[Ep 65] Four Fish Hooked! An Unforgettable Day In Baja
We left Bahía de los Ángeles and headed for Ensenada el Pescador, hoping for a good sail, good fishing, and a few peaceful days at anchor.
The fishing had other plans.
We lost a lure on the way… then just before reaching the anchorage hooked into a dorado and a skipjack. We kept the lines out, kept filming, and somehow ended up with four fish on, one too small to keep and another one making a dramatic mid-air escape.
After a couple beautiful days in Pescador incoming weather and swell sent us looking for better protection.
So we rounded the corner to Ensenada el Quemado… yes, that anchorage, the same one where the bees chased us out back in Episode 58.
This time around? More fishing, calmer water, and a lure decorating party with friends.
