Eric Dixon continued his light tackle fishing fiesta on the Discoverer with a nice Sailfish release backed up by some tasty Tunas.
Nice work by the boys on these yummy Yella Fellas!
Once again all of these fish were caught from a dead boat with 20lbs. spinning tackle…awesome!
Eric Dixon found a new way to challenge himself after his blistering tear of Marlin releases…how does fighting Pacific Sailfish on spinning rod with 20lbs. line sound for a challenge?
Mr. Dixon accomplished just that not once, but twice on December 1st on the Discoverer.
Fighting fish like this with ultra-light tackle from a dead-drift takes a light touch and a lot of skill, no doubt developed by Eric in the rivers around his home in Colorado.
Great accomplishment by Eric Dixon and the Discoverer.
After mastering trophy billfish releases on the 28th, Eric Dixon and the big battleship Discoverer turned their attention to the dinner table with several super-sized Yellowfin Tunas on ice.
The Yella Fellas have been thick this month and although none of these top Wayne Estes’ monster from earlier this week, these catches combined make for the biggest total haul of tasty filets we’ve seen so far this season.
They also added another Sailfish release to the scorecard later in the trip:
Great work by Captain Carlos and the unstoppable Eric Dixon.
Eric Dixon continues his dominance of the blue water with a monstrous Marline release reported on November 28 by Captain Carlos on the Discoverer.
Estimated at 250lbs.-300lbs., this beast was safely released by Mate Juan Carlos so we expect to catch her again once she gets even bigger.
Later in the day the Dixon boys pulled of an awesome Double Sailfish release, once again featuring expert fish-handling by Juan Carlos.
Our old pal Eric Dixon is back in Nosara and he scored several Sailfish releases on the first of several days fishing on the Discoverer.
This Colorado-based angler is a hardcore fisherman and we expect great action for him this whole week.
Off to a great start!
The battleship Discoverer broke the ice for the team with the first Marlin release of the season on November 24 with client Delton Hollmann.
Great work by Captain Carlos and Mate Juan Carlos on this beautiful billfish release!
Wayne Estes and Samantha Shaw scored big on their first day of fishing on the Discoverer.
This hard-fightin’ Sailfish was the highlight of the trip:
The Discoverer is back in action and Captain Carlos scored a quartet of fearsome Sailfish for his clients.
Vesa Luomaranta and her group were all smiles after these four trophy fish releases.
Great work by Captain Carlos and Mate Juan Carlos on the battleship!
We love all out clients, but it is a special treat when we can welcome a professional charter captain and his group to our little stretch of blue water paradise.
Marvin Steiding brought the whole crew from his South Florida-based Reel Candy Sportfishing operation for a few days of blue water action on the Discoverer.
After some early success on Sailfish, they brought it inshore and scored big on Rooster fish.
This Pacific species is certainly a fun catch for these Jupiter, FL based pros.
They also added a few Dorados for the dinner table…great action all around for the Reel Candy team!
The Discoverer is still fishing during September while almost every other boat in the country is on the hill…just because fisherman take a break for the rainy season doesn’t mean the fish do.
Ryan Torbert and his posse proved it on September 14 when they scored a pair of Rooster fish releases. The first one was a bit puny, but the second was a very respectable 20+lbs.
Nice work by the battleship!
