    CBSC Fishing Derby 18

    Great weather for hunting. Maybe you'll want to sit by the camp fire too.

    Restaurants by the lighthouse?

    El Capitan is a good one, but we used to have another choice. The Lighthouse closed or was sold and renamed something about vino and pan, and the new one did not receive good reviews and had folded when we were down there a year ago. Has it re-opened under a new name and management? And if...

    Esmeralda Resort Ribbon Cutting

    Since somebody brought up missing persons, what happened to Lady Jeeper and Lagrimas?

    Rocky Point Fishing in October

    There's been some great information and advice given here, but I'm a little confused. Jeremy says he's not worried about expense, but we're telling him how to do this on the cheap with Arturo in Puerto Lobos. What we don't know is what level of comfort Jeremy and his crew require or how...

    Surf Fishing around Mayan Resort

    A bag of squid can be purchased at a bait shop next to the marina in Rocky Point. We've even used pieces of hot dog to catch trigger fish and spotted bay (rock) bass. Small, hungry fish will attack about anything. As for where to fish, you should ask at the Mayan Palace as they've...

    Shuttle from Tucson to Rocky Point/ Penasco

    Click on more information and you’ll find pricing. $250 per person for one or two people and progressively cheaper per person as you add more people. For a group of eight or more it’s not a bad price, but I don’t believe you can adequately enjoy Rocky Point without a car.

    Capones may be closed

    So did this ever get sorted out? I went to Capone's Facebook page and found no news since yesterday morning and no explanation.

    Hotel coming in Puerto Lobos

    Last weekend I talked to two guys who stayed in the orange/green hotel. Both were quite happy with it. I believe there are single rooms with two beds for $40 for 2 guys and larger ones upstairs. Don't know the price for the larger ones.

    Reliable snap swivels?

    Thanks. I'll order some today. It was never the swivel I really wanted anyway. Just the snap for quick lure changes.

    Rosy's Restaurant

    I've been to Kaffee Haus once, a year ago, based on recommendations here. I found it ok but nothing special, and why go to a Wisconsin-style restaurant in Mexico, especially given the wait times and tight parking? I'd rather find a Mexican restaurant that opened really early. I know, good...

    Reliable snap swivels?

    I've been buying Shellure ball bearing swivels through Amazon. When a fish broke my 80 lb swivel I upsized to 127 lbs, but I'm still not confident. What do you guys buy for the big boys?

    What happened to red light green light going in?

    I think the emphasis on business visas might be part of the "wall wars."

    What happened to red light green light going in?

    We went through Friday about 10 a.m. No real delay at the border. A few cars were ahead of us partly because U of A students were off for Presidents' Birthday. Not sure if this was an all day trend or we just happened to get behind a bunch of them. On the Mexican side we were asked where we...

    Handgun in PP

    That is exactly my thinking. If you have trouble in the U.S., it's most likely with one person (rapist, burglar, etc.) In Mexico it's more likely to be with several and you aren't going to shoot your way out of it. In Mexico your best defensive tool is your brain.

    Orca photos from Arturo dive and fish lobos

    Arturo's is in Lobos. His facebook page lists this number. 6371006670 I believe you have to dial 011 or 001 first.

    Big Boy Trip!

    This has been an eye-opener for me. I've been using 80 lb braid with 10 feet of 80 lb mono leader and a 115 lb Shellure swivel pulling the lure. I'd assumed I was ready for a 100 lb grouper with that rig. Sounds like I need to beef it up in case a big one hits. And if I understand...

    Big Boy Trip!

    I have no business telling anyone how to fish saltwater on this forum, considering the expertise here, but I'll say what little I'm sure of. Braid, and only braid, should be used for shorecasting because you'll get significantly more distance. Braid also gives crispier hookups when bottom...

    Killer whales!

    North Atlantic, north Pacific, generally everywhere the water is cold. I've read that there are seals around Cabo, but I doubt this is accurate. The critters we see in the Sea of Cortez are sea lions. And by the way, a fisherman reported sea the Lobos orcas eating a sea lion, so apparently...

    Killer whales!

    Look what's turned up near Lobos. There were several of them. I believe this picture (taken Jan. 4, I believe) and some others I've seen originated from Arturo, who operates Arturo's Diving and Fishing Tours. His Facebook page https://www.facebook...07771562777888/ has video showing...

    Jerry, What's the attraction at the Tanques? I drive by and see the sign but have never gone over there.
