The Discoverer welcomed the Faro family for a morning half day and despite the quick trip still delivered the fish of a lifetime:

This wonderful Blue Marlin should provide a great fishing memory for the whole family.

Ray Webb followed up with more action on the mega panga on the 29ths, scoring this nice Dorado:

On December 29, Captain Fico delivered the goods for angler Michael Baoley with lots of billfish action backed up by some excellent meat fish.

This small Marlin is likely a juvenile Striped Marlin, but may also be an elusive Hatchet Marlin.

After the Marlin release they nabbed several super Sailfish.

In addition several nice Dorados found their way to the filet bag. What an excellent day of action on the unstoppable Explorer.

Captain Fico welcomed the Charmain Leskosek group on December 28 and found the fish biting early and often.

This Hatchet Marlin was the first catch of the 5 hour trip which was quickly followed by a nice Dorado.

The Explorer capped off the morning trip with a big Sailfish release just before the bell.

Captain Alex delivered the goods for angler Lawrence Goldstein on December 28 with multiple amazing billfish releases.

This big Sailfish catch got the 5-hour trip off to a good start, and shortly after the release this monster Blue Marlin came calling:

Captain Alex was running the boat without a mate on this trip, but he is no stranger to wrangling a big billfish from the cockpit.

Great work on the safe handling and release of these monsters by Captain Alex.

Our new friend Ray Webb scored big on the Harvester, starting with a trio of nice Sailfish releases.

After the clean releases the mega panga scored a bundle of big Dorados.

The Discoverer delivered the fish of a lifetime for angler Neil Sessions with this wonderful Black Marlin release:

Captain Carlos’ masterful boat handling kept this fight short and sweet, while Mate Kevin fearlessly executed the safe release of this monster.

Later on in the trip they scored a sweet Sailfish release backed up by a pair of Dorados for the dinner table.

FishingNosara Hall of Famer Leah Merryfield returned to the Wanderer for a late-December fishin’ mission.

She scored this awesome Dorado which will keep these Texas anglers fed for the holidays.

Great work by Captain William and Mate Johnson to deliver the goods for this great guest.

Craig Sutton Jr. and Daniel Bussey returned to the Adventurer on the 27th and Captain David introduced them to big inshore Dorados.

Awesome work to nabbed this biggies this close to shore. Great work!

Angler Thomas Burton scored a big Dorado with Captain Fico on December 26. Looks like fat filets will be on deck this week!
