2 Tuna and 3 dorado on June 19, 2010

2010-06-21T11:20:00.000-07:00

Shown here is Jason Propp, proudly displaying the fruits of a nice mini-tuna bite struck off the coast of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Jason and Carla Morris bagged the tuna in rapid succession, both reeling in the fish in less than 5 minutes. Not bad. Three small dorado were plucked out individually later in the day, bringing the fish count to 5. There was one large dorado hooked, but he threw the lure almost immediately, before anyone could get a handle on him. On this trip the anglers were Tim Britton, Silvia Rodriguez, Jason Propp, Carla Morris, Jim Mansbridge and Mike Mallett. The Captain was Chino, and Beto was the mate.

Shown here are Ray, his three sons, and their two friends with the spoils of a nice day fishing the San Jaime bank off Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Apparently Ray's 70th birthday present was a trip to Cabo for for golfing and fishing. Not bad. Three nice tuna caught on the Pacific aboard the Reel Slippery Lizzard hopefully made it a little nicer. Happy birthday Ray, you don't look a day over 65!

Brandon Bryant's first Marilin!

2010-04-16T08:30:00.000-07:00

On April 15, Craig, Alan, Brandon, Virginia, and Page Bryant all went out on the Reel Slippery Lizzard for some deep sea sportfishing. Brandon got a Marlin (his first), Paige a Jack Crevalle (Toro), and Virginia reeled in a nice dorado. Lobo was Captain, Chino mate, and Jim Mansbridge, our official IGFA observer was along as well.

Brandon fought in his 97 inch Striped Marlin in just under 10 minutes. Here is some footage of the fight (bottom). Nice work, Brandon.

Mako!!

Tim Britton caught his first Shark aboard the Reel Slipery LIzzard today. A 73 lb Mako. Despite conflicting reports on how to prepare the fish, All 45 lbs will be consumed in the next few weeks, hopefully at the Misiones Pool Bar Fish Fry this Friday night. Come join us!

Whale Watching - 14 March

2010-03-21T10:48:00.001-07:00

Many thanks to Jim and Karen miller for this great footage of their recent whale watching trip aboard the Reel Slippery Lizzard. The whales seemed to be rather playful that day, almost too playful for one of the pangas!

Steve Preece's first Dorado

2010-03-03T08:12:00.000-08:00

Though an avid fisherman with almost every type of fish under his belt, Steve Preece was yet to bag a dorado. Towards the end of the day on Sunday, he hooked a nice 20 lb cow dorado and reeled it in nicely. Well done, Steve.

Rylan Denney's first dorado!

2010-01-06T03:24:00.000-08:00

On January 6, 2010, Rylan Denney caught his first dorado aboard the Reel Slippery Lizzard. Ryan, 8 years old, was on a sportfishing day trip with his family in Cabo San Lucas, and we couldn't be more pleased that he mastered his first fish with one of our crews. Well done, Ryan!! We are sure this is the first of many.

2 Marlins and 4 Dorado on 11/24/09

The 104 inch marlin

The following VIDEO and still photos are from the 24th Novemeber aboard the REEL SLIPPERY LIZZARD, our 43 foot Bertram. Jim Britton, Tim Britton, and Jim Mannsbridge were the Anglers, Franscisco was the Gaffer, and LOBO was captain. The guys caught 2 Marlin (both released) and 4 Dorado (1 released). Combined, they consumed 24 Pacificos.

Jim Britton fought his marlin for 40 minutes (see video below). It was measured at 104 inches, once we finally got him on the deck. He was released, having no damage to his gills.

Jim Mannsbridge's marlin had the line caught around his tail, so Jim had to fight him on the surface and bring him in quickly, to prevent the line from damaging the fin. This marlin survived - you can see they quickly popped the leader. It took Jim only 5 minutes or so to fight him into submission (see video below).

John Stamp with his marlin

The following photos are from the 20th November aboard the REEL SLIPPERY LIZZARD, our 43 foot Bertram. Jim Britton, John Stamp, and some fellas whose names I don't know were the Anglers, Francisco was the Gaffer, and Lobo was captain. The guys caught 1 Marlin and 12 Dorado.

John Stamp fought his marlin for almost an hour. It was measured at 102 inches, once they finally got him on the deck. Unfortunately, the boys weren't able to release the marlin, as it did not survive the fight. This was John's first marlin. Congratulations, John!
