The Explorer grabbed the biggest Dorado of the season so far with angler Matt Baden.
This monster is a true deck-sweeper and was backed up by a few more beasts.
They also scored an amazing Rooster Fish release.
Great work by the masterful Captain Fico!
The consistent Dorado action continued for the Explorer at the end of November.
It’s great to see that the well-established patterns are continuing for our fishery, and their is no shortage or late-season Mahi on the menu
The Explorer finished off the month with angler Brian Messerich reporting a BIG Yellowfin Tuna backed up by a nice Dorado.
All of this on just a 5 hour trip…imagine the back-breaking load of filets they would score on a full day!
Stephen Warren and his son had a memorable trip with Captain Fico on November 25. Early in the day they went offshore and scored this awesome Dorado:
Things slowed down offshore, so the Explorer headed inshore and jigged up a beautiful Cubera Snapper.
Great work in waters near and far by the bad barroom brawler!
Clint Frank and his son took to the Explorer on the 21st and Captain Fico delivered the goods with a big Dorado offshore.
Then they headed inshore and snagged a nice Cubera Snapper.
Not too shabby for just a half day.
Ian Smith and his family kept the family fishing vibes going on the 20th with this nice Dorado score.
On November 18 the Explorer delivered a great fishing experience for this young angler.
It’s always a treat to show kiddos the art of blue water fishing in Costa Rica.
Nice job by the barroom brawler!
John Hernandez stayed inshore with Captain Fico on the 17th, and scored one of the biggest Rooster Fish we have seen:
Easily weighing in at 60+lbs., this pez gallo was released after taking these pictures.
They also scored a Dorado for the dinner table.
Excellent work by the Explorer!
The barroom brawler welcomed angler Russell Critchlow for a fun day of blue water catching.
They scored a nice Sailfish release, and backed it up with a nice Dorado.
Great work by Captain Fico on the Explorer!
While most of Bill Harris’ group was on board the Discoverer, Mr. Harris himself took to the 28-foot barroom brawler Explorer and opened up her season with a BILLFISH GRAND SLAM!
This Blue Marlin was the highlight of the morning, and was followed by a late-day Striped Marlin. Bill nabbed the first Marlin, and Mark Scott scored the second.
A nice Pacific Sailfish by Diane Turner completed the Grand Slam.
They didn’t go home empty-handed, thanks to five nice Dorado catches spread throughout the day.
Even a small shark came up for a photo before being released.
Fantastic work by ‘El Brujo’ Captain Fico and the unstoppable Explorer!
