Ya know, I've seen that boat in pictures on this forum three times now.... but when will we actually see it live at Safe Marina, or idling out of the old port into the swell? :-D

There is a good tortilla stand in Sonoyta about 3 doors down from the big store with all the fountains and stuff - don't remember the name of the store, but it's the large place with the little taco stand out in front (which is also pretty tasty)...\ Anyway, that little place makes great...

+1... the trailer in front of the store has some good tacos. There is also a little tortilla stand three doors to the west of that store that makes AWESOME tortillas- always fresh and warm.

yeah, Triggers and Spotted Sand Bass- they're everywhere. +1 on trigger being tasty- a serious pain to clean, however (I've learned to use a serrated knife to get through the skin)

My Stepfather sold mid-tier luxury yachts like that in Newport Beach throughout the 80's and he used to say that the fuel burn rate will equate to roughly 80-90% of the cruising speed in knots. It's a pretty rough rule of thumb with a high standard deviation, but it's good for guesstimating, so...

Hmmm... do you guys hear anything about gas engine Ford trucks being lifted as well, or is it just the diesels? I'm going down this weekend and I'm seriously debating whether I should leave the F-150 at home and tow the boat down with my wife's Mountaineer instead...

You fish right at the mouth of the estuary, not deeper back in the protected part... There is a big rock outcrop in the mouth of the estuary that gets exposed during really low tides... From the Lac Conchas side you can usually wade out to that outcrop and catch all kinds of fish, just be...

Well, that sure was nice of you guys... :-D

Very Nice fish... Congrats Sandy! I'm planning to be on the water next Sunday. With all the tournament action, I wonder if the 22 mile reef has been completely picked over... maybe I'll be spending the day trolling for surface fish.

Corvina, White SeaBass, Toatoba.... all are members of the croaker or drum family (Sciaenidae). On the Atlantic side- so are Redfish, Grey Drums, and speckled sea trout. Regarding the "best time" to Shore fish- I'm going to say that the best times for catching surface fish (including Corvina)...

So, did anyone go fishing this weekend? We spent Mother's day at home. Might go fishing next week- watching bouyweather like a hawk.

Yes, it can get confusing. Very few people in RP call Leatherjacks Leatherjacks- most call them Pompano, but they are indeed Leatherjacks. They are not closely related to Permit or Gafftopsail Pomano, except for the fact that they are all Jacks. Now, that being said- both Paloma and...

Most likely the castmasters with the blue stripe are emulating tidewater silversides- these are small, bluish baitfish that school in the Billions just offshore this time of year.

Hah, I heard similar feedback from another friend who was down there last weekend, Bill.... He said that the wind was very strong all weekend. I'm looking possibly towing the boat down and staying the 14th to the 18th. I hope the wind cooperates and will let us out on the water.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up...

I fully agree about the practicality (versus the law) about tossing entrails overboard when cleaning at sea. As WoodSpinner mentioned above, what I originally posted is the law as it is written. I've been on numerous Deep Sea trips out of SanDiego where we fished well into Mexican waters, and...

Hey Dan, which fish do you think is a Totuaba? I looked at all the pictures in the BloodyDecks thread again and all of them looked like White Seabass to me- I didn't see any rounded tails or mottled spots on any of those fish.

That's a nice load of WSB... and taken on iron to boot. I've got some new 10 ounce mackeral pattern sling jigs I've been wanting to drop over the gunwale (a larger version of the same jig that I got bit and spooled on just south of the Widow Makers last month) - this time it will be tied to 60...

Bueno. Mooch-Ass Grassy-Ass...
