Man o man.... another great week of fishing on board the Tiburon. I hauled the whole clan down to stay in Las Conchas for a week. Monday the wind was stiff in the morning, but we did get out about 10 miles in the afternoon to let the kids catch us up a nice mess of rock bass so we'd have a good...

Anybody else from the forum playing in the Golf scramble at the Mayan on Saturday? Our group tees off around 10am.

It used to be that if you "Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for life..." Nowadays, it's more like: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and he will spend the day on a boat drinking beer"

What else do you really need for a fine day on the water...?

A couple of great video clips for those of us who wonder just where our "citizenship" and our rights begin and end: As I watched these, I thought about the discussion we had in another thread a few months back about the rights of the individual versus the rights of the "citizen"...

Ok, I'm not a big-time shutterbug; but fortunately for me several of the guests I've taken out on the boat through the years have been, so I went back through all my picture folders from past trips and pulled out the prettiest skies we have captured over the past several years... There's not...

My friends Trent, Ed and I took 3 days off work, so that instead of sweating in Phoenix, we could go down and sweat in PP, so we hooked up the boat and headed south on Sunday afternoon. Actually, what we really drove down there for was to eat some tasty blackened Grouper and Fettuccini Alfredo...

This is a perfect example of how fickle the sport of fishing can be on 2 consecutive days. We arrived in RP on Saturday evening; gassed up, launched, ate dinner, and turned in. At 5am Sunday morning, we met Kim (Parrothead Pescador) at the Marina and ran to the end of Whale hill to catch...

Please post the prices and currency exchange rates you've found at the various gas stations around Puerto Penasco recently. My boat is empty, so I'll be pumping almost 150 gallons into it this coming weekend. Even though they are all Pemex owned, I've noticed in the past that different...

My friend Mark's son (Mark Jr.) just graduated high school, and is an avid fisherman, so the prospect of a RP deep sea trip seemed like the perfect graduation gift. Plus, my friend Trent and I have been working hellish hours over the past month (60-80 hour weeks), so a weekend without any work...

Has anyone else ever read this book? Bill Valentine was one of the early members/founders of the Cholla Bay Sportsman's club, and he wrote a weekly column for the Outdoor pages of the Az Republic in the 60's and 70's. The book is a collection of Valentine's stories and newspaper articles from...

This is kinda short notice, but I've decided to ignore bouyweather and I'm going by the rising barometer and my "man on the street" reports from my local RP weatherman (aka Seadweller) I've got room for one more person to fish Saturday with myself, and Bill and Edna. We are meeting at Safe...

Last weekend was my first trip out to the famous 51 mile reef with Scott and Doug, and even thought we caught tons of fish drifting, the drift was pretty fast (nearly 2mph), so when I got home I started gathering up the rebar and chain to weld up a "Rocky Point Claw" style anchor for my boat...

Have any of you guys filled up on the water at the fuel dock over by the sunset cruise boats? I'm wondering how much more they charge?

Not only for his cool new boat, but also for the fact that Doug's world record submission was officially awarded by the IGFA, and he now holds the All-tackle world record for Barred Pargo: http://www.igfa.org/Records/Fish-Records.aspx?LC=ATR&Fish=Snapper, greenbar I got to see the...

Here's a small dose of charitable philanthropy for my Rocky Point fishing brethren... Blow, Blow, Blow your boat- harshly across the Sea... Merrily, merrily, merrily, seasick- sure to be. Conditions suitable for most marine activities Caution. Small craft advisory Hazardous...

Saturday the 2nd marked my 3rd (yes, THIRD) visit to the little retaining cell at the Sonoyta crossing station... But, I'm getting ahead of myself- all of this happened literally 10 minutes after we had managed to sweet talk our way out of a bogus radar ticket in Sonoyta (the cop said I was...

Well, some good times, and some not so good. Grabbed my friends, hooked up the boat and motored south last Wednesday. The drive was uneventful until the border, where those stupid over-kill speedbumps from hell snapped the U-bolts on one of the trailer's leaf springs. We rounded the corner in...
