Same fish. People pay big money to go to exotic places and stalk them on the flats with flyrods, like it's some kind of God/cult thing. Gimme a sabiki rig and I can have 15 of them in the bait tank just outside the harbor in a matter of minutes. As I've said in the past, "one man's trophy is...

"on live bonefish" Why am I not surprised? Great catches, all!

I have no idea if it's possible. And yes, it was Calle Trece, not the Malecon. I've eaten there for years and never thought twice about it until a local told me this is why he won't eat there. True or not, who knows, but it made sense to me at the time - heavy rains, sewage overflows, it's got...

This a very wise statement. There are reasons *why* this happened and I mentioned them yesterday - retribution and control. To go any deeper than that on a public forum is to put one's self at risk. There are things that the locals know and accept and things are not always what they seem on the...

Thanks, Kenny!! Our reporter on the street!! Thanks for the up-to-date info! On edit: That's okay even if you aren't on the street - love ya anyway (not in THAT kind of way, but you know what I mean!)

As much as I loved them for so many years, yours truly gave up the two-wheelers in the early 90's. Broke my heart. But, my wife made me promise that I would after our son was born. I did, and at times, I've regretted it. It was the right thing to do. I had a lot of good years on Kawi's and...

I was waiting for someone to say this. It's the oldest argument in the world and doesn't mean a darned thing. "Safe" is perception more than reality. That goes for anywhere. Would I feel safe in Chicago, as your link describes? Mostly, I would. But not in the neighborhoods where the...

That's good news then. And indeed, he is in my prayers. I had heard this via phone just a short time ago from someone with family ties, but personally have no way of confirming it. But I'm glad to hear that he is still clinging to life.

I heard from a reliable source that the police chief passed away this morning. Very sad, god bless him and his family.

Barred pargo - sweet catch! And very yummy eating. I kept the dried jaws of the first barred pargo I caught around for years. Toothy critters!!

No problem, sweetcheeks. The only bruja I know or am even interested in is nearly 40 miles offshore. "The Witches Hat". :-D

My prayers are with him and his family at this troubling time. Very sad.

Nice catch! Did he release it? There's a lot of legend and superstition surrounding golden grouper. Most old-timer panga fishermen would release them.

I don't have to tell anyone here how much I love Penasco. These reports disturb me greatly. Inka, you state: "is not directed to americans or tourist in general." Very true. But, as the intensity and frequency of these gun battles and direct attacks on authority figures grow, it doesn't take a...

A real man of the sea would have just gotten a wooden pegleg - Arrrrrrrrrrrr! Hope you're feeling better! The fish are waiting for you! :gofish:

Got it! No wonder people look at me funny when I try to speak Spanish in Mexico!

I never even considered the insurance aspects, but that's a very valid point. A set of name-brand, good quality oversized off-road tires and some big fancy-schmancy rims can cost thousands. Unless your paying extra to insure them, expect the insurance coverage to be for a stock set of factory...

So I need cajones to hold my cojones? Hey, my Spanglish is what it is!

Pete? You looking for some more vacation? This thread (Jerry dug it back up today for other issues) concerns travel in Mexico close to the border. Being that Santa Ana is a short trip down the road from Sonoita, it is indeed relevant to all of us who GO OTHER PLACES IN MEXICO, like Nogales, San...

That's the keyword in that post! Disregard the first sentence! :har:
