Returning FishingNosara Hall of Famer Dennis Paul brought his family for a blue water campaign onboard the mighty Wanderer.
Three early Sailfish releases got things rolling.
Team Paul added several nice Yellowfin Tunas to their haul:
The clear highlight was this Double Sailfish release; Great work by Captain William and the mighty flagship!
Kathy and Steve Cartier finished off their record-setting week of fishing with a sweet Double Sailfish release on March 28.
After the tricky Double release, the big battleship also delivered a couple more Sailfish catches.
The send off for Team Cartier was this excellent Dorado; perfect for the end of week dinner!
The Explorer delivered the catch-of-a-lifetime for this fun fishing family on March 25.
Double Sailfish releases are tricky, but Mate Johnny stayed calmed and ensured the safe release of both fish.
Great work by Captain Fico and the Explorer!
On March 25, Steve Carlson and his kids posted a very memorable day on board the Discoverer. This Double Sailfish release is the highlight.
Great work to release all billfish by Mate Kevin, including this handful of other Sailfish catches later in the day.
The Discoverer and Steve Putbrese lit it up on March 20 with several sweet Sailfish releases, highlighted by a wonderful Double Sailfish release:
Excellent fish-handling by Mate Kevin to ensure that all billfish were properly released alive and well.
A Double Sailfish release was reported by Donna Finley’s group on their March 19th trip on the Discoverer.
Fantastic work by Captain Carlos!
On February 19, Florida angler Susan Delosh and her party pulled off one of fishing’s most difficult feats…the Double Sailfish release!
Excellent job by Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin to ensure the safe release of both of these monsters. Another solo Sailfish came calling later in the trip, once again to a safe release.
Great work by the big battleship Discoverer.
The Discoverer is powering through the so-called rainy season with a great day of fishing with angler Ken Burns on September 6. The highlight of the day was this beautiful Blue Marlin.
They also scored a nice Double Sailfish release:
They added one more Sailfish near the end of the trip.
Amazing work by big battleship Discoverer!
Captain Alex entered the closing stretch of the white-hot August bite with a wonderful Blue Marlin release on the 25th.
Angler Stuart Smith bested this bad boy, and it was just the beginning of a banner day.
Captain Alex handled the safe release, complete with his signature move: the Kiss Goodbye:
A big Yellowfin Tuna came along, and then a nice team of Dorados also found the fishbox.
As if there arms weren’t worn out by this time, a paid of late-day Sailfish came calling and fought bravely all the way to the safe releases.
Awe-inspiring day on the water by the mega panga Harvester!
The Sailfish swarmed during early August, and Captain Alex led the charge with an excellent seven release day on August 9.
This Double Sailfish release was quite a challenge, but Mate Wilson coordinated with Captain Alex wonderfully and kept these fish separate and safe.
The sustained Sailfish attack continued all morning and the crew chalked up the scoreboard several times.
Great work to keep these fights short and sweet, ensuring the safety and survival of the fish.
A man can work up quite a hunger with all this action, so wouldn’t it be nice to catch something to eat?
Yes….yes it is.
This monster deck-sweeping Dorado even impressed Captain William on the Wanderer (see backround), who came by to see for himself.
Amazing day by the mega panga!
