If you look rich and dumb, la policia might pull you over in Sonoyta and try to shake you down.

Kastmasters are great, so are krocodile spoons. I like 1 oz lures with braided line and a flourocarbon leader with my 10 ft surf rod. I can really huck it out there with my setup. I also fly fish whenever I know there are fish around, but it's not as productive. Early mornings and evenings...

With the rain forecast this week you should be careful on the Caborca Road and the dirt road to Playa Miramar. The Sonoyta River was flowing over Caborca Road at Thanksgiving and the road from Caborca Road to the beach gets very messy when it's wet. Consider using the road to the Mayan Palace if...

Great report! My guess is a big sierra or , like you said, a croaker. The shape of the tail makes me think you're probably right. Those dolphin videos are unreal. Nothing like coming eye to eye with one of them.

Over the last couple months I've had some of the best corvina fishing since I started going to PP. We fished La Pinta on the Mayan side on Friday evening. As the sun was setting I was getting hit on every cast with my fly rod. I even caught a few on a popper. My buddy (first time saltwater...

Found a pic of the cruise director for the Astoria. Looks like a nice guy.

I see squid at the international markets in Phoenix, sometimes cheaper than I can get it in RP.

A medium or fast action surf rod (10'+) will give you the effect as lightweight tackle and you'll be able to cast a lot further. Especially with the braided line, although you probably don't need 40 lb like I use. I do recommend a mono or fluoro leader. It seems to help catch more fish and I'm...

None of them are good eating in my opinion, but the mullet are fun to catch. Put up a great fight.

I was down there a couple weeks ago and didn't see much off the beach during the day. I even went out snorkeling and didn't see a single fish near the beach besides a handful of baby needle fish. Night fishing was ok though. We caught a bunch of saltwater catfish, a couple rays and a few mullet...

I have a Penn Pursuit II 4000 paired with a 10' surf rod that I really like for shore fishing. I have 40 lb braid with a 20 lb fluoro leader. I'm able to chuck it out there pretty good and don't have to worry about breaking off too much. If you want to go cheap, the Shakespeare Tiger setup from...

I'm a big fan of the fishing forum on this site and I think there are still a few people that follow it besides myself. It certainly seems like there are a good number of people that prefer this page to the FB alternative.

I've heard of tiger and hammerheads not too far out. The ones we caught had mouths on the bottom like nurse sharks. We caught the same species on a trip out to 50 mile reef a couple years ago and they told us they are sand sharks, but they're clearly not.

Took a guys trip the other week and tried night fishing from shore for the first time. We caught shovelnose, puffer fish, mullet, saltwater catfish and, to my surprise, a few baby sharks. We've caught sharks further out, but I didn't know they cruised the beaches too. Does anybody know what type...

Well, the shore fishing was a bust this past week. I didn't try bait or bottom fishing, but chucking spoons didn't produce much. Not too uncommon for this time of year. The wind and cold sure didn't help much. We did launch the boat from the shore on Thursday and Friday. Cold, windy and slow...

Has anybody been fishing from shore lately?? Last time I tried there were more bait fish than I had ever seen which resulted in catching zero fish. Just wondering if things have picked up.

Kastmasters and crocodile spoons are my choice for shore fishing. No bigger than 1 oz or you'll get too many snags and catch less fish just because of the size. I've used a sabiki rig with a 1 oz crocodile spoon on the end and had a lot of success. One time I caught 3 fish on the same cast...

I found this one at a fish market in town a few years ago. Not sure if they still sell them

I fished for about 4-5 hours total. Birds were everywhere and I would try to fish near groups of diving birds in hopes there were fish pushing the bait towards the surface, but that didn't work. Occasionally I would see the bait scatter or a 5-6 ft diameter opening moving in the bait, which I...

The road is pretty good. There are some potholes from the recent rains between Penasco and the Mayan Palace and then a rough area with quite a few potholes between the Mayan and a security checkpoint about 30 miles outside of Penasco. Beyond that the road is in good shape. Just take it slow in...
