Man we love California anglers! A good friend of Shea McIntee (of Stoked on Fishing fame) named Ed Smith has brought his boys down to Nosara for a fun week of surfing and fishing.

On August 17 young Sean scored this excellent Sailfish release on the Explorer.

Ed writes: “Sean joined the billfish club today with his first sailfish on light gear.”

“I on the other hand came closer to my cubera snapper goal, losing a monster on a big popper in a few feet of water.”

“Nothing like seeing a 12-inch wide tail/back come crashing down on the jig! Off to buy more poppers tomorrow!”

ย Still, Ed scored some excellent eating fish with a Yellowfin Tuna, Ponpano, and Snapper all on ice.

Wonderful Double Sailfish release on the Explorer!

This pair of monsters attacked the super panga’s spread but Captain Carlos and Mate Juan Carlos were ready for them.

Once again the good fishing karma found this group of CCA North Carolina anglers and they performed brilliantly.

All fish were safely released, putting the perfect bow on this fishing gift.
