The Explorer welcomed client Will Cwikiel for a trip to the blue water and Captain Fico reports a nice Sailfish release.
Excellent work by the Super panga!
Bob Rhinehart came to the Explorer looking to fill the fish box, and he got as that he asked for.
The big filets came in the form of big Yellowfin Tuna backed up a fat Dorado…excellent work!
Bob returned the next day for another foray into the blue water. The bite was slow early in trip, but heated up in a big way in the afternoon.
This Dorado hit at 4:45pm and even though it was late, Captain Fico knew they were on the right spot.
Less than an hour later this Striped Marlin took the bait at 5:25pm
From striking out to hitting a home run all within one hour…persistence pays!
Captain Fico reports an excellent Sailfish release from his trip on March 26.

Alaska’s own Kenny Ray returned to Nosara with his family to ply the inshore reefs on the Explorer and caught a wide variety of reef-dwellers. The highlight was this big Jack Crevelle:
Check out these zebra style markings on this tasty morsel.
After scoring offshore the day before, Captain Fico returned inshore and delivered this fat Broomtail Grouper for his clients.
Captain Fico is a master of both inshore fishing and offshore blue water battling, evidenced by this healthy Sailfish release.
Great fish handling by Mate Elias to see this beauty released alive and well.
The Super panga welcomed client Kevin Poindexter for an inshore hunt, and he overcame this nice Queen Snapper.
This is a great fish, especially to find this close to shore.
FishingNosara Hall of Famer George Shipley was one of the Explorer‘s first clients, fishing on the super panga in February 2011 and posting the boat’s first ever Double Sailfish release.
He returned on the 25th and added another sweet Sailfish release to his ever-growing scorecard.
