    Tremendous scandal in the popular colony Obrera.

    Enough was lost in the transation that I have no idea what the heck happened.

    Budget Hotels?

    Can't say about the reservation but better safe than sorry. I've stayed there and have only the best things to say about it, but be advised that overnight parking is on the street. I had fishing and camping equipment with me and the owner was extremely gracious in opening the gate so I could...

    Fish Story for the Week of March 30th

    Thanks, McCauley. Mine was about a 2-pounder taken a little south of the point at Lobos. I released it. We also released eight barracudas we caught near the surface around that time. Some pangueras had stopped near the rocks to clean their fish, and we think that's why the barracudas were...

    Fish Story for the Week of March 30th

    That's an outstanding catch! Question: In the one picture where two of you are holding up fish, what's the fish on the left? I'm sure many on this forum already know, but I caught a smaller one like it a week ago and want to know what it was.

    The 6th of April 1857 a Mexican victory over American pirates

    I see this version is from 1934. The statement about manifest destiny is inaccurate. The US never had designs on what is currently Mexico or Central America, only the continental US including as much of Canada as it could get. America's historical expert on Manifest Destiny was Bernard De...

    14-15mph wind this weekend -- too much?

    Thanks. I think a plan is taking shape now, assuming we'll still go rather than wait a few more days.

    14-15mph wind this weekend -- too much?

    Another guy and I are planning a trip to Lobos in the next couple of days. The boat is an 18-foot aluminum with a 40 H.P. motor. It never goes out farther than a mile even under good conditions since conditions can change. Casa Weez forecasts 7-9 mph winds in the mornings with the afternoons...

    Game and Fish Expo

    Check out the posts from mis810. If I'm ever around her, I'll be sure to be wearing my acid-proof goggles. There's also the question of why so many chose to bring up commercially guided hunts and unsportsman-like tactics and practices when most hunters don't do those things.

    Game and Fish Expo

    Ladyjeeper, I'm not sure it's wise to steer this crowd to the Game & Fish Expo. Some of them might go and find out there are hunters there. We found out how several of them view hunting 3 or 4 threads ago on this forum.

    New Mexico hunters and trappers killing every bear and lion they can

    And MIS2810, I've gotta ask: What's a BIL?

    New Mexico hunters and trappers killing every bear and lion they can

    OK, I'm back after spending several hours trying to get radio signals from sheep collars in the Catalinas. More about that later. To Kenny, I will admit that some people I know do go on guided hunts out of state, but most of my friends do not, and I don't know anyone who hires a guide to hunt...

    New Mexico hunters and trappers killing every bear and lion they can

    Jerry, did he have a tag for a doe? Reason I'm asking is that Az Game and Fish hasn't issued any doe tags to the general public in several decades. Someone who explains shooting a sculpture thinking it was a doe is confessing to intending to commit a crime. Most likely he was simply lying to...

    Advice needed for first time in PP

    I don't consider La Curva Tex-Mex. I also don't consider La Curva anything real special, just good Sonoran-style Mexican food like you can find at Tucson's family-owned Mexican restaurants, which is saying a lot. I see you're from Tucson. You can get someting real similar to the La Curva food...

    Safe in Puerto Penasco?

    As a new but rapidly learning cardiac patient, I'd like to insert this medical fact: 90% of the cholesterol is what your liver decides to manufacture, and the remaining 10% is the result of what you decide to eat. This is a change from what we'd been hearing until recently. In other words, we...

    U of A study on intimidation of Mexico's press

    Gosh... who would have ever thought it... http://uanews.org/story/lives-threatened-lost-ua-study-reveals-dangers-to-mexican-journalists-along-u-s-border I do find it important that, as the study points out, Mexican journalists funnel information to US reporters who can print what can't be...

    Fishing buddy(ies) needed for Feb 15-27

    My limited experience plus some asking around suggests that panga excursions around Rocky Point are usually just a few miles out and you'll mainly be catching triggerfish. Personally, I find reeling in triggers with few prospects for anything else to be a little boring and not worth the money...

    Pilot episode: "Penasco Today"

    Terrific photography. Overall, a fine effort, but I did have a problem with the testimonial on border crossing. Visas? Come on, this is Rocky Point! Inside the 100 mile limit. We don't need no stinking visas! But he should have mentioned Mexican auto insurance. That's a glaring omission...

    What to believe here?

    JWT (whoever that is), you've created one of the most misguided posts I've ever seen on any forum. News bulletin: This site is owned and managed by a guy who lives in or around Phoenix. Maybe that qualifies him as one of those "clinger/groupie" types you referred to, but without him this...
