Herb and Sally Pittman joined up with Captain Fico for an afternoon of inshore action on March 18.
The early bite consisted of Dorado and Jack Crevelle, and then Sally finished it off with a nice Cubera Snapper.

Chris and Charlotte Keane joined the Harvester on March 17 and just five hours of fishing loaded up on a lifetime’s worth of great catches.

Henrik Fruelund came to us all the way from Europe to ply the blue waters off of Nosara. He selected the mega panga and they got down to business quickly.
The pelagics were fired up and each put on a tailwalking above-the-water display on the way to the safe releases.
Fantastic work by Mate Kevin and Captain Alex to ensure the safe survival and release of these sportfish.
They returned the next day (February 24) for more firefights with fierce Sailfish.
Once again the Harvester was up to the challenge, and successfully fought several Sailfish.
All of this billfish battling can cause one to work up quite and appetite…thankfully they added a big Dorado for the dinner table.

New Jersey angler Jack Herzlinger was super-excited to get fishing after purchasing his trip 18 months ago at the Saltwater Sportsman Expo in Edison, NJ.
Turns out it was worth the wait as the Harvester reports several super Sailfish releases.
They also added some tasty Dorados for the dinner table.
As a final send-off, they scored a wonderful Rooster Fish release for the trophy room. First they picked up this big Bonita:
Then they put a hook in the Bonita and sent it to the bottom, where this monster Rooster fish engulfed it.
Great job by Jack Herzlinger and the mega panga Harvester!
