the boat

This is the boat, my friends.

I will post more pictures soon.

dorado and some of the amazing snorkeling you can experience

On February 27th, we went on a snorkeling and fishing trip with my partner, Esteban Cardenas and his really good friend, Hans and some other people, who I can't really remember their names!  We started out pretty slow, catching a couple dorados but the guys seemed more into snorkeling than fishing so we headed over to the marietas islands.   We made some of the best ceviche, with the best fish you can possibly have and by the time we finished the ceviche, it was time to head home. So that an other amazing day on Mahi.....

Sorry guys for the delay!!

I've have been working non-stop on my new boat + am very excited about it.  I've also been taking lots of new  pictures of the fish I've have been catching with some wonderful people from California and Canada.  I promise to put them up as soon as i figure out my camera... but for now i would like wish you all a happy day!!! Here are some of the great pictures of marine life you can experience while fishing.  Off to go fishing!  

Cory's Birthday

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 caught 5 big Dorados for Cory's birthday.  2 of them were an easy 40lbs.  Cory and Caroline were the lucky ones because they reeled in the two biggest fish of the day.  Congratulations guys!  See you next time.

Sailfish Caught with Terrie & Friends from Colorado

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!

 

rooster fish caught with william and family plus my girlfriend, erika

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.
