    sharks

    They've always been there, don't fool yourself. We hooked into a great white years ago fishing from a panga at Bird Island. Not as big as the one in Puertocitos video, but still pretty respectable size.

    Jellyfish warnings

    Indeed. I jump in when it's dead hot out there, but only after finding crystal clear blue water. There's some red string-like jelly crap we always seem to get on out lines out at the 51. You're fighting a fish and not paying attention and it goes through your rod eyes and wraps on the reel and...

    El Homeport(the fish rots from the head)Penasco Digital report

    Daniel Butterfield is happy today rolling around in a tub of Brylcreem naked with all his IPX investor money. Big names lend credibility to his bullshit.

    El Homeport(the fish rots from the head)Penasco Digital report

    And... the links above explain exactly why this project will never happen. 50 million pesos sucked into some politco's personal pocket.

    Buying a House in Las san jorge beach

    As above have said, bad news, don't do it. Ownership there is very clouded by ejido issues. I looked at it many years ago. There's a reason you see little to no development there.

    Introducing....

    There was a legend marlin fisherman in Cabo named Fred Archer. Not sure if he's still with us or not, but this guy designed some spreader bars and other serious billfishing tools that are still sought after today, as they work and are the absolute best. Story has it he bet another captain in...

    Introducing....

    There were guys trying to spear wahoo while I was down in Louisiana. They tie CDs to their wet suits. We hollered at 'em on the radio and asked what they were seeing down there. The answer was "Sharks. BIG sharks!" :shark: I'll do my fishing from INSIDE the boat, thank-you.

    Dan was a character, could be the worst guy you ever wanted to fish with at times, barking orders and such. But, he loved to fish and loved that boat, even though he was prone to seasickness. I was very sorry to learn that he had passed, too. Facebook sucked away many of the regular posters...

    I will add that I had the ride of a lifetime fishing wahoo off a 36' Yellowfin with trip 350 Yammies out of Fourchon, LA this past Feb. That sucker would run nearly 70 in the slop. Unbelievable fast and smooth ride. I'm just a po boy... I'll keep my ProKat at this point. While the lust for a...

    Last I heard, Coyote was getting another boat. But let's face it... he ain't a young man. Had lots of money and could throw it at raping the 51, which he would do often. Same with some other folks that had that big blue hull Century. A beautiful boat, but age caught up with them. Last time I...

    Like your assumption, yes, troll along the edges of the big patches. Often, they will form up on a current break or tide line, which makes it easier. Don't forget, I'm trolling far out there, not close to shore and I'm running two of the lines off 18 ft. outriggers. The grouper may lay up under...

    I know you asked Shawn, but fishing out of Penasco is mostly bottom fishing, out on the deeper reefs. We do get some sailfish and dorado, occasional marlin, now through July. But they are few and far between most years. In other words, you can do a whole lot of trolling, but not a lot of...

    Introducing....

    Cool idea! Reminds me of my brain fart to make a teaser for trolling out of old CDs. I meticulously drilled holes on each side of about six CDs, connect them all together with heavy mono and snap swivels, fixed a small weight to the end to keep them down in the water behind the boat. Took it...

    How accepting and welcoming of you, Jerry! Of course, your myopic view of the world and everything that is corrupt and wrong with Mexico is the only one that matters. I find it odd that the only one talking smack in this thread about anyone's personal beliefs, racism, etc. is you. Everyone...

    New stop signs

    Back many years staying at the Best Western (Playa Inn), we were talking to an older couple visiting from Oregon. Very nice folks. They left, said they were going to La Curva for dinner. A few minutes later, we hear a horrible crash. Ran up the street to see what happened. A drunken local coming...

    Not really, Hill. These folks are here because another forum which I was part of collapsed around us all due to "political correctness". The only reason you see any of them in this thread is because they are fisherman and I wanted to share just how awesome Shawno's pictures are with them. I...

    They are members of this forum just like you, Roberto. But they have their own place to play where they don't offend the sensibilities of all of our "regular" members. They are sportsmen, captains, fishermen, and hunters that don't subscribe to the idea of "political correctness." I personally...

    Really, Roberto? The impact of a few hook and line sport fishers is NOTHING like the devastation of a panga fleet with gill nets. Get a grip, dude. Great pics, Shawn!
