Big ol' stingrays! I've hooked into some monster stingrays fishing all along the beach south of Marua all the way to La Pinta. It's a struggle to catch them even with a 12 foot surf rod, heavy reel and 30 lb. test line. But hey, since he didn't catch it, we'll never know! The one that got...

Yep, there's a variety of them. And they don't stay alive in the bait tank no matter how hard you try. Doesn't matter much because all the fish seem to like them fresh dead as much as they do alive. During the winter, we'll get into schools of "horse sardines" while we're making bait. These...

Ha! If that were only true, Kenny. Ask Ric how many fish he lost to sea lions this past Sunday. I watched a very interesting program on orcas a few months ago. This might sound odd, but it's absolutely true. What orcas eat is determined by birth. Some pods attack and eat other mammals - sea...

We had a very rare treat Saturday while we were out fishing. We came across a small family pod of killer whales! There was a large male, a female and a small calf. The male was impressively large. His dorsal fin stood a solid 6-7 ft. out of the water. We were able to slowly cruise up very close...

The channel seems to be completely dead. Seriously. And, if nobody is listening to it, calling on it won't do any good.

Yeah Don... just call me the Rocky Point Coast Guard! Boat fire rescue last year, towing somebody back to Cholla this year. It's a karma thing. I'd sure want somebody to help me in a similar situation. That's why this is an important discussion - to save our own butts.

You're a dirty, dirty man, Ernesto... :rofl: 69 would work, though. 67 is a designated commercial channel. 09, 68, 69, 71, and 72 are all recreational choices.

Any particular reason for not liking 68, Ric? Just curious. San Carlos uses that channel and it seems to work well there. They also have a repeater on 68. Granted, that's hundred of miles from us. Like I said, I'm just trying to get us all synched on a channel for hailing and general chatter...

I've never seen one in Rocky Point. Doesn't mean they aren't there, but I haven't caught one or seen anybody else catch one. As you said, lots of sand sharks and last week, lots of juvenile black-tip reef sharks, but I've never seen a leopard shark. Kind of wish they were around - they're fun...

Hi Folks, Looks like we need to find a new channel to settle on. For years, channel 26 was always the standard radio channel used in Penasco. Channel 26 had a repeater that increased its range. I believe the repeater was run by the Cholla Bay Sportsman Club. For whatever reason, channel 26 is...

He forgot a "y" in Rocky Point. http://www.panchovillarockypoint.com/ :fish:

Wrestlin' those grouper, there's no sure outcomes. Last trip, we went 0 for 5 on big grouper hook-ups. Oh, the fish were there, and they were pounding our live bonefish almost immediately on the drop, but getting them into the boat? Ha! A whole 'nother story. Seeing them break a 250 lb. PowerPro...

La Playa Inn (formerly Best Western). Been staying there since it was a single row of suite style rooms. Then, they built more and made it a big courtyard with a pool. Has become my home away from home.

Huh?

Audi bought some bait from a panga last weekend. Sierra and roosterfish. I was surprised to see one, but yes, I'm finally convinced that they are in Rocky Point, just little ones, though.

My Living Will Last night, my kids and I were sitting in the living room and I said to them, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug." They got up, unplugged the computer, and threw out my vodka...

So... I had some problems with the steering on my boat. I took it into the shop to see what was wrong. The mechanic comes over to me and says "It looks like you've blown a seal." And I replied "Hey buddy, how about we leave my personal life out of this and you just fix the damned boat!"...

Put the idiot parents in a high-altitude balloon, launch them, and be done with it forever.

Stop by and see me... I've got a Buoyweather sub.

You'll notice I've added several new smilies to the master list. Here are four of them. Have fun! :bunny::rofl::puff: :coldone:
