Our new friend Chris Ravenscroft had a wildly productive half day with Captain William reporting bunches of badass Sailfish releases.
In the second hour of the trip they pulled of a Double Sailfish release.
The hardest fighting fish of the day was this late-morning monster:
FishingNosara Hall of Famer George Shipley was one of the Explorer‘s first clients, fishing on the super panga in February 2011 and posting the boat’s first ever Double Sailfish release.
He returned on the 25th and added another sweet Sailfish release to his ever-growing scorecard.
Joe Goins’ group nabbed a world-class Marlin with Captain William on February 24.
This monster put on an above-the-water acrobatic display as the mighty flagship fought her all the way to a safe release.
They also added a Sailfish to round out the scorecard:
Great way to finish the week for Team Goins!
Our old friend Joe Goins gave up on the snowy Northeast weather in favor of a full week of hot fishing with Captain William in late February.
From the 20th to the 24th Mr. Goins and his family fished everyday for eight hours per day; that’s some serious fishing!
This small Striped Marlin fought just as fiercely as its full grown brothers, but the mighty Wanderer was up to the task.
There was plenty of meat for the dinner table as well, thanks to this nice Dorado.
Still the target of the week was big billfish, and Captain William did not disappoint.
They closed out the week with another juvenile Striped Marlin release.
Fantastic work by the Goins posse and the fantastic flagship!
Captain David’s performance this month has smashed the boat record, and on February 24 he continued his dominance with four Groupers caught and a Sailfish release with client Mike Nobles.
The Explorer pulled double duty on February 22…client Julia Peebles and her group were quite productive in the morning session, scoring these big Yellowfin Tunas.
Then in the afternoon John Difillipo returned for more offshore action and was rewarded with this excellent Sailfish release.
Captain William delivered an awesome Sailfish released with client Brad Hendricks on February 17.
Great work by the mighty Wanderer.

The Wanderer stepped into a billfish battle on February 15 with client Brad Hendricks. The highlight was this Striped Marlin:
This was backed up by a pair of fierce Sailfish releases:
Great day for Mark Sherod on the Harvester…check out this wonderful Sailfish release:

Another nice day for client Ernest Jimenez on February 12 with Captain Carlos reporting two sweet Sailfish releases:
Excellent fish handling by Mate Juan Carlos to see these beauties safely returned to the water.
