Mark Cooney and Paul Tilton posted a pair of perfect catches with Captain Fico on the 11th. This meaty Amberjack lead off the scoring:
The memorable fish was this floor-sweeping Dorado.
Proof again that you don’t need a big boat to catch big fish in Costa Rica!
The Explorer delivered the trip of a lifetime for Jess King and Elizabeth Rasch on August 22. Here’s how she told the story on social media:
“Our last day in Costa Rica was an all day off shore fishing trip, and it was one of the best ones! Elizabeth Rasch and I both caught a Blue Marlin!!”
“Hers was 450 lbs and the biggest catch of the day out of all the boats! Took her an hour to get it in!!”
“Shortly after I got another Yellow Fin Tuna!!”
“This has been the most amazing trip of a lifetime!! I will be returning!!”
The next day Jess King and Elizabeth Rasch returned and this time focused on Dorados.
Later in the trip the moved inshore and nabbed a wonderful Rooster Fish release, using this fresh caught Bonita as bait.
Chad Grimes joined the Explorer for a morning half day on August 18, and they performed brilliantly close to shore. For the dinner table they nagged this nice Dorado.
Then near the end of the session they released this wonderful Rooster Fish.
The Explorer welcomed Jess King and Elizabeth Rasch for a fun fishing campaign on August 17.
They kept the rods bent with multiple Dorados and Yellowfin Tunas.
“First ever off shore fishing trip in Costa Rica,” wrote Jess on social media. “It was a blast! Caught 3 Yellow Fin Tuna and 2 Dorado!! Seen hundreds of dolphins and a sea turtle!”
Larry Schenavar and his group joined the Explorer on August 6 and they got busy with a bunch of Sailfish releases.
They then moved inshore and conquered this stunning Cubera Snapper.
Awesome work by Captain Fico (on his birthday, no less!)
Mitch Rabin and his group scored big on the Explorer with Captain Fico reporting big catches and big fun. These sweet Sailfish releases top the barroom brawler’s scorecard.
They also added several big Yellowfin Tunas. Notice that while they are posing with one fish another is already on the cooler.
For variety they also nagged a tasty Dorado.
Excellent work by Captain Fico!
David Sohm added an extra half day to his Costa Rican fishing adventure by enlisting the Explorer for an inshore assault on August 2.
This monster Rooster fish was followed by a smaller variant; both safely released after the photos as always.
Not for releasing was this GIGANTIC Cubera Snapper:
Excellent fishing from the barroom brawler Explorer.
On July 21, Captain Fico took Lance Strand and his boys out for a fun five hour day on the water.
The seasoned US Coast Guard anglers performed brilliantly on Dorado and Yellowfin Tuns.
Later in the day, young Mr. Strand scored a football-sized Yella Fella of his own.
Anthony Zeitlin’s group performed brilliantly on the Explorer, with Captain Fico reporting this super Sailfish release.
