Awesome family fishing today in Asuncion

shari - 8-15-2011 at 06:16 PM

this morning Juan took us all out fishing and it was the perfect trip...



as soon as we got underway, Juan said we should get the rods ready in case we saw some birds....no sooner had our deckhand Surfdoc got the lures tied on, we saw a bunch of birds just off our house at the point so we dropped the lines in and BANG...immediate hookup....a big bonita...great start...then BANG...another hit and Sirena reeled in a nice yellowtail after a tug of war with a sealion...note the big bite out of the belly!



We caught some more bonita and then headed out to SAn Roque Island where BANG, Ariadne hooked another nice yellowtail around 23 pounds.


We kept Stan pretty busy with 6 yellowtail, some bonita and he caught this big barracuda too...then we had a triple hookup of big calico!!!




Izaak paid strict attention to it all


It was my first fishing adventure this season and man, there are fish all over the place...looking real good for this season.

Then we got back in time for the cabalgata arrival into town...stay tuned for photos of this wonderful event...OK gotta go nap for the big dance tonight...the last night we dance till sunrise!!!

Those damn dogs (or lions, or lobos) always go for the guts!!
Stan still never ceases to amaze!
Ask him about the 7 day`er he got Shanghaied on. Went down to the dock to see his buddies off on the Q-105. While Stan was getting drunk, the cook`s helper quit. When Stan woke up, the boat was outside the point, and Stan was the new helper!!! AMAZING BUT TRUE!!!!!

I hope those yellowtail head up to San Diego soon. Hoping to go out in a few weeks, but the numbers aren't there yet...

shari - 8-15-2011 at 08:12 PM

its always the same....we wait and wait and wait and read about everyone elses fish and wring our hands wondering if they will EVER show up...then the fiesa's tournament looms up and still no fish...UNTIL...4-5 days before the tournament when rumours of someone catching one somewhere are whispered about....then BAM...one day they are here and it's fish on everywhere around here....yeah!...whew...finally

yeah Stan's the man all right!

Tuna Tuna, Where are the Tuna. I want Tuna.

What a joy is Izaak.

EVERYTHING is new and fascinating to him.

Enjoy the kid Shari, they move along really quickly.

Skipjack Joe - 8-15-2011 at 09:39 PM

I'd like to catch one of those big log barracuda just to say I did it. They must a lot more fun than their cortez cousins.

BTW, shari, that kid's great. I love that age.

BajaRat - 8-15-2011 at 10:51 PM

That's what he gets for being a DARKSIDER. What would you expect from hanging with that crowd... lol:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

shari - 8-16-2011 at 02:19 PM

that was Stan's reel and Izaak was fascinated by it...especially when it went....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...Juan's yellowtail spooled him right away....pretty exciting stuff.

Today Comitan and Boe4fun took the little tin boat out and caught a bunch of bonita and a yellowtail....happy gentlemen!

the Fiestas have drawn to a close and town is real quiet today...as Juan says...everyone is hungover, tired and out of money!!! They were really fun and it was awesome having Sirena, Isaak and their pals Ariadne & her daughter Ainara here for all the fun.

surfdoc - 8-16-2011 at 02:30 PM

LOL....And thats how my career on the Q105 started .....goodtimes!

All we need is BLUE waterand we will get the YFT and Dorado.. temps in the 70's... but still green water inshore.
Waiting for a small south swell to go down beforerunning the MoJac outside some looking for blue water...

Always great to get kids into fish.

The firetiger rap pictured above CRUSHED the jurel and cabrilla off Punta Concepcion this spring. I headed south with a dozen, six weeks later I returned con nada. No complaints from this pescadero.
