The Discoverer is more than a billfish battler; she also has the tools to bring home the bacon:
By ‘bacon’ we mean ‘big Dorado’!
Great catch by the McLaughlin posse who looks to be well-fed this week.

Gary Fiveash and his party had a blast on the Explorer as Captain Carlos helped them tangle with the most broad-shouldered Dorado you’ll ever see:
For heaven’s sake this fish is wider than both the angler and Mate Fico!
They also scored this whopper of a Yellowtail Snapper on a top water plug…a very tasty catch to augment the Mahi.
Great work by Captain Carlos and the strong Super panga.

Incredibly rare catch on the Adventurer today…a swarm of ultra-tasty Queen Snappers have come into the area during the last week and the 23-footer has been all over them.
Usually this time of year we see lots of Red Grouper and Congrio, however this season the Queen Snapper (right) has been a lovely change of pace. Great bottom fishing action from the Adventurer!

The Explorer struck back on May 15 with a fantastic Sailfish release by client Michael Williams. Check out this monster:
Excellent fish handling led to the safe release of this billfish as Captain Carlos notches his scorecard once again!

Blair Wickstrom stayed on the bite on his third day of fishing, scoring this excellent Cubera Snapper aboard the Explorer with Captain Carlos.
Whew! It’s a workout to catch this monster but at least you get 40+ of meat to replenish you strength. Great catch by the Super panga.

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!
