Paul Reynolds and his posse took Sailfish City by storm with Captain Alex leading the way for a landmark day of billfish releases.
The highlight was this wonderful Double Sailfish release, expertly coordinated by Mate Kevin in the cockpit.
After the double, the Sailfish got charged up and lined up for their turn to be released.
Great consistent action all day for theย Harvester.ย
They even added some meat for the fishbox with a handful of Yellowfin Tunas:
Our friend Josh Droegemueller and his group scored some nice Sailfish releases with Captain William on board the flagship Wanderer.
Once again the Wanderer proves that she is the most consistent boat in Central America.
Great work by the famous flagship!
The Harvester welcomed Aaron Golub on July 21 and they capitalized on the recent insurgance of hard biting Sailfish.
Captain Alex scores again backed up by a clean safe release by Mate Kevin. Great work!
Anthony Johnson rocked the house on the Harvester with a hybrid inshore/offshore pair of trips for the memories.
These big mean Sailfish were hungry when Captain Alex found them, challenging Mate Kevin to bill and release them safely.
The next day they stayed inshore and gathered live bait for a deep water hunt:
In the afternoon they headed inshore and fought Snappers on spinning tackle.
What a haul by Mr. Johnson!
The Explorer has cemented a reputation as a true catch-all vessel; in late July the barroom brawler scored every major type and species of fish in our stretch of water.
As usual the Pacific Sailfish have been thick and Captain Fico has been there to capitalize.
Also offshore the Super Panga found some excellent Yellowfin Tuna.
The action was hot inshore as well, with Amberjack and big Cubera Snappers on ice plus lots of beautiful Rooster fish releases:
Raul Arteaga and his family are a fun-loving bunch of anglers from the Lone Star state, and they had a big time on the Harvester with Captain Alex.
After several awesome Sailfish releases, the Mega Panga came inshore and bested this excellent Cubera Snapper.
The Wanderer welcomed Nick Palumbo and his family for a great day of hybrid inshore / offshore action on July 15.
This big Cubera Snapper was scored early in the trip near to shore.
In the afternoon Captain William headed out to Sailfish City and found a swarm of high-flying Sailfish.
Adrian Paredes and his group had a big day with Captain William reporting seven Sailfish release on their July 13 trip.
Nice work by Mate Johnson to keep these fights short and sweet leading to safe releases.

Later on they moved inshore and nabbed two swole Cubera Snapper:
