Volcano Party Hors d'oeuvre

[WanderingBlues]

Kyle & I jumped on a 3 day into Mexican waters to restock the fridge on blue fin and yellowtail. I was met at the landing by Dr. Creek. Even though Mike is not a beer man, he brought along a stunning collection of 24oz microbrews for me to sample and enjoy on the trip. It was great to see him, though it was too short a meet up. Mike, I look forward to getting in some stream time now that our schedules coincide!

Kyle and I went with our regular crew. We have been fishing together since Kyle was 10 and now he's taller than all of us. It was pretty fun to pull on 30# fish, but it also reminded me of why I drifted from off shore fishing to small stream fly fishing. Not your peaceful, re-energizing zen experience..... More like mayhem.

Still, we had a great time and caught 5 of our 6 fish on the iron up on the bow. For you guys with saltwater backgrounds, the stern was a mess with tangles so we stayed away. Didn't slow us down one bit and anytime you can get a strike on the retrieve, it's all the better.

If you'll notice (Andy), I busted out the legendary pumpkin fishing shirt. Still the best 25 cents ever spent at a garage sale. It apparently works for offshore fishing as well. Seriously! When I changed it out the next day, I was skunked. I went back down to the stateroom and put it back on (stink and all) and I was hooked up on the very next kelp paddy. Powerful mojo at work.

Can't wait for an FFA gathering to share the spoils. PEACE.

Sounds fun Curtis! I dig that final pic. As for the shirt, you know you got that to match the Honda!

Nice fish Curtis! Though seeing the deck made me a bit sea sick.

[Wildman]

Ah....the orange shirt. I've missed seeing it on your posts. I will anticipate that at some point, the or der vas from this trip will become available for consumption?

For tonight, I did a marinade of 5 spice, teriyaki, and sesame oil for a tuna tenderloin.Then I seared it medium rare and served it on top of fresh cucumbers with rice vinegar and lime zest, freshly roasted red bell pepper, avocado, and lime juice. A new favorite in the home!
