Great work by the barroom brawler Explorer!
On January 28, FishingNosara Hall of Famer Dan Johnson took local friend Alexander the Coconut Man (Gato) for his first trip offshore on the Explorer.

Fun time on the Explorer with Capitan Fico And Marinero Johnny (of the Wanderer, filling in at the Mate position)
Ben Stein and his group posted an incredible day with the Explorer on January 22.
Captain Fico reports a big haul of Dorados. Everyone in the group got multiple chances to fight these mega-Mahis
The fish have been fired up during the month of January, with Captain Fico reporting lots of great action.
This high-flying Saifish is indicative of the type of monsters we’ve been finding very close to shore.
Of course these big billfish gotta eat to stay big, and we have been consistently pulling in the Dorados that make up their bait.
Great work by the 27-foot Super panga Explorer!
The Explorer welcomed Kati McCarter on January 6 and this group blistered the fish.
This swole Sailfish was the highlight of the trip that also included this beefy Yellowfin Tuna.
Big Dorados dominated the rest of the trip. Some of these beasties were well over 40lbs.
Great work by Captain Fico and the Explorer!
Captain Fico is fired up for 2019 season on the Explorer!

Captain Fico delivered another great family fishing experience on the 27th.
Big Dorados were the highlight of the trip which also included a feisty Jack Crevalle.
The Explorer got a little Christmas shopping done on the 23rd; this year the barroom brawler found Yellowfin Tunas under the tree!
The Yella Fellas usually don’t show up in force until the Spring, so it’s a wonderful holiday surprise to snag this tasty morsel.
Picture perfect day on Explorer!
Captain Fico capitalized on the swarm of Dorados in our area with a mid-December conquest of several big specimens.
The highlight was this big deck-sweeper, backed up by other good-sized Dorados.
Great work by Captain Fico.
