I called Al Gore. He said "No." :puff: If it has to do with anything -- it's that they've been cracking on the illegal longlines further south. Less longlines, more billlfish and dorado making it through the gauntlet and heading north, where's there's usually endless bait schools for them to...

Time to set up the outriggers and go trolling! I plan on doing just that in July. Marlin are there; nobody fishes for them. I've caught sailfish and have seen marlin jumping when fishing out of Penasco, but have yet to catch and release a marlin there. Have also come across marlin laying on the...

Come see the rare and endangered vaquitas jump through flaming hoops of fire!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!

Guess that answers my question in the Cruise ship thread about whether the hole had filled back in with sand yet...

It does deepen up at the northern end of Sandy Beach, yes. I used to troll Rapalas from there around the point over to Cholla and back, but that area is also pretty rocky with some large boulders and rock outcroppings strategically placed here and there. Maybe that's what they were surveying...

La Pinta has a nice channel in it; that's why. San Jorge is your basic sand flats. Hey, maybe they'll just dredge a channel into La Pinta. Who cares about a few enviro whack jobs screaming that it's an estuary... money solves all problems!!! :puff:

A typical Carnival type cruise ship drafts 8 meters (about 26 ft). I'm sure the smaller cruise ships are less, but that's about average for most cruise ships. Even at high tide, the harbor in Penasco (or the channel into it) is nowhere near that deep. Maybe 19 ft. in a couple places from what...

Miles and miles and miles, Jerry. You can practically walk from La Pinta all the way to San Jorge island at low tide. It's no more than a foot or so deep on sand flats that rise and fall nearly the whole way out there. Years ago, I took a panga out of San Jorge beach. What a nightmare --- they...

Back to Banned Camp for Happy! Don't even bother emailing me about it. You simply refuse to play well with others regardless of how many chances you're given.

Indeed, indeed. And unless they build some docks, or dredge the current harbor (so, is this where they finally kick the shrimp boats out for good?), those ships will only be able to enter and leave port at high tide. I'd guess some of them would bottom out and sit on the harbor bottom at low...

Dennis was telling me about your misadventures! Ya fish'n nutz!!! Glad all turned out okay.

There goes the neighborhhood... sux.

Typical man... wait until the last minute... DAMN, today's our anniversary!!! BWHAHAHAHAHA!!!! :puff: At least he didn't forget... the cardinal sin of relationships! Wife#1 used to catch me on that kind of weird stuff all the time. Oh, I could always remember our wedding anniversary (I had it...

I don't know for certain that you can get one at Lukeville, although I have gotten vehicle permits (for outside the free zone) there in past years. I got mine at the 21km stop just south of Nogales on a trip to San Carlos. Bigger station and well organized as far as getting all the paperwork...

I never knew it to be closed, just a report from a friend of a friend thing. And, I never tracked down the gringo that "lost" his boat, either. I write it off to lost in translation somewhere.

You can bring back 55 pounds of fish/seafood per vehicle according to official Customs regs. Although, I've never had them break out a scale, empty my cooler, and start weighing my fillets. Bring home a couple of big grouper, buy 10 lbs. of shrimp, another 10 lbs. of clams and it's easy to go...

Bummer! Cool beans! I'm stoked! That's awesome! Like, wow! Extreme, man! That's rad! Hey, nothing wrong with groovy oldies but goodies like us!! Have you noticed that new catchphrase these days seems to be the word "Really?" added to everybody's statements? I'm hearing it all the time. I'm a...

It's been like that for boats (beyond the Free Zone) for some time now. 10 year permit, about $60 for boat and trailer. Basically, a passport for the boat. A big part of it is the Customs/Aduana thing. On the application form, you list all the major contents of the boat -- fridge, stove, radios...

Groovy, man... like far out! <staring at the disco ball for too long gives me acid flashbacks> Welcome, lunarz -- have a "groovy" time here on our forum, too. From one old enough to have actually used the word and wear nehru shirts with Peter Max jeans!!! :puff:

If you haven't seen this (I posted it on my Facebook page when it came out last week), be prepared to laugh your ass off! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-sb8e3P4LM&feature=player_embedded
