Deep Sea Fishing

Over the years my husband and I have been fortunate enough to take several vacations. Some of our trips have involved traveling to other countries and others have involved packing up the camping gear and boat and heading for the lakes area.

No matter what our destination our trips usually involve some outdoor activities, because we both enjoy spending time outside.

A few years ago we took a trip to Mexico. Our priest gave us the name and number of a couple that he knows that own a condominium and a deep sea fishing boat in the area we were staying in. He told us that he would call them in advance and let them know that we would contact them when we arrived.

We arrived in Mexico to wonderfully warm weather. After we checked into our hotel and spent a few hours on the beach we called the couple and made arrangements to go out deep sea fishing. The morning of the fishing trip we found the marina where they have their boat docked.

They have a large vessel with a raised captain platform and a nice cabin area. They hire a captain that knows the area for deep sea fishing. There was also a young man to help us with the baiting of the large tackle that is used to catch the fish. We started out from the marina at about six oclock in the morning. We traveled twenty six miles out to be in the best area for striped marlin. After we had been traveling for about forty minutes I noticed that my husbands color was a bit off. I was about to ask him if he was alright when he leaned over the edge to the boat to vomit. He has always been sensitive to motion and the movement of the boat along with the smell of the bait and diesel fuel was getting to him. He had taken medication before getting on the boat; however it was not helping him. Just as our host was asking if we wanted to go back to shore the bait boy indicated that there was a fish on one of the lines. My husband sat in the chair and was handed the rod. It took him over thirty minutes to land the one hundred and forty pound marlin. In between reeling in the fish and giving it more line he was throwing up into a pail. Shortly after his fish was released I hooked a forty five Maui Maui they were very excited about this because it is so good to eat. By this time my husband had the dry heaves so bad we needed to go back to shore. When we arrived at the dock my husband told me to take lots of pictures because we would never be going deep sea fishing together again. It took him the remained of the day to recuperate.
