On May 22, Karen and Chris Lawrence pulled off one of the great feats in blue water fishing: the DOUBLE SAILFISH Release.
This challenge involves keeping both fish separated during the fight so they don’t cut off the lines, and masterfully boat- and fish-handling.
Great work by the dynamic duo of Captain Carlos and his little brother Mate Kevin!
Later in the day filled up the fishbox with these tasty Dorados.
Awesome job from two of our favorite Texas anglers.
On May 21 Mark Rogers scored on the battleship with a nice Sailfish release backed up by a big Dorado.
See if you can tell which half of the fish was on ice and which half wouldn’t fit in the cooler:
Nice trophy release AND filets for the dinner table? All in a day’s work for the Discoverer!
The Wanderer split their last day with Jake Jump’s group between inshore and offshore action. Early in the day they braved intermittent rains to snag two excellent Rooster Fish releases.
Afterwords they went offshore and found a pair of sweet meat fish; these Dorados and Yellowfin Tunas aren’t exactly scale-tippers, but they all look good on the dinner plate.
Great work by the flagship Wanderer!
Mark Rogers got his week started right with Captain Alex reporting multiple Sailfish releases on May 20.
The second Sailfish release was a high-flying beast that put the Harvester to the test.
In addition to the trophy releases, the mega panga nabbed a boatload of Yellowfin Tunas. Great eats ahead for Mark Rogers and his posse.
Karen Lawrence and her group of fun-loving Texas anglers got their week in Nosara off to a fast start with this excellent Sailfish release on the 20th.
They also filled-up the refrigerator with Dorado filets, thanks to this nice catch:
Captain Alex kept the coals burning on May 17 with this sweet Sailfish release:
After the billfish was swimming free, the Harvester followed the dolphin schools and snagged dinner in the form of fresh Yellowfin Tuna.
Jake Jump and the Discoverer knocked it out of the park on the 16th with a great day of offshore action.
It started with this nice Sailfish release, then loaded up on tasty Yellowfin Tunas.
Great work by the big battleship!
The Wanderer kept the good times rolling on the 16th with a pair of sweet Sailfish releases.
Excellent fish handling by Mate Johnson complimented Captain William’s boat mastery to keep these fights short and sweet.
This is a great time of year because you can catch Yellowfin Tuna one day and Dorado the next day, all using the same tactics and same spread.
These big Dorados are a welcome addition to the dinner table.
Of course any trip on the Harvester isn’t complete without a sweet Sailfish release.
Excellent work by Captain Alex!
Captain David is continuing his one-man war on the inshore species, with lots of great catches reported during the month of May. Check out these nice Yellowfin Tunas and Jack Crevalles:
The Adventurer also nabbed some of the more elusive Yellowtail Snapper:
And the excellent-for-sushi White Tuna:
