Our new friend Ruth Fricke brought her family out for a nice day of fishing on the Wanderer and managed to score some filets for the dinner table. The highlights of a busy day of action were this tasty White tuna and a nice Jack Crevelle.
Lots of fun for these folks on their day fishing on the flagship.
Rich Binnell and his son had a day of big smiles and fun action on the 23 foot Adventurer with Captain Carlos. The fish were gigantic by any stretch, but the small Snappers and White tunas taste just as good as the big ones!
Looks like the lack of big fish didn’t diminish the smiles on board the Adventurer!
All told we got happy clients and fish in the box as the Adventurer delivers a fun, safe, educational family fishing trip.
Glen Sutherland booked the Adventurer for a half-day excursion and the little 23-foot panga put Glen on top of big fish! Dorado was the most popular item on the menu and the lethal weapon hauled in several nice fish. Here is the biggest one:
They also caught a handful of Bonitas; not worth keeping but still nice to have the rods bend throughout the trip.
Our old pal Henry Doggrell joined client Richard Belgaske for an afternoon half day on the Wanderer and scored big. For a warm up Henry boated this White Tuna, which is eerily similar to his day with us back in 2011:

The left the reminiscing for later because 1pm means one thing in these waters: Sailfish Time!
This beauty fought Henry for about 20 minutes before being safely de-hooked and released. Great fishing from one of our favorite clients.
Bruno Reber and his posse had a nice little sunset fishing trip on the Wanderer and brought home dinner in the form of this nice White Tuna.
Either sushi or steaks the White Tuna is always a welcome treat. MMMMmmmm good!
Jeff Lamark and his family hauled in a half-dozen Dorados on the Wanderer and had a whale of a fun time doing it! Check out this celebratory horseplay:
Things got more serious once the Misses got on the reel, and her and the boys finished off the trip by harvesting some tasty White Tunas.
Greg Watson and his daughter joined Captain Carlos on the Adventurer for an fridge-packing harvest of tasty fish. The Dorados swarmed the 23-foot pocket knife and Carlos put these Canadians in the heart of the fight.
It’s great to see shared fishing experiences between parents and their kids, and from the looks of these pics this will be a fishing memory that lasts a lifetime for the Watsons.
They added a nice White Tuna to the Dorado haul and called it a day. Another outstanding trip from the sneaky Adventurer.
The Super panga strikes again! Gary Cook and his lady on the Explorer for a nice half day hunt and came back with a variety of tasty table fare.
First up with this White Tuna which isn’t a scale-tipper by any stretch but still yields delectable sushi meat that is truly world class. Later in the trip the big Dorados swarmed the Super Panga and this group nailed a pair of big greenies:
The unstoppable Explorer is back on the water and that spells trouble for all the fish on our inshore reefs. Captain David and Mate Carlos welcomed Scott’s group for a great day inshore with a wide variety of filets showing up in the fishbox.
They started with a few hard-fightin’ Jack Crevalles, then buried the hook into this tasty White Tuna:
There are few fish in this area that can rival the White Tuna when it comes to great sushi, but the Cierro Mackerel is one of those rare delicacies.
Scott’s group finished off the day with a fantastic Cierro, charmed aboard no doubt by Mate Carlos donning the newly-discovered lucky fishing wig. Great addition to the tackle arsenal, Scott!
Adam Peacock brought the whole family along for a fish-filled trip on the mighty Wanderer. Citing the short 2.5hr timeframe and some tough offshore conditions, Captain William chose to keep the flagship inside on the very fruitful reefs at Pincha Padre.
This young lady scored first with a nice-sized Wahoo in the fishbox. Shortly thereafter came this little White Tuna which is every bit as tasty as it looks.
The highlight of the morning was this gigantic Amberjack which weighs at least 30lbs. This was Mrs. Peacock’s fish from the strike to the fight to the fishbox…you go girl!
Once again the Wanderer delivers a safe, fun fishing adventure for the whole family.
