WOW!

That just about sums up our trip to the VanWormer Resorts and Hotel Palmas De Cortez. A group of 5 of us just came back from a 4 night stay Sunday night from Hotel Palmas De Cortez and had the time of our lives.

Just a few short hours from LAX and we were in paradise with a cold drink in our hands looking out at a flat calm Sea of Cortez with temperatures near 80 degrees, and talking about what our fishing day may bring to us the next day. The excitement built even more as we were on our patio watching quite a show of fish boiling just a few yards off the beach.

A nice relaxing day but day two was a bit different. We headed down to our boat not knowing what the day would bring. Things started out pretty bleak but the day was still awesome with whales, dolphin, manta rays, and more jumping out of the water. Then we spotted a marlin jumping off our bow. The Captain gunned the engines to get in front of it, tossed a bait and Elissa Mak was hooked up for her first marlin and the ride of her life. Not something she or I will forget for the rest of our lives.

After Elissa decked her fish it wasn't long before we had another hook up. It was little Amei Friedman's turn in the chair. By the way, her first time fishing and weighing in at just 95 pounds. Not only was it a hook up but a double hook up. So Amei and myself did the old marlin shuffle for about 20 minutes till both of us brought our first ever to the boat. The fish weighed in at 130 to 150 pounds and what a rush it was for someone who has never done anything like this before. We headed back to the dock early so we could enjoy the rest of the day relaxing around the pool.

For our second day of fishing we were tired and sore from the day before so we asked our captain to just look around for dorado and sierra. We had no luck as it was a slow day for the fleet on the dorado but there were plenty of marlin flags a flying.

Palmas de Cortez is a great place to be and you know its home of Fiesta de 976-TUNA in May. We had a great time and it was even better being there with some good friends. Bring the wife or girlfriend even if she doesn't fish as there is plenty for them to do when the guys are out fishing.

It's more than just a fishing trip. Snorkeling, spa, relaxing, ATV, zip lines, great food in town, and so much more.

Good times - Good friends - Good fishing
