Hi Dom, Welcome to the forum. Don't be scared by the media hype. In my opinion (obviously a bit biased because I go there so often), Rocky Point is still as safe as it's ever been. The drive from the border has only gotten better over the years. The road has been improved, it's well-marked and...

Mitch Miller... wow. Haven't thought of him in years, but remember it well. Along with the Ed Sullivan Show. And Hee-Haw (my Dad's favorite; I always thought it was weird) and Laugh-In. You bet your sweet bippy! Looking back, TV truly was a lot more "wholesome" and family-oriented then...

Rants and Raves was created for whatever you want to Rant and Rave about. That's the purpose Tyler had in mind - Keep the main forums on topic for those regs and guests that want to read, learn, and discuss Rocky Point topics without having it become a political battlefield. I have already...

I think they have conch. Might be frozen; don't recall seeing it fresh. Look closely in the freezers in front of the fresh fish counter. That's where it's likely to be. If not, they may have it canned. If it comes from the sea in any way, shape, or form, Lee-Lee's has it. I'm constantly...

No? This link is from July in California. Nobody got eaten, but several divers were attacked. I think it's time for a new "Jaws" movie named "Beaks." Takes place in California, people are mysteriously disappearing at the beach, and a local fisherman discovers that the mother of all Humboldt...

Not really. The more commonly-used squid in restaurants for calamari are the small California white squid that us fishermen refer to as "candy squid." They are very soft and tender. However, I have eaten the Humboldt squid - tends to be kind of tough and chewy. You can carve some nice steaks...

They are also in Penasco. We've caught them before on the way out to the 51. It was lots of fun! Saw something working on the surface and thought it was baitfish, but as we got closer, we could see tentacles sticking up in the air. We put some treble hook jigs on and could have caught hundreds...

I've fished at night out at the 51. It was a moonless night. You could not tell where the stars in the sky ended and the blinky creatures in the sea began - almost a sense of vertigo. As for the fising? Nada. I think the fish go to sleep at night. Not so much as a nibble from dark until 2:00...

Many thanks, mi amigos! It's looking like this weekend will be a nice one for fishing and mentally, I'm already there! :boat:

Two words - long since forgotten, although I actually have a bumper sticker that might be worth money someday - "Arizona Wranglers." Anybody remember them and the USFL? Probably not...

Agreed. As much as I hate to do it, I'm going to start pruning threads and deleting individual posts of this nature. None of us need to see this ongoing debate/political crap in every thread. Keep it in Rants and Raves where it belongs -- you have a whole forum just for poking each other with...

Wish I could help you there skolapper, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what you're talking about! <scratches his head in wonder>

What's the worst they can do, Wendell? Make you drink it all before you cross the border? <hic!> :wink:

Of course you posted this just before lunch! Sounds great! <tummy grumble>

Lenguado = flounder or halibut Chicken fish = puffer (I'd avoid this, personally) Rabbit fish = whitefish (excellent eating) It's very easy to tell the difference between trigger fish and halibut looking at the fillets. Triggers, because of their shape, nearly always have a...

The same authority Sheriff Joe uses to pull over anybody that looks Mexican???? Just saying. I still wonder the same thing. I suppose they can make up any stupid reason they want - DUI checkpoint, stolen vehicle checkpoint, whatever. I don't know of any authority the Border Patrol has to do...

It's not a problem IF you do not have the cooler in the cab of your truck or the passenger area of your car. In other words, anywhere you cannot reach the beer while driving is fine. Even if it is unopened, I suspect they would still hassle you about it. We have a small Playmate cooler we...

I thought at first that's what they might be doing. Or as the wife suggested, that perhaps there was an Amber Alert with someone running away with kids over the border. However, they never even asked for a registration or looked at the VIN #. The Sheriff's deputy just searched the vehicle and...

I wasn't attempting translation, Inka - "stranger fish" is another name the locals use for extranjero or gold-spotted bass. Just like here in the US, the same fish can have different names locally. It's especially bad with with the word "cabrilla." Show a Mexican a bass-like fish and 9 times out...

Friday night, the US Border Patrol and Pima County Sheriff were stopping vehicles going into Mexico. Roughly a 1/2 hour wait. I think I flustered the young Border Patrol kid. He asked if we were American citizens. I asked him what difference that makes if I'm leaving the country? If I wasn't an...
