I shot two mackerels while laying on the sand at about 20 meters (66 feet). I landed both by putting no resistance on my reel. When I shot the second one, to my absolute amazement, half my line was out before I got to the surface! That tiny fish had dragged a shaft that weighted… Read More »
Whenever I don’t have a cold it seems that every sick person feels cheated and will jump at any opportunity to swipe some of their snot on my food or face… This is no paranoia. The legions were out to get me! The lady at the bakery that coughed all over my food and used… Read More »
The last two weeks were a transition period according to the locals. There were very few fish. I was lucky to shoot a wahoo and some pan fish. Three days ago, the water cleared up quite a bit, the temperature must have changed but my watch still said 21C. That day, I saw groupers and… Read More »
I was fishing somewhere south of La Paz. I began my day by paddling 30 minutes and anchoring, only to find out I did not have the top part of my wetsuit… So I jumped in without my suit and took the anchor out. The seas were rough enough for me to have to turn… Read More »

December 14, 2018. I was diving an hour from La Paz. I was looking for snappers and groupers. That day I found very little fish. When I finally did, they were hiding in holes past 25 meter (80 feet) and they were not big. I got a yellow snapper at 26 meters and a grouper… Read More »
I made this gun 12 years ago. I found these old pages in the archives… I still use that gun regularly. Further down you’ll see my second hockey gun as well as the mech of a white oak speargun I used in Puerto Rico ages ago. Hockey stick gun with trigger activated line release! It… Read More »
December 1st, 2018 Weather Underground was predicting 10 km/h winds from the NW, so I drove to Ventanas in the hope of getting one of the few flat-water days of the area. I don’t particularly like Ventanas or Sargento, it’s too shallow and the spots are way sandy, but I do visit once in a… Read More »
Comme la plupart des chasseurs qui utilisent un kayak, je dois parfois faire plusieurs centaines de mètres pour accéder à l’eau. Même pour les grandes distances, je préfère le transporter sur mes épaules parce que c’est plus facile, et tellement viril! Quand même, l’an dernier j’ai dû me résoudre à trouver une autre façon de… Read More »
Monday (November 19, 2018) I went fishing south of La Paz. I was looking for the usual suspects: snappers and the odd pelagic. I dove late in the day since I had (online) work to do in the morning. I do like diving later, if only because the local commercial fishermen have already taken their… Read More »
