Justin Dorsk performed brilliantly on the afternoon of January 18. Check out this email he sent us the next day: “We had a great day fishing on Saturday on the Explorer. The guys put us on some great fish.”
“We caught 3 sail fish and 1 Mahi. 2 other mahi spit out the hook, but we got to see them jump.”
“The dolphin pods we saw were amazing. Thanks for a great excursion.”

The hot fishing in January continued as Captain Fico nagged this nice Sailfish release on the 17th.
The Explorer posted a very contradictory scorecard on January 16; on one hand they caught two memorable fish but on the other hand both had to be released.
We’ve put a self-imposed restriction on these big Cubera Snappers. When they are this big we chose to release them for the health of the fishery.
Big or small, we want nothing to do with this Shark:
Still a great day of rod-bending fun on the barroom brawler Explorer.
Steve Mears and the Explorer nabbed this sweet Double Sailfish release to start out 2020.
Great day of family fishing on the 30th; check out this father/son duo with some big ole’ Dorados.
The Explorer and angler Sean Taylor battled a big blue Marlin on the 27th, and this monster put on a show above and below the water.
Amazing work by Captain Fico to wrangle this monster in for a safe release.
Our buddy Steve Mears kicked off his fishing vacation with a productive day on the Explorer.
Captain Fico reports a super Sailfish release backed up by a nice big Dorado.
On December 15 angler Matt Finn performed brilliantly with several fat Yella Fells on ice.
The Explorer posted the trip of the season so far on December 14 with Jim Becker and FishingNosara Northeast Representative Mark Cooney each nagging a Marlin release.
Mark’s fish was a great catch, but Mr. Becker’s Blue Marlin is truly the highlight of the day.
The Explorer is always a good bet for a suprise fish, and this monster Wahoo fits the bill.
This fish is quite abundant, but this catch is surprising because the sharp teeth of the Wahoo tends to overwhelm our all-mono blue water rigs.
The barroom brawler also nagged the more predictable haul of Yellowfin Tunas.
