The action on the Explorer stayed solid throughout late March. On the 23rd Henry Passarini and his girls scored Sailfish releases by the handful on a 5-hour morning trip with Captain David.

Captain Carlos filled in the Mate spot and saw to the safe release of all the billfish.

Great fishing action for these Florida gulf anglers on the Costa Rican blue water.

Richard and Jean Prowant found out just how effective Super panga fishing can be on March 18 with Captain David and Mate Kevin. These Moorehaven, FL-based anglers strutted their stuff with four Sailfish releases.

Also they scored two nice eating fish: a nice sized Wahoo early in the trip and a beefy Dorado on the back end.

This is the first of three scheduled trips on the Explorer for Richard and Jean…look out for more great action from these Floridians.

Jennifer and Shannon Gonzalez torched the blue water creatures with Captain David on the Explorer on March 17.

The Sailfish have been thick recently and the Super Panga capitalized with several super releases.

 

The only thing that interrupted the Sailifsh swarm was this gargantuan Wahoo:

That is a legitimate deck sweeper!

These tough anglers kept the pedal to the metal with more Sailfish releases to finish off the trip.

Excellent performance by Captain David and Mate Kevin on the legendary Explorer.

FishingNosara Hall of Famer Dewey Gile returned to the scene of his commemoration: the legendary Explorer with Captain David at the helm!

A few years ago Dewey scored the first ever Marlin release for the then-new Super panga, and on his return visit he notched eight Sailfish releases!

The highlight came in the afternoon with this Double release…great work by Captain Carlos (on loan from the Adventurer) to safely coordinate this battle and release.

Dewey kept count of his Sails all day long; you think he is lobbying for a second slot in the Hall of Fame?

He bolstered his Sailfish releases with a nice Wahoo for the dinner table.

Excellent work by Captain David and the unstoppable Explorer.

Mr. and Mrs. John Rozas returned to the Explorer looking for a repeat of their success from last year. In March 2013 John nabbed a big Broomtail Grouper and together the released a nice Sailfish:

Notice how they seem a little apprehensive about handling this bucking billfish? They barely want to lay a finger on the mighty beast.

That was then, this is now:

Looks like John and Liz are trying out for a Mate position on the FishingNosara team!

Great work by this super couple!
