Well, we finally caught something (worth keeping)! Frankly, we don’t spend much time (or expense) on fishish, but we do have a “hand line” and a few different lures that we can use to troll behind the boat as we move along. Ocasionally we’ll throw out the line when the seas are calm (we don’t want to have to land a fish when we’re bouncing around).
Finally we hooked a dinner-sized one, a Pacific Crevally Jack. He provided us with a couple pounds of rich dark meat (similar to Ahi) that we baked with tomatoes, peppers and onions and shared with seven fellow cruisers at the secluded anchorage in Ensenada Carrizal, north of Manzanillo. We prefer to patronize local fishermen, who bring in a beautiful variety of fish and seafood. We had a great dinner the other night aboard with Ted & Brenda of Firefly, baked red snapper, steamed lobster, and a scallop casserole.
