I’m very limited on time for
writing so today will be short and sweet.
We got a nice early start. Along
the way Grant spotted a dead rattlesnake in the road so I took this close up of
his diamond pattern – kind of cool. We’re
always careful when cutting through the bush for the beaches because there are
a ton of rattlers around here.
On the first beach Sammy and
I destroyed the ladyfish. We caught one
literally every cast. Ladyfish don’t get
much credit but I can attest they are a great fun fish to catch on the
fly. I always pack a 7-weight to Baja
and I used it this morning. I had an
absolute blast!
I ended the session on our
first beach by casting to a disturbance on the edge of a mud line created from
waves breaking on the beach. I expected
another ladyfish. Luckily I was back to
using my 10-weight because first strip through that mud and up came the cone of
a 25lb plus roosterfish. My heart jumped
a beat and I hit the deck and picked up the speed of my fly. Wham! I had him and fifteen minutes later I landed
this awesome fish. Glad we got him –
that was about it for our day.
Unfortunately today was
Sammy’s last day and he flies home in the morning. As for me, I’m flying Sunday so Grant and I
will fish tomorrow.
What a week!
