    Are all the beaches, uh, rocky?

    It's called "Rocky Point" for a reason? Seriously, not all the beaches are like that. The beaches south of town, from Las Conchas to San Jorge, are primarily sand for a long way out. Part of it depends on the tide. If you swim near high tide, you're less likely to encounter reefs and rocks...

    Rancher killed near Douglas in Eastern Arizona

    It's a shame that a man who strongly believed in helping others had his life taken. While I agree everyone has the right to defend themselves, their family, their homes and property by deadly force if necessary, my biggest fear is that this incident will cause an "open season" on illegal...

    Need help getting Sierra Pinta y Bahia San Jorge Railroad pics from Rocky Point!

    Thanks, Roberto! Do you have rough GPS coordinates for the area? I'd like to explore this a bit more; take some pictures. Granted, I may be turned back by the military, but I'm just a dumb gringo with a camera in that event. I was looking closely at Google maps. Is the old mine in the peak I...

    That one on Craigs list looks pretty darn sweet - definitely ready to go and set up to fish! But... the price tag. Probably worth it, but like you, I've already got a boat. Mama would have a fit if another one just sort of showed up at the house!

    He had been. Said it was overheating last time he had it out in January. Robert - she's all yours if you want it! And, you may very well be right about the small block Chevys. I suppose as long as they are dialed in and propped right. Just a lot of folks I've talked to in the past complained...

    Need help getting Sierra Pinta y Bahia San Jorge Railroad pics from Rocky Point!

    I know so little of this - was it a gold mine?

    We could use some help again...

    My truck is usually 1/2 empty when I come down. I'd be glad to throw whatever I can in the back. Just not certain when I'll be back down, but probably within the next couple of weeks.

    Bucktail kastmasters?

    You probably won't catch anything dangerous on a Kastmaster. I only relate about actually catching sting rays because of my method of fishing. I would fish with bait (small pieces of squid) until I caught a corvina, then switch to Kastmasters or other lures. Why? It can get pretty boring cast...

    Motorcycles at the border

    No head of the line privileges, sorry. But, unless it's a holiday or other big event weekend, the lines generally aren't very long. No overheating worries. No more than sitting in traffic in Phoenix. Also, I've found the best time to cross is the first thing in the morning (if coming back...

    Bucktail kastmasters?

    Corvina are at La Pinta year round. I used to think they were only there in cooler weather, but I've caught them there nearly every month of the year, including the dead summer heat of July and August. Unfortunately, the sting rays are there year round, too. They are thicker in the warm...

    Bucktail kastmasters?

    You'd need snake boots. Forget waders, they'll puncture right through them. They do make a set of stingray guards. You can see them here: http://www.accurategeneralstore.com/ One good jab from a stingray and you'll think that $56 or so is the best money you ever spent! Normally, if you just...

    Bucktail kastmasters?

    I've had pompano hit the Kastmasters. Actually, I usually end up snagging them, at least, the smaller ones. They strike, but are often too small to take the hook. Still, they manage to hook themselves somewhere other than the mouth on many occasions. Same goes for needlefish. Seems like every...

    I've seen "Rock and Reel" out at the 51 on several occasions. I always thought it was an older Whaler, but never paid close attention to the boat itself. Didn't realize it was an Airslot. I need another boat like I need a hole in the head, but given both the value and potential of the Airslot...

    Bucktail kastmasters?

    Yeppers. I always fish the chrome ones with the white bucktails. Very worth it. Also note - get the saltwater ones with the single hook, not the treble hook. Or, swap the hook out yourself. The Kastmasters always flip up the right way on the retrieve so that the single hook points up. Makes it...

    24' Airslot

    I've been talking with him online - 3K will take the boat. He got laid off and the toys have to go. He had it up for 4K and it didn't sell; just got relisted. I assume you looked at all the pictures and read the description on Ebay? The boat is physically located about 20 miles from my brother's...

    Well, while Shawn and Ric have been busy catching all the nice fish, I've been stuck at home with severe fishing withdrawal pains that have obviously led to dementia - I was considering buying another boat. Not a new boat, but this boat. This would make a perfect Rocky Point fishing boat. The...

    Spring Break Turnout???

    I want a Hobie! Do they make them with twin 350 Yamaha four-stroke outboards?

    Easter weekend

    Of course. 10,000 Mexicans will converge on the beach. If you've never been in Mexico for Semana Santa, then you're in for a big surprise. Consider it "Mexican Spring Break."
