Good day to fish? before & after
I've made lunch, filled the tank, threw the fishing gear in and hooked up to Bubba for the launch. Now only sun screen and a cooler full of Tacate.
Lots of ice!
the launch went smooth

fishing was pretty good too. No monsters but a really wild variety.
After an hour or so of shaking off fish I zipped over to take pictures of this long linner acting really weird in the bay. He had two lines out and
was trolling the bay between Punta Chivato and Mulege. I'm 90% sure that a boat this size is not allowed to work within a few miles of land and
certainly not in the mouth of Bahia Concepcion or inside it. You can see the Mulege river light house just off his bow here.
I did keep 2 triggers & a pargo for tacos

Looks like my boat with the 4 rods sticking out. People make fun, but I like to be ready for action.
I sure wish the east cape was as flat as that lake behind you. I have to launch through the surf...Not always fun
Good luck...go ABDUCT some fish!!

The really bad part is that Russ has to drive such a long way from his boat garage to the ocean. I am sure he has to burn at least a shot glass full
of gasoline to launch.

point of clarification: long lining is not trolling; and the boat in the photo is trawling, which is neither long lining nor trolling.
nice pics of the little fishies!

mtgoat666 , I do appreciate the clarification. But this guy is rigged really different than trawlers I'm use to seeing. It appears like those I've
seen out tending drift nets and long lines. So, is a shrimper a trawler? This guy really has me confused??? He doesn't have the rigging like a
shrimper. More clarification please.

IMO He's a Trawler. I bet their deck is covered in bird droppings too!!

a number of things tell me he is trawling, but most obvious is the 2 heavy lines running astern from the winch on aft cabin roof.
all shrimpers in SOC are trawling. the shrimpers often use relatively small trawls so sometimes you'll see shrimpers using smaller boats and
outrigger poles.

That is a shrimper that is pulling trawl nets. When he is at rest, it is easy o see the twin sets of planer boards, but you can tell from the
configuration of the boat. The other part is the canopy on the deck which is where the hands all work when they pull the nets up. That is where
they sort all of the stuff that gets pulled up in the nets.

I bet they named that boat "Cuation or Caution " due to the slippery bird poop decks and rust infestation that is prevelent in the mexican fleet.
It'd sure be easy to slip on some bird poo and rip open your arm on a rusty rail. I doubt these guys have current tetenus shots.

I don't know why He confused me. I guess the canopy and I thought those out rigger type booms looked too whimpy to handle the doors. Anyway I looked
at some Photos I have and sure enough....
