Tuna times in Asuncion...Woody's da man!
Nomad Woody finally arrived safe but with some trashed boards...I'll let him tell that tale...so no surf for him but yesterday he and his wife and
Boe4fun set out to find tuna.
They fished thier faces off all morning in perfect conditions, calm, no swell, clear water and dolphins and fish everywhere. They limited out on nice
tuna, yellowtail and calico...with MS.Woody catching the biggest fish...a yellowfin around 50 lbs...that Juan Carlos had to bring in by hand when her
line got a birds nest.
They were happy Nomads but pretty tuckered out! and celebrated their outstanding fishing adventure with Yellowtale Ales!
The campground ladies enjoyed a gorgeous day of shore fishing at San Roque and caught nice Corbina and halibut.

Looks like great fishing in Asuncion right now!
Sheri, there is a chance a buddy and I will be heading your way this next weekend. I was wondering if there is a freezer available in town to freeze
up fillets while we're down there?

THANKS SHARI FOR HAVING US AT YOUR SLICE OF HEAVEN. WE'LL BE RETURNING....
after a 12.5 hour run for the border we crossed at 7:30 pm last night. 5.5 hours of sleep and i'm back in 29 palms. i LOVE driving. fishing was off
the hook, we only blew up one reel on that 50 pounder that Juan Carlos hoisted aboard.
as for the boards.... about 50 miles north of LA Bay turn off i noticed the big black bungee cord hook wasn't visible in the mirror! RUTROW!!!!!
luckily about 8 miles back we came upon two cars parked in the southbound lane fighting the 40 mph winds to get my boards in their trunks. guys with
fishing poles were heading for GN. after grabbing my boards outta their trunks (they musta thought i was a maniac!) one guy layed on the boards on the
roof of the camper (mucho winds) while i restrapped them down. i borrowed some rope from an older couple a few miles down the road. i forgot to get
their names, but they finally arrived in BA that evening.
one fin box is broken out of the longboard. the deck of the 8'6" landed on a rock the size of a big fist and pushed 1/2 through the deck buckling a
fin in the process. i haven't had the heart to actually take them out of their board bags yet but i imagine it won't be pretty.....
did i mention the fishing was UNREAL? and Shari has a real 1st class operation going on.....
THANKS FOR A GREAT 5 NIGHTS!!!

thanks Woody...glad you made it home safe and sound with all that fish....you guys are the bomb!! these 2 KNOW how to camp...ya shoulda seen the disco
ball they had in their princess tent!!
sorry about the boards but hey...there wasnt any surf last week anyway!
Your neighbour and camp queen Shelley has been shore fishing twice a day since you left...she now even baits her own hook and does her own casts.
Check out this fat corbina she caught this morning 5.5 lbs...she's the corbina queen now too....she's hooked!!

Getting yellowtail and bonito from a kayak must be a blast (er ... I mean, thrilling).

yep.
a question was posed after the adrenalin rush subsided a bit. if the guys finding the boards had got them but were heading north, how far do you chase
a ghost? with all of the sheer cliffs it would have been really agonizing trying to decide to keep heading north chasing a ghost instead of really
looking over the edges everytime..... who knows?
with hundreds of trips into baja since 9th grade, i guess i was due. at least i got them back.
i'll try to post some fish pics this weekend or next week.
