The Explorer continues to shine as an inshore warrior, and on a recent trip she ran the gamut with a nice Rooster Fish release backed-up by some football-sized Yellowfin Tunas.
They also hooked up Jaws’ little brother, and Captain Carlos smartly cut the line to save his fingers.
All in a day’s work for the 26-foot barroom brawler.

The Explorer scored again with a fine Rooster Fish release on a father-son fishing trip.
This excellent pez gallo was released after the picture, but this tasty Ponpano had no such luck…ceviche, anyone?

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.

Captain Carlos scored huge this week with a quartet of Sailfish releases backed up with nice White Tunas on ice.
The Explorer has been on fire this year and while the rest of the boats are eyeing their September vacation, the barroom brawler is looking forward to a great ‘off-season’ of continued action.

Andrew and Doug returned to the barroom brawler to continue their inshore assault, and flanked by the Adventurer these fellas scored a pair of beefy Amberjacks.
Unlike the AJ’s back home, these lunkers yield delicious filets…check out the great color on these filets:

Andrew Queral and Doug Dickman took a break from big-time billfishing in order to visit the Explorer for a full-on inshore assault.
A beefy pair of Yellowfin Tunas got first the half-day trip off to a good start, then this MASSIVE Amberjack punctuated the second day:
Great work by the legendary Explorer.

The formidable fishing family of Captain Zack Gerzeny tried their hand at Extreme Panga Fishing on August 5 they returned to shore with some excellent variety on the scorecard.
The highlight was this monster Rooster Fish release, but they backed it up with some tasty Yella Fellas and a mean-mouthed Needlefish.

Andrew and Doug moved to the Super Panga Explorer for a great day of inshore action with Captain Carlos.
They kept the rods bent with Yellowfin Tuna and plus added this scary Pinfish.
