Parenting doing it right

[steelfish]

well seems like my older daughter (16yo) was having a really good time fishing a lot more than daddy

first fishing trip for 2016, with a good friend and my older daugher on the north of sea of cortez
not a lot of fish and not as big as we wished but plenty of fun and good memories from this trip

father and daugher going to the Enchanted Islands of Gonzaga Bay, Baja





admiring the Island from really close while trolling




her first fish of the day, a nice sized triggerfish caught by small cut bait and 2/0 hooks


this local Bass was caught by myself using a jig


myself and a good friend trolling on a Panga


a small local small leopard grouper or cabrilla


now it was turn of my friend to get a better one


and another, this time with a superficial lure made by DUO, using a light rod


this was the fish of the day, the mighty Yellowtail, first time for her and she got it with no help from anybody




then I got a small one on the jig, it was deeply hooked on the stomach so I have to keep her


a duble hooked spotted bass for her


a nice sized yellow spotted bass


and another double for her


then the captain called it a day and we returned to port


that was one of the best ways to start the 2016

Looks like you had a lot of fun. What you didn't get in size you made up with variety!

It looks like the wind stopped for you to get out. It has been blowing like crazy south of you but as you know that is normal for this time of year.

Good looking Pinto bass and Cabrilla, and throw in some firecracker yellows will make fishing with your daughter even more special. WTG

yep, on last friday we saw a nice weather on sunday and we organized a quick trip to the Islands, next day and as of today the wind have been blowing badly, this week we will have some hard rain days for EL NINO climate on Baja and South California, US.

Yes, doing it just right!  Love the pictures, there's something about Mexico that seems to call to all of us dedicated fish chasers.

Nice catch also,  lots of good fish tacos there.

very nice, fishing area looked really picturesque with the big rocks and beautiful water, best thing was all the smiles on your daughters face as she reeled in a fish, and spending  time with her dad ,fantastic.   harryk
