    Windy this weekend?

    Looks a little breezy this weekend but not too bad. Seems like anything under 1 ft. waves aren't too bad fishing in the yak. But Tuesday and Wednesday next week look scary. 3+ ft. waves?? http://en.windfinder.com/forecast/puerto_penasco

    Verizon service on Playa Encanto

    I know this has been talked about a lot but I can't find a recent answer to this specific question so I appreciate if any one has recent intel. Can I get Verizon cell phone service on Playa Encanto? It sounds like I can in town for sure and I'd just have to pay roaming charges and turn off text...

    Kayaking video

    This was a little experiment with the Tachyon HD camera mounted on a pvc pipe in my kayak's rod holder.:boat: It turned out OK but the only viewable fishing video I got was catching little rock bass. RockyPoint12 - YouTube

    Kayak fishing week of 6/4

    Fished off Encanto and around Morua this week. Man, those were some crazy low tides. The reef at the entrance had a mile of exposed sand around it at low tide and I almost couldn't get the kayak there. I learned a valuable lesson about how fast the tide changes when I saw my kayak starting to...

    Can any one identify this?

    We saw hundreds of these this week off Encanto and assumed they were jelly fish. But they were hard to the touch and I can't find any info online. Any one know what they were?

    Kayak fishing 5/23-5/26/11

    Got some good kayak fishing in from Playa Encanto while staying there last week. Each morning I paddled about 2 miles to the reefs at the mouth of Morua Estuary. That is one beautiful spot. The tides cooperated with a rising tide each morning. The first reefs are exposed even with high tide...

    Beachfront rentals

    Sadly, our previous rental contact is no longer renting. Does any one have suggestions of where to find a beachfront house or townhouse for rent? Preferably Playa Encanto or Play La Jolla since they're close to Morua estuary (kayak fishing) but Cholla bay and Las Conchas areas also sound...

    Children required to have Passport Cards?

    A generally well-informed couple that we travel to Mexico with is asking me if children are now required (at least by the letter of the law) to have passport cards. Everything I read indicates this is false, but can any one enlighten me? Has there been a change in U.S. policy? Thanks!

    La Pinta 6/8

    We were in RP 6/7 thru 6/10 and I fished the La Pinta estuary on the kayak on 6/8. I was going to last year's launch point - the panga launch accessed at about km post 32 on the Caborca road. But there are signs saying Prohibidad and something about the Federales. I could see the pangeros were...

    Visas?

    We go down a couple times a year, usually for about 4 days. I'd read on this forum that you supposedly need a Visa if staying more than 72 hours. Can any one tell me, do I need to get visas for my family if we're going longer? And if so, where is the most convenient place to get one? I heard...

    Crowds in June?

    Is Rocky Point very crowded in early June with school out? I'm pretty sure it's not, but the folks going with me wanted me to check. Thanks!

    Early June Weather

    We're planning a trip down in early June. We'll be right on the beach and we like warm weather (from Tucson) but we'll have no Air conditioning, just fans. Will the weather be OK, especially for sleeping? It looks like the weather down there is nice in early June before the monsoon hits, but I...

    Fishing at La Pinta

    I'll be down fishing near La Pinta in a week. I'll be paddling from the place on the left, targeting the deeper water south of the Mayan Palace and into the estuary (about a 1.75 mile paddle). Any suggestions or reports on this location? The Mayan Palace is the place with all of the squares on...

    Playa Dorada 5/11-5/13

    OK, these are just small fry compared to all of you serious fishermen and women. But we had a great time fishing from Playa Dorada (about 10 miles south of rocky point, north of the Mayan Palace). This is probably the worst place to fish that you could find, being basically an endless sandbar...
