Captain Alex and Brad Watson’s boys got into it with a bunch a bad blue water beasties on the 27th. Big Dorados were iced throughout the day.
Once again we have proof that the more FishingNosara swag you wear on the boat, the more the fish cooporate.
Meanwhile, theย Harvester was on the the hunt for some of the swarm of Sailfish swimming near our shores.

Excellent work by Mate Wilson to safely handle and release all of these wonderful creatures.

On the 22nd, angler Chris Graves and his posse elected for the afternoon 5 hour session with Captain Alex on the Harvester.
Despite the short trip, the Sailfish were ready for the fight and came into the spread one after the other.
Not a bad way to spend the afternoon, right?

Phil Egan’s hot streak continued on February 18. Here is the email he sent us after the trip:
Hey there Craig –
Had another killer day on the 5 hr trip on the Harvester yesterday. 3-4 miles out we had our first sail hooked up – the guys were still setting up and only had the shotgun line in the water.
Went on to go 5 for 7 on sails and 1 for 2 on dorado (24 lbs). That boat is a bad ass fishing machine!
Thanks for 3 great days of fishing. The boats and crews are all top notch. The guys all fish hard and with enthusiasm.
I can’t help but think they’ve all probably caught thousands of sails in their lifetimes, but treat each hookup with the excitement of it being their first.
Until next year!

Captain Alex had two-half day bookings on February 15, and scored enough Sailfish to prove that two halves are more than a whole.
Big Sailfish action dominated the morning session.
With lunch around the corner, these boys nagged a small Dorado. Perfect for three nice sandwiches.
