Chis and Charlotte Keane celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a full day of action on the mega panga Harvester.
Captain Alex reports steady bites from Sailfish as the season continues to heat up.
Amazing above-the-water acrobatics from this awesome animal!
This trip also featured a big two-handed Dorado for the dinner table:
Great work by Captain Alex and the mega panga!
The mega panga and anglers Miles Clarkson and Aaron Revere had a mammoth day of Sailfish releases on March 14, with big numbers of big releases.
Miles sent us a very nice message:
“Craig, We had a great day fishing with Alex & Wilson!”
“They were very professional and put us on a bunch of Sails. Love the boat, too.”
“We has a great weak in Nosara and will make sure to recommend you guys to anyone we know heading down there!”
On March 13, the Harvester battled an especially strong Sailfish. This monster fought angler John Preiss on both sides of the mega panga, all the way to a safe release.
John and Alice Hagaman joined the Brent Cockerham group for a blistering day of action on the Harvester, highlighted by a swarm of Rooster Fish releases.
While they were offshore they nabbed several nice Dorados for the dinner table.
The cherry on top of this sundae was this beautiful Rooster Fish release.
Great work by Captain Alex!
The Harvester has been reaping the rewards of the early Spring blue water blitz.
Angler Rachel Gouin and her group wore out the scoreboard with sweet releases. Check out this high-flying monster:
These Sailfish are true sea-monsters, and are full of fight!
The ultimate catches of the trip came with this simultaneous hook-up:
Kenny Strickler and Charley Smith posted an excellent day of Sailfish releases on March 9 with Captain Alex on the Harvester.
Seems like after each release the mega panga had another fired-up Sailfish in the spread ready for action.
The season is getting good when you see big numbers of Sailfish, especially when they are this energetic.
Great work by Mate Wilson to ensure the safe release of these monsters.
On March 8, the mega panga and angler Carl Olson teamed up for a very memorable Sailfish release.
Safe handled and released as usual.
Great work by the Harvester!
Charley Smith and his boys scored lots of Sailfish releases with Captain Alex on March 5.
These monsters were fired-up for the fight and put the crew of the mega panga to the test.
Eight Sailfish releases peppered the scorecard for the Harvester.
Great work by the Harvester!
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.
Shane Wealton treated his father to a Nosara fishing trip in late February, and on the 22nd they filled up the fishbox with lots of Dorados.
The Harvester reports several big Mahi-Mahis, each weighing in at around 30lbs.
Shane put some Instagram filters on the best pics and posted this nice message on social media: “Blessed day with Dad!!!!!!!”
