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.
The Discoverer welcomed a great family from Denmark for a great day of catches on July 3, led off by this sweet Marlin release:
After this monster release, Mrs. Korsgaard scored a sweet Sailfish release:
Captain Carlos brought the show inshore where they kept filling the trophy case. Check out these super Rooster Fish releases:
As a parting shot, Jan and his family snatched up a few Tunas for the dinner table. That’s how you round out a day on the water!
Family fun on the Wanderer as John Kwekkeboom brought the whole clan for a fun afternoon of inshore action.
The Penn Slammers were deployed on a wide variety of near-shore species like White Tuna and Jack Crevelle.
Big smiles and big fun on the flagship!
The best thing about fishing in close blue water:
1.) Catching fish:
2.) Taking a nap at sea:
Nice work by this little angler and the Explorer.
Rip Woodin had an excellent pair of trips to close out the month for the Discoverer.
The Sailfish are thick these days and Captain David capitalized with four Sailfish releases.
Among the bycatch was a tasty White Tuna.
Always nice to add some meat to the trophy releases.
Captain Fico scored again for his clients on March 11, with a handful of White Tunas on ice. These little morsels yield a dense white meat that is perfect for sushi, filets, and ceviche.
Captain Carlos on the super panga Explorer have been on fire this month with lots of Sailfish action leading off the scorecard.
They started the month with an awesome Double Sailfish release. Great work by Mate Kevin to handle this fight and get these fish properly de-hooked and swimming free.
This double release was a sign of things to come…February has brought huge numbers of Sailfish releases for the super panga’s clients.
The filet bags stayed full this month also…check out the size on this Tuna:
Of course plenty of Dorado were harvested by the Explorer.
Great work by the dynamic duo of Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin!
Captain David on the Discoverer has been on a tear all month. Along with trusty Mate Juan Carlos the new battleship has scored victories on a wide array of Marlin and Sailfish. plus added lots of good eating fish for the filet bag.
This Marlin was a feisty fighter, clean released as usual by Mate Juan Carlos. The Sailfish have been coming into the spread in droves and Captain David has capitalized big time.
Finally, check out the girth on these Dorados and the numbers of these Tunas:
Great work by Captain David!
