Explorer | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

February 15, 2015

Captain Carlos on the super panga Explorer have been on fire this month with lots of Sailfish action leading off the scorecard.

They started the month with an awesome Double Sailfish release. Great work by Mate Kevin to handle this fight and get these fish properly de-hooked and swimming free.

This double release was a sign of things to come…February has brought huge numbers of Sailfish releases for the super panga’s clients.

The filet bags stayed full this month also…check out the size on this Tuna:

Of course plenty of Dorado were harvested by the Explorer.

Great work by the dynamic duo of Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin!

All in a day’s work for the unstoppable Explorer!

The Explorer welcomed Ohio anglers Kevin and Mary Ann Dineen for a landmark day of fish harvesting.

This foursome of fishermen got down to business quickly, with each party member scoring a Dorado early in the trip.

Then the monster Dorado came calling!

After this wad of Mahi-Mahi’s on ice, it’s easy to think that the Explorer would call it a day…but that ain’t how the barroom brawler gets down!

The final fish of the day was a MASSIVE Wahoo:

I think we need a bigger cooler…Amazing that this monster’s tail is almost still in the water!

Easily the biggest Wahoo of the year, this monster might weigh north of 70lbs.

Sheesh, the picture weighs 5 pounds!

Great work by the unstoppable Explorer!

The Explorer delivered the goods for client Colin Pisano with a whole refrigerator full of fresh filets.

They snagged four Dorados (20lbs.-25lbs.) plus scored a quartet of White Tunas.

Dinner’s on!

Captain Carlos and his brother Mate Kevin are using the Explorer to make a statement to the rest of the fishing community: You don’t need a big boat to catch big fish!

Check out this pair of awesome Sailfish releases:

Great safe releases by Mate Kevin underscored the professional excellence of this fraternal fishing team. Great work by the Explorer!

Captain Carlos has continued to score big for his clients in 2015. He started the year off with this fantastic Double Sailfish Release:

Naturally, both fish were released but you can’t say the same for these beefy Dorados that have been filling our clients’ fishboxes:

Big Dorado have been a constant with several reports of full fishboxes of fresh filets.

Also, it is nice to White Tuna showing up on the scorecard again; these fellas have been a little scarce since the Dorado came close to shore. These 10-15lbs. White Tunas are the perfect size for tasty filets and sushi.

Of course the barroom brawler also picked a fight with some stunning Sailfish recently; check out the fight on this monster.

A safe release by Mate Kevin is the perfect send-off to this excellent fishing triumph.

Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin started the new year with a splash as they scored seven Sailfish releases on just a 5 hour trip!

You don’t get these kind of numbers without a few Double Sailfish releases thrown in:

Throw in this 30lbs. Dorado and you have one marked-up scorecard:

Amazing action from the barroom brawler!

The Sailfish have been thick this month and Captain Carlos has pulled out all of the tricks to reel ’em in and release ’em.

Check out the amazing bio-luminescence on this Sailfish:

They are better in pairs, as testified by this sweet Double Sailfish release.

Awesome performance from the barroom brawler!

The good times kept rolling on the Super panga as client Thomas Hollingsworth of Mount Dora, FL also snagged a few Sailfish backed-up by Dorado.

This one-two punch of trophy fish releases and Mahi filets on ice has satisfied many clients, and Mr. Hollingsworth is no different. Look at these big fish and big smiles:
