The Explorer is still on a fish-catching tear, with lots of Sailfish releases report by anglers of all ages:
On the rare occasion that the Sailfish bite offshore shuts down, the inshore Rooster fish have been around to save the day.
Great work by the 26-foot barroom brawler!
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!
The unstoppable Ken Russell continued his two week fishing adventurer with a wonderful inshore / offshore day with Captain Alex on the Harvester.
The Russells and Larry Komenda and Misti Nolan started out with a fine Rooster fish release, then moved offshore to tackle a big Pacific Sailfish.
You gotta love being this close to the blue water, and having a boat that can score two wildly different trophy releases in a single day.
Andrew Oblinger and his kids nailed a few nice Rooster fish on an afternoon half day with Captain Alex on the Harvester.
All Roosters were live released, just the way we like it.
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:
Our buddy Alan Kenter barnstormed down for a quick fishing trip with the battleship Discoverer.
This big Rooster fish release is among the biggest of the year so far, and was followed by a second nice pez gallo:
The inshore triumphs were followed up by a sweet Double Sailfish release:
Scott Whitehead and his family had a sweet day on the Wanderer on March 11.
This Rooster fish release was a great start to the day, which also featured offshore action with high-flying Sailfish.
Safe releases by Mate Johnson as always.
“Captain William was great!” wrote Scott in an email, “2 Roosters and 4 Sail releases. Lost two sails as well so it would’ve been a huge day with those!”
After two days of record-breaking Sailfish releases the Discoverer stayed inshore on the 10th with client Mike Lydle and scored a pair a fat Rooster Fish releases.
Nice work by Captain Carlos and Mate Juan Carlos.
Brian Burke and Vicky Zelen had a big day of trophy fish releases on March 6, starting with this nice Rooster fish:
Then they headed offshore and scored this sweet Double Sailfish Release:
Great work by the unstoppable Explorer!
James Constable is a tough-as-nails Tampa, FL area angler who is no stranger to big catches offshore and near shore.
On March 5 Captain Alex got him going with several nice Rooster Fish releases.
In the afternoon they put away the spinning rods and headed offshore about 10 miles where the Sailfish were stacked up and hungry.
Great work in the cockpit by Mate Kevin to coordinate this high-flying action.
