Going to Sandiego-BahaArea I think to fish for Big fish..
any1 here experienced down there?
-
I'm not BGB but wanted to stop by and wish ya luck!
-
If you go a bit south to Cabo San Lucas you will not be disapointed.. Don't know about San Diego though.
-
I was out fly fishing both days this weekend. Hope ya have better luck than I did. :)
Going back out this eve... It's personal now.
-
Can't do it (Deep sea fishing). Much vomiting.
Done it before...5 times. Each time was a new experience in hell.
Vomit Vomit Vomit
You know, if you discovered that your enemy was prone to seasickness and you needed him to talk, all you gotta do is put him on a boat and let him float. He'll talk...oh yes, he'll talk. ;)
It is fun catching some big fish though. I've seen Wahoo and sharks each go after a fish that had already been caught (and baited with a fish) that was being hauled in. It is a real life lesson in the "food chain" when you pull in half of a large tuna or porgy.
If that damn boat would just stop messing with my inner ear I'd love it.
-
Must be hell to live on a little Island and get sea-sick. All my fishing is Atlantic/gulfcoast, but I have done some Pacific in Mexico and Guatemala.
Are you chartering?
-
I remember talking about this with someone I worked with years ago, I think it was tuna fishing, not sure. Anyway , he said that some let you keep the fish but others keep the fish you catch, not sure though, I could be way off.

It is only offshore that I get sick. I lose sight of land I start hurling about an hour or two later.
Other than that I am good.
I lead a normal, healthy, active aquatic lifestyle. :)

Trick to fighting off sea sickness. Keep your eyes glued to the horizon and concentrate on thinking about green apples.
Don't ask me why... but it works.
-
..and you are supposed to do this and fish and be somewhat social all at the same time all day? Not possible. I understand why people say it would work but you have to stay rivited on the horizon for it to work.
Once the sickness starts there is no stopping it. Your inner ear loses it's balance and the constant motion of the boat keeps it out of whack.
-
Well...
Once sea sickness sets in - you're done for the day. When I was a kid my holidays consisted of weeks/months on a sailboat. I didn't really ever get sea sick. But when we took company out and they got it, it became about maintainance. Yeah, fishing and everything else is over... the trick is in not having to return to shore immediately on account of them.

EXACTLY correct.
Chartering a fishing boat isn't cheap though, by any streach. No amount of vomitting by one person is getting that boat to turn around, I'm afraid.
This is why I use the term "hell" to describe the experience.
-
Dramamine really does help.
I've had some friends go down there for tuna fishing and had a great time, I've never been down there personally.
I have fished off of Catalina on overnight trips many times, it's fun but it's not deep sea fishing.
-
Rgr that Curval.
I don't know how often you've seen it, but I've always been kind of blown away that almost invariably, the puke from a sea sick person is a real liquidy greenish yellow. Taking all the usual contributors into consideration, it still doesn't account for it.
Uhm...
yeah... :)
-
When I was running charters, it was pretty much a set pattern:
The party would arrive the night before, get drunker than Cooter Brown, arrive at the dock late and hungover, eat a bunch of sweet crap and slam some soft drinks. It never surpised me they were puking before we cleared the jetties.
Here is how you can go offshore and not get sick:
Don't try and drink until 3:00 am when the boat is leaving at 6:00AM.
Don't drink or eat anything sweet; eat a rib-sticking breakfast like bisquits, gravy and ham(eggs are not a good thing either), or a couple of breakfast tacos.
Do not go below. Stay on deck, as near to the center of the boat as possible, the bridge is the best place, if there is room.
Do not crack a beer at 6:30. Our suggestion/boat rule was no beer till the first fish is on the boat or 11:00AM, which ever happens first.
Stay busy! Do something, anything, except for reading.
Sea-sickness medications work by making you sleep. Save yourself a thousand bucks if you want to sleep and stay at the hotel.

Naughty evil wicked Kanth.
Away with thee vile temptress!
It's just that kind of talk that pursuaded me to go FIVE times. I tried dramamine...I tried 3 or 4 different medicine man, old wives tale remedy "...mines". I even wore a patch behind my ear on one occasion which was supposed to balance my inner ear out. I thanked very much the person who recommended that "cure" which resulted in about 6 or 7 hours of vomiting.
Nash is right. The colour he is referring to is bile. Starts out pretty yellow (once of course you have completely emptied your stomach of food matter...orally) then darkens, sometimes a green hue, sometimes black, the more you puke. There's no alcohol involved, nothing that can possibly make you feel better when you get similarly sick from booze. You just simply squeeze the very essense out of your stomach's bile sac and empty the mess into the ocean through your mouth...over and over again.
My wife wants me to do a cruise with her. I'm worried that I will pay alot of money to feel this way again.
Perhaps you can understand my aprehension now. ;)
Turns the crossed arms towards Lizking......

