Mike Burling and his posse of Northeast Florida anglers have descended upon Nosara for another epic battle with big blue water billfish.

Their first stop was the super panga Explorer where the dynamic duo of Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin led the way to the blue water battleground.

This small Striped Marlin was the highlight of the day…not the biggest monster by any stretch but this fella still put up a heck of a fight.

They also added a pair of strong Sailfish releases to the scorecard.

Also they didn’t leave the boat empty-handed, thanks to this nice array of Dorado filets on ice.

Great well-rounded action from the unstoppable Explorer.

The dynamic duo of Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin have taken the Explorer to new heights of Extreme Panga fishing. This week clients went toe-to-fin with several bad Sailfish…

…but the Brothers stopped them in heir tracks with safe releases all around.

The Explorer also took advantage of the schools of big Dorado that have come close to shore, and filled their client’s filet bags to the brim.

The Super panga also found success inshore with a fantastic family-style Rooster Fish release:

Man, even the Bonita and Jacks are big right now!

It’s a great time to get down on some Extreme Panga fishing!.

Captain Carlos has continued to shine on the super panga Explorer this month.

On November 11 he led a trip to the inshore fish market for his clients and they filled the shopping cart with Dorado, Wahoo, and Queen Snappers:

Amazing all around catches for the Explorer left these clients with a wide variety of filets for the frigerator.

Jacksonville’s own John ‘Porkchop’ Porcella knocked out a wide variety of sea life on board the Explorer, highlighted by this big Amberjack:

Later in the day they went offshore and roped a Double Sailfish release!

Excellent performance from Captain Carlos and the boat that doesn’t know the meaning of ‘off-season’!

Captain Carlos has the Explorer rocking-and-rolling this ‘off-season’ with another successful trip on October 10.

This Sailfish release was the highlight ofย  the trip. Great release by Mate Kevin to assure we’ll see this beauty again later this season.

They didn’t leave empty handed, either; this tasty Yellowfin Tuna will yields some excellent filets for this growing lad. Nice catch!

At 4:00 this nasty Black Marlin evades capture, skyrockets past the motor, and breaks off the leader.

At 4:10 the Marlin comes up to wave good-bye. Insane!

These Jacksonville anglers for a fun-filled five hour trip on the Explorer…after a pair of early Marlins on the line, they kept at it and their efforts were rewarded with a cooler full of delicious Dorados.

Four big Dodos, a few Bonita, and a small Cierro Mackeral on ice…All in a day’s work from the unbeatable Super panga Explorer!
