Captain Antonio and the Explorer kept scoring in late June. Dorados and Yellowfin Tunas led to a fresh sushi meal on board.

A BIG Dorado was scored on June 19 by angler John Ritchie with Captain Antonio on the Explorer.

A fight this big will leave a man famished, but fresh sushi on board kept them going:

Scott Roppatte went sushi-hunting on June 16, and the Explorer picked up the scent of big Yellowfin Tunas offshore.

Sushi is served!

The Discoverer and Jesse Gregory’s group had a big day on May 3.

A pair of Sailfish releases were backed up with a big pile of Yellowfin Tuna catches.

In the evening they took this sizable tuna haul to Pacifico Azul and the sushi chef made this special arrangement to commemorate the great catch:

On March 22, the Torres posse had a big day on the Explorer.

This Sailfish release broke the ice, then they barroom brawler took it to the meat market for the rest of the day.

Nothing like fresh sushi to keep the energy levels high for these anglers.

The Discoverer pulled off the very challenging Double Sailfish release on November 29 with Tyler Brandenburg, Mark Perdue, and Richard Walden.

Great fish-handling by Mate Kevin to ensure the safe release of both fish above, plus this solo Sailfish released later in the trip.

BIG Dorados rounded out the day’s action.

Also this Monster Yellowfin Tuna led to a sushi party later at Casa Privada.

The Sims group finished off their trip on August 27 with a fun day in the sun on the Discoverer.

They were paced by the Wanderer offshore, but pulled up when the keen-eyed Captain Carlos spotted this floating debris:

The large fish were elusive but the big battleship stayed busy with a large quantity of smaller catches.

They had a sushi appetizer to celebrate the good catches, then contributed their sizable haul of fish to Maria for a family-style dinner back at Nosara Paradise Rentals.

Great trip for Team Sims!

August 7, 2019

The Discoverer did well on August 7 with Scott Swanson’s group reporting a nice Sailfish release backed up with a big Yellowfin Tuna.

All this reeling can work up the appetite, so a plate of fresh sushi with wasabe and soy sauce is a needed treat.

Kerri Watt scored some nice Yellowfin Tunas on board the Wanderer on March 29.

Here is what she had to say:

Hi Craig,

I caught my first fish (Yellowfin Tuna) yesterday and it was sooooo exciting!!! We are very excited to go [again] to catch some fish for Easter Dinner.

This excellent Sushi platter should be a good start:

Craig Sutton was joined by Paula, Matty, and Alejandro for an afternoon of fishing on the Wanderer on May 15. Captain William gathered the intellegence from Captain David on the Explorer that a large ‘mancha’ (school) of spinning dolphin were in the area feasting on Yellowfin Tuna.

The team worked this school together as First Mate Alex and Craig tossed poppers from the foredeck while Paula and Alejandro went to work in the cockpit. Captain William and Captain David worked together to keep the fish corralled so that both boats would have maximum chances at success.
