     Bob Woodard at the cockpit controls of his Christina Lynn provides valuable assistance in helping battle a hooked billfish. Believe me in the heat and humidity off mainland Mexico an angler needs all the help he or she can get.  January, 2007

Pat Woodard is a happy angler while fighting a sailfish baitfish aboard her boat Christina Lynn between Papanoa and Acapulco.  January, 2007.

It has been hot and humid in Ixtapa and Acapulco and getting into the water at the end of the day has been a must.  Here Bob Woodard, Pat Woodard and Dee Van Horne enjoy the pool adjacent to Marina Ixtapa. January, 2007

Kindred Spirits enjoy the dolphin aquarium at Ixtapa, Mexico. It was a great experience and one of the true highlights of my trip. January, 2007

Getting in the water every day is a must in the hot and humid weather.  Bob Woodard and Dee Van Horne enjoy an afternoon swim while anchored at Isla Roca at Acapulco.  January, 2007.

After catching the first albacore of 2004 Bob Hoose and Todd Garrett went in to the Cortes Bank proper to look for some yellowtail. What they found were some schools of 8 to 10 pound bonito biting on surface iron.  What was more impressive than the bonito fishing was the big surf breaking on the Cortes Bank.  Bob reported that there were 15 to 20 foot faces on the waves.
