It was a pretty rough day out in Pacific today. Bumpy, windy - just rough all around. We went straight out from Sayulita and we caught one Dorado within 20 minutes. Unfortunately, one of the girls started to get pretty seasick, so we started trolling for 30 minutes to help calm her stomach. And then..BAM...we hooked this beautiful 130lbs, 6'2"ft long Sailfish!! It took us about an hour to reel it in and gaff it.
I don't know if everyone knows this, but with Sailfish, the only way you can bring it into the boat is by gaffing it in the eye or grabbing the nose with gloves. If you try and gaff it in the body, you'll just end up ripping the meat out, so it's little trick of the trade and takes some talent to gaff the Sailfish right in the eye as it's thrashing against the boat.
We decided to call it a day after our big catch and having one seasick girl on the boat.
Still, another good day of fishing in Sayulita!
Happy Birthday Cory! I took out two couples, from Canada and had a great day. Helen and Cory were from Invermere, Canada and were down to celebrate their honeymoon and Cory's birthday. The other couple were Bob and Caroline from Vancouver and were down in Sayulita vacationing.

We went out fishing with my friend William and his two children from the Bay Area. The morning started out a little slow because we were having a hard time catching our live bait. But it soon picked up, when we saw a big school of Rooster fish feeding around a bank. We had one hooked, but lost it and finally caught our big catch of the day. It took about 35 minutes to reel it in. Not too bad for a days work in Sayulita, Nayarit.
