VIDEO OF DOMINICK CATCHING A STRIPED MARLIN ON LIGHT TACKLE

[Keta]

do you have to be registered with photobucket to see anything?  

I'm not sure, try clicking on the photos.

If you wear a straw hat your nose does not have to be white.  Nice photos, were the rooster fish from this trip?

Not this trip.  I like to make a casual fishing trip on some days.  Usually what I do is sleep until I wake up without an alarm or wake-up call (usually 6:30 or so).  Sit around and have coffee, go for breakfast then about 9 - 9:30 a.m. go to the marina and meet a panga captain who is grateful for having slept a little late also.  Then we go out and fish in the surf from a panga for Jacks and Roosters.  We also sometimes get Pargo (Dog Tooth Snapper) in the surf if we fish a spot near some rocks.  After a couple of hours we come in have lunch and a couple or three cervesas then it is siesta.  This is a great way to live.  I do it but I hate early mornings.  Dominick

So far I've only been down in the summer and it gets too hot by mid day.  I like to get up early, make bait, fish until mid day then head in for something cold to drink.  One of these days I'd like to put my ATV in the truck and explore Baja away from the water between fish days but it's hard to not fish due to limited time down there.

I don't go down in the summer because of the heat.  I spent July in Saudi Arabia and Cairo I don't want to get that hot again.  In the spring the weather is cool in the mornings and hot mid-day and cool in the afternoons into the evenings.  The weather really is ideal.  Go for it.  Dom

Man, you just painted the perfect morning...

WTG there Dominick. I truely love Baja also and will be I'll Be in Puerto Escondido to fish a tourney in late June, after that it is too hot for me also until about mid October when it is like someone flips a switch and the weather is cools again. I go at least once a year, usually twice.

Keta I would say you should definitely take the quad and explore the Baja coast. I love it.

SoCal:  Is there more than one Puerto Escondido?  I just pulled a map and I see it is on the main land?  Dominick

Not SoCal here, but there is also a Puerto Escondido in Baja--not far south of Loreto.

Yep Tom is right about 15 miles south of Loreto. My pops has a place in Tripui and that is the tourney we will fish. It is the second largest tourney in the Loreto area, #1 is Fishing for the Mission, #2 The Tripui, #3 The Loreto Yellowtail followed by the Vagabondos tournament. The Tripui tourney is all about fun as all money raised goes to to local charities. But, there is a huge amount of tackle raffeled off along with other prizes. Come on down and join the fun. Here is a link to some info about the tournament.

How did I miss this?

Nice catch Dominick on light gear.

Talica reel with a terez Rod. Being that was from a couple of years ago, those were probably the better catch of rods.

[ChileRelleno]

Very nice catch and sounds like a great trip overall.

Never caught a billfish yet, it's on my lists.

Hey guys thanks for the compliments and revising an old posting.  I had forgotten about it.  Getting old.  Dominick

I just got one of those curved Samsung computer monitors. Watching these on this is amazing.
