Excellent fishing by these Montana-based anglers.

After a furious four month stretch of action, the Explorer in in the shop for maintance and upgrades.
Our boats are on anchor in Garza Bay for 10 months a year, and as such there is constant upkeep to keep the fleet in fighing shape.
The top has been lowered so that the stiches can be re-enforced, especailly around the antenna mounts. Also the storage under the consoles have been reworked and strengthened.
Another clean-up project is the clutter that built up naturally under the splashwell. The livewell pump is now rewired and rerouted to better deliver fresh seawater to the bait fish.
Up front is a new coat of gelcoat on the floor and gunwales. Also the front-facing seats are being re-upholstered with thicker seat foam.
We are always striving to improve our boats and enhance client comfort. The Explorer will return to the water in early March 2021.

Certain anglers want to micromanage their trip (inshore for 1.5 hours, troll for 2hr, cast for 45 minutes, etc.) and a common response is to “take what the ocean gives you.”
Phil Egan learned this lesson from the sea on February 16. Here is his account:
“So, our little 2.5 hour 3-5:30 snorkeling trip turned into quite an experience. Green water and swells over the reef turned the snorkeling into a bust. We then turned offshore to see if we could have the kids spot some dolphins – that was a bust too.”
“After about 45mins searching, the guys then said “how about some fishing”. Um….sure! We ended up snagging 2 sails – so much fun.
“And then with the sun going going down and the guys taking in lines – the last remaining line in the water – port outrigger – blows up. Bring in a beautiful ~40 lb dorado!”
“Can’t wait for the Thursday trip!”

Our great friend Vigil Russell fished with Captain David on February 15 turned in one of the most exciting scorecards we’ve ever seen from the Adventurer.
The 23-foot switchblade fought and leader-released a big Blue Marlin, and throughout the day performed several traditional releases of Sailfish.
They also scored a fantastic Rooster Fish release.
This is a triple-serving of world class trophy releases from the smallest boat in the bay…amazing perfomance from Captain David on a sure-fire Hall of Fame day!

Captain Alex had two-half day bookings on February 15, and scored enough Sailfish to prove that two halves are more than a whole.

With lunch around the corner, these boys nagged a small Dorado. Perfect for three nice sandwiches.

Great work by the mega panga and Sloan Rogers’ group!
