Bill Elm had a terrific day with Captain Alex on the Harvester with lots of Sailfish releases backed up by some fat Dorados.
An early Sailfish release about 5 miles from shore set the tone, then the first big Dorados came through the spread.
More rowdy Sailfish came calling in the afternoon, but Bill and the boys were ready for them.
Great fish-handling as always by Mate Kevin.
The Harvester has already shattered expectations and we can’t wait to see what she will do next!
Returning client Bill Elms joined Captain Alex for a full day of action which included several Sailfish releases backed up a big dinner-time Dorado.
Tasty filets on deck for Bill!
Captain Fico has been kicking fish butt on the Explorer, exemplified by this fat Dorado scored in late January:
Yummy!
The Wanderer continues her consistent fishing with a nice Dorado and a Sailfish release.
Unfortunately this Dorado managed to snap one of our rods, but you can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.
Nice work by this fun fishing family!
The consistent off-season action continues as the Explorer reports more Sailfish and Dorado scores with client Randy Trent.
The Explorer struck again on October 20 with client Randy Trent.
Two Sailfish releases and two Dorado on ice…that’s a heckuva nice trip!
Randy Trent also joined the Explorer for off-season action on October 18 and got things started right with a nice Sailfish release.
Then they filled the fishbox with a pair of meaty Dorados. MMMMmmmm!
The Explorer finished of the month with a hot streak of great catches. This Marlin scored by Tyler Hawes is clearly the leader of the pack:
Then the barroom brawler started racking up Sailfish releases by the bunches.
It’s wasn’t just trophy releases being scored by the Super panga; Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin also filled up the icebox with Dorado and Yellowfin Tuna:
Also, local diver Gustavo Villalobos Jiménez took a quick ride out of the bay and dove down for a pair of tasty Langostas (lobsters):
Fantastic action from the baddest 26-foot boat in the country!
Buz Underill and his family started their week of fishing with a blast of blue water action.
First up was this 30lbs. Dorado gobbled up by their youngest angler.
Then is was Pop’s turn to duel a Dorado, and he scored the fish of the day with this 60+lbs. Mahi:
It’s always a treat to see a youngster holding a fish that most likely outweighs him.
The grown-ups took over in the afternoon with a nice Sailfish release.
Excellent hunting by Captain William backed up by superb fish-handling by the incomparable First Mate Alex.
The Explorer closed out the month strong…fresh on the heels of several Marlin releases, they continued to score multiple Sailfish releases in late July:
Also they snagged a sweet Dorado for the dinner table:
