We had an epic day with Alex on the Harvester this morning,” wrote Ryan Doersam on August 3.
“A Sailfish double header less than 30 minutes after dropping the lines followed by a 200+lb Marlin about 10 minutes after we released the Sailfish.”
Great job by Captain Alex and the mega panga Harvester.
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!
The Discoverer started August right with angler Mike Triglia reporting this amazing Blue Marlin release:
These guys also brought home filets thanks to these nice Dorados.
Great work by the big battleship Discoverer!
Captain Fico took angler Jeff Tomcsik offshore on July 30 and found the Sailfish laying in wait.
This aggressive high-flyer provided great fishing memories, while these Yellowfin Tuna weighed down the dinner table.
The next day they scored a true fish of a lifetime with this excellent Blue Marlin release.
They finished the day inshore and scored another awesome trophy fish releases with this Rooster Fish.
Our old friend Elizabeth Popp brought her boys along for a fun day of inshore action with Captain David.
The Adventurer delivered the good with this excellent Cubera Snapper backed up by a nice Dorado.
Looks like these growing boys will have plenty to eat this week!
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.
John Johnson and Anita Walker joined the Discoverer on the 26th for a morning half day, and despite the short duration they still managed a pair of Sailfish releases.
Who knows how many big fish they left out there because of the short trip.
The Explorer rounded out the month of July with a nice run of Sailfish releases on July 26. Take a look at these powerful pelagics:
On July 25th the Harvester and angler Carlyle Smith found themselves neck-deep in some BIG Sailfish.
This is the time of year when the Sailfish are at their largest, with some of these easily over 150lbs.
A mid-day Dorado took care of dinner.
More nice Sailfish releases rounded out the day.
Great work by the mega panga!
Captain Fico on the Explorer delivered another great trip to Mr. and Mrs. Juan Levesque on July 25. Big Sailfish releases provided the excitement on this trip.
However these Florida anglers melted some ice, thanks to this big Yellowfin Tuna.
Great work by the barroom brawler!
