The legendary Dan Parker struck again with a huge day of Sailfish releases on the Harvester.

Captain Alex took them offshore and found the billfish were aggressive and hungry.

 

Early in the day they snatched up 4 Sailfish, all safe released by Mate Kevin.

The highlight of the trip was this awesome Double Sailfish Release:

This is one of the most exciting feats in fishing backed up by some amazing photos.

To round out the trip they put this big Dorado in the fishbox…perfect for a late night snack at Nosara Paradise Rentals with the Jerome McKown group.

The Wanderer kept up the excellent fishing with another set of CCA Texas folks on February 3.

Art and Christine Jones brought their friends along for a trip to the meat market; for starters there was an excellent Yellowfin Tuna bite, which was then followed up by a big tasty Dorado.

They also added a sweet Sailfish release later in the trip:

Jerome McKown’s boys from Texas continued their hot fishing with Captain Alex on February 2. The Harvester headed off-shore and found the waters thick with Sailfish.

Everyone had multiple shots at big Pacific Sailfish.

Excellent fish handling by Mate Kevin to execute all these safe releases.

Captain Alex proves once again why he is Garza’s fastest rising star!

On February 2, legendary Texas angler Jerome McKown walloped a wicked Wahoo on the flagship Wanderer.

This deck-sweeper is a true monster; each side yielded four 1-gallon bags of filets.

That wasn’t the only fish of the day…this posse of CCA TX anglers nabbed a big Dorado and a number of football-sized Yellowfin Tuna.

On February 1 Captain William pulled double duty with two half day trips from two fun groups of client.

On the morning trip Ricardo Aiste and his group nabbed a pair of Sailfish offshore before heading inside to battle Bonitas.

Then in the afternoon Edward Squieres and Curtis Ethridge brought the kids along for an educational few hours on the water.

No giant fish to report this time, but check out these big smiles…always great to see youngster learn the craft of fishing on the Wanderer.

Art Jones andย David Ardoin marked up the scorecard with a wonderful day on the Harvester that featured a nice Striped Marlin release backed up with lots of Sailfish.

After the Marlin release, the Harvester was beset by hungry aggressive Sailfish.

With such clear water these fish are all the more gorgeous…Look at the glowing blue bio-luminescence on these beauty.

Mate Kevin was on his game with ten safe Sailfish releases plus the safe Marlin release. Surely his arms are tired after a day like this!

Amazing work by Captain William and the mega panga Harvester!

Ray Smith and Jerome McKown had a big day of action with Captain Alex on January 31.

The first big catches of the day were this pair of floor-sweeping Dorados.

Then the action really heated up in the afternoon where the Sailfish were stacked up thick as cordwood.

Looks like Ray was pumped up to catch this big monster!

The day was punctuated by several double strikes.

Mate Kevin did a fantastic job handling these big Pacific Sailfish…amazing work!

Jacksonville’s own Captain Dan Parker is a legend in Garza Bay, fishing this area for more than a decade.

This FishingNosara Hall of Famer and his wife Charlene had a big day on January 31 with Captain William on the Wanderer.

After the first Sailfish release, Captain William found a pod of spinning porpoises and knew that Yellowfin Tuna were lurking underneath.

Our old pal Ryan McCulley brought the family for a 6.5 hour trip and their scorecard ran the gamut from inshore Bonita action to offshore Sailfish scores.

The Bonita were deployed inshore in an attempt to score a big monster, however the offshore bite was really where the beast was found.

Excellent work by Mate Johnny and this young angler.
