Still no fishing

Still windy. No fishing. Modelos Negros for breakfast. Gave the cat a bath. Not a happy camper.

pretty soon you'll be able to start brushing your teeth with Noche Buena!

Yea, Had to bail the boat out twice already. Rain since dark o'clock yesterday. Baja and the Bayou have a few things in common, lots of rain not being one of them.:biggrin:

Hope that wind dies down soon or it could get ugly.

Osprey - 12-22-2013 at 02:52 PM

Bubba, glad you're with me on this. I'm just not the kind of person who can just sit around and do nothing. Six, seven months of that and I get reeealy antsy.

Bubba - 12-22-2013 at 03:58 PM

I understand Osprey, I was laid up in bed for 6 weeks awhile back, almost went crazier than I already am. Here's to flat seas and cold beer.

Let's see, we dress up dogs, we dye hummingbirds, one we shampoo the cat, I think the next thing is doing self tattoos.

Sure the hell beats the inverse of that.

Easy Captain, don't be throwing ideas out there.

Osprey - 12-22-2013 at 05:46 PM

Tattoos? Like a tattoo of a big wahoo? I think I can find Lynda's dye, that Ritt stuff, out in the bodega. Don't know where the needles are but I have a couple of rusty push pins (the kind you put on a wall map).

If I just dip the pin the dye, punch it with a rock or something that might work. Not sure how much that hurts. Better check the bodega again to see if I have at least a half gallon of Oso Negro. Hey, thanks Jim. Woo hoo!

I think the cat needed more rinsing. Better yet, do yellowtails like to eat..... nevermind.

Osprey, that was just funny. Thanks for the laugh! That cat looks mighty unhappy.

Funny photo? Sunday was the first day of wind on the east cape for us after thee days of glassy mornings, light wind days, perfect fishing with excellent reports of catches off Barriles of dorado and marlin? I thought you are Ribera?

Osprey - 12-23-2013 at 07:40 AM

Thursday was the one calm day for this part of Palmas Bay. I am in La Ribera and got out that morning and caught 4 sierra, 2 dorado and a marlin. Missed two previous flat mornings cause iwindsurf lied to me.

I pass the predictions on to my Mexican commercial fishing pals and I am often embarrassed when the computer models are way off base and I've told them no fishing when it's flat for a few hours they could have to put to good use. They get good money now for whitefish, pargo and cabrilla.

yep not sure how the fisherman know, but they tend to be right on. strong wind today

vandenberg - 12-23-2013 at 08:23 AM

Wind was howling here in Loreto yesterday and is already starting up this morning.

Bubba - 12-24-2013 at 02:29 PM

Haven't heard from you in a day Osprey, hoping you're fishing and not attempting primitive art work on your body. I'm with you on this, hang tough brother. :biggrin:

Would still rather be in Baja................

Pescador - 12-25-2013 at 09:04 AM

Shoot, the natives in Fiji sharpen up bamboo splinters, dip it in some kind of ink, numb themselves up with some kind of jungle hooch, and then start poking to their hearts content.

In staying with your character, just straighten out an old rusty fish hook, squeeze the barb down, find Lynda's dye, have some extra Oso Negro, and go to work. Start with a small fish and if it is no good, you can absorb the small fish into a bigger fish.

Shoot, if you have enough Oso, I may come down and help you during the wind season.

Osprey - 12-25-2013 at 09:11 AM

Jim, you've inspired me to go native on this thing. The only appropriate ink would be from pulpo so I'll have to dive a little by the marina jetty. A black wahoo will look great on my whatever. I already have a small tatoo. It's just a black dot on my unmentionable --- when I see a pretty lass it says Tupelo, Mississippi 1961.
