Karen Lawrence and her family enjoyed multiple Sailfish releases on July 9th and 10th.
After the trophy releases the Mega Panga set the Lawrence family up with spinning tackle and mugged a school of nice Yellowfin Tunas.
The next day Captain Alex went to the same spot for more great Sailfish action:
On July 10 Captain William headed offshore to Sailfish City and nabbed four lovely releases.
It’s great to see that the Sailfish have returned in numbers and that they are hungry!
They finished off the day with this juvenile Sailfish release. We’ll see this little fella again in about a year when he is all grown up.
The Discoverer scored an excellent Sailfish release on July 10, with Captain Fico of the Explorer filling-in at the mate position.
Great work by the big battleship and angler Mike Hollis.
The Wanderer delivered a fun memorable trip for angler Mike Hollis and his group with a scorecard marked up with Marlin, Sailfish, and Yellowfin Tuna.
After an early Yellowfin Tuna, this Striped Marlin came in after a feisty battle.
She weighed at only 100lbs. but fought like a tiger.
Later in the day the flagship scored a second billfish release with this sweet Sailfish.
Even though it’s Yellowfin Tuna season, that didn’t stop Captain Carlos from walloping this awesome Dorado on July 8:
Backed up with some more reasonably sized Yellowfin Tunas, this was a excellent haul for the Discoverer.
Harold Thomas did great on the Mega Panga with July 7th producing a wonderful haul of Yellowfin Tunas.
With the icebox full, Captain Alex returned to Sailfish City for more excellent releases.
Captain David continued to dominate the inshore water in mid-July with a trip highlighted by 20+ Yellowfin Tuna and a big Jack Crevalle on ice.
Nick Czerok’s group had a great send off with Captain Alex reporting nice Rooster Fish and Sailfish releases.
Here’s what Nick had to say on Facebook: “I’d like to welcome Jess to the billfish club. Released her first pacific sailfish today. She also did her first triple header. First yellowfin tuna, first rooster-fish and first sailfish. And as tradition, I made her jump in the water after the sail. Another great day in Costa Rica.”
Mike Winner had a big day on the Discoverer as Captain Carlos kept them on the fish all day long.
Nice work by Mate Kevin (on loan from the Harvester) handling the safe release of this monster Sailfish.
The Explorer welcomed Angie Stagg and her group for blue water battle featuring a beautiful Sailfish release backed up with some tasty Yellowfin Tunas:
