It's a shame that a healthy, and sustainable (if harvested correctly) protein source gets decimated due to a lack of regulation. Same old song, I know.

Sip, same old song indeed BajaBreak.

Yet I respect commercial fisherman and the tough task they perform of providing protein to people who cannot capture or raise their own protein. Regulation and enforcement are symbiotic, mutually dependent and fail when not in the presence of each other. Not much one can do about that in a country where people are voiceless, especially foreigners, except vote with your money.

However, still hope that someday Baja "sportfishing" operators would include in their services a program of proper care for the catch after it is on the boat. Insulated fish bags, well froze ice, brine solution and proper handling of the catch would enhance their operations and contribute to better reviews and better eating fish. Fresh fish properly cared for is only available to small percentage of people and should be valued for the great food it is.

On a side note the BFT are still around, still as hard to catch as ever and it seems they have been teaching the YFT how to act similarly. Two days in a row, Saturday and Sunday, found nice schools of good size 40-60 lb yft which were dialed in on micro anchovies and could not get them to go on sardines, jigs or macs. Which is why when we do catch some we do not waste the good luck.
