Our new pal Tracy Anderson just finished up three back-to-back days of inshore action with a wide variety of tasty filets on ice.
The Adventurer hasn’t skipped a beat with Captain Fico at the helm, as proved by this nice Cubera Snapper.
Tracy followed up with a few smaller Snappers:
Plus a Yellowfin Tuna and a Yellowtail Snapper…that’s a grand a haul!
Gary Fiveash and his party had a blast on the Explorer as Captain Carlos helped them tangle with the most broad-shouldered Dorado you’ll ever see:
For heaven’s sake this fish is wider than both the angler and Mate Fico!
They also scored this whopper of a Yellowtail Snapper on a top water plug…a very tasty catch to augment the Mahi.
Great work by Captain Carlos and the strong Super panga.
Another outstanding inshore performance by the Adventurer on May 14. This couple scored a big Dorado and a nice Yellowtail Snapper.
Looks like we need a bigger icebox on the Adventurer if this kind of action keeps up!
Michael Williams enlisted the plucky Adventurer for an inshore harvest and was rewarded with a wide variety of table fare.
This well-rounded haul included Dorado, Cubera Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, and the ultra-elusive Queen Snapper.
When you invest a full-day into Extreme Panga fishing, this is the kind of production you can expect. Great work by Mate Fico in keeping the pedal to the metal all day long!
With the big Captain’s shuffle going on around the team, don’t forget that the 23-foot pocket knife Adventurer will now be the proving platform for our up-and-coming Mates to proves their prowess.
Check out these nice Snappers pulled off the bottom with Mate Fico at the tiller of the Adventurer:
Great work!
Jon Athan and his friends had a lovely 2.5 hour sunset cruise on the Wanderer on March 11.
In addition to the lovely scenery, they also scored a nice-sized Yellowtail Snapper. Pound-for-pound this is some of the best tasting fish in our area…great work by these young anglers.
Graham Mehain and his group stayed inshore for their trip on the Wanderer and were rewarded with a healthy bounty of great tasting filets. This Yellowtail is certainly the highlight of their haul:
They then followed up with a beefy Jack Crevelle.
The ladies set the bar pretty high, but Graham made a good account of himself with this day-ending Dorado.
Excellent inshore hunting by the mighty flagship.
Jenny Hernandez’ group hit the water on the Adventurer and scored big on two lovely-tasting fish. First up with this 35lbs. Dorado, a real treat this close the shore.
Then they followed up with a jaw-dropping Yellowtail. Look at the beauitful markings on this tasty morsel.
Great job by the fish catching machine Captain Carlos!
Justin Morris and his girl hit on four different species of tasty fish with Captain Carlos on the Adventurer.
This beefy Dorado was the first catch of the day, but by no means was the biggest…get a load of this 30lbs. Cubera Snapper:
They rounded out the day with a perfect-for-sushi Yellowfin Tuna and the elusive Yellowtail Snapper. Both of these fish add a fantastic variety to the dinner table.
Great work by Captain Carlos and the excellent 23-foot Adventurer.
Doc Hatton and the posse are back on the Wanderer and were welcomed with improved weather and a gaggle of hungry fish.
The battleground was less than a mile from Garza point and the Wanderer defended her home turf by building up a classic feeding frenzy. The first catch was a juvinile Yellowtail Snapper, followed up by a medium-sized Nurse Shark.
An inauspicious start indeed, however this is the first phase of stirring up a bottom fish bite. Sure enough the action coaxed some big fish up from their seafloor hiding spots.
This Broomtail Grouper is a real monster! Right behind it was another nice-sized bottom dweller:
The bite stayed strong and a group of Jack Crevelle swung by to investigate the fishy waters.
The final jewel in the Wanderer‘s bottom fishing crown was this nice Rooster fish.
We release this species, but with the massive Snapper and Grouper catches from earlier it is safe to say that Doc Hatton and his group will be well-stocked with filets this week.
