The big boats were busy so Team Vincent chose the 23-foot Adventurer for some inshore action on June 11.
Their day broke with a big surprise…in nice Pacific Sailfish had wandered in less than 3 miles from shore.
“Some offshore fish crashed our inshore party,” Patrick reports. “We went 1 for 5 on sailfish, then scored two small yellowfin tuna, a mahi, 3 bonitos, a cubera snapper, a mullet snapper, and a jack.”
“Nice day on a small inshore boat.”
The Adventurer welcomed a great client for a day of wonderful action on May 25.
Alvaro Diaz and his friends scored a big Yellowtail Snapper, then added a beefy Rock Snapper.
They ended the day with a third nice Snapper on ice.
Great work Captain Fico!
Captain Fico is on a rampage and the inshore morsels are paying the price!
Our good friend Bert Goeree visited all the way from the Netherlands for a whirlwind week of inshore action, and they scored a wide variety of species.
This beautiful Queen Snapper (above) got the week off to a good start, then they closed the week with this beefy Snapper:
Great work by Captain Fico and the Adventurer!
Our old buddy Jay Thompson returned for another crack at the inshore reefs and he scored a nice trio of big Snappers.
Captain Fico always finds the fish for his clients.
Chuck Harris is a multiple time Hall of Famer who brings down a strong-fishing posse every time he shows up. On May 1st Chuck was over on the Discoverer tearing it up offshore, while his buddies took the flagship to Pincha Padre to ply the inshore action.
This Rooster fish was an excellent start to the day, which also included super Snapper action.
Whatchu lookin’ at?
Great day all around for these guys who still have a big week of fishing ahead!
Returning Hall of Famer Dennis Seltsam tried his hand on the new Discoverer for a few trips in late February. Joined by Bill and Mary Elms, this Kentucky angler scored big on a variety of species.
This big Dorado was the highlight, but they also nabbed Sailfish, Snapper, and Yellowfin Tuna
Captain Carlos has continued to shine on the super panga Explorer this month.
On November 11 he led a trip to the inshore fish market for his clients and they filled the shopping cart with Dorado, Wahoo, and Queen Snappers:
Amazing all around catches for the Explorer left these clients with a wide variety of filets for the frigerator.
Troy and Christine Jones took to the Explorer for a fruitful harvest of sea life on November 4, scoring a nice Dorado backed-up by some tasty Snappers.
Excellent work by Captain Carlos and the baddest super panga on the planet!
Just because the boats are afraid to fish does not mean the fish are afraid to eat.
The never-quit Explorer is powering through this ‘off-season’ with three great trips with newlyweds Veronica and Larry Tatum.
On September 9 they ventured offshore for the first of three 5hr. trips and scored a pair of Sailfish along with a nice bycatch of Rainbow Runners and Mole Snappers.
The next day they added another nice Sailfish, plus another pile of Snappers.
Larry also got the best of this 25lbs. Rooster Fish:
Nice fish-handling by Mate Fico to see this fish to a safe live release.
That funky fish on the left is called a Barbero Snapper and is certainly a rare catch in our area.
September 12 was getaway day, and once again Larry and Veronica found Sailfish success.
Great work by the legendary Explorer and the fearless Captain Carlos.
The Wanderer‘s final trip of the season was a special treat…Chief of Security Eduardo Hernandez invited some of his friends and family from San Jose for an inshore trip and their long hours of driving paid off big time on the flagship. Check out this monster Snapper they pulled off the reef:
Great way to end a banner campaign for the mighty Wanderer!
Now is time for some light maintenance and serious down-time for the hardest working and best fishing crew in Garza: Get some rest Captain William and First Mate Alex…November is right around the corner!
