Explorer | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

April 4, 2016

The Explorer continues to grow her reputation as a fly-weight fish-fighting weapon as many large fish have met their match.

This Double Sailfish release is certainly a highlight, and the combo of Captain Fico and Mate Elias have made big Sailfish releases a common occurrence on the super panga.

There has also been a nice run of Yellowfin Tuna which the Explorer has taken advantage of:

Most recently our great friends Ken and Brenda Russell along with Larry Komenda and Misti Nolan nabbed this sweet Rooster fish release:

Great work by the legendary Explorer!

Captain Fico and Mate Elias have delivered white-hot action to their clients this month on the Explorer.

These guys have the 28-foot super panga dialed-in and their results are proof that you don’t need a big boat to catch big fish.

The Sailfish bite is on strong with the barroom brawler knocking out several Sails, including some Double Sailfish releases (above).

Rooster fish releases have also been a constant this month for the Explorer:

It’s not all trophy releases, either. The fish box on the super panga has stayed bloody with reports of big Dorado and feisty Yellowfin Tunas:

The Explorer had a monster day on the 17th with three Sailfish releases, two Rooster Fish releases, and a big Dorado on ice.

Nice fish handling by Mate Kevin to ensure safe releases of these prized trophy fish!

It certainly looks like client Dante Quinine and his posse got their fishing fix on this trip!
