2018 All Star Calgary Flames goalkeeper Mike Smith traded his blocker pads for fishing reels on April 30 and brought his family to Nosara for some excellent blue water action on April 30.

The whole family got in on the action with many excellent catches.
After several big Dorado scores, Mike deployed the flyrod to nabbed another tasty Mahi.
Great work by this fun group of Canadian anglers
The Harvester kept up the pressure on the 29th with a haul that may put the fish market out of business. Look at this whopper of a Dorado:
This was backed up with some smaller but equally tasty Dorados for the kids.
Naturally the mega panga wasn’t leaving without scoring a nice Sailfish release for the scrapbook.
Great job!
John Jones of New York City joined Captain Alex on the 27th and jammed in as much good fishing as possible into their 5 hour trip.
Multiple Sailfish releases are quite memorable, but they didn’t leave empty handed, as a handful of Yellowfin Tunas provided the meat for the dinner table.
Excellent work by these Upper East Side anglers.
Craig Sutton bests two blue water beasties on April 22. Both safe released as always by Captain Alex.
Captain Alex delivered the good on a late-afternoon 2.5 hour trip with angler Tillman Saylor reporting a great Rooster Fish release.
That’s an amazing score in such a short time. Great work by the Harvester!
On April 19, Graeme Rockett kept up the streak of great inshore action on the Harvester with a sweet Cubera Snapper and followed in up with a nice Rooster Fish release.
With dinner filets in the icebox, the mega panga added to the trophy case with this excellent release:
Miriam Schroers’ family enjoyed all that our inshore fishery has to offer with an amazing performance on April 18.
After an excellent early-morning Cubera Snapper score, these anglers corned a medium-sized Wahoo who drifted a little too close to shore.
It’s unusual to catch a Wahoo this close to shore, but with Captain Alex it’s quite normal to score a nice Rooster Fish release.
Great work by Captain Alex and the Harvester!
Captain Alex kept the Harvester close to shore on the 17th and scored big.
Kerri Handrigan’s group nabbed the first Rooster fish release came early in the day, and a second found the hooks just before noon.
The third and final Rooster Fish came calling at 1230pm, right before the end of the trip…Three nice trophy releases in just a five-hour trip!
Graham McMillan booked only 5 hours with Captain Alex on the 5th, but in this short time still scored crazy Dorado action.
Who says chicken can’t fly? These Dorados were fired up and flying all over the place!
It’s a great sign to see these big Dorados showing up in massive numbers as we start our second high season.
Captain Alex kept scoring late into the month with a great run of Sailfish releases.
Nice work by Mate Wilson on the safe handling release of these monsters.
Big Dorados have returned to the Nosara area, and Captain Alex is on the scene to haul these bad boys in.
