Sculpin and Co. have inspired me...doubt I can rise to his level of photography and prose...but, a fish report is still a report, especially this time of year ( I'm deeply hoping there will be NO toilet report )
The family and I, just booked a last minute trip to Huatulco Mexico next week. Yaaaaaaay!!!! $#$^%&^ work, I'm going fishing!!!
We have been before, 5 years ago, and I have managed to dig up the email addy of the local guide I met last trip. We have made plans for 2 trips offshore for me, and 1 inshore/snorkle tour for the wife and kids.
AND, since I'm a tackle junkie, it matches with the gear I just received mail order today ( see pics) Most of the gear was on sale during the 'black friday' weekend - I bought it all for my rapidly growing tuna arsenal. I'm sure it all would be happier getting wet next week, rather than waiting for August - don't you think?
The rod is a 7' Okuma Nomad M and MH travel kit ( 3 section rod - 2 dif tip weights ). Okuma must have a 'funny' rating sys. It is rated 15-30 for the M tip and 30-60 for the MH tip. Both tips are WAY stiffer when compared to my Daiwa Saltist 20-40 M and Shimano Tallus 20-40 M I used this past summer - but the sensitivity seems about the same when I tap a jig on the driveway from the kitchen deck.
