Just talked to friends here in Yuma that headed to Penasco last Friday afternoon. The highway was blocked at El Golfo at the turnoff to Penasco. There was a large group of protesting fishermen and their families blocking all traffic with lawn chairs and other furniture in the road. Police were there doing nothing other than telling people to turn around and go back home. Friends went back had to pay the toll twice then on to Sonoita. Took them thirteen hours to get to PP. Wish there was someway to get info before wasting all of that time and money. A lot of California people ended up with a real shitty weekend as well.

San Luis Río Colorado.- Last night virtually all the people of the Gulf of Santa Clara made a violent demonstration against the inspectors of Conapesca because they were not authorized the "environmental impact manifest", burning four land patrols and three pangas that Used for patrolling in the protected area.
It was from 19:30 hours that the nonconformists began the violent demonstration that came to the homes of the inspectors especially in "Las Cabañitas", where they burned some patrols. Several elements of Police and Municipal Transit, as well as the State Police Investigator of this city and Luis B. Sánchez had to stop before the "T" of the highway to Puerto Peñasco before the threat that the demonstrators were going to burn to them patrols .
Municipal police who were to enter the night shift had to return to their homes as they were not allowed into the village. It was possible to know that the demonstrators were crossing the streets announcing that as soon as dawn were going out in their pangas accompanied by their families to fish.
Al conocerse la noticia compartida por el líder cooperativista Carlos Tirado Pineda, quien se encontraba en la Ciudad de México junto con el representante de los pescadores de San Felipe, Baja California, Sunshine Rodríguez de que se les negó la salida a la curvina en la segunda marea que inicia hoy y que dura tres días, los golfeños iniciaron la rebelión social.
Después de volcar una de las unidades oficiales le prendieron fuego entre gritos en contra de la insensibilidad del Gobierno Federal que desde hace dos años no los ha dejado trabajar. Vía Facebook Carlos Tirado comentó que ante la mala decisión de las autoridades federales la gente se cansó de guardar la calma ante la disyuntiva de tener que buscar el sustento diario. Saldrán a pescar hoy Para aprovechar la presencia de la curvina golfina y la oportunidad de obtener recursos económicos, los pescadores se harán hoy a la mar acompañados de sus familias, como una manera de protegerse contra los inspectores que ayer ante la iracunda multitud tuvieron que refugiarse en las instalaciones de la partida militar de la Secretaría de Marina para evitar ser linchados por la turba.
Tres horas después volvió la calma al poblado sin que se hubieran registrado detenciones debido a los caldeados ánimos, los elementos de Seguridad Pública se mantuvieron a la expectativa en la carretera.

Jerry, I would recommend removing the last part of your post about 26 dying in Iraq, but it took me by surprise.

Maybe they were El Golfo pangueros on a working vacation en de Irak sharing fishing techniques with the Tigris and Euphrates gill net cartel.

Anyway, is there any current source for us to know if krap like this is still in effect? I'm planning on hauling my boat down at the end of the month for the annual Leopard Grouper breeding sex frenzy off of La Cholla. I can deal with road blocks when driving my Ford Raptor by just off-roading it to the RR tracks and bypassing the whole debacle. It's a whole other situation with fifty plus feet of F-350 and a three axle boat trailer.

Hey JJ how far off La Cholla does the Leopard Grouper frenzy happen. I will be there on my boat this Saturday.

Hey Audi...............

The close-in action along La Cholla is at two spots. The first is the reef that runs almost two miles northwest from the lighthouse. What I did was start a zig-zag beginning where you see the rocks at the point then make successive runs farther out marking the reef on your GPS just continue doing this until the last rocks of the reef quit in around fifty feet of water. Along that line that you have marked you will see some really big rocks, some almost twenty feet above the bottom. These are where the Sardineros are slowly circling and will hit on almost anything trolled through them. There are a lot of other fish out there as well to include all three big croakers and Yellow Tail. My method to hunt that area is to make an initial run in close and along the rocks testing different lures. All along there is good fishing but becomes annoying with the endless small Cabrillas and Trigger Fish. You might get two or three small groupers with each pass.

There is another spot, hard to find, that is about two miles out from the southwest end of La Cholla where you can see the dunes piling up against the mountain. It's a solitary rock pile about twenty feet tall. This one's my "El Produsor", a few years ago I got twenty six big Sardineros off of it in about two hours, I quit when I thought about how long it was gonna take to fillet them all.

By far the best spot is the reef that runs south from Isla San Jorge. This one extends south, averaging around thirty feet deep for about one mile. I believe this is one of the spots that the Santo Thomas boys hit for their regular hauls. When we hit this spot we always do a meat run on Sierras and Mexican Barracudas, the big thirty inch plus Sierras are one of my favorite grilling fish.

I'm having my fuel tank drained as I write, last Turkey Day weekend I topped the tanks off with fifty gallons of gas from the local Shell station, hauled the boat to PP and five miles out heading to the La Cholla reef one of my Yammies quit and has never run since. I limped back to port on number two. Upon inspecting the fuel/water filters we found them half full of water.

Shoulda used Pemex!

Hey JJ thanks for the info. I did not have the time to go searching so I went out to the 22 reef and caught Two gulfs and two whites.
