The Explorer is absoulutely on fire this month! On July 25 she relased a Marlin and a Sailfish, plus mopped up on Yellowfin Tuna and the suddenly-abundant Wahoo!

The billfish were released early in the trip, leaving the rest of the day open for fridge-filling.

That’s some incredibly well-rounded fishing from the most powerful panga in the bay. Great work by Captain David and Mate Kevin on this excellent day!

People often ask us if they should go offshore or stay inshore, and we give them the answer that all anglers love: Both!

Peter Karpinski booked the legendary Explorer and got all he could handle both offshore in the blue water and inshore where the meat fish like to school up. He started the day with two excellent Sailfish releases as the first fish came blasting through the spread around noon

Excellent release by Mate Kevin to ensure the safety of both fish and angler. On the next fish Peter was feeling a little brave and decided to bill the fish himself…not quite as easy as Mate Kevin makes it look, huh?

With the trophy fish released, Captain David pointed the Explorer inshore and Peter had a field day on nice-sized Yellowfin Tunas. Take a look at this trio of tasty treats:

Steve House is staying in Guiones Beach and wanted to dip his toes into the world of blue water fishing. Since he was riding solo the perfect choice was Captain Carlos and the 23-foot Adventurer. Check out this tasty Yella Fella they pried out of the water on board the pocket knife.

Here’s a note from Mr. House:

“Just wanted to say thanks and tell you that your crew here in Nosara was very professional and showed me a really good time.ย  I caught a huge yellow fin Tuna on my fishing trip and the chef at my hotel prepared it for me.ย  It was possibly the best fish I had ever eaten.ย  No fish were caught on the Kayak trip but the guide was sure to point out all the local wildlife.ย  Cheers!”

David Schiffer and his lady took to the Super Panga on July 2 and Captain David kept the good times rolling with yet another tasty bite of Yellowfin Tuna.

These football-sized Yella Fellas are the perfect size for filets and yield the best-tasting meat around.

More importantly check out the big smiles on the client’s faces; This is the standard side-effect of a great day of Super Panga fishing!

The action was just getting started for the Good Doctors as Captain David switched up tactics and dropped some deep rigs to the bottom. Look and what was lurking beneath:

This Cuberra Snapper is a full 50+lbs. and it was a monster to catch. If yesterday’s big Dorado wasn’t enough to keep these boys fed this Red Buick should fill up the rest of the refrigerator.

Sensing the need for appetizers, the Explorer put Yellowfin Tuna sushi on the menu with this very nice 25lbs. specimen. On a slower day this fish would be considered the highlight, but clearly the bite was on fire and Captain David kept the Explorer‘s presentation one step ahead of the fish.

The Explorer‘s fishboxes were so full that they smartly began to target catch and release species. This Rooster fish is a beautiful example of this species. What amazing markings!

Late in the day they hooked up an acrobatic Sailfish and got some great photos, however this one spit the hook after a short fight.

We’ll keep an eye out for these anglers as they take to the Wanderer for a few days offshore; perhaps this gal’s still out there waiting for them.

While half of Chuck Harris’ group were knocking out bottom fish with Captain David on the Explorer, the rest of them headed offshore with Captain William on the Wanderer to see what was biting in the blue water. The flagship found her way to Sailfish City and released this lovely pair of hunting buddies:

It wasn’t just about the trophy fish, as the boys got on a small school of Yellowfin Tuna later in the trip, highlighted by this 30lbs Yella fella:
