Almost skunked!

Edwin came by this AM and wanted to know if we wanted to go fishing. Peggy was off to yoga but Ed- Si, senor! So, Edwin, his wife Mariana, daughter April and Ed took off. Bottom fishing for trigger fish. Bought bait and we were on our way! We fished just out from the marina. Lots of bites. Lots of big bites. Edwin reeled in the first trigger. Then, the second. Then, the third. All the while Ed was just feeding the fish ( lots of bites but no fish). Finally Edwin caught another! Enough is enough! So we  trolled  back, trying to catch a barracuda (Edwin's favorite), but no luck. Edwin offered to cook the fish at his parents cockteleria (small restaurant) El Farito ( the lighthouse). As usual it was perfect. Great food , good friends (Ed's mother Aida even peeled the skin off Peggy's fish for her), and of course, a cold Modelo beer!  At the end of the evening, Aida, as always gave her standard farewell, "Hasta manana" (until tomorrow) as if it's expected that we will stop by again tomorrow and there's a good chance we will!
