They also nabbed some Yellowfin Tunas for variety:
Of course the barroom brawler also battled a pair of Sailfish; both safe released as always.
We always encourage folks to fish for full eight-hour days to maximize the chance of catching, but sometime people like Ben Merkley stick with the 5 hour half day and make fools of us all.
Captain Antonio and Mate Raffa scored an awesome Blue Marlin release, then added a Sailfish release:
Plus they scored a nice Dorado for the dinner table (lunch basket?) and were back on shore at noon. Incredible performance from the barroom brawler Explorer.
The Explorer and Steven Slack’s family had a blast on March 15 with Yellowfin Tuna an Dorado scores.
After refueling with fresh sushi, they battled and released this wonderful Sailfish:
It’s about that time for the BIG Yellowfin Tuna to show up, and on March 11 the Explorer and angler Chris Snider nabbed the first 100+lbs. Yella Fella of the year.
They also added a few nice Dorados to the haul.
The Explorer served up fresh Dorado sushi on March 9th with Jarred Hankhouse’s group.
Jason and Casey Deas brought home a stack of nice Dorado filets from their March 8th trip on the Explorer.
Jarred Hankhouse scored a fantastic Blue Marlin release on March 7 during his trip on the Explorer.
They also brought home dinner with several nice Dorados for the dinner table.
Here’s a great story of a young angler from Switzerland, as told by his dad:
Dear FishingNosara Team,
I hope you’re all doing well in beautiful Nosara!
Last summer (30.7.22), we spent an unforgettable day fishing off-shore with Raffa and Antonio. My older son Leo (11) keeps telling me that this was his greatest day in the whole holidays and he want’s to come back to Nosara as soon as possible 🙂
Today he painted a picture inspired by your t-shirt – I wanted to share the picture with you guys! We hope to get back to Nosara soon and it’s for sure we will spend some other days fishing with you.
Please send our warm regards to Raffa and Captain Antonio!
Best regards from Switzerland
Dario and Leo
The Explorer scored this excellent Blue Marlin release with on March 5.
They also brought home dinner with Dorados on ice:
The in the afternoon session, the Explorer bested this MONSTER Dorado.
Our old friend George Shipley posted a fantastic fishing day on March 2 with the Explorer reporting a nice Sailfish release and big Dorados on ice.
George wrote us this nice note after the trip:
As we wrap up week 2 and now on the countdown to heading home next Wednesday, I just wanted to say thanks for everything. As always, the fishing nosara : Paradise rentals team are outstanding and have taken care of our every need. Casa Bianca #4 is going to be added to our list of favourites.
I also want to acknowledgement and seriously compliment the boys on the explore. Antonio and first mate Raffa really took care of me yesterday and worked hard to find some action. All in we hooked 4 Mahi’s, including the attached photo. She’s a beauty!! … and we were able to kick off the day with a nice Sailfish.
Anyway, thank you from the Shipley’s for another great year!!!
