sailfish releases on January 26 with client Paul Fontaine.
The fourth Sailfish was a fierce hard-charger but was no match for the flagship.
Later in the day they brought home dinner with this big Dorado.
Great work by the big blue beauty!
January 26 was a big time on the blue water. The action peaked in the afternoon with the first of four Sailfish released notched just after 1 pm.
Great hunting by Captain William and excellent fish handling by Mate Johnny underscored this wonderful day of action.
