Tony Loff and his son enlisted the Explorer for a great day of offshore blue water action on March 30.

We got this nice email from Tony after the trip:

“Here are a few pics of the fish we caught with Fico and Johny. Those guys were awesome. They probably told you but we caught 2 sails, 2 mahi, and had 1 blue marlin and 2 sails chase the teasers to the boat.”

 

“Unfortunately they did not hit the throw back bait. We also lost 2 mahi. On a final note, the lunch was excellent. Thanks for the good time.”

Kathy and Steve Cartier finished off their record-setting week of fishing with a sweet Double Sailfish release on March 28.

After the tricky Double release, the big battleship also delivered a couple more Sailfish catches.

The send off for Team Cartier was this excellent Dorado; perfect for the end of week dinner!

Our new pal Chuck Boyer took a day off from his retreat over at Blue Spirit to pursue Blue Marlin, and the barroom brawler Explorer delivered the goods. Check out this beast:

They followed up with multiple nice Sailfish releases:

Amazing day of fishing — Fico & Johnny took great care of me! I really appreciate their patience w/ my limited spanish, but we made it work. My only regret was not being able to take a couple lovely Mahi filets into Nosara for a nice dinner.

Thanx to the Fishing Nosara Team for an awesome experience!
Chuck

(That’s “Senor Carlos” to Fico & Johnny)

All honest true praise!

My thanks also to Matt, Javier, & Yoseth for taking care of my local logistics. It’s those seemingly little tasks that can also make or break how a day kicks off.
You’ve got a top notch local family!

Pura Vida

The Harvester and angler John Baumgart scored the first big haul of the season for Yellowfin Tuna.

We have scored scattered Yellowfins this year, but not this big or numerous.

This is a great sign of the second high season which is right around the corner.

The last fish of the day was also the last fish ever for this rod which snapped off under pressure…that’s what happens when you battle the world’s baddest fish!

However the fish didn’t fare much better than the rod:
