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. ย Caught fish around the net on almost every cast with spinning gear.”

Client Leonard Robinson of Utah joined the Explorer for his second time offshore on May 31 and scored a sweet Sailfish release. Safe released as always by Mate Kevin.

 

They also scored a handful of Yellowfin Tuna which yielded tasty dense filets.

Later on the beach they discovered a wayward handline rig; this staple of Costa Rican shore fishing is devestaingly simple and features a modern twist with a DOA Jighead.

“I had the experience of a lifetime thanks to the crew of the Explorer.” Leonard wrote in an email. “I will be a return customer!!! Pura Vida.”

The brother combo of Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin makes fishing on the Explorer a family affair, so what better place to bring the kids for an introduction to blue water fishing.

Decked out in her new FishingNosara hat, this little angler scored a big Sailfish with the super panga.

They released a few more Sails throughout this very memorable day on the water.

Client Tony King rolled into town and fished his very first afternoon on board the barroom brawler, and sure enough he picked a fight with the biggest mofo in the place!

What a great Marlin!

Clearly Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin are dialed-in and their amazing scorecards are proving the point.

Safe released so we can expect to fight this monster again really soon!

The Explorer welcomed some great clients for the first of several days of extreme panga fishing.

They wasted little time introducing themselves to the local Sailfish population.

Great hunting by Captain Carlos paired with safe fish-handling by Mate Kevin made for the perfect day of fishing on the Explorer!

The Explorer closed out the month on a strong run of Sailfish releases.

The more trips that Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin run, the more they mark-up the scorecard with Sailfish releases.

Clearly these guys are sharpening their skills to a razor’s edge.

There was also lots of other species to brag about on the Super Panga. Check out these beastly Rooster fish releases:

Captain Carlos also reports a good array of Dorado and Amberjack.
