Captain William welcomed Clark Smith and his group for a great adventure on December 8.
This big Dorado was the headliner of the show, and put the mighty flagship to the test.
After that success, more big Dorados peppered the spread throughout the day.
It’s so great to see the size on these Mahi this early in the season.
Captain Alex is always ready to embrace a new fishing challenge, so when fly-fishing enthusiast Mike Williams chartered on December 8 the Harvester was ready for the challenge.
Captain Alex retracted the outrigger and Mate Kevin worked a teaser bait until Mike offered the fly to this big Dorado:
After this excellent catch, Team Williams turned to the conventional tackle and loaded up on a multitude of big Dorados.
That’s three nice smiles right there!
Great work by the crew of the mega panga!
Stanley Green and his buddies knocked in out of the park on the 7th with a massive haul of big Dorados.
The Harvester got on a great run in early-December and Alex’ clients were all smiles.
The Explorer grabbed the biggest Dorado of the season so far with angler Matt Baden.
This monster is a true deck-sweeper and was backed up by a few more beasts.
They also scored an amazing Rooster Fish release.
Great work by the masterful Captain Fico!
The Harvester kept up the Yellowfin Tuna action on the 6th with several more nice scores:
They also boated this excellent Dorado:
The Harvester welcomed Julia Thompson and her friends for a fun day of action, punctuated by a nice Dorado score.
Then they found a swarm of tasty football-sized Yellowfin Tunas.
These are the perfect size for firm Ahi steaks.
Great work by Captain Alex and the mega panga Harvester!
John Hickson and his posse had a marvelous day on the Discoverer with multiple Sailfish releases, including several multi-hookups.
Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin did a wonderful job of keeping these monsters from hurting themselves during the battles, and safely released them as always.
A swarm of Dorados and Yellowfin Tunas will help this group replenish themselves for more fishing.
Greatjob by the big battleship Discoverer!
The flagship went out with Dan Johnson again on the 3rd, and this time they began by adding to the Dorado haul.
Then Dan belted up for a spirited Sailfish battle.
Late in the day the Wanderer scored a beefy Yellowfin Tuna to add variety to the dinner table.
Our good friends Patrick and Mike McGoey drove down from Samara for a day trip with Captain Alex, and their adventurous spirit was rewarded with nine nice Dorados and four beefy Yellowfin Tunas.
The Dorados were stacked up like firewood and their hunger led to several multiple hook-ups.
John Hickson returned to the battleship the next day and upped the ante with more great meat fish.
A big Dorado is a nice follow-up to the previous day’s catch, plus a nice Yellowfin Tuna (rare for this time of year) adds variety.
The final catch of the day was also the highlight; This small Blue Marlin release was a great send off to a fun day of fishing.
