Ledges and reefs generally not deeper than 80-120 ft. in Lobos. 51 is generally 265 ft. deep, with a couple seabass holes slightly deeper. Big difference on the decompression factor.

Glad Denny and Painless are out there with Ted slaying some fish! Tell Denny I expect some fresh hamachi kama! Congrats on the black. That's one of the differences fishing Lobos vs. the 51 - the depth. The blacks and groupers still have a lot of life in them when they come up at Lobos because...

Stick around. The prices here in the US will go back up again and Pemex will again look like a bargain!

I agree, Russ. You can get scammed anywhere, but you're more likely to get screwed in Mexico due to title and ejido disputes. Been happening for years and years, although recent reforms have helped with some of this. Not just high-end development or condos - average gringo Joe buys a property...

Poor Ted. Has he not been minding his P&Qs? There goes the Lobos fishing neighborhood!! Hahahaha!

Very good read. In fact, this article should be REQUIRED READING for anyone before they spend one dime buying/investing in real estate in Mexico. Sadly, it's now just another footnote in scam real estate deals gone bad.

The only time I recall seeing it manned in the past few years is on holiday weekends. Does anybody actually live there anymore? The whole ejido on the curve there seems unmanned these days.

I was a maniac of a driver when I was young, that whole indestructible thing of youth be it on a motorcycle or in a fast car. As I've gotten older, I came to realize that the LAST place I wanted to die was in a car wreck. Seat belts? You betcha. Speed limit? Maybe a little over, but not...

I'm guessing big, fat, Guadalupe Island yellowtail, given there is a picture of the Excel included?

Your post reads like a 'Final Destination' movie, but yes-yes-yes on the road. Out of curiosity, was the flipped truck gringo or Mexican? I'll go out on a limb here and say Mexican. Why? Nothing racist at all, but going back and forth to Lobos as I have, it never fails that I'll get passed (I do...

That there is a motley crew! (kidding, and the temp was exactly what on the beach?? BRRRRRR!) BTW - The other thread with this name went bye-bye. First person that derails this one goes bye-bye with it.

I see somebody immediately went for the cheek meat! Dave had his cook do up a black seabass head for us last trip. Picking that meat off the cheeks was fantastic yummy. Now I know why the locals all fight over who gets the head!

I might take ya up on that, Bill. When it's warmer. Just pitch a tent and live outta the back of my truck for a couple days... old Baja Beach Camping style! :puff:

Interesting app! Problem with basically ALL of the data maps for the northern Sea of Cortez area is that it was based on a survey done in 1957 or so and never updated. Do you know how accurate the resolution is on that app? I know my Garmin can put me within like a 10 ft. range when I zoom in...

Hard to beat the Garmin76. Their color unit has price dropped to under $200. Plus, you can upload and download waypoints and tracks to your computer (Bluecharts program).

Funny... the cartels don't require drug tests and they carry better weapons. :puff:

That was just the Cessnas dropping the mota. :puff:

Ooopsie! Darned cheap-ass bilge pumps strike again! :puff:

I've never launched at La Pinta (my boat is too big and it's too easy to get stuck in the sand), but have seen others launch there. Like all of Mexico, the beach is public, so I wouldn't worry about the pangas, unless you are blocking or restricting their access in some way. In town, you have a...

Sorry to hear this.
