Captain Fico has the Explorer dialed-in…on February 25 they were fighting Yellowfin Tunas and Dorados on all sides.




The unstoppable barroom brawler Explorer was rocking in late February with wide variety of great scores.

Big Yellowfin Tunas have been plentiful of late.




Good to see Mate Fito continuing his training in the cockpit.



What great work by Captain Fico and the Explorer.

Lawrence Kowalski released an awesome Sailfish on February 14 with the Explorer.




The Explorer scored a pair of super Sailfish releases on February 11.



Add in a super Dorado and you have a fantastic day on the barroom brawler.

Dan Johnson finished off his fishing adventurer with FishingNosara on February 10 on the Explorer with his new right-hand man Antonio Carrillo.









Dan wrote us a very nice letter at the end of his trip:
To everyone at FishingNosara:
Let me tell you I am grateful and thankful that you are my very special family.
I have just completed my 5th trip and stay with you and fished a dozen times in a 5 month period.
I want to express my appreciation for the friendship I have with all of you.
I have been coming to Costa Rica for 25 years and have never felt more at home anywhere else.
You are all the best.
Sincerly,
Dan Johnson
Hatteras, NC

Captain Fico continued to deliver for his clients on February 7 with two awesome Sailfish releases.


For the filet bag they scored an excellent Dorado.

Captain Fico stayed inshore on February 6 and delivered this excellent Rooster Fish release.

Jeff Witt had a banner day on February 4 with the Explorer.



Here’s what Jeff had to say: “Our trip was awesome! We caught two sailfish and a large marlin. We saw a ton of dolphins, birds and a large turtle. Our captain and crew were excellent. The fresh fruit and lunch were all amazing. Highly recommend!”




Jim Roche had a monster day on the Explorer with Captain Fico reporting an amazing Blue Marlin release.






Great fish handling by Mate Antonio to ensure the safe release of this beast.

This kind of catch can work up and appetite, but hopefully this 70+lbs. Dorado will help Team Roche replenish from this incredible day of blue water action.

Kenneth Moore enjoyed a nice day of action on the 27th.

This Sailfish release was the highlight of a day that also featured a big Dorado on ice.

Great work by the Explorer.
