Another outstanding inshore performance by the Adventurer on May 14. This couple scored a big Dorado and a nice Yellowtail Snapper.
Looks like we need a bigger icebox on the Adventurer if this kind of action keeps up!

Our old pal Jay Thompson has been fishing on the Explorer since the inception of Super panga fishing, but on March 13 he let his visiting brother-in-law handle the fish catching duties. Captain Carlos took the Explorer offshore and found an amazing Sailfish.
Mate Fico had no problem handling this beast.
Later they added this small Broomtail Grouper to the fishbox. Excellent filets to go with the trophy release.

The Adventurer continues to amaze as Mate Fico has really applied himself to maintain the high standards set on the 23-foot pocket knife.
Check out this big Wahoo, estimated at 35+lbs.:
That was the highlight of a trip that also included small Tunas and Dorados…a nice way to round out the shopping cart.

Now there is no way to top a quadruple Marlin day, so the dynamic duo of Chris Escabedo and Will Havens decided to focus on the refrigerator on their May 10 trip.
The highlight of their haul with this fat 20lbs. Cubera Snapper, plus they backed it up with a handful of small Jacks and small Tuna.
The Discoverer beats the heat with a icebox full of meat!

Michael Williams enlisted the plucky Adventurer for an inshore harvest and was rewarded with a wide variety of table fare.
This well-rounded haul included Dorado, Cubera Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, and the ultra-elusive Queen Snapper.
When you invest a full-day into Extreme Panga fishing, this is the kind of production you can expect. Great work by Mate Fico in keeping the pedal to the metal all day long!

Joe Connell and Nan Dalton have fished each of the last 5 days, and on their final fishing excursion Captain Carlos and the legendary Explorer roped this excellent Sailfish.
Great work for just a half-day trip by the Super panga. Joe and Nan are truly hardcore anglers and their collective performance this week has been stellar.

Jim Dodich is a returning Hall of Famer and along with his buddy they snared an enshrinement-level Cubera Snapper with Captain Carlos on the legendary Explorer.
This is a serious fish…it takes serious muscle and a mean mug to haul in a fish like this.
Great work Captain Carlos!

More Marlin action was in store for Nan Dalton on May 10.
The Wanderer battles tall seas and a big blue Marlin all at once.
About one tenth of a second after this photo (below) the Marlin broke the snap swivel in half and escaped…not an ideal result but in the world of fighting monster fish, the fish sometimes win.
This is a fish-catching couple and we know that these Florida anglers will be back on the bite tomorrow.

May 9 was a legendary day for the FishingNosara team with EIGHT Marlin releases by the fleet. Leading the way was the battleship Discoverer who posted a magnificent FOUR Marlin releases.
Chris Escabedo and Will Havens were the anglers for this performance which is clearly a no-brainer Hall of Fame induction.
Captain David deserves all the credit in the world for this successful day on the water. He didn’t quite match his prior one-day record (and team record) of six Marlin releases, but I don’t think anyone is frowning over this quartet of relases.
After three Black Marlins were released, the last Marlin of the day with this feisty Striped Marlin:
Excellent work as well by Mate Kevin to safely release all of these beasts so that we can go catch them again really soon!

Joe Connell and Nan Dalton returned to the Wanderer and managed to match their landmark performance from yesterday with ANOTHER pair of Marlin releases.
Mr. Connell was the man of the hour with the first fish released at Noon after a 40-minute battle.
Another bad Black Marlin came calling around 1:45 and Joe released this one after a very efficient 20-minute fight.
To say the Wanderer is white-hot is an understatement…Captain William and First Mate Alex have ascended to unknown heights with their performance this week!
