Justin Harmening bulldozed his way into the FishingNosara Hall of Fame with a magficient THIRTEEN Sailfish release performance on February 23.

To say that these fish were aggressive is an understatement. Captain Alex could barely get the spread deployed before a bait got wrecked by a hard-charging Sailfish.

Team Harmening handled multiple hook-ups throughout the day. Great work by the crew to keep these fights organized and the lines un-tangled.

All this reeling can work up a mighty appetite, but this nearly 70lbs. Dorado should help with the hunger.

A few smaller Dorados rounded out the meat haul.

The Discoverer welcomed some ladies from the Yoga Paradise Retreat led by Beverly Brown, Belinda Taylor, and Carla Kemp on February 21.

Several nice Sailfish releases provided great memories for this group.

Also they nagged this excellent Dorado for the dinner table.

Big fish and big smiles is what we love to see!

 

 

 

Fish Tacos anyone?

Certain anglers want to micromanage their trip (inshore for 1.5 hours, troll for 2hr, cast for 45 minutes, etc.) and a common response isย  to “take what the ocean gives you.”

Phil Egan learned this lesson from the sea on February 16. Here is his account:

“So, our little 2.5 hour 3-5:30 snorkeling trip turned into quite an experience. Green water and swells over the reef turned the snorkeling into a bust. We then turned offshore to see if we could have the kids spot some dolphins – that was a bust too.”

“After about 45mins searching, the guys then said “how about some fishing”. Um….sure! We ended up snagging 2 sails – so much fun.

“And then with the sun going going down and the guys taking in lines – the last remaining line in the water – port outrigger – blows up. Bring in a beautiful ~40 lb dorado!”

“Can’t wait for the Thursday trip!”
