Mahahaul, Mexico Fishing Or Non Fishing Report

Feb. 20-Feb 24, 2013

Windy, WINDY, Did I Say It Was WINDY!!!

The idea was to do a DIY bonefish trip and enjoy the sights, food and drink in Mexico.  The trip was planned before Christmas. Everything went well, except for the DIY bonefish.

The first day was windy, but I did manage this nice snapper in front of our hotel.


It was quite windy that day, but I figured the wind would lay and the next few days would be better.

Not.

The wind blew 25-35 knots day and night and the water inshore turned from a nice clear green to coffee with cream.

I managed one more snapper in the town of Mahahual, but that was it.

But the food was great!

Red Snapper Slaughter, Outrage Anywhere. Anyone?

2.16.13

This video was big news in our shop today.
When I first viewed it, I was saddened by the waste of wildlife, whether you fish or not.
There are so many things wrong with this situation I can't start to count.
You can view it and make up your mind but this slaughter can be magnified into everything that is wrong with the government and it's policies in the good ol' USA now.  And like many people we don't know what to do about it but vote.
