Trey Hardy started his week with a world-beating Marlin release, but on day two the fish weren’t as cooperative as they had to settle for a handful of Bonitas and White Tunas.
Still you got to appreciate the big smiles and fun that comes along with with catching fish regardless of size.
Eric Weissman and his friend Zev enjoyed great action with Captain David on a pair of trips in mid-February.
After their first trip delivered catches of Pompano and White Tunas, the returned on the 20th to score tasty Yellowfin Tunas:
Great fishing and pictures by Eric Weissman!
The Adventerer scored a wonderful quartet of fish on the 19th with client Ann Viitala.
White Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Jack Crevelle, and this big Pompano…now that’s a haul!
Our good friend Scott Hed had a big day on the Adventurer with a Jack Crevelle, White Tuna, and Yellowfin Tuna on the scorecard.
Captain David is on fire this month and shows no signs of letting up…bad news for the fish!
Nice action by Captain Fico on the Explorer. Check out this great big Pompano backed up by a nice Tuna.
Mario Hoffman’s group scored big inshore fish with the Explorer on February 11th and 13th.
Early scores of meat fish were welcome in the fishbox, and these Rooster Fish releases were also a thrill:
Also they nabbed one of the larger Rock Snappers that we have seen in a long time:
Great work by Captain Fico on the Explorer!
Captain David welcomed some new friends from the nation of France for an action-packed five day campaign on the Adventurer.
It’s definitely a good sign to see these Yellowfin Tuna this close to shore.
Stephane Venant, Tim Capsek, and Camille Chombart we prepared for inshore battle; take a look at Stephane’s traveling arsenal:
Clearly the fish weren’t prepared for these hard-fighting Frenchmen!
Big Snappers were also lurking on the reefs, and they were no match for Stephane:
The week ended on a high note with this excellent Rooster Fish release…they had been looking for an elusive pez gallo all week and finally scored on the last day of fishing:
The advantage if fishing five times a week is that Captain David can apply one day’s success to the next trip. He took Antonio Cantillo to the same spot he’s been working all week and once again scored:
The highlight was this big Amberjack, which was backed up by a big Jack Crevelle and a small White Tuna.
The next day Captain David and Paul Fontaine found this manhole-cover sized Pompano…can you say ‘ceviche’?
Captain David reported four White Tunas ranging between 8lbs. and 12lbs. each on his January 25 trip with Mr. and Mrs. George Brayfield.
This filets are very tasty and a favorite for sushi in particular.
Captain David welcomed client Jacob Quellman for a productive half day inshore which yielded this excellent White Tuna:
We almost never see this uncommon Tuna species grow so large, and the meat will produce excellent ceviche.
