Our old pal David Little returned to Nosara in mid-November and these UK anglers had a big time on the Adventurer.
This big Dorado is an example of their great variety of edible catches that will look great on the dinner plate.

Captain Alex posted the trip of the season so far with Terry and Julie Edwards’ group loading up the trophy case with excellent releases.
This MASSIVE Blue Marlin was the headliner of the trip.
Shortly after that battle, the mega panga nabbed a wonderful Saifish release.
Team Edwards came inshore to finish the day, and saved the best for last…this Rooster Fish weighed 72lbs. according to the Boca Grip.
The IGFA All-Tackle Record is 114lbs., however the second place fish was 85lbs. This fish caught by the Harvester is close to the old record.
Most impressively, the record fish were in 1960 and 1954 respectively…clearly this size of Rooster Fish have not been seen in more than 5 decades.
Great work by Team Edwards and the mega panga Harvester!

Nice job by the barroom brawler!

Captain Alex had a bountiful trip on November 14 with angler Matthew Tolley reeling in multiple nice Sailfish.
These pelagics were lined up like a column of soldiers, keeping Captain Alex and Mr. Tolley busy all day long.
Most importantly, all of these monsters were safely handled and released, due to the care expressed by Mate Wilson and Captain Alex.
It wasn’t all trophy fish releases. Matthew went home with a big bag of fish filets thanks to these delicious Dorados.
Great work by the mega panga Harvester!

The Discoverer welcomed Steve Emmott and his group for a fun day of offshore fishing on November 12.
This Sailfish was the highlight of the day which also featured these nice Dorados.
These big green monsters are indicative of the kind of consistent action we’ve enjoyed this whole month.
Great work by the big battleship!

Tyler Allen took to the seas on November 11 and the fish were lined up and waiting.
Captain Alex hooked up a some great Sailfish releases which were the highlight of the trip, then backed it up some excellent Dorados.
You can work up an appetite catching all these fish, but at least wait until it’s filleted before eating!
Awesome work by the mega panga!
