Fished on the June 30 - July 2 with Manny on the Pacifico

short version: went with Svue and some other on this board but i forgot his user name, fields of foamers, fish everywhere in the 20-45 pound class. Everything that was thrown was bit, 1 fish per cast. Started to catch and release fish, day 2- trolling for the bigger stuff but nothign came up, found school of spinner dolphins and went wide open again on yellowfin, 3rd day- bottom fish for whatever, caught about 15 triggers and 1 big yellowfin, hairy weather so left the grounds early.

Had an amazing time with captain manny. worth every penny.

enjoy the pics.

freakin wow... you guys did really good. hope u landed some of that hotel fish... hehe.. nice report

unfortunately i did not troll the right bait for the hotel fish as they had no interest in whatever i threw at them in my tackle box. i even resulted in the "double point and wink" but still they had no interest :(

[Ketel]

great job guys. where was this all done?
