Captain Fico is fired up for 2019 season on the Explorer!


The barroom brawler got things cooking on January 3 with nice Sailfish releases, backed up by big Dorados.








Drew Seesel and the Explorer enjoyed a great day on the water with a bunch of nice Dorados and a tasty Yellowfin Tuna.











The highlight of the day was a nice Sailfish release.



Great work by the barroom brawler 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.
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.
