Wow, I thought you said the fishing was bad this time of year. Great Job Dave and Kevin. That is a monster for sure. Should be able to feed the
troops for some time now. THe first picture of your boat getting back on the trailer makes it look like the fish was in the stern and making it
pretty heavy to get the boat out of the water. Wish we were there instead of here in the snow and freezing cold.

fishing has really been crappy for the last few weeks...Juan says these big yellowtail are solitary types and they didnt hook into any more..lots of
calico though. I'm sure BajadanD will tell you his kayak fishing story soon...calico every cast near san roque.
tonight at sunset there were lots of guys hauling in boca dulce one after another from the beach...gorgeous night.

Ya we call those "home guard" yellowtail. At some point they don't migrate like a "normal" yellowtail.
They pick an area and stay there. They usually start to change appearance a little too.
A home guard tail with get fatter and more shoulder than a pelagic kelp patty yellowtail. Pelagics tend to keep the sleek and speedy look.
A home guard is more "grumpy" and tough where a pelagic is more "wild eyed" and crazy.

Last night was one of the warmest evenings we have ever spent here in Bahia Asuncion on what some call the Alaska side of the hill, and the sunset was
by far one of the best---so many different colors. Not to sound like the BA Chamber of Commerce, but it really was amazing and unexpected. It had
been cold and windy in the afternoon.

Whew that YT was the heaviest thing I have hefted since my ex's Sacramento River 32 lb Salmon. I caught more, she caught bigger.
Dave and Kevin did a fine job and allowed me to get a picture, since I talked up the fishing here so much to my co-workers when I was furloughed from
the office.
Anyway, I am seeing a lot of fish taken in the evening by two people, fishing from the sandy beach at the "Hawaii" side of Asuncion. For myself, I
got my first two calicoes on sardines fished from shore on pocket beaches in the rocks north of San Roque.
Stunning day, weather and fishing. My error this trip was thinking I would have time to fish, kayak, read and look over the local geology. I am
meeting too many wonderfully positive, welcoming and helpful people...so I am spending a lot more time socializing than I anticipated. Not a problem,
just a welcome surprise. Food in the smaller local places has been exceptionally good as well, another unanticipated surprise after years of hearing
about digestive issues...None here...Mucho Bueno
Hey, maybe I'll get laid off. My March rent in Berkeley is already paid so.....

Wow Bajadan! Those are some nice calico. Would have been a blast out of the kayak. Now you and Diane have to make me envious. Is there no end to the
torture.

Hey Shari, how's that smoker working out for you? We have been reading your posts over the winter and wish we were there! We really enjoyed our time
there and fishing w/ Juan. Sounds like the smoker has seen a lot of use! Hope to see you again sometime this year!

We won't be down until October. Mom and dad are coming with us so we are flying into La Paz and taking the scenic drive north. Won't take nearly as
long as driving which was a full 5 days. If you can make it then let me know I'll have a couple of cold ones for ya.

hey there teamsaleen....welcome to nomadlandia...nice to see you finally posting...and woooohoooo the smoker has seen lots of action indeed...most of
David's YT got smoked and will be served at our birthday bash(es). We are thinking of putting a small electric hotplate in the bottom as the propane
flame is a bit too hot I think...but have heard no complaints from everyone who ate all the smoked Yt, tuna and bonita this season! We thought all we
smoked would last us through till the fall when the season started but it's all gone now except for the last YT...juan loves it.
