Longtime friends Tim Korby and Gary Elfering traveled from Minnesota to join me for 3 days of fishing in the Sea of Cortez on my 23' Wellcraft "Murphy Girl". With the new moon the first day of fishing (Sunday), we expected the strong currents would give us problems fishing the deep reefs. We...

I'm planning to take my boat out fishing this Sat and/or Sun and don't have anyone going with me yet. If you will be down this weekend and are interested in getting out, let me know. No guarantees, but I thought I'd put out the invite and see how it plays out. The fishing has been very good...

Tue June 7th – Aaronn returned to Phoenix on Monday night and Dave also made a trip to Phoenix, so I decided to fish all by myself in Lobos. I now knew how, when and where to fish and was determined to be fishing at the Glory Hole when low tide occurred. I started fishing the 18 mile reef and...

All - I’m back working now in Abu Dhabi, but wanted to write about a great vacation I spent fishing in Rocky Point. It was very successful as I was able to see a lot of our good friends, the weather was good, and the boat ran well. It will be the last time I can fish down in Rocky Point for...
