“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.

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.

Angler Sterling Johnson enjoyed an excellent day of Yellowfin Tuna action on June 16.

These big Yella Fellas are starting to arrive to our area and the are feeding hard on bait schools.

Needless to say we are all over this invasion of Yellow Submarines.

The Discoverer also scored a Sailfish to round out the scorecard. Great day from the battleship.

Richard Moran and his family kept their hot streak going on the Explorer with a great variety of filets in the fishbox.

Richard scored this delicious Yellowfin Tuna to go along with this massive Wahoo:

The rounded out the buffet with a small Dorado and a big Yellowtail:

Great work by the barroom brawler!

The big boats were busy so Team Vincent chose the 23-foot Adventurer for some inshore action on June 11.

Their day broke with a big surprise…in nice Pacific Sailfish had wandered in less than 3 miles from shore.

“Some offshore fish crashed our inshore party,” Patrick reports. “We went 1 for 5 on sailfish, then scored two small yellowfin tuna, a mahi, 3 bonitos, a cubera snapper, a mullet snapper, and a jack.”

“Nice day on a small inshore boat.”

Mark Perdue joined the barroom brawler for two full days of fishing and they scored big with Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin.

“The first day we went out, we had a double hookup with Carlos and Kevin in the Explorer in the first 20 minutes.”

“Then we found an old dilapidated net about 12 miles out and caught a couple of 80lb Dorado and as many smaller ones we could catch.”

“Plus many small yellowfin tuna.  Caught fish around the net on almost every cast with spinning gear.”
