A Tale of Two Terrys, and fishing

HE WHO FIGHTS WITH MONSTERS SHOULD LOOK TO IT THAT HE HIMSELF DOES NOT BECOME A MONSTER. AND WHEN YOU GAZE LONG INTO AN ABYSS THE ABYSS ALSO GAZES INTO YOU. FRIEDRICH NEITZSCHE These words of warning from ol' Fred seemed to come into focus this last week when the lines of energy that define the universe all crossed directly over La Paz, and I had the good fortune to be visited by not one but two Terry's. Stereo Terreo. These two men, neither of whom had any knowledge of the other prior to this last week forged a bond based on how absolutely different they are from each other. In trying to think of famous pairings from the past I had a hard time coming up with a pair with whom you would be familiar that would also explain a little about these two to you. Martin and Lewis? No. Laurel and Hardy? No. Ike and Tina? No. The closest that I could get was Mickie Mouse and Donald Duck. Was it that one wore no shirt and other no pants? No, but one is kinda like MM, whistling and having a good time, sorta ignoring the parts of life that might cause him stress, while the other, more DD, is trying to redefine things around him so that they will fit into his sense of order, for the good of all, I assure you, and without a large degree of patience. These two guys were bound more than anything else by their complete and utter unfamiliarity with the kind of person that the other one is. It was almost like bringing matter and anitmatter together, except without the galactic holocaust that many think would result from such a cocktail. It was fun, not without a lot of spurious energy whipping about the ol' chateau, but fun. I, of course, remained calm and reserved, holding my opinions to myself as I always do, a beacon, if you will, of judgement and maturity in a lightening storm of ground splitting magnitude. I had fun too, thanks guys! They both caught fish, as did everyone else here last week. The boiling bite of the last 4 weeks has slowed to a simmer. Large dorado are still on the buoys, and folks are still losing roughly 50% of them, but that has slowed some, if you find the right buoy you could hit the fish of a lifetime, if not? NADA. The billfish and wahoo bite both slowed coming off the last full moon, but we're still getting some. On the new, and good news side there are large numbers of medium sized dorado, 12 to 22 lbs., cruising the shore south of Muertos and down the channel towards Las Cruces.Kelly and I went out rooster fishing, and got skunked. There were some Chupa Colas, but nothing large enough to eat our ladyfish, but that's also the good news. There were several large schools of lady fish along the beach from the hotel down to the point, something of which we've been bereft and this should signal some fine rooster fishing to come. We've also finally had a visit from some humboldt squid, not the 40 pound Klingon battle cruisers, but some smaller 10 to 20 pound units. They have been here a week, and if they hang this bodes very well for some inshore tuna action in the foreseeable future. Remember to keep your Terry trimmed and burning, and have a great time, David
