North of Punta Allen, Mexico
Not all days of fishing can be great. The water was pretty rough heading to the south part of the bay, so the guides kept us in the more protected north part. Spent a lot of time hunting for fish. Rick had one bonefish. Rob had a couple and a great barracuda strike that didn't hook up. The barracuda, about 3 to 4 ft long, was suspended in the water about 20 ft in front of the boat. Rob tossed the fly to the side of it, started stripping it in, and in an instant, the barracuda turned and darted five feet to attack the fly, then turned back and ran off when the hook didn't grab. I have never seen a fish move that fast. I can see why Nemo's mom didn't stand a chance. Maybe we should have been using a clownfish fly...
Despite the slow fishing and a bit too much wind, we have had lots of pretty sights, some nice bird pictures, great food, and fun talking to the guides in Spanish. Tomorrow will be better.
