Thought you guys would like this. Went out to breakfast with my sons, & spotted this guy in the window of a consignment shop across the street. Brought it home & now it is hanging on the wall in my home office. It is 48" long. They had a few others too, all similar size - yellowfin tuna, roosterfish, wahoo, jack crevalle, & (I think) a rainbow runner.

Looks like you still had a great day Jack’s put up a great fight the water condition looks like a normal day where we fish. That boat style is called a panga. It is used throughout Central America, Mexico, and the Entire Caribbean. I have fished in one many times from calm seas to rougher seas, Both inshore and off. Their design allows them to take rough seas and be stable. I do agree PF D’s are a good thing on any boat.

Those two surf dudes have no idea how lucky they are. Yeah I wouldn’t want to go out very far in boats that size. Yikes. Thanks for sharing though. Love ceviche made with whatever is good in it. Striper is also great in ceviche.

Very nice! Your sons are blessed to have a dad that helps them pursue their interests. Probably a dream come true for them and you made memories they will carry forever. Bonus getting out and fishing too!

[quote=Jarheadfishnfool]Yes, Pangas are very common in the East Cape Baja too , guide said we were out about 20 miles on a 22' Panga out of Loreto BC ,along with about 10 other Pangas , Targeting Yellow Tail & Dorado ,it was a blast
These pangas are incredibly sturdy & seaworthy. They launch through the surf, and when they return they run full speed toward shore, tilt the engine up, and run right up on the sand. First time I experienced that was quite the surprise.
The boats here in Nicaragua are made in Mexico, so the same pangas you know from there. Our skipper has 30 years of experience, & his panga has all the necessary electronics. He can tear down & rebuild everything himself, and knows these waters extremely well. We felt very safe.

Some of you may remember my posts last year at this time, when I took my 2 teenage surf dudes to Nicaragua for a surf trip, & squeezed in a couple of fishing trips while we were at it.
Well, we are back for a repeat this year, and brought one of their buddies as well. We got out today & conditions were tough, due to high winds, which kept us closer to shore. We weren't able to find our target species (yellowfin tuna & mahi/dorado), but still managed a good day.
We trolled for 5 hours & got 2 big jacks, a barracuda (fantastic ceviche), a couple needlefish, & a Bonito. Also hooked a wahoo, but it cut the line.
Most important, the boys were enthusiastic to go again, so we will do that if the winds die down. Until then, surf's up!
