The Sailfish swarmed during early August, and Captain Alex led the charge with an excellent seven release day on August 9.

This Double Sailfish release was quite a challenge, but Mate Wilson coordinated with Captain Alex wonderfully and kept these fish separate and safe.

The sustained Sailfish attack continued all morning and the crew chalked up the scoreboard several times.

Great work to keep these fights short and sweet, ensuring the safety and survival of the fish.

A man can work up quite a hunger with all this action, so wouldn’t it be nice to catch something to eat?

Yes….yes it is.

This monster deck-sweeping Dorado even impressed Captain William on the Wanderer (see backround), who came by to see for himself.

Amazing day by the mega panga!

Captain Alex took Daniel Stapinski and his group out for a 5 hour half day, but the shortened day didn’t dampen the Harvester‘s ‘Never Surrender’ spirit.

A true Double Sailfish hook-up was the highlight of the trip.

Great work by Captain Alex to deftly handle the double capture, and then hand them off to Mate Wilson in order to take the photo.

Seeing double?

Also a great solo Sailfish release was executed during the trip.

Amazing fishing in short order by the mega panga Harvester!

When we say that the fish are fired-up in late July, this is what we mean:

Alan Brewer and his group were the beneficiaries of these fired up billfish, the leader of which was this beautiful Blue Marlin.

After that amazing catch, Team Brewer belted up for an awesome Double Sailfish battle.

Great work by Captain Alex and Mate Kevin to keep these two monsters from getting tangled and ensuring a safe release for both fish.

For those still clinging to the old notion that the fishing in Costa Rica is not white-hot in July, please check out this July 22 trip from the Harvester with angler Carlyle Smith.

This monster Marlin was just the tip of the iceberg.

A big time Sailfish wasn’t far behind, and the mega panga was there to pull her in.

Another great Sailfish also found its way to the Harvester.

Normally a big day full of billfish releases would be all that you need, but why not add some big Dorado filets for the fishbox?

Oh and in case you are wondering, all of these catch came on just a 6.5 hour trip…imaging if they had gone for a full eight hours!

The white-hot billfish bite continued on July 19 with Captain Alex reporting a mammoth day for anglerย Steve Balz and his boys. This monster Blue Marlin was the highlight of the trip:

The Marlin was backed-up by this great Sailfish release:

Of course the boys didn’t go home empty-handed, as a squad of tasty Dorados found their way to the fishbox.

Awesome work by the mega panga Harvester.
