FishingNosara Lifetime Hall of Famer Richmond Phipps enlisted the super panga for a short trip to the fish market along with son Daniel and daughter-in-law Yetty.
They scored some nice Yellowfin tuna backed up by a pair of beefy Dorados. These filets made a perfect addition to the Thanksgiving feast the next day.
Great work by Captain David and one of the true innovators of Garza panga fishing…great work Richmond!
Tom Kerl followed up his excellent outing on the Wanderer with a fantastic day on the Explorer. Check out the biggest Dorado of the season so far:
That’s a tasty dish right there! Great work by Captain David on the Explorer…the little boat that no one saw coming is primed for another lights-out campaign this season.
Eddie Rivera and his buddy took to the Explorer for an inshore tuna hunt and were rewarded with a trio of tasty Yellowfins.
These football-sized Yella Fellas weigh about 10 lbs. each but their filets make for the best sushi around…hold on there!
Let us filet it up for you first!
The Blue Spirit Yoga Retreat booked the Wanderer and Explorer for a blue water outing for the faculty and students.
The Explorer won the day with three fat Dorados on ice. Estimated between 20 lbs. – 30 lbs., each of these greenies yields lots of great filets for these yogis.
Nice hunting by Captain David and Carlos on this very productive outing.
Matty was in town to help get the new office squared away, but still found a little time to squeeze in some fishing. The legendary Explorer was in the final touch-up stage of maintenance and Matt got the first crack on the Super panga this season.
Trolling a few miles offshore they pulled in this nice 20lbs Dorado…not a monster by any stretch but still a really good-eatin’ fish!
While most of the staff celebrated the end of the season on the Wanderer, the mighty tandem of Alejandro and Grevan of Nosara Paradise Rentals put on a billfish catching display on the Explorer that will not soon be forgotten.
They started out with a pair of nice Sailfish releases, then Alejandro closed out the season with an awesome Blue Marlin release:
With two months of maintenance looming on the horizon, it’s nice to make sure that the billfish don’t get lonely while our boats are on the hill. We’ll be back soon!
Jim Dodich returned to the Explorer for an extra day of fishing and this time scored a nice Big Black Marlin! Look at the shoulders on this monster:
Later they released an additional Pacific Sailfish.
Great work by the unstoppable super panga!
Jim and Emile Benvegna started their final day of fishing with Captain David on a great note: another Big Black Marlin!
They followed up with a nice Sailfish:
Then these Florida anglers caught two of the nicest Dorado of the season on the Explorer. This pair of bulls are MASSIVE!
These man-sized Mahi Mahi justified the Benvegnas purchase of two FishingNosara coolers to take the filets home…one wasn’t nearly enough!
Also Emilie added a tasty 15+lbs. Wahoo to add variety to the menu.
Great follow up to their awesome Marlin and Sailfish action from earlier in the week, all on the legendary Explorer!
Jim Dodich and his friend joined Captain David in the midst of this incredibly great week of fishing, and they reports more excellent catches on the Explorer.
Each client got a nice Pacific Sailfish, while Jim added a tasty Yellowfin Tuna for the dinner table later in the trip.
Jim Benvenga release SIX Marlin on the Explorer today plus a Sailfish to complete the legendary Billfish Grand Slam!
