Captain Fico welcomed Lauren Frederick and her friends for a fun day of billfish battles on January 29.
After a pair of nice Sailfish releses, they cooled off with a dip into the Pacific blue water.
Great work by the Explorer.

Captain Fico posted a banner day with Lauren Frederick’s group on the 27th. An early Sailfish release was a great way to start the trip.
Throughout the day swarms of Yellowfin Tunas came running through the spread, and the super panga was ready to catch them.
The kept five big Yellowfin Tunas ranging from 30lbs. – 40lbs.

Captain Fico delivered the goods for anglers Wendy Oberg and Richard Wenk on the 22nd. They started out with an inauspicious first catch as this bird stole a bait from behind the boat.
After the bird was sefely released, these anglers scored a tasty Yellowfin Tuna for the dinner table.
Then the Explorer moved inshore and captured this lovely Rooster Fish.
Safe released as always. Great work by these Wisconsin-based anglers on a short 5hr. trip.

Everyone know the the Hernández family is synonomous with FishingNosara. That’s why is was a great honor to welcome Maria Montiel Hernández for a fun fishing vactaion in late January.
Over on the Explorer, Maria nabbed a nice Yellowfin Tuna.
She also had fun at the River Mouth as Javier aka Maria’s cousin aka Rey Robalo brought two more Snooks under his domain.
Looking good!

The bottom fishing has been on fire in mid-January; the Explorer boated a big Congrio and a bucket-full of small Red Groupers.

Shane and Kristina Sheltra returned to Nosara in late December, and on the 27th they had a great day of blue water fishing on the Explorer.
This monster Blue Marlin release was the highlight of a day that also included great Sailfish action.
Awesome work by the barroom brawler Explorer.

While the big boats were offshore battling Marlins, the Explorer chose a closer orbit and Captain Fico’s witchcraft paid off for the Stephane Ughetto group.
This BIG Yellowfin Tuna (~60lbs.) was clearly the catch of the day, and it was backed up with a nice Sailfish release.
Excellent work by Mate Antonio and Captain Fico.
