Old55 that is not good to hear. Chicano aka Adolfo is such a great guy. He will be in all of our thoughts amigo.

Old55 yes they did convert it. We stayed there a few days and the air was clear. It beat the heck out of Lobos.

Thank you all kindly for the advice. I have been mostly a wade and cast fisherman down there. The rip between the island and the mainland was my biggest concern. I have seen videos of people catching off of Libertad. We might have to go to San Carlos. As much as I like a good old dump of a town...

Any advice on kayaking further south? My buddy wants to try yellowtail this winter out of Kino Bay. I am a bit leery of the tides. We have peddle drive riot mako 12 kayaks. It is a very stable platform, but still? Stewart? Any other boaters that have been out down there? Would we be nuts to...

My first trip to Santo Tomas was in the Beast with him. He gave up and bought a Chevy pickup that year.

My dad had an International Harvester Travelall. It was like an Excursion but bigger. You couldn't go over 5 mph in first gear, but you could creep up a very steep incline. It had a bad habit of eating U joints. I had to carry a spare and learn how to replace it. My dad made me take my driving...

Along the lines of the last post by Tmecke, my bucket trip is a Cortez Circle. Starting as close to the Colorado River delta and working south to Mazatlan. Ferry to Los Cabos and work my way back north as much along the Gulf of California as possible given the roads and lack thereof. I would mix...

I can't make it, but would love a report!

Gracias Old55!

OK amigo, thanks for the tip. I still need a go to mariscos place in Caborca someday.

Old55 I am not seeing The Compa Junior in Caborca. Did I misunderstand where you were talking about?

I have not been shot yet, either in Sonora or Arizona.

I seem to be having issues posting my photos (first size, then server error). This link is from my Facebook...

I hit Santo Tomas on Sunday just in the wake of Jungle Jim and crew. We caught so many fish just North and just South of ST the first three days we never made it further than Playa Paloma until the last day. Punta Jaguey is a stinky shit show to be sure. Sad to see so much carnage on the beach...

12 lbs. Totally stock with normal size radial tires. I just crawled up the dune the first time about 5 mph to see what would happen. It never slipped or slowed, just walked on up. I wouldn't bounce it through the desert, but it is as good on the sand as anything I have driven. As for the desert...

That other story was way before Rosa. When Rosa hit all my buddies got stuck in Playa Encanto but one. He and I made it to Santo Tomas. We always split the food up with each guy taking a meal to make for everyone. He brought eggs and chorizo. I brought Sinaloa style chicken. We both had some...

There are some spots just inside the dunes near Santo Tomas that go super slick after a good soaking. We were coming in north of the light house through the desert for a while. It is not a good idea right after a tropical rain storm dumps 5 inches. We hit a pond and the wheels just started...

At least it won't be too dry. I have never been hit by a tropical system in June...yet. As for Fall, that is a loooong story with quicksand and wildflowers galore.

Glad to hear the corvina are hitting. I am coming to sweat and fish June 27th.

If it was one of my buds he didn't tell me about it. Maybe it is one of the guys I know from my past, but not one of my regulars. I wish we had a house there. Stuck renting until I win the Powerball.
