Nicholas Lovato scored a wonderful stack of Yellowfin Tunas during their July 10th trip on the Explorer.


After a quick dip to cool off, they filled-up on fresh sushi.



The Mayes group scored excellent Yellowfin Tunas on July 8 with Captain Antonio on the Explorer.




The Explorer had a big day on July 7 with Michael Stephenson’s group.


They stayed busy with several nice Yellowfin Tunas on ice.


The Explorer had another Yellowfin Tuna sushi party on June 27 with angler Timothy Buttler. Yummy!


Captain Antonio and the Explorer kept scoring in late June. Dorados and Yellowfin Tunas led to a fresh sushi meal on board.




A BIG Dorado was scored on June 19 by angler John Ritchie with Captain Antonio on the Explorer.




A fight this big will leave a man famished, but fresh sushi on board kept them going:

Rocky Wray had a nice day on the Explorer, punctuated by two BIG Yellowfin Tunas.




Scott Roppatte went sushi-hunting on June 16, and the Explorer picked up the scent of big Yellowfin Tunas offshore.




Sushi is served!

Another fun report from Heidi and Jim O’Calligan



Friends, it was an epic day!!!!


Behold, the FISH of JIM’S LIFE!!! 62″,estimated 45 lb, the last fish on his list!!! He’s waited all his LIFE for a big bull dolphin!!!!






Captain Antonio and Mate Fito do it AGAIN!!!!! WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!! 👍👍😃😃👍👍😃😃👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😃👍😃😃👍👍🎉🎉😃😃
Great report from Heidi and Jim O’Calligan:
It was pouring rain this morning when we got up and it certainly looked like today was going to be a total washout. After a 2 hour delay, the rain stopped and it didn’t rain on us again for the rest of the day.

Turned out to be an outstanding day with Captain Antonio and Mate Fito!!!! We got 5 yellowfin tuna from 30 to 35 pounds. Jim got the biggest. I got 3, two of which were at least 30. Those were a lot of fun.






And, check out the size of the head of this sailfish that Jim caught. Captain estimated it was 150 pounds. I caught one about a 120.. They were the biggest sailfish either of us have ever caught. And they both gave us a very good fight!







We got video of everything!! We are spent to say the least!! What an amazing day that started out looking like it was going to be a washout!!!!
We kept 2 bags of tuna for dinner, gave one bag to the mommy who lives in the house on the beach and the rest went to Antonio and Fito and their families.. Again, what an amazing day what an amazing day this turned out to be!!!!!
