Patrick J. Puentes of New Mexico found billfish success with Captain Carlos on December 3. This sweet Sailfish release was the highlight of the trip.
They also put some tasty Dorado filets on ice.
All in a days’ work for the big bad battleship and these anglers from the Land of Enchantment.
Our new buddy Greg Patts whipped some fish butt on the Super Panga Explorer over a three day span. On November 29 he nabbed a nice Dorado, perfect to gnaw on for the week.
Then on the 30th and 1st he extend his trips to full days so they could head offshore and hunt blue water beasties. Check out these sweet Sailfish releases:
Awesome work by Captain Fico and Mate Elias to deliver the goods!
Craig Sutton was on board the Harvester with his grandson Josh Page and this young man scored a MASSIVE Sailfish during his first taste of blue water action:
Nice fish-handling by Mate Kevin to ensure a quick safe release, and the next day showed off his own prowess on the reel:
The Harvester scores again as the fishing has certainly begun to improve after the Supermoon and the Hurricane did their best to interfere.
The Wanderer welcomed Richard Rileyfor a great half-day fishing adventure, highlighted by this high-flying Sailfish:
After the safe release they picked up a perfect filet-sized Yellowfin Tuna:
Great work by the mighty flagship!
The Bill Harris group put in some excellent work on the Harvester in mid-November. Early in the trip they nabbed this world-class Sailfish release:
Then Mr. Harris buried the hooks in a swarm of big Dorados.
Ever wonder how we come up with our shirt designs? Inspiration abounds:
The posse scored another excellent Sailfish release to finish off the trip:
Great job by the baddest panga in Costa Rica!
The Discoverer is back in action and nabbed this lone Sailfish on November 12.

We’ve been battling the Super-Moon Blues as the bites seems really slow during this phase; however we are anticipating big action once the moon recedes.
Captain Fico welcome client Stephen Johnson for a memorable half-day on the Explorer.
They scored a pair of dinner-table worthy Yella Fellas to start the morning, then nabbed this excellent Sailfish release:
Great work by Captain Fico on the hunting and by Mate Elias on the safe release.
There has been a nice school of Yellowfin Tuna in town this week, and while the bigger boats went off-shore and found 30+lbs. Yellas, the Explorer stayed near to shore and nabbed a trio of 10-15lbs. specimens.
Remember that the smaller Yellowfin Tuna actually yield denser meat, and once again the Explorer proves her prowess in filling the fishbox.
They also scored a late-day Sailfish release to round out a great day of fishing:
Chip Jones posted a day of massive results on the battleship Discoverer with a Sailfish release, six Rooster Fish releases, and 11 Yellowfin Tunas on ice.
The Rooster fish releases are unusual for this time of year, and these clients were especially fired up with these trophies.
The Discoverer continues her great fishing as we move into the new season. Great work by Captain Carlos and Mate Johnson on loan from the Wanderer.
Our old pal Eddie Delaney had a nice day on the Harvester on October 29th and found the bite to be equally good onshore and offshore.
After scoring this excellent Sailfish release, they moved inshore and nabbed this beefy Rooster fish release:
Great day by the boat that doesn’t know the meaning of the term “off-season”!
