Our good friend Lynn Tebbenkamp had a rollicking good time on the Wanderer as Captain William scored a big Yellowfin Tuna offshore.
This is a rare catch for this early in the year, and is hopefully a sign of more big Yella Fellas to come.
They also released a beautiful Sailfish to round out the day.
Jackie Powell’s final trip of the week was by far the best, with Captain Alex reporting lots of big Sailfish releases.
The bite was so white-hot that they could hardly keep a bait in the water.
After all the safe releases, the group nabbed some end-of-week filets from this nice sized Yellowfin Tuna.
Great work by these fun-loving anglers!
Returning Hall of Famer Dennis Seltsam and his lovely wife Debbie had a nice bit of action on the Harvester with Captain Alex reporting several nice football-sized Yellowfin Tuna.
They also scored a late-day Sailfish to round out the trip.
Ed Brennan and George Foster had a nice half day on the Wanderer with a few Sailfish releases backed up by tasty Yellowfin Tunas.
Great work by the mighty Wanderer!
Captain William stayed on the Yellowfin Tuna bite by following spinning porpoises out to the feeding ground.
Like clockwork the blue beauty boated another sweet Yellowfin Tuna.
Shawn Binn brought the whole family along for a full day trip on the Wanderer and they had great results on Yellowfin Tuna.
The kids got in on the action and kept piling the fishbox with fresh Yella Fella filets.
It’s always great to see youngsters bringing home the bacon!
Returning angler David Svec knocked out several Sailfish on a full day of action.
Each guy got several shots at Sailfish, with six successful releases on the day.
They also nabbed some big Yellowfin Tuna for the dinner table.
Rich Lippo and his posse capitalized on the nearby blue water with lots of Sailfish releases scored just a few miles from shore:
Captain William kept them on the action all day long with six Sailfish releases on the scorecard.
Great work by Mate Johnson to release these beasties.
The action peaked with a double hookup around mid-day:
Later in the day they also brought home dinner in the form of these big Yellowfin Tunas:
Hendrik and Maria Engel continued their annual Christmas fishing fiesta with a legendary performance on the mighty Wanderer.
After three years of knocking out Pacific Sailfish, young Ms. Engel finally scored the true fish-of-a-lifetime with this gargantuan Blue Marlin:
Fantastic work by Captain William to deliver this, his third Marlin release of the week.
Later in the day Hendrik brought home dinner for the family in the form of this big Yellowfin Tuna.
After several days of consistent action, Captain William and the Wanderer earned their spot on the ‘Nice’ list, and Santa filled their stockings with an extremely productive day of off-shore action.
Client John Gaviotis and his group scored a quartet of Sailfish releases early in the day, all safe released by Mate Johnson.
All these trophy releases worked up quite an appetite for the crew, so Captain William followed the porpoises to the Yellowfin Tuna feeding grounds.
Looks like Christmas filets all around for John Gaviotis and the crew of the Wanderer!
