The Discoverer won’t be defeated!

Chris McLaughlin and his group threw down the gauntlet with a gang from Sailfish City, but Captain David and Mate Kevin had their back…Check out these billfish conquests:

Captain David has been a legend in Garza for the last half-decade, and now that he is armed with a battleship there is no escape for these Sailfish hooligans.

Check out this great email from Chris:

Craig,

Getting back to reality really sucks. After arriving back home and climbing into my bed at 2am, only to get up at 5am to get back to the grind made me appreciate my short trip to Nosara even more.

We all had a great time and I have to say you truly run a First Class operation! From arrival to departure, all was seamless; shuttle service, office staff, house crew, and of course the top notch crew of the Discoverer.

I have to tip my hat to Captain David and Mate Kevin. I have fished on many boats all over and would certainly put them up against anyone. Great personable guys who work hard to make your customers happy; catching fish was just a bonus.

I want to thank you again for everything and I hope to be back soon for some more of Jenny’s Mahi Cerviche.

Pura Vida. Chris.

The Komis Psaros group signed up the flagship for three days this month, and on their first day out they scored several nice Yellowfin Tuna to fill the refrigerator.

Top water plugs and spinning rods were the weapons of choice as these fellas put four big Yellas on ice.

Nice work by Captain William and First Mate Alex to bring home the bacon for these great clients.

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!

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.
