April-May is a popular time for Americans to visit Rocky Point. That could make it hard to find a place for a couple of months. You might find it necessary to stay at more than one place. Weather is generally quite comfortable until around mid-July when humidity increases with moisture coming...

First pic is outstanding. Nothing wrong with the others, but the first one is classic stuff.

Rays in February? That's disturbing. I usually figure the shallow water is relatively safe in the colder months. Rays start to get thick as we move into spring and summer. You don't hear much about sting rays around the California beaches. I assume that's because of the cold currents coming...

Scotfish, I have a question for you. How do you keep the trigger fish from biting the tails off your Mack Attack lure on every cast? I see the price on the 9.5 oz lure is $18.29 from Fishlab. Those soft swim baits, including the smaller ones you get in a package of three under $2 apiece from...

I have another perspective. I have a short term rental home in Pinetop where rental business has also dropped off. My measures of tourist volume are different for the two places. In Pinetop I'm measuring rental vacancies; I don't know if tourism there is actually down since the supply of...

Guess I should have read Corndog's first post more carefully. I'd assumed it was the oyster farm at Marua estuary that was being discussed. I never knew there'd been one north of Cholla Bay.

Does this mean the oyster farm is going away, or already has?

Not to change the subject, but was that place you pass shortly after leaving Sonoyta a bull ring at one time? I'd assumed it was for rodeos.

I suspect Ernesto hit the bulls eye. US made weapons have been sold to countries on every continent except Antarctica. Regimes change and so do military needs. If an army, militia or guerilla group wants something they don't have, weapons are as good as cash.

I saw a Fox News story with a video of a lot of shooting in Sonoyta but don't know when it was taken. Unless other sources have something I'm assuming the Fox report is not current.

Rods and reels are no threat to ocean fish populations. Commercial fishermen with nets and baited long lines remove tons of fish daily. I'd rather see an increase in sport fishing by both American and Mexican anglers paying for food, lodging and boat captains to support the families around the...

I had assumed American tourism was at a seasonal low this time of year anyway so doubt it would hurt RP's economy that much. Tourist/vacation towns make hay while the sun shines and plan for slow periods in the calendar. If Lukeville is still closed by early March it should be pretty...

Huh?

Don't have a Twitter (X) account so can't get it. Can you copy in the story?

I don't oppose what Mexican officials are doing right now, I'm just not much impressed by it. Whatever they do will be temporary. I'd like to see them close their own southern border and then along the northern border put in military infrastructure on the Mexican side similar to what we have...

Old 55, only subscribers to the Az Daily Star at $13.99/mo can see this article. That's why I copied a very lengthy article in two consecutive posts on another thread. All I really got from this latest story was that mayors of Caborca, Rocky Point and Sonoyta are meeting together about the...

Time to re-think asylum and immigration in general. The world isn't the same anymore. Offering the prospect of asylum is bringing misery to more people than it helps. I've always hated the concept of the wall, but I'm ready to give in.

Part Two of previous post. I wasn't allowed to exceed 10,000 characters. Surge in Tucson sector The Tucson sector has been the busiest of the nine southern border sectors since July, according to CBP data. In October, agents encountered 55,000 migrants between ports of entry in the Tucson...

Thought I'd post a story from this morning's Arizona Daily Star, a left-leaning newspaper that does not try to stir up anger toward the Biden administration or immigration in general. I copied in the entire story since non-subscribers probably can't use a link. We need to face this situation...
