3. Did you say WAHOO? We say WAHOO! At Baja’s Awesome Sportfishing, we LOVE to fish for WAHOO. Sharing the vaulted position of fastest fish in the sea with the incredible Black Marlin, they are equally stealthy, challenging to find and catch, and have razor sharp teeth that can rip open their prey as well as an unsuspecting fisherman! But once caught, they are considering the filet mignon of the sea and when prepared (NEVER overcook fish) will melt in your mouth. This coming Saturdy, August 21, is the East Cape Wahoo Tournament. Our incredibly popular and very ‘fishy’ ‘Awesome’ boat is in the water and we’d love to have you on board and help you hunt for Wahoo during this tournament. We are tournament winners and take pride in our work and meeting your needs. Please reply to theresa@bajasawesome.com to fish this tournament or visit our website at www.bajasawesomesportfishing.com to make your booking immediately. Be Awesome! We ask that you are fully vaccinated to fish with us to keep our Captain, crew and community safe.

4. Just a note that even though we are in the middle of pandemic do not forget other infection sources. With recent heavy rains pooled water is a vector for mosquitoes who carry Dengue Fever , malaria and other problems. If you have standing water try to drain it and if not possible just put small amount of diesel in water and it will disperse and cover with a shiny surface the water. this will kill the larve of the mosquito. A safety precaution for all to remember. Stay healthy all. Dr Dean Ettinger (I call it Puddle Patrol! Cheryl)

7. We like to keep our 500 liter propane pretty full during hurricane season.  We were down to 70 percent and a truck went by so we thought it would be a good time to get it filled up.  We expected the tank would take about 150 liters.  The vendor was new to us but we had never had a problem before.  They did some weird stuff before filling our tank but I didn’t think anything of it.  Well they said they put in 225 liters which was much more than expected.  I challenged the driver and he showed me that that was what it was.  Lesson learned and I paid.  The company is named ECO Gas.  Just be careful when getting propane from these guys. – renotarich@yahoo.com
