Craig Sutton and Bill Catsulis took to the Harvester on November 22. Captain Alex reports a few Sailfish releases backed up with a tasty Yellowfin Tuna.
Great work by the mega panga!
Craig finished his three-day campaign on the Harvester with a rod-bending day of action. Our chief mechanic Marino was on the real for this fun Dorado catch.
Later in the afternoon the mega panga hooked up a supercharged Sailfish.
This monster put on a show, but Mate Wilson got the leader and pulled him alongside. The Sailfish spit the hook and escaped safely with the last laugh.
The first day of the season filled the refrigerator with Yellowfin Tuna filets, so on the second day Craig and Javier went hunting for trophy fish.
Javier belted up for the first Sailfish of the day. This crazy beauty was darting back in forth above the water.
After a nice battle she was safely released as always.
Craig was next into the breach and waged an epic battle with a big Blue Marlin.
Dario Hernandez joined his father for this trip and snagged a few sandwich-sized Dorado filets.
This trip was also a training run for Mate Antonio, who most of our clients know as our panga boat driver; he will be assuming the mate’s role on the Explorer this year, and will be training with Captain Alex on the Harvester to continue improving his skills.
After seven lonely months, the 32-foot Harvester is back on the water. It’s been a long road back and we are stoked to get back to action.
Craig Sutton and Antonio were the first anglers up, and they scored multiple Yellowfin Tunas.
They worked over a school of porpoises with live blue runners on the hook, and scored Yella Fellas weighing 54lbs, 35lbs., 30lbs., and 25lbs.
Great work by the team to bring home the bacon!
Frank Wilhelm and Rick Ryals joined Craig for a big day of Yellowfin Tuna catching on August 19.
Captain William of the Wanderer reported great action on the big flagship.
The Harvester blitzed the billfish on May 19, with Craig Sutton reporting a big Blue Marlin release on the mega panga.
In addition, they also released a pair of Sailfish.
Great work by Captain Alex and the People’s Champion Harvester!
Craig Sutton joined up with Captain David on May 17 and they kept busy with bunches of Dorados on deck.
Craig finished up his birthday weekend on the big battleship and Captain Carlos put him on the fish. Check out this big Sailfish release:
Then on February 5th, Yaya Funes capitalized on the early season Dorado run with several nice specimens caught on a morning 5 hour trip.
Then on the 6th John Egan stepped up the the Discoverer and did battle with several nice Sailfish releases.
They also added more of our staple Dorados for the fishbox.
Wanna skip Sea World? Check out this pod of Orca playing around with 32 foot Harvester. You never know what you’ll see offshore of Nosara…Great to see these beauties in the wild.
After this fun nature sighting, the Harvester got down to business with Craig Sutton and Rodger Dwork reporting excellent fishing results.
These Dorados are a treat, but nothing compared to these big swole Yellowfin Tunas:
Great work by Captain Alex and the Mega Panga.
Craig stayed inshore on the 24th and scored two excellent species using live Bonita rigs.
This Cubera Snapper is delightful table fare and should keep everyone fed for the week.
Later in the trip, this Rooster fish managed to hit the hook but miss the Bonita…fortunately the Harvester released this, the dumbest fish on the reef.
Better luck next time, Einstein!
