A Little Different....

Came to the realization recently that Facebook, Blogs, Forums, etc. have been pretty much inundated with blatant "cyber-terrorism" of late. Every 30 seconds there's a new post with "this just in", "Christmas gift ideas", and so on. For most of you it's probably almost become like white noise, you probably hardly pay attention anymore. 

So, for the rest of the time until Christmas....no more propoganda, only good old fashioned fish photos, fish videos, and stuff like that.

For The Tree!

GEOFISH VOLUME 1 MEXICO, THE EXPEDITION BEGINS
The plan is simple: bridge the language gap, convince the Federales that you’re not trying to smuggle cooking oil into the country to corner the market on cheap fish tacos and at the same time, spend little money, sponge off the local delicacies and see if you can kill stomach cramps with a combination of tequila and lack of sleep. Trying their best to avoid break-ins, break-downs, break-ups and broken rods, join four fish bums as they cover 8,000 miles of Mexican dirt in hopes of finding out-of-the-way locations—with fish, and escaping with captured memories. 102 min.

Palometa Club - November 16-23

The gang, led by Kevin Peterson all got back from The Palometa Club a couple weeks ago. Took us a while to get a report up and not everyone has sent us their pictures. Curtis and Jen B. were very prompt with their photos so we'll post them.

Weather for the week wasn't perfect. The first day was absolutely stunning and Curtis hooked 3 Permit. The rest of the week was kind of a mix some decent weather, some not so good with cloud being the hated enemy.

Even with a little instability, everyone had a bunch of quality shots at Permit every day. When they weren't messing with the Permit, Bonefish, Snook, and Tarpon were the order of the day.

Sounds like Kevin and Raza had some issues with Permit being hooked and then things going awry. That is the nature of the beast. Kev continues to be infatuated, and haunted, by the nasty critters.

The biggest news for us was that Jen B., on only her second trip ever flats fishing, hooked a Permit later in the week. Couldn't happen to a nicer person. Sounds like in between looking for Permit she laid a sound licking on the Bonefish of Ascension Bay.

Most of the party were first timers and once again everyone came back raving about the guides, the lodge, Kaye (Dick was still in Alaska), the food, and all of the staff. It is a pretty cool place...that just happens to be infested with Permit!

Hopefully the others get us some photos we can share.
