Captain Fico is on a rampage and the inshore morsels are paying the price!
Our good friend Bert Goeree visited all the way from the Netherlands for a whirlwind week of inshore action, and they scored a wide variety of species.
This beautiful Queen Snapper (above) got the week off to a good start, then they closed the week with this beefy Snapper:
Great work by Captain Fico and the Adventurer!
Craig scored the biggest Yellowfin Tuna of the season so far on board the Discoverer.
Neither Craig, Mate Juan Carlos, or Captain David could pick these monsters up off the deck.
Great to see the Yella Submarines are back in the area!
The brother combo of Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin makes fishing on the Explorer a family affair, so what better place to bring the kids for an introduction to blue water fishing.
Decked out in her new FishingNosara hat, this little angler scored a big Sailfish with the super panga.
They released a few more Sails throughout this very memorable day on the water.
Client Tony King rolled into town and fished his very first afternoon on board the barroom brawler, and sure enough he picked a fight with the biggest mofo in the place!
What a great Marlin!
Clearly Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin are dialed-in and their amazing scorecards are proving the point.
Safe released so we can expect to fight this monster again really soon!
Captain Fico never lets clients leave empty-handed…the action was slow on May 14 but the Adventurer still scored some small Dorados.
They may not look like much in these pictures, but trust me they look fine once grilled and drizzled with butter, garlic, and lime!
The Explorer has continued her hot streak during mid-May with a run of Hall of Fame worthy performance. First Captain Carlos scored this ridiculous Dorado with client Gary Fiveash:
Then they backed it up with a nice pair of Sailfish releases:
I love seeing the big Dorado tail jutting out of the fishbox…even Igloo doesn’t make coolers big enough for that Mahi!
Our old buddy Jay Thompson returned for another crack at the inshore reefs and he scored a nice trio of big Snappers.
Captain Fico always finds the fish for his clients.
The Discoverer found excellent action on May 12 with Georgia angler Glenn Schatzel.
In addition to three Yellow fin tunas they also scored two Sailfish releases.
Bob Carton put the finishing touch on a great week of fishing with a run of nice Sailfish releases.
The Wanderer also scored an excellent pair of Dorados for the dinner table.
Talk about a great end-of-week feast!
Captain Fico didn’t have to take the 23-foot Adventurer far in order to score a whopper of a Wahoo.
It’s great to see young anglers besting big fish…great work by the Adventurer.
