They make machaca out of skipjack, too, but that don't mean I'm eating it! :wink:

What Wahoo said - catch/release. They are a challenge to catch and put up an unbelievable fight. Not to mention, they are a stunningly beautiful fish. Sort of the same reason guys fish for tarpon. Nobody eats a tarpon; they catch them, take a picture, and gently release them. True sportfishing.

Not trying to be a smart ass, Jay... but, youse pays your money and youse takes your chances at this time of the year! :puff: Really hard to know how much rain might fall this weekend, but as you know, storms are predicted for Saturday. Sonoita has been getting drenched this year and with the...

Kenny... they are there and it is possible to do, but easier from the boat. Here's why. From what I've seen, the roosters like to sit in the middle of bait schools that are already in very shallow water, just a foot or so deep (the beach heading north by Ted's house). When you cast to them from...

They're still on CJ's camera. Or somewhere on Facebook or in my email I haven't checked in a week. I'll post a couple when I stumble across them. I didn't play photographer this trip. I know... pics or it didn't happen. But it DID!!! :puff:

It may well be the same river. I was talking about the peligrosa curve at Pincante. I didn't realize they were one and the same rivers because of the distance. Figured it was run-off from Pincante. The more you know... :idea:

Shawno, you may be correct. The two I caught were more gray/bluish than shiny silver, but they had no stripes. The unique thing I keyed in on was the black dot at the back of the gill plate and the shape of the fish. Both seem to have that. The shape of the head on the Jack Crevalle was the...

Pacific Jack Crevalle By the way... this is the other fish we caught while making bait - Pacific Jack Crevalle or a "toro." Thought I had something pretty big on, it was pulling like the dickens on my sabiki rod. Turns out I caught two at the same time. About 16-18" and looked like they'd make...

Gary - Just down the street, same side, nearly caddy-corner to the Pemex across from the turnoff for Las Conchas.

It was running Sunday morning when we headed back up. I was quite surprised, actually. I think it is the first time in all these years I've ever seen it flowing like a real river with water in it. I'm assuming it runs out to sea (somewhere?). Anybody know where? It was some dirty, muddy water!

Good luck! Two million Euros probably isn't even enough to build a huge water slide that people could crack their skulls open on. But, yes... think about it.... think about it.... here it comes.... a waterpark in Penasco!

I know. So why not get a huge loan from them and do some good for Penasco? BWWWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

It was awesome (and a bit scary) to watch them build while we were out on the water. Friday, it looked like a BIG one was going to roll into Penasco from the south... but never made it. In Lobos on Sat., same thing - huge thunderheads and we could hear thunder out on the water. But not so much...

So... Willie, buddy.... I have this GREAT business plan to rebuild the water infrastructure in Puerto Penasco, since the water was off-on-missing in action for the better part of 3 days this past week. Can you finance me? In pesos, of course! PS - How many 12 oz. bottles of water does it take...

Use this thread to list any of the businesses you know will be closed during August. I've come down nearly every year in August and it can be pure miserable, hot, humid yuck. Many places simply close and the employees take vacation during that time. La Curva - El Jeffe told me Sat. night that...

Oh, I had been there before several times, always good eats. Just never seemed to make it for the Friday night prime rib because it would be too late when we got into town on Fri. We came down Thurs. this time, so it's all good!

Or... looking like this. This is from the guys we rescued a couple years back. And, you could tell there was a problem because the smoke filled the sky. People onshore 12 miles away saw it.

Excellent! Connie and I enjoyed this on Friday night. Very nice cut, done perfectly, served with salad, a small baked potato, veggies. Four stars on service, price and pure yummy! You can consider that an even bigger compliment from my wife -- she's been in food service for over 20 years and is...

I didn't censure your posts. The site often automatically moderates newbie posts. Your douchebag alter ego is banned and you will be too if you create another one trying to play both sides of the fence to create controversy. THERE's your censure and warning, right there. I'll check the...

We headed out early Friday in pretty stiff breeze, but still fishable. Put some great live bait in the tank - macks, rock bass, two nice size corvina, and two hard-headed jacks or pompano of some sort (still not sure what they were, but looked like candy for grouper)... not one bonefish to be...
