    Shore fishing rigs.

    I have some bucktail jigs maybe I'll try. It's just what you show except on a jig head.

    Corvina Hunting This Weekend

    I've fished La Pinta twice, once launching out of the panga area I caught corvina straight out maybe 1/4 mile - both about 18-20 inches. It sounds like the place Stuart is talking about. The other time I launched from San Jorge and never caught anything except the sand bass which are a pain as...

    Thanks for the great video! Maybe I missed it before, but how long is the drive to Puerto Lobos from RP?

    Toughening up your bait.

    Thanks - I'll have to try this some day. How do you put them on the hook? Through the back?

    What happens if your car breaks down?

    Does anyplace sell disposable cell phones? That might be handy for a trip down. Of course the whole point is to get away from those darn things.

    What happens if your car breaks down?

    But do American cell phones work on that road?

    license. what license

    Yeah, you won't need it, but if you want to be strictly legal when fishing from the kayak, you can get one here: http://www.conapescasandiego.org Takes a couple days and costs about $28 for a week license.

    El Nino...Jellyfish...Hurricane Nora 1997...Hurricane Joanne 1972...Claudia 1962

    Interesting. We saw lots of jellyfish when there June 12th-15th. But El Nino is officially gone. Water temps have reverted to neutral conditions. There is some evidence it will flip to La Nina. This is all according the National Weather Service El Nino bulletin.

    fished low tides and did alright

    Good idea, I always figured the ocean would be too deep, but max depth is 25ft. so a bottom anchor is definitely practical.

    fished low tides and did alright

    Nice report, thanks! Where exactly were you fishing? I caught spotted sand bass in the La Pinta estuary a week earlier trolling a deep diving crankbait from kayak. I wished I'd known they got so big or I would've kept fishing for them longer. Heck, if my wife really thinks that "going fishing...

    La Pinta 6/8

    The posts are there, but no gate. The signs appear hand-written but are pretty big and there are two, one for each direction of traffic on the main road. I wonder if they have something in the works to protect the estuary area.

    La Pinta 6/8

    We were in RP 6/7 thru 6/10 and I fished the La Pinta estuary on the kayak on 6/8. I was going to last year's launch point - the panga launch accessed at about km post 32 on the Caborca road. But there are signs saying Prohibidad and something about the Federales. I could see the pangeros were...

    Stops along Highway 8 (las Conchas Notice)FYI)

    Geez, take it easy. Just anticipating based on observations of the Mexican authorities in the past - i.e., the automatic weapon toting federales, and anticipating what reports of those stops might be blown up into by the american media. It seemed like colossal bad timing. Sounds like they did...

    Stops along Highway 8 (las Conchas Notice)FYI)

    Thanks for the heads up, luckily we will not be traveling that week. Does some one in an office in Mexico City really think that a 24-hour checkpoint to stop legitimate traffic is a good way to gather information about people's travel? Imagine the outcry if some one proposed this in the U.S...

    Memorial Day Weekend in Penasco.

    Yeah, it's really unfortunate - this wasn't a person who is scared of his own shadow or is uninformed. But unless you're one of the very few who read a site like this or know some one in RP, your only information is through the media. For the sake of the folks there, I'm glad to hear the...

    I know my chiropractor canceled plans for next weekend so the warning is having an effect.
