Lauren Frederick’s group finished out their 3-day fishing campaign with another fun day of offshore action.












They nagged several Sailfish releases, then added a nice Yellowfin Tuns for their end-of-trip dinner. Most importanly, they have a bunch of great fishing memories to last a lifetime.








Captain Fico welcomed Lauren Frederick and her friends for a fun day of billfish battles on January 29.






After a pair of nice Sailfish releses, they cooled off with a dip into the Pacific blue water.

Great work by the Explorer.
Captain Fico posted a banner day with Lauren Frederick’s group on the 27th. An early Sailfish release was a great way to start the trip.





Throughout the day swarms of Yellowfin Tunas came running through the spread, and the super panga was ready to catch them.








The kept five big Yellowfin Tunas ranging from 30lbs. – 40lbs.












Captain Fico delivered the goods for anglers Wendy Oberg and Richard Wenk on the 22nd. They started out with an inauspicious first catch as this bird stole a bait from behind the boat.

After the bird was sefely released, these anglers scored a tasty Yellowfin Tuna for the dinner table.




Then the Explorer moved inshore and captured this lovely Rooster Fish.










Safe released as always. Great work by these Wisconsin-based anglers on a short 5hr. trip.
Everyone know the the Hernández family is synonomous with FishingNosara. That’s why is was a great honor to welcome Maria Montiel Hernández for a fun fishing vactaion in late January.


Over on the Explorer, Maria nabbed a nice Yellowfin Tuna.

She also had fun at the River Mouth as Javier aka Maria’s cousin aka Rey Robalo brought two more Snooks under his domain.





Looking good!
The bottom fishing has been on fire in mid-January; the Explorer boated a big Congrio and a bucket-full of small Red Groupers.



The Explorer welcomed Sharon Peach for an afternoon 5hr trip on January 7. They caught lots of fish and a beautiful sunset.




These Sailfish release photos capture a great time for Team Peach, while these Yellowfin Tunas will keep the group full.



Dave Freeman went offshore on the 5th onboard the Explorer. Captain Fico is pleased to report a nice Sailfish release backed up by some nice Dorado filets on ice.



Captain Fico scored big on December 28th.





These big Dorados are a welcome surprise, and hopefully a sign of things to come.
