Anyone like to catch fish like this? [AT TACH=full]7645[/ATTACH] Now that I have your attention, I’ll continue. I caught that fish near Puerto Lobos, two hours south of Rocky Point. In the past year and half, I’ve made eight trips there. We're lucky to be able to camp under a ramada on...

I think this is what you're looking for. http://www.marinapuertopenasco.com/english/

Wood Spinner, I assume you're asking about Santo Tomas. I think I covered Lobos pretty well. I'll let Jerry handle Santo Tomas since he has a house there and visits often, and I've only been to Santo Tomas once back in 2012.

I'll let you know next time I'm going. Thanksgiving I'll be with my family slicing turkey, and immediately thereafter I have a deer hunt. First half of October is already full, but late October and early November are possibilities. I've fished Lobos once in October and it was fine, but...

Fishing was disappointing this time. Maybe 10 small groupers, mostly sardineros, ranging from 2 to 12 lbs. Between Thursday evening and Sunday morning, I'd estimate we spent 12 to 14 hours fishing, most of it trolling diving lures just above rocky reefs. That also brought us several rock...

Just returned from Lobos and posted a lengthy reply on the fishing forum in the thread entitled "Santo Tomas." But I'll address road conditions here. Except for the first 10 or 15 miles coming out of Rocky Point, the road is quite good. We did experience potholes at the beginning of that...

Just got back from four days at Lobos and have the following developments to report. This was my 7th trip in the last year and a half. Since my last trip in mid-June, the town now has an automated drinking water dispenser. Bring your own container and some peso coins. I spent four pesos (65...

OK, I just finished a post under the fishing section (Santo Tomas thread) where I told someone that Lobos has no gas station or RV park. Since things can happen pretty fast, I'll check it out and let you know next week. Last I knew, water was brought in by truck. It isn't especially good to...

Puerto Lobos is little more than a fishing village comprised of cement block houses and three little stores that offer only the basics. Ice, beer, cigarettes, snacks and a few grocery items. Buy your food in Rocky Point and take it with you. There are no RV facilities of any kind that I'm...

Super Grouper book?

I would be very much against it. Leave it to word of mouth. I don't mind sharing some of what little I know with others of my choosing, and I believe that's how most people are. But posting coordinates for anyone who gets a tip about this forum would surely bring a lot of ill feelings and...

Shouldn't be too expensive to deploy a couple of pangas to go around confiscating or destroying the nets. That should discourage the violators.

Does anyone claim to know what all this means? I gather it involves some combination of economic development, municipal governance and law enforcement, or am I reading too much into it?

I'm surprised no one has answered yet. Do you plan to stay in Rocky Point? If so, there are short half day excursions for trigger fish. Not very satisfying in my opinion. Full day charters out of Rocky point can be good but are expensive. Farther south there is much better fishing closer...

Now I see that over on the General forum, there's been a discussion of crab harvesting and recipes. Evidently some don't agree with me that they aren't worth fooling with. Guess you can try it and decide for yourself.

Sea of Cortez. And that's right, there isn't much meat. Kind of like messing with craw dads.

Those SOC crabs are very healthy eating. You burn up more calories catching and preparing them than you'll take in eating them.

Your best source for Santo Tomas is Jerry, who owns a house there. (He's probably already PM'd you since he seems to eat and sleep at his keyboard.). Let me just say that Santa Tomas isn't Cabo. It isn't even Rocky Point. I'd be surprised if there are jet ski or boat rentals. There's an...

We've caught a lot of those around Puerto Lobos, though not on purpose. At first we ate them and they're okay, but anymore they end up as bait or get tossed back. I should add that a local in Lobos told us they were called monk fish. An internet search shows very different fish under the...

Jerry, sent you a PM.
