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!!!!!!!”
The Robert family stayed near to shore with Captain Alex on the 19th, and they ran the gauntlet of our inshore species. These big red Cubera Snappers are a real treat.
Then the Harvester pulled in this big Pacific Amberjack.
Once the filet bag was filled to the brim, they scored a wonderful trophy fish release with this excellent Rooster Fish:
Inshore or Offshore, the Harvester delivers the goods!
The Harvester delivered the goods for angler Brian Thomas on the 18th. Check out this sweet Dorado score:
On February 12 Erica and Laura Angermeier’s group scored a real fish of a lifetime with Captain Alex reporting this monster Blue Marlin release from the Harvester.
What an amazing creature! Well handled by the crew of the mega panga and live released as always.
The Harvester posted an amazing day on February 8 with Phillip Lommen and Ron Sever each reporting tons of Sailfish releases.
These boys didn’t go home empty-handed; they also piled the fishbox high with lots of excellent Dorados.
John MacDonald signed up for a 5 hour half day on the 7th, and despite the shortened trip Captain Alex still scored a nice array of catches.
After an excellent Sailfish release, John’s group loaded up on Dorado and Yellowfin Tunas.
Just imagine if they had gone out for a full day…still great work by the mega panga.
