Chad and one of his best friends, Justin, went down to Palapas Ventanas (near Cabo) for a spearfishing trip the end of April. This place caters to spearfisherman and has all of the boats and complete setup for the perfect guys spearfishing trip. They wanted to get a good trip in before Justin and his wife, Araceli, have their first baby due the middle of June.
Chad and Justin went down there mainly looking for yellowtail and dorato but the fish weren't as abundant as they were hoping for. Mako sharks were VERY abundant though as the guys got spooked a couple of times while diving -- SCARY! That would be enough for me to call it a trip, haha! Chad still managed to bring home a 22 lb Pargo which are famous for scurrying into caves and put up quite the fight when speared - Justin helped Chad eventually get him out of the water after an hour of wrestling 40 ft down in the rocks -- It was a group effort and Chad was exhausted! He also speared a 10 lb cabrilla. They spearfished for 2 full days and spent their last full day pole fishing off of a boat were they caught quite a few sierra. Justin also managed to catch a pelican while fishing that last day, LOL!! They through him back obviously but later found out from a few locals that it's actually really good eating -- SICK!!
The place they stayed fillets and freezer packs all of the fish for them to bring it home. Needless to say we ate a ton of grilled fish, fish tacos and seviche for the next couple of weeks. It was soooo yummy!!
They had an awesome time and created a ton of lasting memories!!
Araceli, Tyler and I went to pick them up at the Palm Springs airport when they got in Sunday night. We made signs for them -- it was cute! They were soo excited to be back home with their wifeys and back in the United States.
