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.
Captain Fico kept the Explorer close to shore on the 26th and boated an excellent Cubera Snapper and Red Snapper on vertical jigs.


Captain Fico delivered in mid-January with a nice run of trips punctuated with big fish and big smiles. This excellent Sailfish release was the highlight:


The barroom brawler also nabbed a nice selection of big Dorados for the dinner table.



The Explorer also scored a trio of beefy Yellowfin Tunas to add variety to the filet bag. Excellent work by Captain Fico!

The Explorer and angler Kerri Macaulay nagged an awesome Sailfish release on the 8th.


After the clean release, they stocked up on fresh Yellowfin Tuna filets.
