The Original Dolphin Watch (American Diving Co.)

The "Original" Dolphin Watch sailing
from the Sea Ranch Marina on South Padre Island, Tx.
The boat "Double Sun" pictured below.
We had an added bonus on this trip as the Sea Turtle
rescue people were on board to release 4 turtles
back into the bay that were rescued from the cold
a few weeks earlier.


Holding one ready to release. Really neat to see up close.

Heading to the lower deck for release.



There he goes!!!!

Another swimming away from the boat.
A Shrimp boat passed by headed out to sea.

Up close look at the dredging operation.
And then Dolphins. The weather was perfect and
there were Dolphins everywhere.
All around on every side of the boat.




Beautiful to watch! They put on a great show!

All on board had a great time on this perfect 80 degree
day and no wind. We saw the Sea turtles up close and
personal and watch them being released back into the bay.
We seemed to be in a very large Pod of Dolphins and they were
very active. A fantastic trip!!!!
THIS TRIP IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Fishing- Private Guide Service with Capt. Gencho 2/23/11

The start of a perfect day of fishing

with Captasin Gencho Buitureira.


We fished in 3 feet of water and had excellent

instructions from our guide.


Duane is pulling one in now!!


Bob was fishing from the back of the boat.


Duane, Bob and Dale in the front.


Yours truly caught the biggest fish. How about that!!


Dale caught this one.
He thought his was the biggest. Right Dale? LOL

Bob's big catch!!! He thought his was the biggest too.
Right Bob???????

Bob number 2 and his catch.


Duane with his catch.


Our group with our catch.
Speckled Trout and Pompano.

FUN! FUN! FUN! Continueous action and a really fun Guide.

Cleaning our fish.


Cleaning the fish.

We really had a great time and lots of action!!

Eating our fish together put the final touches

on a great fishing trip!!

Pelican Station did an excellent Job fixing

our fish but were not prepared to complete our

meal with sufficient quantity of side dishes. I would

not recommend Pelican Station to cook your own fresh caught fish.

We had gone to Pier 19 in the past and they did a much better job.


If you want a great guide and fun fishing trip

see Captain Gencho Buitureira. He is the very best!!!
