    Thank you sir! Yea those Lizard fish are aggressive to say the least. They were hitting a 16oz diamond jig almost the size of their body so yea. I had never caught one before but I got on Mexfish.com and identified it pretty easily within a few guesses based on names. Love that website for newbs...

    The next day, Sunday morning we arrived at the marina by 8am. Although it seemed there was no wind and the wind report was accurate the launcher at Safe Marina suggested that we shouldn't launch today because the sea was still disturbed from the previous day. The suggestion kind of took me back...

    BUMP! Trip Report February 14th, 2022. We left Phoenix at about 430am Saturday morning with smooth sailing all the way to the border. Got the red light inspection which was courteous and professional and made our way through Sonoyta doing 20mph. Apparently nobody wakes up in Sonoyta until...

    JJ"s Cantina to Change Owners, Remodel in January

    I suspect parking will be where the pangas stage their trailers during the day outside of the police station at the entry to CB and then the bar will have one or two shuttles (golf carts or the like) shuttling customers back and forth.

    Jerry! You can't kill a Honda! I remember the scare I had on that thing. Does it still have that issue that if you turn it off in gear it won't start again?! I can't remember what I did that day when I was like 3 miles from the house BELOW tide line fishing side saddle when it wouldn't start...

    Thanks haha It's unfair really. Being cripple gives me an unfair advantage. I haven't been to the gym since Covid started which is sad now thinking about it. But when your upper body is compensating for your lower body everyday activity is the gym. Plus, I never stop moving. Everyday it's...

    I'll look into that next time when we go again. I briefly explored the other alternate route via LV/Mesquite Nevada through St George... Google said it was only a little bit further but I wasn't sure about elevation gain past Vegas. I know from Phx to Kingman you climb to 4,000ft if I remember...

    JJ, thanks for the write up. Why is the Super Grouper mark right near the Widow Maker?????? I thought the good fishing was the West side for trolling and a deep drop on the South as you mentioned??????? I have the WM marked in Navionics so no F#cking with that and dying. Shawno has given me some...

    I'd have to look but I don't believe so. These pumps are your standard bilge pump and many people run 6v to these pumps instead of 12v to lower the duty so it doesn't flow as much water. They draw less than 2ah... doubt there is any heat created with this pump. If my intervals end up being to...

    Well... forum gets a little quiet this time of year but for pros like us the fun never stops no matter what time of the year it is so I figured I'd give a little update on the CORTEZ DINGHY. I added a few things to make the boat more user friendly for the captain, me. First, on every one of our...

    I have a similar set up under the hood in the Tacoma. The key with those cheaper air compressors is to look at the CFM rather than the PSI standard. Viar is the best but they're like $250. I'm cheap so I sift through the China ones and find the best air flow for the price I want to pay. I think...

    We went to Sand Hollow in June and I can attest to that sand being the softest, finest sand I've ever seen. It's unreal. I can see why after watching that channel for a couple of years how so many people get stuck. BUT a lot of those people have absolutely no forethought and drive like KIAs and...

    Here's an idea of how deep the sand is out where JJ and Jerry are talking. Notice the first 10 seconds that I start moving the truck it looks like I'm just crawling along????????????????? I'm giving her the beans and the crawling and sliding sideways at second 9 in the video is the truck...
