The Explorer finished of the month with a hot streak of great catches. This Marlin scored by Tyler Hawes is clearly the leader of the pack:

Then the barroom brawler started racking up Sailfish releases by the bunches.

It’s wasn’t just trophy releases being scored by the Super panga; Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin also filled up the icebox with Dorado and Yellowfin Tuna:

Also, local diver Gustavo Villalobos Jiménez took a quick ride out of the bay and dove down for a pair of tasty Langostas (lobsters):

Fantastic action from the baddest 26-foot boat in the country!

Captain David is dialed-in on the Discoverer and his clients reaped the rewards this month.

Sailfish releases have been plentiful, headlined by this 200lbs.+ monster:

The big battleship backed that up with several more great releases:

Meat fish have been on the menu for Captain David’s clients, with Yellowfin Tuna ranging from 20lbs. to well over 50lbs.

Most recently Craig scored a sweet Rooster Fish release:

Captain Fico on the 23-foot Adventurer continues to dominate the inshore species with some remarkable catches to close out the month of July.

This Cubera Snapper is a typical catch for the switchblade, despite the coral green waters inshore.

Captain Fico had a big day on July 26 with a wide variety of edibles on ice…this Ponpano is certainly one of the biggest of the year so far for the whole team:

As if the ceviche wasn’t filling enough, this couple also scored a nice Yellowfin Tuna for filets and sushi:

They closed out the day with this 30 lbs. Rooster fish release.

Great performances from the up-and-coming Captain Fico!

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!

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!

“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!
