Here is a message from the Serenidad about the closure of fishing.

MULEGE, MEXICO: Diana Johnson of Mulege's historic Hotel Serenidad said sport boats were fishing again after the recent massive damage from storm John. Sportfishing boats were being allowed to fish at Mulege on Saturday, Sept. 15, 2006, despite rumors of a local closure.

"There is no official SAGARPA closure for sportfishing," Johnson said. "People went fishing today. The closure is for clamming. Up to today, there is no restriction on sportfishing." Johnson said recent storm John brought the highest flood waters to Mulege since the huge storm of 1959 that silted in the river and is thought by some to have pushed out the local population of giant black snook.
