Our new buddy Steve Persinger scored the fish of a lifetime with this super Striped Marlin release on February 7.
Captain Carlos kept the Discoverer in the thick of the action, added this excellent Sailfish release:
Great fish handling by Mate Kevin ensures that we’ll see these beasts again one day.
John MacDonald signed up for a 5 hour half day on the 7th, and despite the shortened trip Captain Alex still scored a nice array of catches.
After an excellent Sailfish release, John’s group loaded up on Dorado and Yellowfin Tunas.
Just imagine if they had gone out for a full day…still great work by the mega panga.
Craig finished up his birthday weekend on the big battleship and Captain Carlos put him on the fish. Check out this big Sailfish release:
Then on February 5th, Yaya Funes capitalized on the early season Dorado run with several nice specimens caught on a morning 5 hour trip.
Then on the 6th John Egan stepped up the the Discoverer and did battle with several nice Sailfish releases.
They also added more of our staple Dorados for the fishbox.
The mighty flagship Wanderer welcomed John Egan and his family for a fun day of catching, highlight by this nice Sailfish.
They also added an energetic Dorado for the dinner table.
Alex Stark took his party to the Harvester on February 5th, and this group nagged a sweet Sailfish release and a bunch of Dorados.
Too bad this was just a 5 hour trip…the fish were chewing the bottom out of the boat and the mega panga had to leave the bite in order to make it back to shore on time.
The Explorer had a banner day on February 3 with angler Brendan Champagne and his group nagging a wide variety of species.
This rocking Rooster Fish release headlined a day that also included a super Sailfish release:
Then the barroom brawler headed to the meat market. The first filets in the basket were these Dorado:
Then it was Yellowfin Tuna time!
Adding to the filet diversity was this awesome Cubera Snapper:
Excluding Marlin, this trip featured pretty much every major species in our fishery…all in a days work for Captain Fico, Mate Elias, and the multi-faceted Explorer
On February 1 our pal Dan Johnson joined Captain Fico and the Explorer for a fun day offshore.
They released two Sailfish, with one of them jumping off close to the boat. Dan also scored this nice big gaffer Dorado:
Great work by the barroom brawler Explorer!
Tony Williams joined up with Captain William on the Wanderer to start the month off right with a sweet Sailfish release.
Then the action picked up with multiple Dorado scores.
Great job by the mighty flagship Wanderer!
Captain Alex finished up the month with Diana Foster’s group on the 30th, and the mega panga reporting an excellent Sailfish release backed up with lots of nice Dorados.
Fresh on the heels of the Sailfish release came wave after wave of Dorados.
Awesome job by Captain Alex and the famous Harvester.
Jerome McKown is in the FishingNosara Hall of Famer, and this time he is back with a big group of fun-loving Texas anglers.
These boys laid down the law with these feisty Sailfish releases.
These sweet Sailfish releases put the big battleship to the test, but the Discoverer never backs down from a challenge.
Great job by Captain Carlos, Mate Kevein, and these Lone Star anglers.
