The Fishing Trip

We booked a fishing trip for day 2 and it was AWESOME to say the least.  Our guide Jairo ( Diablo to his friends) knew the area very well and had a very clean boat with decent equipment.
We headed out at sunrise for six hours on the waters around Tenacatita Bay
We started catching tuna as soon as all the lines were set.  We caught a LOT of tuna...

 

 

The scenery was as great as the fishing.

 

Then we headed up the coast a ways for the big fish...

 

These yellow fin tuna hit  hard and ran forever.  It took Frank and I all we had to reel these strong swimming fish in.  By the time they were aboard, we were both exhausted.
Then the really big fish started to hit - Dorado or as it is better known - Mahi Mahi.  These fish are ugly, but as we found out later, they are one of the best tasting fish in the world.
  All in all, we caught 22 fish, our limit for the day.  We did it in less than four hours and according to our guide Jairo, it was a record day.  That evening the chef cooked up one filet of Mahi Mahi and served it to us on a beautiful platter.  It was absolutely delicious.
