Last minute change of plans took me out on a boat to the Outer Banks.

Haven't been fishing, at least not for anything other than sharks off Gibson's dock, since January... Fresh tuna is the best.
This is a yellow fin from Puerto Vallarta. They started cutting him up and we were eating right off the fish. Can't really get any fresher than that.

Not as far as Cortez bank. That is almost 100 miles out. We were about 70 miles out in Mexican waters.

Nice fishy. I want to go back out now. We only went out on a day trip (24 hours). I want to go out on a 2 or 3 day trip and load up.

No dorado. Only albacore. The fishing actually hasn't been that good. Once we really got into them we had to head back for land. It sucked seeing the tuna attack the bait balls and we couldn't go get them.

I keep hearing all the fishy stories, but AZJD and a few other friends were down in PV and between the rains, and hurricane remnants, they apparently got skunked. :(

I took video of the morning where the swells were pretty big. The video is too big to post unless I can figure out how to make it smaller. There were quite a few of people throwing up. I put on a patch before I got on the boat. It must have worked because I felt fine. Stay in the fresh air, stay out of the galley, and only go down below to sleep. :D

You shouldn't go fishing when you are on your period. :D

Well next time you go out on your buddies boat let me know. I'll show you how to fish. :D
We can go to the Salton Sea and catch all the tilapia you want. :)
