The Explorer has cemented a reputation as a true catch-all vessel; in late July the barroom brawler scored every major type and species of fish in our stretch of water.

As usual the Pacific Sailfish have been thick and Captain Fico has been there to capitalize.

Also offshore the Super Panga found some excellent Yellowfin Tuna.

The action was hot inshore as well, with Amberjack and big Cubera Snappers on ice plus lots of beautiful Rooster fish releases:

Adrian Paredes and his group had a big day with Captain William reporting seven Sailfish release on their July 13 trip.

Nice work by Mate Johnson to keep these fights short and sweet leading to safe releases.

Check out this high-flyer:

Big fish above the water means big smiles on board!

Later on they moved inshore and nabbed two swole Cubera Snapper:

“Great day on the water. Dreams came true on our trip to Nosara.” wrote Adrian in and email. ย “Thank you Captain William and mate Johnny for putting us on 7 beautiful sailfish and two tasty cubera snapper. I can’t wait to go back!”

Phillip Jones bought the heat with Captain Alex on the Harvester on July 13.

The big Pacific Sailfish were hungry and hard charging early in the day.

Mate Kevin did get to bill these monsters safely and quickly, ensuring all safe releases.

Looks like they caught nearly a dozen big billfish on this trip!

The last one of the day was arguable the highest-flyer…look at this dance this one put on for the crew:

The barroom brawler Explorer closed out the month with a wide variety of great action with clients Britta and Sam Gramer .

Very energetic Sailfish release by this young angler, but the Explorer also mopped up inshore, including this big old Amberjack:

This pair of Rooster Fish releases are certainly bucket-list worthy:

Plus the Super Panga filled the fridgerator with this beefy Cubera Snapper on ice:

The Discoverer welcomed back returning client Paul Worthington for a nice day of Yellowfin Tuna conquering. Check out this beastie:

Later in the trip Donna Bowler caught 40lb Dorado pictured with her husband Steve.

Then Paul finished off the trip with a 250lb Blue Marlin.

Fantastic job by Captain Carlos on the big battleship!
