Still here in Asuncion
We went out yesterday with Juan and Juan to see if there were any Yellowtail still lurking around. Here's proof. 45 pounds. Looks good on you Jim.
Better luck next time Timo. Least you didn't get skunked.

Hey Jim,
Give the fish a chance. Take some hooks off your lure.

During the Christmas vacation this year we fish bottom off the end of that small island near Asuncion. Every sand bass we caught was absolutely
stuffed with these critters. Most of them weren't even digested and came crawling about when the fish were lowered into the boat. In the past we would
see these 'tuna crabs' near the surface here and there but this time their 'migration' must have occurred deep because we were fishing about 150'
down.
For some reason Asuncion seems to be a haven for them.

From what I've seen virtually nothing is ever WASTED in Bahia Asuncion.
When a client caught too many Calicos last week, the client, Juan, myself and two sets of campers at Campo Sirena all ate fresh fish.
Otherwise, it is pretty clear that there is little economic base that does not involve harvesting the sea, and my take is that they've earned a
reputation for protecting their resources and seeking sustainability. It seems completely different on the other side of the peninsula.

Barb will you post this for me please?
Ah! Skipjack joe I will have you know. Not one bit of that fish was wasted. Not the collars or gills and entrails(the last 2 for lobster) I kept 60%
of the filets and gave the rest to people I know. Jimbo.

Just a question... did anyone encourage them to release what they did not need next time?

neither encouraged or discouraged as there is always a need for any extra fish
from a few of the poorer families in town
We can always insist on releasing here
sold out and got out !!!
