BSG American Angler November 10 Day - Making It Happen Captain!!!

Evening Folks

The November Bob's Sporting Goods 10 Day on the American Angler is coming up very soon and I am starting to Get Geeked Up for the trip. Variety is what Sammy always says about a 10 Day, It is all about Variety. I really enjoy being in Baja in the Fall and really look forward to the adventure.

Jig Stick...Check.....Salas Jigs...Check....50 lb? Check.....60 lb...Check....130 lb...Check. Getting ready for the trip is part of the fun. The World Wide Web adds to the Geek Factor with the On the Water Reports from the boats on the grounds. Check out the images from the American Angler Website on the Sports Chalet trip.

Just enough good weather for some nice action

Getting a little break from the weather this morning, we were fortunate enough get a taster on the elusive wahoo. Jig strikes and a frenzy of exciting hook-ups, bites and bite-offs can best describe the morning's action. The wahoo bite was not long lived, so by mid-day we found ourselves wandering north and capping off the afternoon yanking and cranking on some nice grade yellowtail. With the weather still in our favor, we are continuing north looking for a strong finish in the final days of the trip.

Today's photo shows team 2 after one of our morning stops, with Bill Randall proudly displaying his pending IGFA line class record wahoo that unfortunately was terminally wounded in the heat of battle.

Wed. Oct 28, 2009

Today we woke up to our new scenery and were able to sit on the anchor all day. With beautiful fishing conditions, things felt right but after a few hours of the morning, it was apparent that today was one of those days where rail time was a must. Scratching all day on four different kinds of species - from tuna up to 95lbs to those pesky wahoo made it all the more fun not knowing what your bite might be.

With the weather not in our favor, we are going to pick it up and change area codes once again.
In today's photos, Richard Tanaka shows off one of his better tuna for the day and Mr.Bob snyder shows off his first skin of the trip.

SWEET.. See you guys after Turkey Day

A variety of flowers, shrubs and trees grow on its banks and are reflected in the deep blue waters. There is a boat club in the Ashtamudi lake. Prominent on its shores are the Thevally Palace and the Government House. Luxuriant groves of coconut palms greet one every where as the boat moves through lakes, lagoons and canals.

The Thirumullavaram beach near Quilon is a beauty spot and an ideal place for sea-bath and it is best place for morning walks. This is a very beautiful picnic spot and it is very well connected with bus facilities.
