November 21 - Fish

Kirk and I had a walk on the beach where he can run free and he is learning not to kick sand in his own face.  Cam, myself and 2 friends headed out for an explore around the area leaving Kirk with friends who don't mind his company as dogsitters.  We checked out some possible boat rentals in Rincon, some on shore fishing spots, watched some guys trying to net fish, admired some horses who came up to watch the fish netters too, toured the high end casas many of which are se vente (sale) or se renta and drove into the agricultural areas close to La Penita where the walking club had discovered some Glossy Ibises.

Boats for rent in Rincon

Hmm, that looks like fun

Looking north, across the creek, to the beach at La Peñita.

Hmm, horses look like fun too

When we got back to the RV park a couple of guys with a 16 ft Lund here had just returned from fishing 8 miles out.  They had some serious fishing gear and had caught 3 Mahi Mahi (largest was 22.5 lbs) and 2 Chula.  Chula are only 4 to 6 lbs and the gringos don't eat them so they gave them to one of the Mexican guys working in the park.   Apparently Chula are tuna like and have a very dark red meat.  I looked it up and some articles said they've had it as sushi.

So, if we weren't so cheap we could rent the boats, nets, horses, and fishing gear!

I think we might have to go for the fishing trip, we'll see if shore fishing gets us anywhere or maybe someone from the park will take us out.
