Took a local boat out of Manzanillo while on my honeymoon. Boat was freakin scary, and did about all of 7 knots. Just fast enough to pull some skirts. Went bill fish. Started trolling right outside the mooring bouy the boat was tied to. Trolled about about 3 hours...no sonar and a hand held GPS... I wasn't real impressed. No strikes and then we pull up on a floating log. As we passed by it I looked in the water and there were about 50 triple tails around the log. I couldnt' believe it, I would have given anything for a light tackle rod....but they didn't speak english and apparently don't care for triple tail:banghead
Trolled back in for 3 more hours. I sawa couple of marlin jump and one sail fish jump on the way in, but nothing. As we get close we troll down the cliffs and hook up a dolphin about 100 yards away from the mooring bouy....i couldn't believe it. I would say it went about 20lbs and had a cow with him that was about the same size....of course we didn't catch that one.
It was an interesting trip, but not to impressive....pictures are on the way. I think with a modern set up and some dedication the fish would have been jumping in the boat....frustrating.
