Well, at least it's not Shari rubbing it in. Glad you have a great day on the water. We'll be down in November.

LOLOLOL BirdDog that first picture of the fish you caught, it must of been a good scrapper, look at all the blood on your hands and tee shirt. Did
Juan have to strap you in to haul that monster aboard?

Love the pics.

I sure love seeing the grins of our beloved nomad amigos when they start unloading the fish! The birddogs were getting real antsy as they'd missed
thier first trip "due to illness" (translation:hangover) and then Lowell's big swell kept everyone on shore...so they were more than ready yesterday
for a big day.
Juan installed rod holders but Birddog said they didn't use them...no time....they'd just put the rod in the holder and BAM...they were trolling
rapallas for YT and cedar plugs for dorado...birddog will fill in the details later I'm sure.
Msbirddog caught the biggest fish...a real fat yellowfin tuna...around 50 pounds she managed to land all by herself!
She is one buff chick!
They got into tuna at the end of the day and were bushed from reeling in so many yellowtail, calico, bonita & dorado
We sent Jetboy for his scale but even the smallest tuna maxed it out at 26 pounds. One tuna had 8 fresh sardines in it's belly.
Everyone got involved in the bloody process of cleaning and bagging...note Jetboy arriving with yet more fuel!
Michelle had this really cool portable vacuum packer!
check out this filet!!!
These were the first yellowfin tunas we have caught from our pangas so of course we needed to celebrate....baked tuna, sashimi and saki....and man oh
man were they delicious.
On the 3rd plate of lucious red tuna sashimi, Jetboy paused and exclaimed "This MUST be either illegal or immoral!!!" He's gonna bring his sushi chef
buddy down soon. The first plate I prepared were nice polite peices that got devoured fast and Birddogs style of sashimi were like foot longs!!!
As always, a great time was had by all...the saki helped!
But I sure had a hard time getting up early to see Juan and Rodorado off this morning....where are those aspirin?

The fishing has been awesome here. The tuna are still here. Cedar plugs are the lure we used for those awesome fighting fish. We used purple and
firetiger. But i think you could have thrown an old boot with a hook and caught fish. Going out tomorrow for more tuna. Too bad Diver won't be in
the boat. We miss ya man. And yes this is Birddog not some crazy lady impersonating me.

Hey BirdDog,
Well if it couldn't be me, I'm glad it's you and Michelle having such a blast !
First Dorado and now Tuna; what's next ? Swordfish off the beach ?? 
I'm also thrilled for Juan; he's got to be the happiest panguero around !

Shari, Thankx for thinking of me during your time of glory. I just returned from my second trip north and am going to enjoy PC for awhile yet.
Sheesh.. how do those people up there live without the Baja??? I hope to visit soon. I saw BirdDog's chocolate lab in the photos and realized Mason
sure would like to visit again too.
Mason's excited at the thought of a visit. maybe he's a little OVERjoyed

Diver has the plug. The ones we used were purple with black stripes on the back and firetiger. Some were caught on the plain ones also. Tommorrow
we will try other colors to see what happens. Tough being at a place were you can do that and know you are going to catch fish. One last thing
TECATE!!!!!!!!!!
