Los Peces Salidos (the fish that got away)

 On Monday night, Wayne and I went fishing on the beach.  We used ballyhoo as bait.  It is a half-beak fish.

Fishing goes better with Imperial

Another beautiful sunset.  I love the blue hue that the sun provided.




 We didn't have any luck fishing off the rocks around the beach, so we tried on the surf. 
I caught a puffer after an exhausting fight :)!!!!

Wayne caught a Jack.  But the best part was that we had three huge fish on our lines that broke our 20 lb. test lines like it was a cobweb.  It pulled out all my line.  Those fish didn't even give us a chance to fight them. They were off and running away with our ballyhoo!

What a night!  The sun goes down about 6:00 p.m. here.  It was dark when we were fishing off the beach.  It was partly cloudy and almost a full moon.  There was no one else on the beach.  We listened to the surf and the night sounds of the crickets and other critters while just behind us, a howler monkey was vociferiously claiming his territory.
