Mike Earnest kicked off our new fishing season with a big fun group from North Central Florida. They enlisted theย Harvester andย Discoverer for their fishing mission.

This hard-charging Sailfish was the catch of the day, and was released by the mega panga.

Throughout the day they scored multiple Yellowfin Tunas.

Over on theย Wanderer, Captain William was itching to get back on the water after the long offseason.

The Master Captain got right down to business with a boat load of Yellowfin Tunas on ice. Here’s a sampling:

Craig finished his three-day campaign on theย Harvester with a rod-bending day of action. Our chief mechanic Marino was on the real for this fun Dorado catch.

Later in the afternoon the mega panga hooked up a supercharged Sailfish.

This monster put on a show, but Mate Wilson got the leader and pulled him alongside. The Sailfish spit the hook and escaped safely with the last laugh.

The first day of the season filled the refrigerator with Yellowfin Tuna filets, so on the second day Craig and Javier went hunting for trophy fish.

Javier belted up for the first Sailfish of the day. This crazy beauty was darting back in forth above the water.

After a nice battle she was safely released as always.

Craig was next into the breach and waged an epic battle with a big Blue Marlin.

Dario Hernandez joined his father for this trip and snagged a few sandwich-sized Dorado filets.

This trip was also a training run for Mate Antonio, who most of our clients know as our panga boat driver; he will be assuming the mate’s role on theย Explorer this year, and will be training with Captain Alex on the Harvester to continue improving his skills.

After seven lonely months, the 32-foot Harvester is back on the water. It’s been a long road back and we are stoked to get back to action.

Craig Sutton and Antonio were the first anglers up, and they scored multiple Yellowfin Tunas.

They worked over a school of porpoises with live blue runners on the hook, and scored Yella Fellas weighing 54lbs, 35lbs., 30lbs., and 25lbs.

Great work by the team to bring home the bacon!

On August 2, Captain Alex rounded up some of the co-workers from the Casa Bianca jobsite and took them to the offshore meat market.

Theย Harvester performed beautifully, delivering more than a dozen of these much-needed filets to the Nosara community. Check out Grevan with these awesome Yella fellas:

The worlds a little crazy on land, but 0n theย Harvester it’s a nice normal day on the water.

Our amazing crew has been working hard these last few months on the construction of Casa Bianca, so when Javier asked if he could launch one of the boats for a relaxing fishing time the answer was “Of course!”

Captain Alex and Mate Wilson of the Harvester found some nice Yellowfin Tunas just a few miles off of the beach. Alexander, Grevan, and Marino were happy to have these filets on ice.

Then, they spotted a large macha of porpoises a little bit further offshore. A funny thing happened on the way to the porpoise pod.

A 400+lbs. Blue Marlin caught up with a single lure that Captain Alex left in the water while in transit, and struck it while theย Harvester was clipping along at 20 knots!

That is a new level of high-speed trolling! Safely battled by Foreman Dieter and released by Mate Wilson, this release is now part of the Harvester‘s untouchable legacy.

Captain Alex welcomed some of our oldest friends to Nosara on March 17; Ken and Brenda Russell have been enshrined in the FishingNosara Hall of Fame multiple times, and these hard-fishing New Yorkers always bring solid group of anglers.

Theย Harvester got them off to a good start with several supersize Sailfish releases.

Big fish and big smiles all around on the mega panga.
