Legendary Carolina angler Dan Johnson was fishing hard during and after the Ship of Fools tournament, and on the 9th he scored two nice Sailfish on the Explorer.
The Explorer also had Blue marlins in the spread but wouldn’t bite, and later nabbed two Groupers and other bottom fish.
“Great day with the fishing team always. Thank you. Dan Johnson”
The Discoverer snuck in an afternoon trip with FishingNosara Northeast Rep Mark Cooney and managed to score a couple of Sailfish releases on the brief trip.
Returning FishingNosara Hall of Famer Dennis Paul brought his family for a blue water campaign onboard the mighty Wanderer.
Three early Sailfish releases got things rolling.
Team Paul added several nice Yellowfin Tunas to their haul:
The clear highlight was this Double Sailfish release; Great work by Captain William and the mighty flagship!
Captain David continues to amaze with this monster Sailfish release on the diminutive 23-foot Adventurer:
The Harvester got her last tune-up trip before the tournament on April 3, and the keen-eyed Captain Alex stayed on the fish with three nice Sailfish releases.
Heather did a nice job reeling up the first Sailfish, and then Harris ‘El Matador’ Savin and his mother Maria teamed up for this Sailfish release:
David Shepardson brought a whole group of guys fishing on April 3 and they each tagged the scorecard with a total of four Sailfish releases.
Mate Kevin and Captain Carlos are an unbeatable team and they performed brilliantly on these releases.
Michael Hachadorian scored some swell Sailfish releases on the Discoverer during their trip on April 2.
Great work by the big battleship Discoverer!
Kate Haley and her friends had a productive half day with Captain William on the 31st. They started off with a nice Sailfish release offshore:
Then they moved inshore and boated some groupers, perfect for sandwiches.
Captain William delivers the goods, and in just 5 hours at that!
Tony Loff and his son enlisted the Explorer for a great day of offshore blue water action on March 30.
We got this nice email from Tony after the trip:
“Here are a few pics of the fish we caught with Fico and Johny. Those guys were awesome. They probably told you but we caught 2 sails, 2 mahi, and had 1 blue marlin and 2 sails chase the teasers to the boat.”
“Unfortunately they did not hit the throw back bait. We also lost 2 mahi. On a final note, the lunch was excellent. Thanks for the good time.”

Feeling adventerous and on a whim, Ms. Elaine Hepburn chartered the Harvester for a quick 5 hour trip on March 30. She had never fished before but with Captain Alex’ help was catching like an old pro in no time.
