I wonder if there is some substance that could be fed to totoabas so when people eat their desiccated bladder it causes your dick to fall off. I estimate six months to a year and the problem gets resolved!

I pretty much do the same but still skip the fish. I use shrimp, mussels, and clams and add them when there is just enough liquid left to cook them properly. Since paella is fairly labor intensive I make one large enough to have leftovers. That means any fish will get re-heated and overcooked...

RE directions- Yes sorry got your and his name mixed up. We were using three and four ounce Kastmasters. You probably won't need much heavier than that unless for some reason the current is really strong. We were about 3 miles west of Lobos. If you have a depth/fish finder just use it to find...

Check out some fishing info under the "yellow tail in Lobos" post here: http://www.rockypointtalk.com/threads/yellowtail-catch-in-lobos.8769/ Caught lots of YT, skipjacks and bass on metal lures on fast retrieve at 150-200 ft. of depth. The reason Google Maps says is 4.5 hours is that it wants...

So sad to hear that. The one they had at the "Iron Chef" was nothing like that. It was replete with clams, mussels, and shrimp and piping hot. I understand putting on a special effort for attracting customers but serving shoddy food is inexcusable. I usually do not use fish in paella because I...

I ended up going to Puerto Lobos and fishing with Tom. I lucked out and he had someone cancel on him and I filled in the spot for two days. My report is under "Yellow Tail Catch in Lobos" toward the end of the OP. It's true about the bite. We caught a bunch of YTs, 25 or so skipjacks and about...

According to Tom the bigger YTs show up in May. The biggest one I caught was 7 lbs. and, as you say, quite the fighter although the fight was brief. We had some seals hanging out at a distance and for some reason, every time had a fish on the line they made a bee-line for us so I had to not...

I just spent two days with Tom at Puerto Lobos. Definitely for hard-core fishermen (and women). The house is, well, "rustic" with everyone sleeping on cots outside or inside if the weather is cold. I was lucky, he had a cancellation and I filled in the spot for two of the usual four days (more...

Now I wish I had read ALL the comments on here before I went there today (2/17/14). I thought the food was good but not as excellent as some of the first comments I read. We had the "enchiladas Sonorenses" which are really more of a sope type dough, the chicken tacos and the posole. All were...

I have not been to their place but we are planning to sometime in the next week or two. Having said that, I will tell you I was by their booth at the Saturday "Iron Chef" thing at Plaza del Camaron and they had just finished one of the nicest looking paellas I've seen outside of Spain (other...

We went to the CEDO (http://www.cedointercultural.org/) presentation on the area's ecosystem. Fascinating stuff. If you have not checked it out they have a free lecture on Tuesdays. 2 PM in English and 4 PM in Spanish. They also do a tour to El Pinacate reserve and you get to see the volcano...

Hey everyone! My apologies for not updating this earlier. We found a place and we'll e enjoying a few weeks away from the cold!

Thank you Stuart. This makes me feel a lot better. As a newbie boater going south I'd hate for my first experience to be having it confiscated instead of hooking a monster fish that drags me out to sea for three days and then gets eaten by sharks on the way into port. The Sonora Only web site...

Last year I did that and I actually liked fishing for trigger fish! They fight like hell. The first one I caught I was disappointed because it was pulling so hard I expected a big fat fish and when I got it on the boat I thought "that is what I was fighting so hard?" Also, they make terrific...

I am totally confused. I emailed the Banjercito people about the permit issue. They replied that I do need one for the boat, the trailer, and the truck I am using for towing. My wife spent 20 minutes on the phone with the Sonora Only staff and they told her that she needed one for her car if she...
