I come to the forum for news and information about Rocky Point and northwest Sonora. Many people here are knowledgeable on those subjects. But I don't want their social or political "wisdom" any more than I want it from people made famous for their singing, acting or sports ability.

Facebook has Rocky Point groups, not forums. You have to search for rocky point and some groups will come up. Then you have to ask to join each one. I recommend you don't even bother. Facebook blows.

Yes, we could really go places with a Honda 50 or 60 HP on a panga. But we often leave our motor on the boat overnight, and lots of other people would like a 60 HP Honda too. If we want to leave a motor that big and expensive on the boat overnight, one of us will need to sleep on the boat...

Can I ask where you got your Tohatsu? I'm assuming it's new. The hardest part of fishing is the boat motor headaches. I run in a crowd that likes to keep buying used boat motors and suffering the consequences. And everyone tells me that reliable outboard mechanics in Arizona are rare to...

The problem with Facebook is that you see everything. The beauty of a discussion forum is that it segregates subjects so you can ignore what you don't care about, and moderators can toss posts that are out of line or off topic. There are three or four Facebook groups dedicated to Rocky...

There are a couple of hotels there. I talked to a couple of guys who stayed at one of them. $40 a night and they said it was okay. Right now I don't have any contact info. I plan to go down in a couple of weeks and might be able to PM you something when I get back. I don't know what else...

What Arturo is doing in Puerto Lobos is exactly what I had in mind.

I'm getting a whole different picture about this. Seems to me Pena Nieto is trying to do the right thing by protecting the upper gulf from being over fished. Opponents are planting the idea that the reserve was designed to benefit the well-connected at the expense of the poor, and any...

Can someone whose Spanish is better than mine tell me what's going on? The Facebook piece didn't work because it said either the content was removed or I don't have permission to view it.

Why not team up with Mexico Russ? I'm surprised he hasn't already thought of this. And I'll be grateful for your efforts if you manage to get it done.

Sometimes i swear that the more I see, the less I know. A few weeks ago I was in Puerto Lobos with a friend. We were late getting to a panga anchored in six feet of water on an incoming tide and needed to swim to it. We got a lot of little stings, more as we approached the boat. A local told...

How was this past weekend for border delay? Still searching every third car?

Thanks, SunDevil. Going down in a few days myself. Will need to make some adjustments.

Could I trouble someone for a little more detail about the searches? Was this leaving Mexico or coming in? Could you describe the search? How long did it seem to take to search a vehicle?

Is the seaweed pretty much everywhere, or mainly along the shoreline by the cliffs where it always is this time of year?

Whale shark. I heard they've been around Lobos lately. Plant eaters that don't attack people. I understand that swimming with the whale sharks is a popular tourist activity in the Carribean.

What do you mean by scary? That Corvinas are dwindling?

Just before sunset and an hour before high tide - great advice if the tide schedule cooperates, but it isn't cooperating that week. After sunrise and before sunset you'll be getting outgoing tides. Does it make sense to target corvina? We haven't been seeing them around Lobos for quite...

Black Widow?

Dried out cigars is another problem in Mexico. An affluent Mexican national with homes in Tucson and Hermosillo once told me he always buys his cigars in the US for that reason. Even if the retailer keeps them in a humidor, often someone else in the supply chain lets them dry out. Try JR...
