Awesome site Ted!
I see you are in Gold Canyon. I used to live out there from 99 to 2002.
I should be contacting you soon to possibly set up a trip!

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 close reefs for us!! HAHAHAHA!!! ;-)
Seriously - if you can break away in the next month or so - before it gets hot - why don't we take my boat and do a trip down to Lobos and check out some of that fine fishing? I've got the range to do it. We can overnight there. I've got a few marks in that area I've been dying to try. Stop and try some marks in Desomboque as well.
Stuart -
with you and Ric fishing together, I'll be waiting to read the reports from this trip - looks like a great area.
mmmn - grouper.... :)

With Ric and Stu sharing the same boat, well, nothing stands a chance out there.
Got me going
Just by looking at the pictures got me going, I will be making a trip down there to see you, looks like the fishing there is what Rocky point was 40 years ago, cant wait to fish that area:-D

Thanks guys for the nice comments. When ever you get to Lobos look me up for some of the local info.
I am going to Lobos on Monday and then hoping to pull our other boat up to Rocky Pt. I have a 2004 -225 HP Yamaha four stroke-great motor but I cannot fix it- been down for a year-maybe rust in the injectors. Can anyone recommend a good mechanic in RP who knows this engine?

It has been tough not getting on the water on a regular basis the last several months but if Terri and I keep putting in the hours this year, we should be able to take fridays off on a regular basis and then I will be able to get a lot more fishing in. It also is not so bad working with the wife all day. As you can imagine.....there are some perks to being alone in an office with my wife while the 6 year old is at school.:grin::pinkie::o.
I was hoping to sneak a trip in last weekend but the weather made that impossible and now it looks like this weekend is out as well. I may head down to put new line on some reels and do a little surf casting. I did catch a dozen pompano in an hour several weeks ago fishing from the rocks throwing spoons and the corvina should be around soon as well.
I would be game tor an overnight trip on your boat to lobos this year although it looks like we could fish a couple days with Ted and stay at his place for just a little more money than it would cost in gas to make the 160-180 mile round trip in a boat from Rocky Point.

Great site and pictures Ted, and as soon as I saw it I emailed Jerry and said "I'm in".We've been talking about going down there for some time to do some fishing, but now it's time for some action, not just talk. It would be no problem from your place Jerry, especially with the new road. How far from the Y is it? As soon as Matt's back from Australia, lets put it together. Yes Don, you too.:thumbsup:

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 have to listen to me fart and snore all night long!!!
I kind of wanted to explore the waters heading down there and back. We've both got marks down that way and I've never gone too much further south than the island. A fishing pleasure cruise, with no real agenda, just a destination. Sure, we could drive it, but why not do it by boat? At cruise, it's a three hour tour. Maybe we anchor up and stay in Ted's deluxe accomodations on the beach, or at least schmooze with him and any fisher-types that happen to be down there.
Kind of the same reason I plan on doing a trip over to Puerto Refugio one of these days - at the north end of La Guardia. About 120 miles from Penasco. Exactly in the middle of nowhere. Stop and fish the Golden Reef on the way over and back. Maybe troll around the island a bit. It's all about the adventure! :thumbsup:

Hey Stuart and Ric

How is the road situation going down there. I know the main road to Caborca is ok but what about from there. Is it marked well, pavement or dirt and if dirt do I need a 4 wheel? How rough is it for pulling. Is it still no services, water etc? What about land for sale?

Bill-
I had a super long day at work-just got showered and fed. Going to Lobos in the morning have not packed anything yet. There is a lot to know about getting to Lobos from RP. I will put up a post with the details tomorrow or the next day with a fishing report from Lobos.

Lobos fishing report 3-10-10
One of those days-A guy did some grading at the house -ripped out the water line to the house, buried it and did not mention it when he collected his money. Three hours to repair, launch the boat - one of the batteries is dead - two hours later we get the crossed wires back together and head out to the first reef at 1:00 pm. Two break offs on jigs in 200 feet of water -then Keith starts chumming from the rough swell, took him back to firm soil-Kent and I go back out for some grouper bait -hook a nice halibut-no luck on the grouper reef-yellowtail start breaking in front of us one cast one fish -decide that is enough-head in. We fried the halibut for dinner it was fantastic!

About getting to Lobos
By Land- the road to yGriega and Desemboque are narrow but pretty good - the last 25 miles or so is the new highway, turn off at the little painted sign "puerto lobos" and one mile of dirt road to town.
Should be no problem trailering a boat.
By Sea-it is a great trip to Lobos by boat from RP (have done it three times).
Here are the things you must know if you are coming by boat! You will have to anchor if staying over night. There is a whole bunch to learn about where and how to anchor. I have had several close calls.
Arturo operates the boat launcher and does a great job but sometimes you have to wait to get out of the water. (hails on channel 11)
There are a couple of little stores in town that carry most anything one might need for food and supplies. There are some cabins for rent-they are old and have out houses for toilets. Lobos has no electricity, no running water, no restaurants, no hotels.
Recently I am discouraged by what I am seeing here. There have been a lot of transient workers here for the new highway, the poverty stricken locals believe the new highway will bring prosperity and thus are fencing off every bit of land they can-even way out into the estuary, the amount of trash, junk and shacks everywhere is much worse. I don't know where it is headed.
However the fishing is great!
