Starting to prepare for the pilgrimage to Akumal in November. I am excited to try some new techniques--namely, butterfly jigging while drifting. I have read up on it, now if I can muster enough money to buy some of the equipment needed...I have semi-reserved my date with Pesca Maya for flats fishing and plan to try to make two trips down to Ascencion Bay this year. Also, we went ahead and rented a car for the trip so we are "no strings attached" to go to Boca Paila a few times--very excited about that.
Anyway, watch for more information in the next few days about preparations and equipment procurement.

Butterfly and other Jigs
My new technique this year: deep jigging or freestyle jigging with Shimano Butterfly jigs, Deadly Dicks, Krocodiles, Williamson speed jigs, diamond jigs, and Offshore Angler Freestyle jigs (not pictured).
Trolling (mostly) Lures
Some Magnum Rapalas and X Raps and a Saltwater Sliver, a big Yozuri popper, bonita, Cuda Tube and a Williamson ballyhoo swimbait.
