Beat the skunk today


Finally the wind settled down this morning and I went over to Deadmans to try for some surf fish. Last few times out I haven't been able to fish because of the surf & wind or I flat struck out. Well, today it all changed.












Cleaned up and iced down and went to give 3 of the four to a friend. His wife comes out with and big bowl of ceviche for me. Now that worked out really well! I love it when there is a happy ending!

You made me smile and laugh.. what a great day out there...

Thank you so much... can almost feel it...

That tackle for that size fish.. how long on?

Looks like a real kick... can see why you guys are down there with the hurricanes...

Seems to be a fair trade.. plus the sunrises and sunsets...

Again, thanks for keeping that camera around and thinking of us poor stiffs not getting line wet... let alone hooking up with that.... what a day.. a keeper all the way around

And off topic, as usual ..... what's the set up you are using to get around... looks like the perfect set up

Russ,

Good looking fish. they look like the corbina we would catch near San Felipe.

Oggie, They are the corVina you get in San Felipe.
David, I liked the Curado 200 so much I bought the 300 also and it's even better. Can hardly wait for the 1st dorado on it. But I really want to go to Asuncion for halibut & corBina.
wessongroup,I get to drive around on a Polaris Ranger. Goes everywhere and room for camp gear too. It only takes 5 min. or less to bring these fish in but the do a tough few minutes and taste good too.

Woody, I remember well the photos you use to post of those huge croaker you'd catch. Those guys really had the shoulders. IMO the croakers & corbina are much more closely related. The corvina appear to be in a whole different family, to me, but most of the articles I've read say they're related. The corbina, again my opinion, are much tougher fighters and one of the very best eating fish.

What a mess of great fish and nice photos to enjoy with my coffee morning. Gracias, amigo.

The heck with the wind, I'm getting the Jeep ready for a little Chivato beach fishing trip. Russ..you're in the right place.

it only adds to the flavor. as long as they are cooked, right? does lime juice (ceviche) kill the worms?

That's definately the corBina as in Wood's pic. The corvina really does look like a white seabass but has two "egg teeth" sticking down.
