The Explorer performed brilliantly on February 9 with Norman Lindsey scoring a very challenging Double Sailfish release.

This would be the clear-cut highlight for most trips, but Norman also nagged a wonderful 50+lbs. Dorado.

“I just wanted to say how impressed I was with your captain and mate, and the entire experience,” Norman wrote to us via email. ‘Everything was top notch, and my wife and I had a blast!”

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.
