Troy Smith, Michelle Urso, Gus Harrison, and Cheryl Bluerock scored a ‘fourfecta’ of Sailfish releases with Captain Alex and Mate Kevin on the Harvester.
Ms. Bluerock is a pro photographer and put some really neat filters on these shots.
They also brought home dinner with this awesome Yellowfin Tuna.
Great work by the mega panga!
FishingNosara Hall of Famer TJ Conrads returned to Nosara with his wife Robin along with Kevin and Karen Bahr. They chose the Wanderer and scored a boatload of sweet fish filets.
Captain William located a massive school of spinning porpoises and the fish were excited to escape the cetaceans…right into the flagship’s fishbox!
In all they scored six Yellowfin Tuna averaging 20lbs., three small Dorado and a nice 20lbs. Dorado.
Here is what Kevin posted on Facebook: “We went with Captain William and his assistant,
The Harvester had a perfect day of inshore / offshore combo action, starting with a wonderful Rooster fish released inshore:
Then Captain Alex moved offshore to stalk the recently abundant Yellowfin Tunas with great success:
As the month continued our area was beset by gigantic meat fish.
Fighting these guys on Penn spinning tackle is a world of fun, and the filets are top-notch.
After this Yellowfin Tuna score, the Harvester dug in on one of the biggest Bull Dorados of the year to date.
This hatchet-headed monster was no match for the mega panga!
Our old pal Paul Ewald returned for a fun week of fishing on his favorite boat: the 23′ Adventurer with the unstoppable Captain David.
This fat Yellowfin Tuna is just a taste of the great action delivered by the inshore switchblade.
Gene and Betty Baker scored the fish-of-a-lifetime on the 13th with Captain Alex and Mate Kevin.
This big bad Black Marlin put on a show as she came into the boat, but Captain Alex’ boat handling skill kept the fight short and safe.
Excellent fish handling by Mate Kevin means that we’ll see this monster again in the future.
Later in the morning Betty brought home dinner with this excellent Yellowfin Tuna.
Ian Jones brought home the bacon with this excellent Yellowfin Tuna score with Captain Alex on April 11.
Looks pretty tasty!
Bob Rhinehart came to the Explorer looking to fill the fish box, and he got as that he asked for.
The big filets came in the form of big Yellowfin Tuna backed up a fat Dorado…excellent work!
Bob returned the next day for another foray into the blue water. The bite was slow early in trip, but heated up in a big way in the afternoon.
This Dorado hit at 4:45pm and even though it was late, Captain Fico knew they were on the right spot.
Less than an hour later this Striped Marlin took the bait at 5:25pm
From striking out to hitting a home run all within one hour…persistence pays!
The offshore bite has been heating up, and Captain Carlos has been stalking his offshore prey in the big battleship Discoverer.
A day after scoring this big Sailfish release, he returned to the offshore blue water and piled up some nice Yellowfin Tuna filets:
The Discoverer welcomed returning FishingNosara Hall of Famer Dewey Gile for a fun day of action on the 15th which yielded these tasty filets:
