Just wanted to thank Juan for a great fishing trip yesterday. The purple rapala was the lure of choice. We caught Tuna, Dorado, Yellowtail and
Cabrilla. The biggest fish was a 40+lb Tuna. Biggest Yellowtail was very close to 30lbs. Had a very nice Dorado spit the lure right next to the boat.
Another very fishy day in all.jorgie - 10-6-2009 at 11:16 AM

wheelchair...neato! Now I know why birdog is so ummmm....adventurous!
We have so enjoyed fishing, swimming in huge waves, dancing, drinking, feasting and laughing till we cried with this wonderful family...even if birdog
DID beat me at backgammon. (I just let him win...jejejeje)
Here they are with a sample of thier wares.

Mucha Garcias to all. It once again is a great day in Asuncion. Good call Cardon those are some tasty margs. Sunman we are missing you and Gunner.
Been a blast too bad we have to head out tomorrow. Already planning our next trip.
Shari's smoked tuna is awesome. Very fishy here again the boat came in loaded down. Wish we had been on it.BirdDog - 10-6-2009 at 05:31 PM
Almost forgot to mention the pleasure of meeting Zac and Gabriel. Great to know we have friends here when we move down.DianaT - 10-6-2009 at 05:54 PM
And it is such a SMALL world----still can't get over the idea that your parents knew our friend from Honduras.
Will miss all of you.

Still laughing about that Dianne. Great to see you guys again.BajaGringo - 10-6-2009 at 09:24 PM
Great Nomad thread - thank you all for sharing...shari - 10-7-2009 at 09:49 AM
Whew...the party animal birdog family finally left so I can get some work done now and dry out!!! We had to siphon gas out of my little red truck to
get them to vizcaino!!
We will sorely miss them all...we laughed so hard all week, my abs are sore.
Here is some of yesterday's booty...some real nice tuna and yellowail. The weather has cooled significantly the last couple days and wind in the
afternoons has returned...but the bite is wide open close to the island.

Bajaboy, we to can't wait to get there at Christmas it has started snowing here today, Glad the fishing was so good for everyone.
big suckers!!!
shari - 10-8-2009 at 04:14 PM
the fish keep getting bigger every day...robert has pulled into the lead with todays fish for biggest YT...and yesterday's biggest tuna which we
smoked up today...yumyum.
They got into some really nice yellowtail today off Asuncion Island and after 15 YT and a big tuna in 3 hours, they called it a day....more smoking
tomorrow...whew.
Good thing Robert caught this bad boy on Juan's rod that had 80 lb test on it....Juan asked me to remind all of you coming down this fall to PLEASE
put 80 lb test on your reels!!
Robert is a huge guy and makes that fish look pretty small!
town is hoppin with fishermen these days much to the delight of the stores, restaurants and beer vendors.
Some fishers took their yellowtail over to gloria at 3 Hermanos and she cooked up a delicious meal for them at her new beachfront restaurant.
Others went to Chemos hotdog/hamburger palapa, while another group was seen gorfing down chile rellenos at Moiras taco stand...lots of great food.
