Well, the adventures continue! Friday evening some of the Mexican guys I've been hanging out with crashed at my place for night and we got up the next morning at 5:30 for a authentic Mexican fishing expedition. As Mexican time usually goes, we only actually got on the water at about 8:00. There were 6 of us (without life jackets) in a 20 footer fishing boat with a 15 horsepower engine that took us to a little bay on the ocean about an hour away. Fishing rods were not needed as we just used beer bottles or cans which had fishing line wrapped around them. We attached a barbed hook along with a large bolt for weight and loaded up the hook with pieces of squid as bait. Once all was in place we'd cast and let it sit until we got a bite or until you lost the bait.
One the way to our fishing site we came across a sea turtle out for a casual swim. He must have been almost 3 feet long and took a dive once we got to close - I wish I had pictures! The only fish that I caught was about 4 inches long and was only worthy of being thrown back in. Other than that I only got a few nibbles. The other guys however did pretty good. I'm not sure the name of the fish that they caught but they were very round, about 8 inches long, 6 inches high and a couple of inches in width. Altogether we came away with a good pail full of fish!
