    My New Boat

    Wind is pushing you along (or wave action). Water is moving slower than either waves or wind. Kayak wants to be pushed along by wind and waves. Drift sock slows you down to the movement speed of the water.

    My New Boat

    I hear you. The anchor trolley makes sense when you put it that way. I have one myself (and 3 rod holders, fish finder, hatch, crate with more rod holders, special seat, extra paddle, stern light). I have a gear problem. The drift sock is to slow your drift and for when the water is too deep...

    My New Boat

    Sweet. Not sure you need that much equipment for RP, but it's fun to have. The only equipment I ever really use at RP is the rod holders. It's nice to have a large-ish soft-side cooler to keep your catch. On the ocean you don't really want an anchor trolley, because you always want the anchor at...

    shore slam

    I've caught all but the Bonefish, though not all from shore - corvina, flounder, trigger and rock bass only from kayak. But you could catch any of those from shore. http://www.mexfish.com/fish/pacpomp/pacpomp.htm You might add Pompano - or whatever that aerodynamic fish that looks like a...

    whats the top shore bait

    I've caught a flounder on a crankbait. I'd think that bucktail jig would be a winner for flounder, maybe tipped with squid

    Travel Advisory for United States

    I think you meant 'unwinnable'. If so, I agree completely. Why should Mexico fight the States' drug war?

    Oh Yeah? Well You're A . . .

    Wow! Amazing singing. It's sad how many kids go through hell without any one either noticing or no one taking the trouble to back them up.

    Cruise on the Wild Side

    Dragging this back to topic, did any one say how much the Pirate Cruise is, roughly?

    whats catching off the beach now (kayak)

    I like medium depth crankbaits from the yak for all the above-mentioned species. Rapala saltwater, Rebel fast-trac, etc. About 4" or 5" long. Blue/silver or black/silver or orange/silver. I don't think color matters most of the time. Run at depths 5-10 feet keeps them in the strike zone most...

    Got the Secondary Inspection Yesterday

    I'm convinced SUV + brownish skin == secondary inspection. Our friends get pulled over every time - although never for the complete disassembly. They have an older Chevy suburban. They have some asian or mexican genes and he has long hair. It doesn't seem to matter that they have their young...

    La Pinta - Shore Fishing 7-4-2011

    Great post, thanks! Looks like I'm going to have to make a trip out to La Pinta next time I'm down. Is the hand-written "keep-out" sign still at the turnoff? I let that dissuade me last time and I went on down to San Jorge instead which is far away from the reef. I won't make that mistake again.

    Shark almost as big as my Jeep

    Still, looks like a nice one. Those things put up a good fight.

    shore fishing was a blast!

    Cool. All I ever seem to catch on bait there are guitar fish and puffers. Must be doing it wrong.

    Kayak fishing 5/23-5/26/11

    4-1/2" Rapala Countdown, not jointed. Saltwater version. Blue on top, white on bottom. I did best on 5" Rebel Fast-Tracs. These are jointed. Blue/silver, black/silver and orange all worked. I think any minnow crankbait would've worked. The main thing was the running depth - if it runs too deep...

    Nice corvina, what'd you catch the corvina on?
