Hola BD fish killers!
This was a great trip to Baja for lots of reasons. It started off in San Diego as usual. When we were leaving it was rainy and there was even snow on the mountains as we headed east on the 8fwy.
I had 3 customers. 2 were SCUBA spearos from Florida and 1 was a freediver from L.A..
The first day was ok. We had about 10 foot vis that would clear up in some areas. After checking a couple of spots we found an upwelling of clear water by one of the islands. One of the customers was in the water with me and I asked him if he saw anything. He said he saw some huge grouper and even took a shot at one with his new Wong gun. Later on in the day when we were getting back in the boat he swam up with his first ever Grouper. It was a nice one.
My customer from Fla. and his wife also got their first ever freediving fish!
I had decided that I would get some Rock Oysters for dinner to have with the Triggerfish. We saute them together with olive oil and spices and have them in alfredo sauce with pasta!
While I was diving for dinner I found a gift from the Sea. It was a pearl. The only one I have ever found.
The next day the wind was a up a little bit but we made it to the islands and found a sheltered spot. All of the divers were trying to better their catch from the day before and were being selective. I had noticed that the guy from Fla. was in the boat early. When I swam in I found out that he had shot his first ever freedive Grouper! He was stoked! He figured that we had enough for dinner and decided to just hang out and enjoy the views from the front of the boat with his wife.
That night we had Panko breaded grouper fillets fried in pure olive oil, with rice pilaf. So damn good.
The last day we started getting some nice Grunts. Barred grunts and Burrito Grunts are great eating fish. I did some diving while the customers were shooting dinner. I got a small grouper and took some pics of my office.
That night we had blackend Grunt fillets with spicy mexican rice, and of course the cold beer.
The next day it was time to leave. It was an un-real trip. To commerate the the un-realness, I made a snowman out of ice from my solar freezer. yep Ice made from the sun, I called him.....
MELTY THE SNOWMAN!!
Then I took them to see the giant cactus in the Valley of the Giants on the way home, just for some good baja pics!
And thats my report. Next week its rod and reel fishing customers so Ill be drifting some frozen squid and posting later.
See ya in the south,
GTB
