Stingray, in the hand. Didn't see it because it was buried in the sand. I accidentally brushed my hand over it in shallow water when I was just starting to swim to deeper water. Even had heavy leather gloves on. Also been stung by an agua mal (man o' war) when I swam into a broken off piece of...

Yeah, figure $25 to $30 a night for a slip in Safe Marine on a day-to-day basis. I wouldn't recommend anchoring out much of anywhere unless you're pretty sure what the weather is going to do. If we get a nice high pressure building, as we're supposed to, no problem. I still think back to...

Well, I guess Happy must of thought it was time to be banned again. I deleted one of his posts yesterday (it was inappropriate), but left it at that. Tyler must have picked up where I left off. So be it - 10 days in the hole.

If you can stand the taste of parsley. Have no idea what the other herb is.

Glad you got out and those are some quality fish! I heard it was blowing pretty good on Saturday.

Ask if it's the same Roberto that used to fish on a boat called the "Ya-yo". If it is, book him. He is excellent. Will fish what you want to fish, not just take you out, hook a marlin, then come back in. He put us on a nice school of pargo one trip (dog tooth snapper). We had an absolute blast!

Ric, you're missing the point - it would be an adventure! I mean, gas money be damned. If that were an issue, I'd never fish any further than the 12 mile reef! It's the high seas, matey! Where men are men and the fish are scared! I know, you just don't want to be trapped on a boat with me and...

Well, it's sort of a non-event, since the shrimping season ends April 15th, if I'm not mistaken. At least for the commercials. This was over on the San Carlos board: http://shrimpsuck.blogspot.com/2010/03/u-s-will-embargo-mexican-wild-shrimp_02.html Tuesday, March 2, 2010 U. S. will embargo...

I'm inclined to agree with Happy at this point. Ya know, if you were hosting a big game tournament with millions in pesos as prize money, I could see setting some rules and regs. But you guys are all over the place with this thing. KISS! Otherwise, nobody can keep track of the who, what, when...

I was planning on going, but don't think the weather (wind) is going to cooperate with my plans for fishing. Doug and Scott are still young die-hards and don't mind coming back in soaked to their underwear! Those were some wet, wet people getting off your boat last trip! Costa? 8 kids...

Do you even fish anymore? Huh? Do you?? (I know... the wife's business, etc.) I don't know how you do it without going crazy (the not fishing part; the wife part makes all of us men crazy). But hey, since you're NOT fishing, do us all a favor and keep NOT fishing! That leaves more grouper on the...

100 lb.PowerPro Spectra is like cotton candy to grouper! Unbelievably, I had one snap 250 lb. test Spectra this summer. Snapped the rod in half, too. The top half of the rod is now pinned to the wall in my office with a small tag that says "Fish - 1, Stuart - 0" Anytime we grouper fish, I...

San Felipe Eh, depends on what you want to do. I've been there a couple times. Spent a week there several years ago. The kids were bored to tears. The wife and I also beach camped there for several days, and that wasn't too bad, except for the Mexicans that roll in and set up next to you, only...

Not worth it... A lot of knuckle-draggers posting in that thread, for sure! Not even worth my effort to add a comment. Sadly, this *is* the view of many Americans on travel to Mexico right now.

Be glad it was Mexico. If you get caught watering the desert wildflowers here in AZ (an even more likely scenario now that they've officially closed the few highway rest stops we did have due to budget problems), you can be charged with Indecent Exposure. Being charged with indecent exposure...

Or vaquitas, for that matter. :sunny: Shamu Stadium in Orlando

Cat Food Robert, I use a different trick if bait is finicky or scarce. I usually have a couple cans of catfood on the boat. I open a can and spoon a bit over the side in a few places. Any fishy flavor will do. It's pretty oily stuff and seems to draw the mackerel in close to the boat. Drop...

Bummer, Art. Given the wind and rain we had here in Phoenix, I figured it might be blowing pretty hard down there.

Well, not bad, I suppose. The auction reached $215 before ending. My reserve was higher, so back on the shelf it goes for another 5 years.

Reserve Not Met Yes, still have not hit the reserve. Of course, I'll be happy if it does - but if it doesn't, no biggie. Back into my collection it goes for 5 or 10 more years then try again.
