Off to the Sea of Cortez

Right around 2:00 yesterday afternoon the winds picked up and haven't really let up since. We had a few boats come back in early yesterday as the anglers were looking a bit green. So today a new destination was in order and the boats headed out to the Sea of Cortez side to get some relief from the beating of the Pacific, to some calmer seas on the other side of Baja.

We had 4 boats head out today and some new species were caught that we haven't seen in the Pacific waters lately.

Harold headed out again today this time for a quick 5 hour trip on a panga and getting into lots of sierra and tuna. He reeled in 25 sierra total and 4 yellowfin tuna on the Sea of Cortez!

Greg and his wife came down from Wasilla, Alaska to fish on ReelRum with Omar and Americo. They headed out to the Sea of Cortez as well and reeled in 5 dorados!

Scott and Andre from Alberta headed out on the RedBeam along with their 2 boys. They too headed out to the Sea of Cortez to prevent any munchkins blowing lunch on board. They reeled in 2 dorado as well.

And last but not least, the 2 couples, Tommy and Ann along with Dennis and Rachel hailing from Louisiana headed out with Javier today. After they got dropped off at the wrong location by the wonderful taxi drivers we have in Cabo, they arrived on time to get on board no problem. They are staying here in Cabo with the Stay & Play package offered by RedRum in the Portofino Condos. On their first day fishing they reeled in 2 nice sized dorados from the Sea of Cortez as well as 2 skip jacks. The question here is, where do you take your catch on a Sunday when Misiones is closed? This question I never know how to answer, especially if they aren't sushi eaters as my first response would be Arts & Sushi. So they are heading out to La Pampa, a great Argentian Steakhouse and will head to Misiones tomorrow night instead.

Now I'm off to pay more attention to my hand in pitch while my other hand on my Corona.
Salud!
