An MRI of Time
Well they say that times loves a hero,
But only time will tell.
If he's real, he's a legend from heaven,
If he ain't he was sent here from hell.
Hear me well,
Seeing ain't always believing
Just make sure it's the truth that you are seeing
Eyes sometimes lie, eyes sometimes lie
They can be real deceiving
-Payne, Barrere., Gradney
Experience is a funny thing, we rely on it, swear by it, and use it to differ or agree with our friends and those for whom that word does not apply.It's real, but as the boys from Little Feat say above, it can be deceiving. We don't have a lot of clients down here now, but the ones that we have are long term, multiple times a year types, and great guys to boot. I won't mention their names, because that's not the point, and I am in no way casting aspersions upon any of them, in any way. Here's the point, the group from La Paz went out in two pangas yesterday and scored big time on dorado, big time. No huge fish but nice ones between 20 and 26 pounds, from which they selected their limits and played catch and release with the rest. They were nice enough to take us out for a seafood based Chinese banquet last night, very yummy, and one of them said, " We haven't seen dorado fishing like that in La Paz since we started coming down here." That's an exact quote. Then we swing our camera over to Mag Bay, where a new group went out on their first of 4 days fishing this week. Nice guys, been coming down here since before the Jones family took the big leap, and good fishermen. When talking to their "leader", he said to me, "It was great, we haven't seen dorado fishing like that in La Paz in 10 years." In talking to Chris he said that they got easy limits and then played catch and release with all the fish between 22 and 30 pounds.
Experience, slices of time, like an MRI taking pictures of the brain, a slice at a time. The nice news is that both sets of experiences were positive ones, La Paz and Mag Bay are good places for that,

T.K. CURSE LIFTED, FISHING OFF AND RUNNING
AFTER 5-6 DAYS OF REALLY POOR FISHING, YESTERDAY RETURNED TO THE KIND OF ACTION THAT WE EXPECT HERE AND NOW. WHY? I DON'T KNOW, BUT I KNOW THAT I LIKE IT. WE TOOK LIMITS OF DORADO TO 22.5 POUNDS YESTERDAY, EASILY. LAST WEEK HAD A LOT OF STORM ACTIVITY IN THE AREA, MIRIAM OUT TO THE WEST, NORMAN APPEARING ON OUR DOORSTEP AND WANDERING AROUND THE AREA FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, MAYBE THE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE WAS THE CULPRIT, MAYBE THE LEFT OVER KARMA FROM THE GENERAL, WHO KNOWS? THE HUMBOLDT SQUID HAVE BEEN HERE FOR THE LAST 4-5 DAYS AND MAYBE THE EAU DE CALAMAR IN THE WATER HAS BECKONED THE DORADO, AGAIN, HARD TO TELL, BUT EASY TO ENJOY. NEW GROUP OVER TO MAG BAY THIS WEEK, REPORTS WILL BEGIN TOMORROW OR WEDNESDAY.
