Chris,
I just returned from my annual 2 week trip to Loreto, Mexico that you put together for us perfectly. It was called an off year because there wasn't any Sargasso, very cold water, and also very windy. Well for an off year my fishing partner Steve Jackson and I had a decent trip for a couple of fly guys surrounded by bait fisherman. We had to troll out big pink flies (the pink chicken) and with 14 wt. fly rods we did manage to hook around 8 sailfish, and also hooked 6 marlin. I sent you few pictures of the fish we landed then released. The bait fisherman really did good, they trolled live mackerel, most of them got sailfish and marlin daily plus large Dorados, there was this lil boy there who caught a big sailfish and a large Dorado in the same day, also there was 4 women staying next door to us, the one lady on her last day caught 2 sails, one marlin and a 38 pound Dorado! Perhaps the year of quality not quantity?

The Oasis hotel knocked themselves out again this year with outstanding service, great food, and lots of smiles, what a wonderful place, please sign up Steve and I again for 2 weeks...thanks a million.

Our boat captain was very nice, very knowledgeable. A very nice person to spend the day with.
