    Sea Shepherds

    Sitting off the port. God bless them. They're trying to manage a resource that the Mexicans couldn't. And they know they can't because of that. Meh. Love'em or hate'em, it's a very tough position to be in. In my heart, I believe the vaquitas are history. Sad as it might be.

    JJ"s Cantina to Change Owners, Remodel in January

    Always loved JJ's, but only for drinks! Never touched their food.

    Sewer Lakes In Mirador Area

    Reminds me of the Calle 13 sewage overflow. Once it dried up, everyone was eating that dust in their tacos. I ate, anything that doesn't kill me only makes me stronger, as gross as it might be.

    Best time to fish in relation to tides? March 2022

    Get to da reef before high tide, an hour. Set up, and fish the slack tide until it starts to go out. Sage advice.

    Sliding glass doors

    Aluminum corrodes. From some of the Sandy Beach condos I've seen, the aluminum frames get rough in the salt air and are hard to open.

    Made It to The Big Leagues

    Not a biggie. Use a hole drill and cement it in with MarineTex.

    Made It to The Big Leagues

    They always put the pick-up in a screwy place. Used to have a similar problem until I replaced the pick-up (a brass mushroom) with a clam shell pick-up thru-hull facing forward. That forced water through the pump as I ran...

    Made It to The Big Leagues

    When I'm live baiting, I drop til I hit bottom, then lock the reel with heavy drag and just ping the weight off the bottom as we drift. The rigs you have are perfect. I make my own and use 80 lb. mono to the hook and three ft. of 20 or 30 lb. that runs down from the tri-swivel to the weight...

    Made It to The Big Leagues

    Do NOT put sardines in your bait tank. As you learned, they die immediately and they shed a lot of scale that clogs shit up. We usually throw them in a five gallon bucket with ice. They make good dead bait. Biggest black seabass I've ever caught was on a dead sardine. Halibut will chow them...

    Roca Consag

    No. Maybe a few, but nothing like Bird Island in that regard. It's a very steep peak jutting out of the water and not very accessible at all.

    Roca Consag

    I've fished it in the past out of San Felipe with mixed results. The hole on the south side is one of the deepest spots in the northern Cortez at over 600 ft. As we were cruising in close, there was a marlin laying and sunning in a very shallow spot between the rocks. Amazed me! Mostly caught...

    Yeah, high pressure dominating right now. I'll never go again on Bike Weekend, either. I don't think it's going to be as big a deal this year. Have not seen or heard a word about it this year.

    No mas Vaquita en el mundo

    I've said it for years and I'll say it again here -- when it comes to any kind of conservation issue, Mexicans are their own worst enemy. The younger generation believes in this issue, but for the most part, the general attitude is I'm getting mine before it's all gone. I've seen it in so many...

    No mas Vaquita en el mundo

    Yeah, we placed order on Friday. As said, was only 10 lbs we could get. Might have even been last season's, but still great skrimps. Saw the NG around in Penasco and Sonoita, but no stops anywhere. Zero wait in Lukeville on Monday.

    No mas Vaquita en el mundo

    For what it's worth, JJ... Jessie had trouble getting us 10 lbs of big blues last weekend. We asked for 50. He said shrimp catch is down over 60% from last year. Couple of things come into play here. Lack of decent shrimp available and that Amlo killed the diesel subsidy for the shrimpers, so...

    Americans say ‘After a 20-year relationship, I’m giving up on Mexico’

    Yup, older article, read it when it first came out. Also agree that as a gringo, you were somewhat immune to the innermost country violence between cartels. But that's changed a bit. Witness the attack at a resort in Cancun this week where 15 armed guys landed on the beach in front of a resort...

    Been years since I've launched out of Cholla with Ric Felder, but was always kind of a cluster to do so. And yes, it is closer to the W/NW spots. Safe Marine is so much easier and reliable, even if a bit further. A calm day. Uh-huh, keep waiting. Used to be able to count on 3 days of blow, then...

    We went north near the 22. We didn't go out yesterday because it was blowing pretty good. Today doesn't look too bad. Always pick the reef that will beat you and the boat up the least!
