Legendary angler Dan Johnson brought his hard-fishing family along for a productive day on the Wanderer.
Captain William set them up for deep-drop bottom fishing, and the flagship scored several big Congrio.
This unusual fish/eel hybrid yields a flakey, lobster-like meat and is very tasty. Also their body allows for them to swim backwards, which makes for a strange fight.
Also these are some of the biggest Congrios we have seen in quite a long time.
Captain Alex and the Harvester delivered the fish of a lifetime on December 8. Legendary angler Dan Johnson was on the stick for this great Blue Marlin release along with Richard Fertig and Erica.
Here is your new phone background:
This wonderous Blue Marlin is an amazing specimen, and as usual was safely handled and released by Mate Wilson.
Fishing legend Dan Johnson is back in action, and on the December 6 he was joined by out Guiones Beach neighbor Marlin Bill for a trip on the Wanderer.
Captain William kept the rods bent all day with FOURTEEN Yellowfin Tuna catches on the scorecard.
The Wanderer is the gold standard of consistency, and of course Dan Johnson knows what to do when the fish come up in the spread.
PS I am guessing that Marlin Bill’s will have Yellowfin Tunas on the menu this week!
Nosara legend Dan Johnson returned to Garza’s blue water on February 26 to kick off a fun week of fishing action.
He hopped on the Explorer and hopped off with a bunch of tasty Yellowfin Tunas.
Dan Johnson had another great day with Captain Fico on December 9.
“My guests were 11-year-old Moises (son to Capitan Fico) and his friend 14-year-old Anthony. They are new captains.”
“Great fishing with Captain Fico. We caught 10 tunas and a 50 pound gaffer Dorado.”
FishingNosara Hall of Famer Dan Johnson returned to the Explorer on December 7 and started quickly with a wonderful Sailfish release.
Then in the afternoon the 27-foot barroom brawler nagged several nice Yellowfin Tunas.
Looks like Dan will have plenty to eat this week:
Legendary Carolina angler Dan Johnson was fishing hard during and after the Ship of Fools tournament, and on the 9th he scored two nice Sailfish on the Explorer.
The Explorer also had Blue marlins in the spread but wouldn’t bite, and later nabbed two Groupers and other bottom fish.
“Great day with the fishing team always. Thank you. Dan Johnson”
On March 1, multi-time Hall of Famer Dan Johnson joined the Wanderer and scored a Sailfish release and a Striped Marlin release.
Mr. Johnson has been fishing here for years, and even for an angler of his caliber this is an excellent day of action.
Fantastic work by the mighty flagship!
On February 1 our pal Dan Johnson joined Captain Fico and the Explorer for a fun day offshore.
They released two Sailfish, with one of them jumping off close to the boat. Dan also scored this nice big gaffer Dorado:
Great work by the barroom brawler Explorer!
On January 28, FishingNosara Hall of Famer Dan Johnson took local friend Alexander the Coconut Man (Gato) for his first trip offshore on the Explorer.
They released three Sailfish, and caught two nice grande Dorados.
Fun time on the Explorer with Capitan Fico And Marinero Johnny (of the Wanderer, filling in at the Mate position)