Here is my next trip-Leaving on Thursday:
(http://www.lizking.com/chubcay.jpg)
The first day, we will cross to Bimini and fish(green shading), and spend the evening in the Compleat angler, drinking rum and tossing rings. Day 2 we will cross the banks to the Tongue of the Ocean and Chub Cay. The banks are pretty shallow, 6-30 feet, so we will just run and not fish, though we will probably do some snokeling, if it is calm.
The rest of the time, we will fish the red shaded area, depending upon winds and seas. We fly out on a small private plane, the brothers and I, on Tuesday, and I am looking forward to that ride across the banks too.
We will be fishing for Marlin, but will probably also catch dolphin, wahoo, sail, and tuna. All we do is troll, dragging big plastics; 6 lines out, 4 on riggers, 2 flat with 2 strings of daisy-chained squid for teasers. I am packed and ready.
-
That aside, I have used it and it's worked for me fine on overnite trips.
I'm going to guess that since everyone's chemistry is different, it won't work for everyone. But it was great for me, like I wasn't on a continuously rocking boat with nothing but deisel smell, eggs and people horking up over the railing for 8 hours.
:D

Dramamine works fine, but it makes you sleep. Why spend a couple grand to go sleep offshore?
-
Have been doing that since 1964 LizKing, it's a lot of fun, watch your limits they impound boats and Bahamian Jails are real third world stuff I'm told. It's a shorter trip from Key Biscayne than from Lauderdale BTW. about 1-1/2 hours on our boat.
-
Yeah, I have a lot of time in the Bahamas. As an aside, my stupid little brother, while working on a 120 footer as divemaster/toymaster, caught some kind of reef fish for the on-board aquarium. The port inspector noticed them and it cost the owner $30,000 Cash to get the boat off the island(French Martinque), so we are sensitive to the issue.
Pop lives in Lauderdale and docks his boat behind the house, that is why we leave from there.
-
Lizking, you better post some pics of fish:)
-
I certainly hope to.
-
Here is about the only video I have online-It is a Guatamalean Sailfish, about 100#, being wired and released.

Im sure your boyfriend feels the same way about you.

sorry, only liberals have homosexual tendencies. why does the thread need to degenerate to this level? I will stop responding to you in kind. If you continue your bellicose attitude towards us clearly intellectually superior neocons I will stop responding to you all together. After all what fault is it of ours if your maturity level engine is stuck in 1st gear? Move on man. examine your values periodically.
-
Hey Lizking how long of a trip is it from Lauderdale? that was a very nice sail. Was it on the East or West Coast of Guatemala?
-
That is a Pacific sail, we averaged 10 a day per boat over 3 days. Bimini is 45-50 miles from Lauderdale, about 3 hours on Pop's boat.

you are the one who decided to jump in on something you had nothing to do with and attack me. Don't be mad just because I am better at your game than you are. And spare me your "high road" bs, its too early for your hypocrisy.
Ever hear of "Log Cabin Republicans" genius?
-
The Log cabin republicans.
an organization of homosexuals claiming to be republican.. If fact they are a subversionist group attempting to undermine the profamily underpinnings of the republican party.
http://www.logcabin.org
They are:
pro infanticide
pro homosexual marriage
pro homosexual military service
to name a few. they claim to be socially liberal and fiscally conservative.
I would say that except for the fiscally conservative part they are a close match for you. Think about it, you would feel right at home and perhaps find a soul mate.
good luck with your search, gender confusion does cause so many problems these days.
Peace.
-
What does all that have to do with fishing?
-
Lizking whats your record for the ring game.. how many consecutive hits have you gotten in a row...
my best 9......
Drink some Kalik for me.......
DoctorYo
-
I don't think I have ever gotten 9 in a row-2 or 3 is good for my drunk ass, usually.

If you must hijack a thread at least do it with some style instead of all this worthless crap

dangit i was really getting into this thread till the political dweebs had to sound off! GO AWAY! start your own thread!:mad:

we hijacked it fair n' square, look even u are participating

Well, Instead of getting on an airplane at 8:40 this morning for S. Florida, I spent some time in the hospital getting the paperwork ready for my wifes surgery. It was scheduled for 2 weeks from now, but hey had an opening on Monday, so we chose to take it.
Ah well, I doubt the boys will catch ALL the fish.
-
I went fishing SW of San Diego summer before last and had a great time. Our boat caught 175 tuna and one Dorado. Bluefin, Yellowtail and Albacore. I've also been fishing in Mexico several times and Cabo is the best. Last time I was down there I caught a 20 lb. Dorado, a 40 lb. Yellowfin, a 50 lb. Yellowfin and lost a 40 lb. Dorado right at the boat. Took the filets up to the "Rusty Pelican" in San Jose del Cabo and our softball team had a feast. We had two huge platters of shashimi tuna(yum, yum). The first time I ever fished in Cabo I caught a Striped Marlin. It took two hours to get it in the boat.(http://[img]http://www.onpoi.net/ah/pics/users/32_1083270425_tuna4.jpg)[/IMG]
The little fish is a Sierra and makes great ceviche.
-
looks like a mackarel to me. in spanish kingfish is serrucho which means saw sierra could be a mountain chain or a circular saw.
-
There are Spanish Mackerel, and Cerro Makerel, two distinct types. Spanish are so oily they are barely fit to eat, Cerro are just about right.

Once you are miles from shore, be sure to cast as hard as you can so that your bait is really, really far from the boat.
The other fishermen will envy your fishing prowess.
-
Ya I hate spanish mackerel, but we use it for bait. never tried cerro. usually the only mackerel family I'll eat is King.
