Brad Smith had a banner day with Captain Fito on the Adventurer. He scored early filets with a Jack Crevalle and a Dorado.
Then in the afternoon caught and released a bucket-list caliber Rooster Fish.
The Adventurer welcomed angler Tyler Patterson for a fun Dorado hunt on November 27.
Captain Wilson and the Harvester welcomed Andrew Snowdon on November 10 and found that the fish were quite cooperative. Yellowfin Tunas and Dorados filled the fishbox:
Later in the trip they moved inshore and scored this MONSTER Cubera Snapper:
After the photo this monster was safely released. What a fish!
Rob Coxey of Jacksonville, FL released this awesome Marlin with the crew of the Explorer on August 19.
Captain Carlos had a brilliant performance on August 16. Check out this wonderful Blue Marlin release:
They also scored a wonderful Rooster Fish release:
They didn’t come home empty-handed thanks to this nice Dorado:
Riley Pelisek joined the Adventurer on the 13th for a fun day of Yellowfin Tuna action.
They also gave a ride to this lazy seabird. Make sure to watch to the end:
Steve Betz caught the fish of a lifetime on August 9. The Discoverer scored this wonderful Rooster Fish release.
“Thank you to Capt. Carlos and his mate David of the Discoverer I finally checked the Rooster fish off my list after many attempts.”
By our count Steve has booked 10 trips over the last few years, with lots of catches but never scoring the elusive Roosterfish.
Congratulations!
On June 5, the Explorer and angler Jay Mays released this excellent Blue Marlin on June 6 with the 27-foot Explorer.
This monster broke the hook after the leader was touched, and in the afternoon a Sailfish was traditionally released.

Legendary Virginia Beach angler Danny Baker finished off his great week of fishing with Captain Fito scoring more billfish releases on the Adventurer.
Danny brought along one of our oldest friend Manual Campos. Just like in the old days, Manuel always catches fish.
