We've been here for a week and haven't gone out fishing yet.....I've had to settle for fishing from the beach......such a sacrifice........dt
Quite a hand full on my "Baja bass rod"....rpleger - 3-25-2009 at 11:09 AM

def. UFO, unidentified fishing (fishy) object; invariably a claim backed up by very blurry photos/video. See fisherman, tall tales.
Not to call names or make accusations, but what were the conditions, dates you were UFOing and how did you cook them? Let's have the.... REST OF THE
STORY!Russ - 3-25-2009 at 11:39 AM
You show the 2nd one and no ride in Bubba for you.

Ok mac, you got me. It's really a cardboard cut out of a fish.....
Actually, they were Jack Creval in the 25lb class. I usually carry my camera but in my haste to get down to the beach after seeing a school on
mackerel come out of the water I forgot it. My lovely wife took the pictures from the deck of our condo and they get blurry when I try to zoom in on
them. I caught them on a Rapala Sub Walk lure but the way they were going after the mackerel a beer can probably would have worked. I caught them
yesterday around 1:00 pm and released them. Don't care much for Jack Creval as a table fish, besides, I didn't want to clean them.
Anybody that knows me knows that I wouldn't make up or embelish a fish story...........ok, I lied that time......dt

The lieing thing gets to be a habit I guess. I used to lie so much that one time my pals caught me telling the truth and I lied my way out of it. That
cured me. No more lies now.Pescador - 3-25-2009 at 12:18 PM
My daddy always said that when it comes to fishing, never let the truth get in the way of a great story.castaway$ - 3-25-2009 at 02:06 PM
Nice Jacks, what is a Rapala Sub Walk? I don't think I've heard of that one and I'm a big Rapala fan.dtbushpilot - 3-25-2009 at 02:12 PM
Thanks for the link, I use a smaller version for smallmouth on the John Day and it kills them at the right time of the year. Which color/pattern do
you find the best?dtbushpilot - 3-25-2009 at 02:48 PM
I've had good luck with the silver. The Jacks were caught on a gold. I brought a few down in the 6" size but haven't tried them out yet. They cast
well, the only thing that I don't like are the hooks. They are pretty light weight and need to be checked and re-bent after catching a large
fish.....dtDT.IN.LB.BAJA - 3-25-2009 at 03:13 PM

big jacks
mulegemichael - 3-25-2009 at 05:00 PM
yeah, the east cape is all about huge jacks...sometimes they get in the way..of the pez gallos...osprey...here's one of the locals!...actually, one
of my favorite guys to fish with down there; alonzo is muy mexicano and i just roll with the punches..i enjoyed him and his family and they brought
joy to my life...and monster jacks!...and roosters!..the cape is awesome1

Are the jack's good to eat?dtbushpilot - 3-25-2009 at 08:43 PM
The locals like them but I don't care for the taste. Guess a lot depends on how it's prepared. I had some caldo pescado that was made with a jack that
I gave to my neighbor and it was very good. Maybe next time I catch one I will try my "carp on a cedar plank" reciepe......dtshari - 3-26-2009 at 12:12 PM
whoa amigo!!!! nice fish dude....so glad you are into fish there and enjoying your holiday...guess you wont have to make chicken a la washing machine
tub like we did in San Roque!dtbushpilot - 3-26-2009 at 05:15 PM
Hey Shari, that "chicken a la washing machine tub" was pretty good, better than "jacks a la cedar plank". I still haven't decided if I should post a
bar-b-que report with pictures or not. None of us look to be at our photographic best.
Maybe I'll let the other Nomads decide.......anybody out there in Nomadland want to see dirty pictures of San Roque yard bird?....dtSkip_Mac - 3-28-2009 at 10:29 AM
dtbushpilot, The facts back you up...Thanks for the details, Your story and fishing credibility are four star with me. Keep up the good work (even
though I turn green with envy every time I read a good fishing post). Feeling Baja deprived in Alta California...mulegemichael - 3-28-2009 at 10:44 AM
