Captain Alex has finished off-season maintance for the Harvester and took advantage of a break in the weather on October 10 to return to the blue water.
Sam and Missy Morrow’s group nagged this excellent Sailfish release, then followed up with a nice stack of Dorados.
Craig Sutton closed out the season on the 27th with a fantastic inshore Rooster Fish battle.
Safe released as always. Great work by Captain Alex and the People’s Champion Harvester.
The Harvester continued to post constient results well into late August. Check out this nice Sailfish release:
The Harvester found action close to shore on the 18th, catching and releasing this juvenile Rooster Fish.
Jacksonville anglers Rob Coxey and David Borries performed brilliantly on their first day of fishing on August 17.
Multiple Sailfish releases were augmented with a nice selection of Dorados and Yellowfin Tuna.
Look out for this dynamic duo to continue to score this week.
Frank Wilhelm posted an amazing stack of Dorado scores on August 16.
Great work by these North Florida anglers.
Captain Alex reports that the biggest of these was well over 50lbs.
The Harvester welcomed Frank Wilhelm and his son for a fantastic day of rod-bending action on August 15.
Captain Alex and Mate Wilson were busy all day long with multiple sweet Sailfish releases.
Frank also added some nice Dorados for the fishbox.
Excellent work by the People Champion Harvester.
Jerome McKown and Billy Meeks concluded their Rooster Fish Round-up on the 1th.
Billy managed to catch and release one more Pez Gallo to round out their fishing adventure.
Billy Meeks and Jerome McKown were back for more on the 9th. Let’s hear Jerome’s account:
Another great day of fishing in Nosara, Costa Rica.
My good fishing partner and friend Billy Meeks had an amazing day on the water with Fishing Nosara on the Harvester with Capt. Alex.
We started the day with Billy catching and landing a 7’ sailfish. We actually saw him strike and eat the surface bait. Pretty cool for sure.
Then I was able to catch another rooster fish.
Good fight beautiful colors on this fish.
Later this afternoon Billy was able to catch and land another Rooster Fish. His fish was definitely bigger than mine; 48lbs
Within 10 minutes from Billy’s release I popped another rooster fish. It was a monster. The granddaddy of the rooster fish. We able to see him briefly before he broke the hook. Capt. Alex estimated to be nearly 70 lbs.😡
All I could think of was the movie…Grumpy Old Men and how they were always trying catch.. “Catfish Hunter”…
So another day is in the books. We were able to photo and release these magnificent fighters for another day.
We laughed hard, fished hard, and now we have wonderful memories of today’s events which will last forever in our mind and heart…
We not fishing tomorrow, but come Wednesday let me just say.. Catfish hunter rooster we are coming for you.. Game on. Lol. Wish us luck on our final day fishing this paradise called Nosara, Costa Rica..🎣🦵🏾🤙
Tight lines,
Capt. J
Texas angling legends Jerome McKown and Billy Meeks have joined forces to wallop the fish of the general Nosara area.
On August 7, Captain Alex kept the Harvester near-shore, and Jerome scored this solid Rooster fish release.
Not to be outdone, Billy Meeks bested one of the biggest Red Groupers we have ever seen. This leviathan’s strength was sufficient to snap one of our spinning rods in half, but Billy didn’t give up the fight.
Great work by the mega panga and these Lone Star anglers!
