Today's Photos - A day on the water
Another great Baja day on the SOC...nothing too hectic, just relaxing, fishing, daydreaming, and taking photos for the helluva-it.
My present to all poor souls who are land-locked today..hope you enjoy these:
...daydreaming time....
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

OK, so what's the deal with Isla Coiba, Panama?
I was at Club Pacifico there in 1975 with a rock musician (too famous to mention) and could not believe the FISHING!!
Wow, that was some vacation.......snorkeling with a "shark stick" warhead!
Love the photos

The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

When's the big move? I'm sure gonna miss the present day photo lineups. But I guess you'll have to inspire via pics to move to Panama.

Hola Loretana,
Panama is my first port of call after selling my Baja home. Primarily for the great fishing..as you know. Costa Rica, Belize, and Ecuador were
candidates, but the climate and culture on the NW side of Panama are best for my tastes, also...sea breezes to my hammock, short runs to Hannibal
Banks, beach cafes for good talks & times, you know the drill.
I have made a few exporatory trips there in the last 2 years..and will return this June.

Rock musican and bang-sticks, eh? Those were the days...I played a guitar for a while back in the day.
Panama is my next Baja..for lots of good reasons.

Hola chuckie,
Nope, I am fairly sure John and Jim caught those jurel on live bait rigs like we normally do...that jigging is sooo much work! (Update to that..just
yakking with John and he had no luck with live bait...so they switched to jigs...yup, jigs.) They found them north of Sta. Inez..at the hole called
The Ranch...between Pta. Chivato and San Marcos Island.
Me? I went south...shucks. My excuse...hmm...how about this: "I wanted to kick back and contemplate the universe."...or "My compass went
haywire??"
There's always 'manana'.....

Pompano,
Good choice! I loved the month I spent down there.
And my British rocker buddy bought a nice chunk of a very private island, Jicaron, just south of Isla Coiba. He was a shrewd investor, and probably
still owns the place......
Man, we had a lotta hair back then......

Panama!!
I just got an email from a couple of Seattle fishing buddies who are currently fishing ’ Wahoo Alley’ near Coiba Island and Jicaron now……scoring
200lb+ tuna and many wahoo in the 60-70lb range. They caught and released 5 marlin in the last week, even though the billfish season is winding down.
Carumba! It really gripes me to listen to their complaints of being overworked catching and releasing all the marlin, sails, tuna, mahi mahi,
dogtooth snappers, trevally, amberjacks, roosterfish, and whatevers!!
His humor being a mite sharp and sadistic, Mike wonders if I’m still hunting for that whopper 25” pinto bass over there in Mulege? I immediately sent
this back:
“Buttcrack! My turn is coming!”
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.
