[guacamole]

A couple of buddies and I got taken on the sport fishing scam. We drove down to Cabo on a student’s budget back in the 90’s and when offered a great deal on a half day fishing charter – 50 dollars each, all included – we all jumped on it. We ended up way too many people on a small older boat that was taking on water with fishing gear that looked to be something my great-grandfather might have used. Lunch was a small burrito with a coke. The boat did not move – set anchor on one spot the entire morning and only two guys out of 12 or 13 caught anything worth keeping. Needless to say, nobody was complaining when the captain told us to pull our lines in – we were heading back to the dock. We still laugh about that and looks like not much has changed.
