    Default Check this out!!

    We (as in Bill & Edwin ) finally found the gold mine. After being on the water for 3 days and only a few roosters, jacks and skippies
    The went to the '88" and found what we've been looking for for the past 8 weeks. And to top it off, no trollers, no other boats out there. They are always the first one off the beach in the morning and this morning instead of burning a lot of gas going to where the bait is, they waited 45 minutes for the bait guys to show up. Then headed out to the horizon. They had checked a lot of buoys yesterday but ventured a little further. At one buoy, they hit it. I think there were 4 dorado around the 20lb size, one a little smaller and the GRANDE. Edwin hooked up first and fought his for a while then Bill made a short cast to a smaller dorado but the GRANDE had something else in mind. He ate the fly and it was off to the races. It took Bill an all the better of an hour to land his fish. It weighed 48lbs on the scale. Edwin's fish was 20+lbs


    Nice Dorado.....


    Edwin's 20lb dorado


    Three Amigo's

    Efren took that BIG dorado home to show his wife. He said she has never seen a dorado of that size. Then it's going to be shared with the whole family.

    There's a big fishing tournament going on and the rest of this week. Today there were 12 boats and tomorrow there might be 20 boats. Even with all the boats, it's still not as crowded as Loreto in July.

    MMMMM...MMMMM.... We're having fresh dorado tonight with a platter of cevichi.

    I'm still trying to get his heart beating again. I think his jaw is tired from smiling ear to ear.
    What a great dinner we had.
    Their mission for tomorrow, more dorado on the menu for my manager. Right now it looks like it's going to rain
    Some big clouds move in. The wind is doing it's nightly thing, blowing hard
