    Dumb question, but ...

    Do you need to be a Sam's Club member to shop there in Rocky Point? We've always had someone in our group who's a member and don't recall if you need the card as you would in the states.

    Safe place to leave a car on US side?

    We need to leave a car somewhere between Ajo and Lukeville on our way to Rocky Point. Anyone know of a place to do that, even if it means paying a small daily fee? I believe this has been discussed in the past, but things can thing so I wanted any current information someone might have.

    Border crossing wait times evening

    I know someone who plans to come back on Sunday, last weekend in March. He was hoping to hit the border around 3 pm. How long should he expect to wait in line? Would he be better off to get there around 5 pm? I don't know these things because I seldom return on Sundays. Last time I did I...

    Line cutters at the border

    Coming back yesterday we had had a 55-minute wait at the border. About 20 minutes into it, a Porsche Audi with Az plates races past the cars behind us and pulls up alongside us. The two middle-aged occupants are smiling sweetly and indicating they'd like to cut in. Our driver angrily motions...

    New Mexico border restriction?

    Says here Mexico just announced that we can no longer cross the border except for essential travel. Do they mean it? And when will they implement it? https://www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/2021/03/18/mexico-announces-covid-border-restrictions-for-non-essential-travel/4752656001/

    Question for kayakers

    Since we've already drifted away from Rocky Pt, I have some questions about kayak fishing. I've never been in a kayak and thought this might be a good time to try it out in fresh water. If I take to it, I might try it in the ocean on calm days. Any kayak I buy, now or later, would be an...

    Yamaha outboard dealer

    Can anyone steer me to a Yamaha outboard dealer closer than a thousand miles from here? Doesn't seem to be one in Arizona. We're looking for a new 25 - 35 Yamaha to push a 26-foot coastal panga. We've been using an old 2-stroke 40 HP Merc and a 4-stroke 9.9 Yamaha. The 9.9 uses very little...

    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...

    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?

    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...

    Fish identification

    Just when I think I've got these SOC fish and their multiple names figured out, something happens to make me doubt myself. Is this a sardinero? Is this a leopard grouper? Or are leopard groupers and sardineros one and the same? And if so, which is which, and what's the other one...
