Russell Brewster struck again with an offshore haul that included a big Dorado and some nice Yellowfin Tuna on ice backed up by a super Sailfish releases.
Captain Alex has the Harvester dialed-in and her late season performance his year has been staggering.
Excellent work by the Mega Panga.
The Harvester found gold with Craig Sutton nabbing a 150+lbs. Yellowfin Tuna on August 12.
Craig casted for this monster over a pod of spinning porpoises and brought him home with an efficient 25 minute fight on a Penn Slammer spinning reel.
It’s rare to see a fish the Captain Alex can’t lift off the deck, but this one fits the bill.
Fellow anglers Kim and Lloyd Michael were on board and scored an excellent Sailfish release, plus added their own meat with a 50+ lbs. Dorado.
Great day on the Mega Panga!
Rusty McClain, our new friend from Texas, stayed inshore on the 4th and boated a HUGE Cubera Snapper.
Tasty Snapper filets coming right up, along with a side order of sandwich-sized Dorado:
Javier and some of the Nosara Paradise Rentals staff put up the “Gone Fishing” sign in the office and take the afternoon to enjoy some family fishing on the Wanderer.
Dario nabbed this sandwich-sized Dorado, and then Yosef boated a nice Cubera Snapper.
However the boys were beat out by this monster Snapper:
Meanwhile over on the Explorer Captain Fico celebrated his birthday with his young son bending a rod with this Yellowtail Snapper:
Great family fun for the staff!
After a giant day of Sailfish releases on the Mega Panga, Paul Reynolds group moved up to the flagship and Captain William led them from Sailfish City to the land of El Dorado!
These MASSIVE Mahi-Mahi are a welcome treat…always great to have lots of filets on ice.
Later in the day the Wanderer lined up a run at more Sailfish, with Mate Johnson successfully billing and releasing this nice monster:
The Discoverer welcomed back returning client Paul Worthington for a nice day of Yellowfin Tuna conquering. Check out this beastie:
Later in the trip Donna Bowler caught 40lb Dorado pictured with her husband Steve.
Then Paul finished off the trip with a 250lb Blue Marlin.
Fantastic job by Captain Carlos on the big battleship!
Art and Christine Jones got their week of fishing off to a fast start with the Harvester reporting a swarm of sweet Sailfish releases.
Check out the above-the-water action from these fired-up high-flyers:
After the early run of Sailfish releases they hooked into this meaty Dorado estimated to weigh 30lbs.
With dinner taken care of, the Jones crew went back to trophy fish hunting:
Around mid-day they hooked-up a hunting pair of Sailfish. Mate Kevin did an excellent job to coordinate both fights and ensure safe releases.
They followed up with another double hookup, but this time one spit the hook and escaped.
The Discoverer leads the team in Grand Slams this year, and on May 21 close to notching the scorecard with another one.
Joined by client Jennifer Engle, Captain Carlos nabbed two Blue Marlins, and two Sailfish.
For good measure they also added a Dorado for the dinner table.
Fantastic work by Jennifer Engle and the Discoverer.
Jay Thompson is one of our best clients and has fished on the Wanderer since we first put her in the water seven years ago.
After a nice early Sailfish release, these Florida anglers scored a bunch of big Dorados for the fishbox.
Tough-as-nails Texas angler Mike Mininni and his group had a big day of action on the Wanderer on May 5.
The Sailfish were fired up, and even when the skies opened up these folks weren’t scared to fight fish in the rain!
The rain subsided in the afternoon and these Texans scored more Sails and Dorados to round out the day.
