I agree that the yellowtail amberjack can be pretty good to eat, but only if you remove all the red parts of the meat. It also helps to bleed a yellowtail immediately in the boat. In grilling the non-red portions I've found that lemon-herb Old Bay Seasoning works pretty well. Not a meal to...

Shuffling your feet is fine for wade-fishing, but not practical when putting a panga in the water. You move as fast as the action requires and shuffling just doesn't cut it. For what it's worth, hand launching is best performed on an incoming tide, and I believe there are fewer stingrays in...

Interesting article and I believe largely accurate although dripping with the reporter's personal biases. As an SOC fisherman/afficianado, here's the part that really caught my eye. "Mexican sport fishermen make more money guiding fishing and diving than gillnetting, and they recently feuded...

Robert E. Lee campground? Aren't you worried that you'll find it all torn down when you get there?

I just got back from a week in Taos, which makes more sense than Mexico in August. The grouper and snapper will still be in the SOC in late September and after.

Chris, I got the latest on what's available for rent in Lobos. Will send you a PM tonight.

I can find you a place to rent, but not sure about AC. I tend to stay away from Lobos from mid-summer until late September. I'll look into it tomorrow.

La Roca on the Malecon. I don't know what they have for large rooms as I've never needed one, so you might have to rent two rooms, but the cost will probably be about the same as a motel with all the things you're asking for...

Sargasso. Hmmm... A diver tells me big fish (grouper) like to lay up under mats of seaweed (sargasso), but trolling through that mess stops the boat when I have to remove seaweed from my lure. I'm assuming the trick is to troll close to seaweed patches but not through them. Easier said than...

Just read Roberto's post. Somebody get a rope.

Had a strange conversation in Puerto Lobos this past weekend. A school principal from Mexicali told me a lot of the locals over there don't believe the vaquita actually exists. Local fishermen say they've never seen a vaquita. They think it's a hoax designed to drive out the fishermen...

I believe taking an SUV and two people across on the ferry is about $420. Might be worth it as it saves gas and lots of time. If you do that, let us know how well it worked. http://www.ferrysantarosalia.com/tarifas.php

So were they out on the sea earlier and just returning across the mud flats with their catch?

I'm watching this with keen interest. Mexican fishermen burn boat, demand environmentalists out By MARK STEVENSON Associated Press MARCH 27, 2017 — 3:35PM MEXICO CITY — Dozens of fishermen have burned a boat as part of a threat to force out a ship operated by the Sea Shepherd Conservation...

Anyone know if oysters, clams and other mollusks are being sold again in Rocky Point? Also, is the oyster farm at Marua estuary still operating and serving meals?

Definitely the blue route. Also, locals in Lobos advised me to only take the coastal route in daylight hours. I don't believe they were thinking only of rough roads.

If you guys have run out of things to read about this area, try Charles Sheldon's The Wilderness of the Southwest, edited by Neil Carmony and David E. Brown. I bought a copy through Amazon just before my sheep hunt on the Cabeza Prieta in 2014, and it wasn't expensive. Except for a short...

So what does this mean to tourists? Do not buy clams or oysters for a year or so in case some bad ones were harvested and kept in the freezer until the ban was lifted? Is the little restaurant by the oyster farm at Morua estuary closed? Are the oyster farms out of business for a while?

Just finished Googling ciguetera, which I'd never heard of before. Wonderful. Another thing to worry about.

You have a point there.
