All smiles on the Discoverer!

The Explorer is still on a fish-catching tear, with lots of Sailfish releases report by anglers of all ages:

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:

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.

Captain Fico and Mate Elias have delivered white-hot action to their clients this month on the Explorer.

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:

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!”
