Passed new laws and can't get a straight answer on what they require. I am so done with Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Furness Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I'd love to take one of those in the kayak ... would be a great tow! Mike F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennM Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I normally go on an offshore fishing tip every year (missed this year... no money) to MX waters off of San Diego.Very good fishing and catching the squid on the way out is AWESOME. The water turns silver/white with the schools of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dorado Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hope you had some very fresh Sashimi right then and there....MMMMMMMMMMM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeforthegold Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hope you had some very fresh Sashimi right then and there....MMMMMMMMMMM!We do that with the tuna and yellow tail, never had raw dorado. I believe Ernest Hemingway in the Old Man and the Sea mentioned that Dorado raw wasn't fit to eat. I haven't seen it in a sushi restaraunt either I don't think. He sure sizzeled when he hit the grill though and it was excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The water turns silver/white with the schools of them.This time of the year can sure be a lot of fun. I have had some great trips for tuna, yellow tail and dorado. I stuck a marlin under a paddy couple of years ago. 20Lb test and no shock tippet resuleted in a lost fish, but it was cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike FGuys out there in the yaks sticking 50-60 pound white sea bass and 20-30 pound yellow tail they are getting towed a ways for sure.
