On February 1 Captain William pulled double duty with two half day trips from two fun groups of client.
On the morning trip Ricardo Aiste and his group nabbed a pair of Sailfish offshore before heading inside to battle Bonitas.
Then in the afternoon Edward Squieres and Curtis Ethridge brought the kids along for an educational few hours on the water.
No giant fish to report this time, but check out these big smiles…always great to see youngster learn the craft of fishing on the Wanderer.
Art Jones andย David Ardoin marked up the scorecard with a wonderful day on the Harvester that featured a nice Striped Marlin release backed up with lots of Sailfish.
After the Marlin release, the Harvester was beset by hungry aggressive Sailfish.
With such clear water these fish are all the more gorgeous…Look at the glowing blue bio-luminescence on these beauty.
Mate Kevin was on his game with ten safe Sailfish releases plus the safe Marlin release. Surely his arms are tired after a day like this!
Amazing work by Captain William and the mega panga Harvester!
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.

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.

Great work by Mate Kevin on the safe release…all in a day’s work for the mega panga!
