Russ... fishing in the Guaymas area is amazing. One morning I got up and wanted fish for breakfast so I jumped in the dinghy and before I got 15 feet I had a Sierra Mackeral (one of my favorites) in the boat.
"Well, heck", I thought. "I'm not done fishing yet." So I started the little outboard up and, still inside San Carlos' outer harbor, went another 15 feet and BAM, another Sierra. This repeated several times until it dawned on me that I had far too many fish for us to eat or even keep cold. So I motored around the anchorage giving fish away until I just had one and I took that one home for breakfast.
I am truly sorry your dad didn't get to take you fishing with him in Guaymas. I was 40 when our son was born in the Pabellon Guadalupe in 1983 and I took him fishing many times before we headed back to put our daughter into school in the USA like her mom wanted. Not so much in Guaymas but over on the Baja side where he got to watch Mahi Mahi look us in the eye and spit, spit the lure at us, and swim away. He even got to run the boat now and then.
Que le vaya bien,

Gracias mi amigo nuevo!
To add a bit more to the twist....my youngest son died last month at the age of 21, he will be buried in one of his favorite places in Mexico. That's how deep this affection goes. We did get to fish together but we didn't have enough time together.......you gotta live while you are alive!
