yellowtail,bonita and humbolt squid

I was sitting around waiting to go clamming and the neighbor walks over and asks if i want to go fishing.
What's a guy to say? Heck yes! We hopped on his baja bayrunner and put a nice 15lb yellowtail in the box then a nice bonita and couldn't keep the squid off the lines.Sashimi,last night,yellowtail tonight. Anyone know of a good way to prepare the squid? I've heard of soaking it in milk and baking soda so that's what we're going to try later.                  Just a tip...

IN CARMEL?!?!??!?!?!?!? Or are you on Cozumel!??

ooooopppps , that was from bay of L.A, Mexico.

 We BBQ'd the yellowtail last night,KILLER!!! Grilled the bonita with cilantro butter and sauted the squid after soaking it in milk and baking soda and then tenderizing it like Abalone.Tender and sweet!
 My Brother and his wife arrive tomorrow for more fun and adventure. Going free diving for scallops and clams in the morning. Ah Mexico..... Just a tip...

No pictures = never happened. Thanks for the "imaginary" report anyway (j/k) 

This recipe for jumbo squid was given to me by a panguero a few years ago:

Cut mantle into thick strips about 3 inches wide.

Place one strip onto large bait hook and catch yellowfin tuna.

Prepare YFT in favorite recipe and enjoy with cold cerveza.

Oh you're killing me!

What type of clams and scallops are you diving for? I camped in Mulege once and dove for ice cream scallops.
They were these very large ice cream cone shaped shells buried in the sand. Muy bueno   
I'm very envious of your trip.

April fools day is over.

The scallops are rock scallops and found close to shore and not very deep at all. The clams are small cockles and are everywhere on sandy beaches. We go to the estuary and can get a 5 gallon bucket full in about 1 hour using a garden claw tool and digging about 3" down. Yellowtail are being elusive but bonita are plentiful.
What's that they say about the worst day fishing? Just a tip....
