I met the German when I was 18. His shack still stood for about 10 years thereafter. My dad claims to have seen him in a Nazi uniform. We last saw him in the mid '70's. Thanks for the link to the article on subs in the Cortez Old55.

Yikes Old55! I am planning on heading that way in June with my corvina crew. I may have to rethink the Caborca stay.

Good luck!

Dixie jet is the ultimate corvina lure and they are available again. Kastmasters are great, and they cast like a dream, but the best lure for catching corvina has come back from the dead! I kept one for 15 years with no hooks just in case I found someone to clone it. Now a good Samaritan has...

In 1974 I went out with some panga fishermen near Santo Tomas (the location of the lighthouse at Jaguey before it was built). There were about 50 sharks in the panga from 10 to 40 lbs by my estimate. They were using gill nets and were targeting sharks. Some sand sharks, some hammerheads, and...

I see a hotel listed on Google in Puerto Lobos. Anybody checked it out yet? Is there any restaurants there? I am interested in going south but not in camping.

I am heading to Santo Tomas for the October new moon. I will post some pics if I catch fish. We got some nice ones last June, but not huge numbers.

Hi everyone! I thank all who posted info on this event. As one who just comes 3 or 4 times a year and goes further south most of those trips, this hasn't changed anything for me. I think the media has gone full "Boy who cried wolf" when it comes to Penasco. Most of the past "is it safe" flurries...

Thanks Jerry! That section has never been upgraded and has been going to pot for some time now. I always mind my p's and q's and watch for trucks and buses.

Kenny don't post the fish scarin' outfit one! Anyway I only sit when the fishing is slow.

I can wear the Hawaiian shirt and sing the low harmony Roberto. Stewart it is a good day to get the Cortez aerial dermabrasion treatment.

Hey amigos! Long time no post, but I continue to lurk. I seem to only get down twice a year these days :sad: The usual suspects are mostly busy or otherwise detained this Spring so we are not staying in Santo Tomas. My buddy has rounded up lodging in Encanto and likely a buddy car for at least...

Jerry you are so right about the local fish and produce. This place is a locavore gourmet paradise. MIRAMAR to be more specific on the location: Take the Costera highway south towards El Desemboque and Lobos past the major interchange that also branches to Caborca. About five miles past that...

Your TV report had some serious lag. It was closed at times on Friday and a few times about a week ago, but it was open and easily passable yesterday when I drove home from Santo Tomas. I hear it is even better today. There is water on the roads going into Encanto and the Mayan so might check on...

Ha! I did not see that one. This guy followed a full size pickup (full of kids in the back waving and hooting) through and did not stall by some miracle. The water was splashing up over his hood and way onto the windshield, but not over the roof. It never got more than a few drops on my windows...

I just returned from Santo Tomas, and had no problems crossing Thursday around four pm. The water was running pretty good and there were plenty of bumps and potholes so go slow!. It only took us five minutes to cross. Our friends came Friday at 10 am and found an hour delay and much chaos at the...

PS on the restaurant La Costera is the name. Ask the guards to let them know you are coming or ask around town to find it and leave a note on the door like we did. They are open sporadically. It is on the same street as the Market and about 3 blocks further away from the Costera and towards...

We ate at the new restaurant in Alvaro Obregon (the farming pueblo you drive through on the way to Santo Tomas). I rate that as one of the all time best dining experiences of my life (and I have eaten at 5 star resorts and hotels). The woman cooked in San Francisco until she and family were...

Well I had hoped for crazy hot action like last May but the Corvina did not cooperate this time. We had calm seas and sticky weather throughout our trip. Day one only three hook ups no fish landed. Day two one great half hour put twenty fish in the bucket, then a few every hour put in ten more...

Wow mis2810 that must have been awesome! That is such ah historic and vibrant place in one the america's most interesting cities. To be there on that day, just wow!
