On April 19, Graeme Rockett kept up the streak of great inshore action on the Harvester with a sweet Cubera Snapper and followed in up with a nice Rooster Fish release.
With dinner filets in the icebox, the mega panga added to the trophy case with this excellent release:
New Jersey angler Danny Azzato and his daughter knocked it out of the park on their first day fishing on the Explorer. A nice Roosterfish release started off the trip.
Then in the afternoon they headed offshore and loaded up on big Yellowfin Tunas.
Looks like dinner is served for these Garden State anglers!
Dan Bowman brought his kids along for a very memorable day of fishing with Captain William on the 19th.
Check out what Dan had to say:
Craig,
Best fishing trip EVER — and I got to enjoy it with Chloe and Sophie, my 4.5 year old daughters! William and Johnny were the best.
We fought through a slow morning with a huge Cubera snapping off on the reef to landing 3 Sailfish in the early afternoon (the first two being a double hookup which was super exciting) to be followed up with a monster Dorado on the way home.
My girls had the best time ever, as did I! Memories to last a lifetime. Thank you and your crew for being so accommodating! Can’t wait to come back and go out again!
HUGE THANKS!
Cheers,
Dan Bowman

The big battleship Discoverer stayed on the job in late April, with Captain Carlos reporting an excellent Sailfish release on the 19th.
Best of all this beast was tracked down and released on just a 5 hour trip.
Miriam Schroers’ family enjoyed all that our inshore fishery has to offer with an amazing performance on April 18.
After an excellent early-morning Cubera Snapper score, these anglers corned a medium-sized Wahoo who drifted a little too close to shore.
It’s unusual to catch a Wahoo this close to shore, but with Captain Alex it’s quite normal to score a nice Rooster Fish release.
Great work by Captain Alex and the Harvester!
Javier scored again with more great action at the Nosara River Mouth. This Snook and Jack score means filets and ceviche, respectively.
Captain Alex kept the Harvester close to shore on the 17th and scored big.
Kerri Handrigan’s group nabbed the first Rooster fish release came early in the day, and a second found the hooks just before noon.
The third and final Rooster Fish came calling at 1230pm, right before the end of the trip…Three nice trophy releases in just a five-hour trip!
El Jefe Javier Hernandez scored an amazing 15.5kg (35.1 lbs.) Snook at the Nosara River Mouth on the 16th.
Rey Robalo is a conservationist and as such chose to release this monster alive.
Captain David delivered a nice 50+lbs. Amberjack in on May 1 with angler Christine Henkel.
It’s always a fun moment when we can fulfill a dream, and this young man’s fishing dreams came true with this excellent Dorado catch on April 13.
Awesome job by Captain Fico!
