Mexican Navy?
Well hooked up to a nice fish...ended up being a black sea bass, nice little fight and nice little visit from a gunner boat with a Mexican flag waving. Guy aboard told me in broken english that "they doing exercise, you need to go." I show him I'm hooked up, he shrugs his shoulders and points to my north like keep moving. Needless to say I'm not messing with a guy and his 50 cal. I do my best to "drag" the fish with me. Anyway this all happened in front of the oceanside harbor just past the artificial reefs. The best part of the story is I was there all Fricken morning and they pull up around 9 and anchor 500 yards outside of me. Did they not see me there? Huge ocean to do exercises on and they choose that spot where a solo kayaker just happens to be? Anyway got the fish to the surface took a quick floating shot and with my paddle sent him/her back down to be caught again. Why on earth is Mexico doing exercises in front of a US harbor...the whole time I'm just hoping to see some American vessels it was a little weird being surrounded by the Mexican military out there when I wasn't in Mexican waters...hey at least they didn't try and board my kayak right?!! Rant over but in all seriousness I hope they get the fu@k out of the fishing grounds!
