Captain Carlos and his brother Mate Kevin are using the Explorer to make a statement to the rest of the fishing community: You don’t need a big boat to catch big fish!
Check out this pair of awesome Sailfish releases:
Great safe releases by Mate Kevin underscored the professional excellence of this fraternal fishing team. Great work by the Explorer!
Doc Hatton and the boys stayed inshore today to hunt for the elusive Rooster Fish, and Captain William found the little cluckers and set the hooks to them.
The Penn Slammer drag creates an unfair advantage for the anglers against this kind of fish, and First Mate Alex had no trouble live releasing these Roosters.
Another day, another couple of bucket-list fish for the mighty Wanderer.
Doc Hatton and the boys put a whipping on some fat Dorados with Captain William on the Wanderer.
This brightly-colored fishing team from New Jersey got on the fish early and stayed strong all day long.
Later in the trip they discovered a school of nice Yellowfin Tuna between 25lbs.-40lbs.
Another day, another full filet bag from the mighty Wanderer.
Captain Scott Brownlee and his buddy Gene DiBetta took a whirlwind trip to Nosara where they fished three trips in three days…that’s Florida anglers for ya!
The Discoverer reports lots of great catches for this duo.
What’s even better is that these guys planned this trip four days before they arrived…when the fishing itch hits, you gotta scratch!
The Wanderer stayed close to shore on January 7 as client Randy Covey only had to travel 6 miles to score several Dorados and Sailfish.
Randy scored the first release at the beginning of the full day trip, breaking the ice for what would become a three Sailfish day.
This late day Dorado put the finishing touch on a great day on the water.
The Wanderer stayed inshore on January 7 and scored this mammoth Rooster Fish.
Great fish handling by First Mate Alex to see this beauty safely released.
Randy Covey got some super Sailfish action on his first of three days fishing with the Wanderer.
Always great to break the billfish ice early on, and this pair of releases does the trick.
Jon Calderaro and his friends signed up for an afternoon half day with Captain William and they got a ton of fishing crammed into their 5 hour trip.
The ladies led off with a pair of nice Sailfish releases plus they snagged this little Bonita:
The boys answered the girls’ challenge with a Double Sailfish release:
Notice how the angler on the port side is still fighting his fish during the photo and release. Handling multiple fish and multiple fights simultaneously is what really separates First Mate Alex as a master of billfishing.
When you get such good action late in the day, it is tempting to squeeze all you can out of the daylight, and when you have a full moon rising you can push it even further.
The Discoverer has kept cooking with gas in the New Year with a fantastic run on Sailfish.
Captain David and Mate Juan Carlos have found their billfishing rhythm and are posting double-digit release numbers.
Also they have scored some excellent meat fish, from the usual Dorado to the rare-for-this-time-of-year Yellowfin Tuna:
Great work by the battleship!
Great day for Captain William and the flagship Wanderer with three Sailfish releases in the books along with a nice Dorado on ice.
Sweet Sail little man!
Safe releases for the billfish by First Mate Alex. Great work by the big blue beauty!
