Headed out on a fishing trip, 7:30 AM yesterday. Turned out to be a great day of fishing.

The first keeper. They are Chula (Albacore) a very good eating fish, almost white meat. Fish is in the Tuna family.

These Chula are fighting machines, Not a big fish (6 to 15 lbs.) but boy can they fight. They were biting, here we have two on at the same time.

There were three of us in the boat, here is Bob pulling one in.

They just kept coming, this is Lin pulling one in.

I must have been working hard.

These things give you a workout.

A few in the box already

Beautiful scenery, we were fishing around the rocks, trolling Rapalas slow. Some know where the blister rock is, anyway we were 20 min. boat ride from Melaque. Trolling as close as we dare to the rocks. We heard reports that the Dorado and Tuna were very slow, and you have to go out 25 miles to catch them. We decided to stay close and see if we could get some other action. Got into these Chulas and when we were done we boated 14. One good sized Torro and several Barrila that we threw back. We gave the Torro to the boat Captain, (they are a very bloody fish) The meat on the Chula's is almost white.

On our way in, lots of pelicans in the Grand Bay

A heck of a day of fishing.  We got about 45 lbs. of nice fillets.

I am a happy camper.

Friend Lin and I.

We bought tickets from kids coming thru the campground to attend a dinner to raise funds for the local School. Had a nice rib dinner and a good show. Picture is not good because it was a rainy evening. All survived, just got a little wet.

They put on a really nice show for us.

Take a good look at this babe, the same person is below.

Yup! someone came over from the local transvestite show and volunteered to be part of the show to raise money for the school.

Heck of a show.
