GO back to the end of the 1st page of this post.

Thanks Bob.

I myself get lost using this thing called computer.

However, this is how I have learned to post pictures. Others may have a better way.

First I upload from either the camera, or using the card in the camera to a website called Picasa3.com.

Once you register on the site, you just click on "upload" icon and it does it.

Then I choose the pictures I want to save and give it a file name.

Once it is loaded on Picasa3, I again chose the pictures that I want to post and click on "export" icon. This provides a file on the computer.

In the past, I was able to get an "IMG" link from Picasa3. For some reason I cannot now.


Thus, I now go to another website called photobucket.com. Once I upload from my computer to photobucket, it provides me with the "IMG" code.

When you insert the IMG code in the text box, the picture appears on the screen.


The moral of the story is that somehow you need an IMG code for every picture to post that pictures.

It can be intimidating at first, but it becomes second nature once you try several times.


This is an example of an IMG code. I made it incomplete, so the code and not the picture appears here.

If I can do it anybody can do it.

Here is the picture of the above IMG code.

I want to start with a big shout out for what MakoBob is doing making these trips sooooooo good. The new camp he's working on finishing by the end of the year can only be described a location "fishing trip to remember for a lifetime" GOOD!

Thanks again Mako for everything. The other members of the private trip will take a couple of weeks off next year to drive a total of fourty-five hundred miles just to do it again, and that in it's self is a testament to how great of a time you provide.

FISHING REPORT for the October group.

Things started out pretty slow because of weather (over one inch of rain in a hour on Wednesday night) mucking up the water to near zero visibility. The water quickly clear up, and the clearer it got the better the bite. The fish are biting everything jigs, plugs, spoons. swimmers, spinbaits and irons.

The Rooster fish are out in force all along the beach, a nod to the fly fishermen. I did not even try to target them. I caught my personal best Sierra, big and fat. Lots of Spotted Bass, Rivera Grouper, and some monster Triggerfish mixed in with the usual sized. Released a half dozen small Leopard Grouper (Cabrilla) and one that pushed 9 or 10 pounds (also released). The fish of the week however were the Orange Mouth Corvina, lots were caught in the 19 to 24 inch range, but we saw larger ones that would take the jig we were using.

I found a small group of Yellowtail near the cliffs in 18 feet of water tearing up a bait school. A quick cast and I was hooked up before the splash settled, and two seconds later it was running down between the rocks and broke my line. I grabbed my backup rig and tossed out a candy bar again, same result as before. The water was two shallow with to many boulders to stop from being rocked. The next few days I charged every bait school I saw active on the surface, but didn't find the yellows again.

While fishing the beach for Corvina we witnessed a large feeding frenzy of some large fish a half to three quarters of a mile out. The boil broken into two distinct boils and lasted just over ten minutes. We could not get there in time.

It's great fishing right now, water temperature was 88 degrees F. You guys are in for a great trip, take plenty of tackle and take some wire at times.

Thank you and your brothers, Ben it was another great trip. As you know the camp is moving along, Concrete floor and ramp should be done by mid October with the bathrooms following in November. Should be ready to host a dozen people for NEW YEAR'S 2016!!! I plan on leaving here on the 26/27th of Dec and coming back on the 9th of Jan 2016. BWE is invited, this place is dedicated to our COMMUNITY. You need not come for the whole trip. Come and stay a few days or the whole time. Last year Chuck D nailed WSB two days in a row. It is easy to get to and if you cannot caravan with me I will have signs posted and give travel directions. 350 easy miles from San Diego.

This was ONLY a dream 20 years ago, soon it will be a reality. I hope you all get the chance to enjoy it. Tight lines.

I spoke to Travis and we be carpooling. There are a few things that we will need to work out due to the distance we live apart from each other.

Bob,

I think I read that you have a stove there. Is that true or should I bring the one I have?

Thanks,

[monstahfish]

Also wondering about the grill/stove situation.

[buddha]

Always a good idea to have at least one backup camp stove. If you have room please bring it. I know that Makobob has at least one camp stove.

[Gr8fuldude]

I'll be bringing a JetBoil with plenty of fuel. Pretty much only good for boiling water but people are welcome to use it. Can be used for instant coffee, oatmeal, soup, or anything else that can be cooked in hot water.

[MrPukaShell]

I will bring my 3 burner camp stove, wok & griddle.

One more question, how big were the roosters last week? I have an 8 and a 10 weight but I would much rather use the 8 if possible.

[Mahigeer]

Any suggestions as what fly to use for roosters?

I have a selection of deceivers, but I have seen on YouTube about a homemade fly by a guide that worked great.

I wish I could go but I have to work ...5 more years before I can retire good luck and safe passage catch lots of fish

The beef is really lacking in Asunción. About the only beef you can get is a thinly sliced flap meat that would be great for beef jerky. No matter how I fix it it turns out like jerky. They some times have done big meaty beef ribs which is a great, bit I don't know what happens to the rest of the cow.

Just got back from a couple days of outrageous big yellowtail fishing between.Bahia Tortuga and Punta Eugenia. 4 fish totaling 167 pounds..Hopefully mt Loncheria with WiFi is open tomorrow so I can post some photos and the whole story.

I sent you a few PMs regarding the Thanksgiving meal.

Do you like stuffing I always like that for a thanksgiving dinner. A lot of the stuff can be cooked the day before so that we can eat early. Did you want to eat at 3:30? I like candied yams also and they are easy to make.

How does this sound?

Turkey, mashed potatoes candied yams, stuffing, gravy, and simple salad.

I can do it all and you can fish with the guys.

Let me know what time you want to have dinner.

Sorry Jeff, I forgot to respond to the PM. That all sounds great. I'm not a fan of stuffing myself but I am probably in the minority so go for it.. I'm hungry just thinking about the meal. Gravy lots of Gravy!.
