Morning Fishing Trip

[cookshow]

Capt Joe drove by this morning & as is so typical here something
materialized from nothing. We had been discussing a trip for a good
while but weather & schedules kept us from making it.

Joe drove by this morning & saw me standing in the road, pulled over
& asked what I was doing, I replied nothing, just standing in the
road & talking on the cell phone, he said wanna go fishing & I was on
it like white on rice.

We left around 8am & were back by a little after 11am, we bagged some
nice Spanish Mackeral & a few Kingfish, for a spur of the moment trip
we made out nice.

We trolled just a short ways offshore & the bite was good. Joe has
been getting some hits & losing baits & suspects the culprit is
Sailfish, after this morning I agree. Joe knows fishing & is
currently having a bigger boat built (the current one is great), he
wants to explore some bigger water & see what is waiting out there. I
was excited to have that Penn rod & reel in my hand, it has been a
while, most of my recent trips have been handlining, which I enjoy,
but it is nothing like having the power of a big Penn positioned in a
fighting belt.

eeuuuuwwweee, Kingfish head soup, Gaston style, (Corn Island Boy from 1920) relocated here to Puerto Cabezas.

He cooked one up here, that after eating, I had to look a hammock to rest my bones....

It was really a heavy midday meal, mixed with a good dollop of FDC, and in all honesty made me quite amorious with my Miskito Indian Princess later in the night.

Gaston and I send saludos to you and Mr. Marvin...

Sometimes spur of the moment things turn out great....

Tell Gaston Hey from Marvin & Myself. Ike is doing surgery on the fish as I write & I suspect that the heads will soon be taking a long hot bath.

Have some kids get a dozen live ballyhoo and slow troll them on the surface. Then you will know if there are sailfish around.

Ya see...I knew óle LCT was a pro...Fresh live bait, and even has suppliers lined up...You Rascal, some would consider that cheating.

Fishin, Lyin, Stealin, and Cheatin is all about the same...

Its all about catchin or gettin caught
