When Rainelda postponed for the meeting this Tuesday my visiting son and friend decided they wanted to go fishing. Thanks to Capital Bob Schmucker, the new president of the BCP and first mate Frank we had the opportunity. Since Mayra’s daughter Karina just celebrated her birthday we decided what better birthday present for an inspector of boats than to get out on one for pleasure and drag in some fish.
the day was slightly overcast as we left Boca Chica and the water pretty calm. We trolled and soon saw some humpback calves cavorting and were joined by escort of porpoises.

Then the fun began, I think the porpoises drove the fish to us.
Marina with a big eye Tuna
Marina hauling in the first of three big eye Tuna’s. Her first catch and her first Tuna.
Karina with a Dorado
Karina hauled a Dorado and we ended up with three more to join it.
We also caught several Bonita, all but one returned to the sea. In all a great day. Karina being like all the locals I know said, wácala to the tuna. I am not sure if the word wácala is Spanish or just misspelt but it means, yuk.
For the rest if us the Tuna meant, sashimi as soon as we could find the wasabi, ginger, soy and sharp knife.
Sashimi from Boca chica
looks like fun….not crazy abot Tna either ,so I agree with Karina…..but sure must have been a fun day…
my favorite sport fishing would be for Northern Pike (back in Sweden)
wacala does not have any meaning. It is use as an interjection to denote aversion, repulsion, etc.
What about your money invested in long term, high interest CD’s with HSBC? Talk about “Gone Fishing”
When hunting around for words like this in the dictionary, try substituting “gua” for “wa”.
Old-timers (like me) who cherish their dog-eared copy of “Larousse” find that the best Internet dictionary for both Spanish and Spanish to English purposes is http://www.diccionarios.com.
guácala
1 interjección Méx coloquial Se usa para expresar asco: ¡guácala!, no sé como te gusta el aguacate; esto está muy sucio, ¡guácala!

Bob, HSBC may or may not sell out their Panama entity but I doubt any investors there are at any risk
Thanks..
Good stuff Lee!
will be visiting Panama in December and would like to try the fishing.
Will be staying in Boquete for several days; would you say that Boca Chica is a good spot to go fishing out of. We will have a car and be in country for three weeks so are open to any sugestions. Thank you.
Boca Chica is good, I have been told Pedasi is far better.
