The BIG Yellowfin Tuna are back!
Our new friend Mike Gilbert came our way via CCA Texas and he is rolling deep with a party of 9 people…wonder what he can feed them for the week?
Yeah, that looks like enough filets to keep the family fed.
Great work by the mighty Wanderer!
Our new friend Thomas Caracciolo came down for some fun offshore action and saw nice action on the Discoverer.
After an early Sailfish release, they set themselves up for some nice dinners with Yellowfin Tuna and Dorado filets on ice:
Ricky Jaen’s group had a heck of day with Captain William on the Wanderer with big Sailfish releases backed up with Yellowfin and Dorado.
This Sailfish got the day off to a quick start, then the kids took over for a wave of Yellowfin Tunas.
The variety continued as young Mr. Jaen roped in a respectable sized Dorado.
The trip concluded with another sweet Sailfish release…excellent work by Team Jaen!
Teresa Schilhab scored big Sailfish earlier in the week, and this week filled the filet bags with big Yellowfin Tunas.
Four total fish ranging from 30lbs. to 80lbs. Great work by the flagship!
All boats were deployed on July 7, but as always the Wanderer led the way with several sweet Sailfish releases and lots of Yellowfin Tuna filets for a great family of fishermen.
It’s always a treat to see youngsters get their fishing games started, but with these kind of big pelagics I hope they don’t get spoiled!
The grown-ups got in on the action as well:
The Yellowfin Tuna have established a beachhead a few miles offshore and it will take our Navy a few months to break through their lines.
Until then it’s gonna be big smiles and full fishboxes!
Returning FishingNosara Hall of Famer Morgan Trible celebrated July 4th in style with a tasty Yellowfin on ice:
Sushi anyone?
“Great time had by all, here are some pictures from our 7/2 trip on Wanderer.” writes Jeff Beall.
Check out this monster:
Later on they encountered a school of big Yellowfin Tunas.
Each of the boys tackled a Yella Fella of their own on this trip.
First Mate Alex is always trying new things, and for these big Tunas he likes to vent them of their blood immediately after the catch using a strong rope and a small incision above the tail.
This keeps the boat clean, preserves ice, and most importantly produces a blast of oxygen-rich blood into the spread which attracts more bites.
Great work by this hard-fishing family!
Todd Marr and his family took advantage of a last-minute opening on the Wanderer, scoring big Yellowfin tunas backed up by some sweet Sailfish:
The big Yellowfins are back for the summer and our crews are primed to hop all over them.
Todd hooked up a big high-flying Sailfish later in the trip and this pelagic put on a show for the Marr family:
Excellent fish handling saw to yet another safe billfish release for the mighty Wanderer.
On Father’s Day, The Adventurer celebrated by scoring a full buffet of filets for Jason Sandmaier and his son.
Captain Fico is an expert at nailing multiple species on a single day. Great work by the 23-foot pocket knife.
The mighty Wanderer delivered the goods for Gary Pickel and his family with a MASSIVE Black Marlin release:
This beast hit the hook just after 9am and put up a 30 minute fight leading to a safe release.
After the safe release by First Mate Alex, they scored a nice pair of Sailfish:
Then they backed up the monster billfish with a slew of big Yellowfin Tunas…Captain William knows that you follow the birds and the porpoises to the land of giant Yella Fellas:
Great fish-hunting by Master Captain William and the flagship Wanderer.
