the summer dorado tournament in mulege has been scheduled for may 25th & 26th. should be a ton of fun, check out the web site for details, http://www.mulegefishingtournaments.com/
also the floating dock that will go on the end of the existing pier is under construction and with any luck will be in place soon. this has been made
possible from the proceeds from the last tournament.

ummmm, never heard of yellows considerd a bottom fish ummmmmm.Minnow - 4-30-2007 at 05:21 PM
Yea, Steve, I was wondering about that too. They fish em deep in that area. Though, I have caught them on the surface of the north end of san marcos,
as well as deep over the sea mounts. Lots of home guard moss backs in the area.Hook - 4-30-2007 at 05:25 PM
Tides probably account for the placement of the tournament. I would bet those days have plus tides in the AM, as most launch sites in the Mulege area
need this.
NOt as much of an issue at BOLA, with their good paved ramps.Bob and Susan - 4-30-2007 at 06:48 PM
hey...i thought most of those "croakers" were "bottom feeders"
they are at catalina island in southern california
anyway aren't jump'in fish way more FUN FUN FUNMinnow - 4-30-2007 at 06:53 PM
Bob, I would take a Dorado over a yellowtail any day. Either ain't bad though.Roberto - 4-30-2007 at 06:58 PM

Croakers? Are you sure you know what a yellowtail is? They are jacks, not croakers, and they are certainly not bottom feeders either - they are found
pretty much anywhere in the water column, depending on conditions.
Dorado are great, but they are wimps compared to jacks in general and YT in particular. Try pulling on a 50lb yellowtail sometime.Bob and Susan - 5-1-2007 at 05:04 AM
croakers ... jacks...
your're right...
i WRONG again!!!
susan made me put the boat away...
i have OTHER chores for a couple weeks...
can i use these for BAIT???
sure easier to snare this time of year
capt. mike - 5-1-2007 at 06:06 AM
nice dodo Roger!
i will be catching that size in the tourney...........for I AM on the Dock Holiday!!!!!!!!!!!
and for eating give me a dodo any day over a YT, but i eat both!!
i think YTs pull harder but for dancing action which i enjoy more, its a dodo.
Hey Minnow - you should come down for the tourney.Bob and Susan - 5-1-2007 at 06:23 AM
tom if you come down i'll enter with you!!!
we can use my boat...it's sweet (con bees)
its almost wet !
mulege marv - 5-2-2007 at 12:34 PM

Minnow - 5-2-2007 at 03:58 PM
Bob with an offer like that I might just have to take you up on it.
Of course I will have to ask my wife, but I was planning on being in Baja on those days anyway.
50/50 on expenses?
I'll check with the Germans and see if they have room for us.
Wife says no problemo. Better start following Pompano around to water.
[Edited on 2-5-2007 by Minnow]Bob and Susan - 5-2-2007 at 04:02 PM
i pay the gas...and boat
boat is already full and ready to "go-dog-go"
you think we should hire a guide?
i could reserve him tomorrow...Minnow - 5-2-2007 at 04:12 PM
The guide is up to you, but we got Pompano's Maps.
You got a fishfinder wtih temp on it?
I've fished dorado with several of the captn's there. They usually just go out to between Pta. Conception and Sta. Inez and chunk. I think this
early in the season might dictate a different strategy.Bob and Susan - 5-3-2007 at 12:42 PM
minnow, his wife, susan and bob are in...
all licensed up...drove to santa rosalia today
boat...susan...me
Marv, when is the last day to pay the entry fees???capt. mike - 5-3-2007 at 02:06 PM

Tom knows where the fish are there!Minnow - 5-3-2007 at 02:08 PM

mulege marv - 5-4-2007 at 05:31 AM
looks like a pretty old picture of you and that dorado, you have had to have got one since then
Bob and Susan - 5-4-2007 at 05:49 AM
marv
remember pompano is almost 7 feet tall
i saw him in santa rosalia last year...
that's one BIG dorado...
where (exactly) is the floating deck right now?
i'd like to see it before it goes in the water
where (exactly) will you place it?
will YOUR boat be able to drive to it???
if so mine will too...
bob & susan
mulege marv - 5-4-2007 at 06:17 AM
currently the dock is behind my house, when wet it will be attached to the exsisting pier with a walk ramp to it. and yes you will be able to get your
boat to it. we are just having a little trouble locating the hardware we need to attach it to the pier.
[Edited on 5-4-2007 by mulege marv]Bob and Susan - 5-4-2007 at 06:30 AM
if it floats out in the middle of the river
entrance i'll easily be able to get to it
ramp
mulege marv - 5-4-2007 at 06:47 AM
yes, its going on the end of the pier at the boat ramp behind the serenidad and military post (donation pier)
Bob and Susan - 5-22-2007 at 07:55 AM
isn't tomorrow the last day to enter the tourny????
i'll have to buy minnows ticket for him and his wife...
they won't arrive until thursday for the meetingHook - 5-22-2007 at 10:29 AM
In past Mulege tournaments, you could buy them at the meeting. That's what I did about a year and a half ago.
Is the floating dock in yet, Marv?Bob and Susan - 5-22-2007 at 11:18 AM
AFTER i bought the tickets today they told me you could still buy in at the meeting on thursday afternoon...
tom...we're in
marv where's the dock????
well, i appoligize
mulege marv - 5-23-2007 at 02:40 AM
unfortunatllythe new "floating dock " will not be in before the tournament. building something in mulege that is not made from rock or brick can be
very frustrating, there is very little steel available ( except rebar), so after trying to get what we needed from ensenada and other towns we are now
down to using what is here rather than what we need. with any luck the dock will be in next week sometime (its still behind my house) but both ramps
are usable. as far as the tournament tickets go we did have a deadline of tomorrow but that has been extented till thursday at the anglers meeting. a
deadline was tried as well as online purchasing to try to get people to purchase early so we would have some idea as to how many people would be
attending for planning purposes, but alot just dont get it and wait until the last minute. can you imagine hosting a party with seating, food, help,
prizes, etc., and not any idea how many to plan for ? makes it a little tough. ahh maybe next time .
i appoligize for the dock not being in the water for this tournament but it was not due to lack of effort, just lack of materials.
Bob and Susan - 5-24-2007 at 05:30 PM
We were in and...
now we're OUT
it's like having the right car and right before the big race...
the engine goes
Starter blew up inside...
Hook - 5-24-2007 at 06:54 PM
I am SO SORRY for your predicament, B/S.
Damn boats !!!!!
Hey, if they wont refund your fees, make up for it at the dinner.

Don Jorge! I agree with you 100%. Bob and Susan - 5-28-2007 at 10:53 AM
everyone at the party got a couple of pieces of the "beasts"

rpleger - 5-28-2007 at 11:07 AM
And a good party it was....everyone had a good time and a excellent dinner.
When is the next one?
Don Jorge
mulege marv - 5-29-2007 at 05:10 AM
it is a requirement of the tournament that ALL fish be iced as soon as they are in the boat, fish improperly cared for will be refused at the weigh
in.
pics
mulege marv - 5-29-2007 at 05:23 AM
if you were one of the lucky ones and weighed in a fish like Rue Haberman of palm springs, i have a picture of you and your fish. if you would like
your picture emailed to you let me know. http://www.mulegefishingtournaments.com
Minnow - 6-5-2007 at 08:00 PM
Great fish no doubt. To those who question the care of the fish, by the time I saw the first days big Wahoo, it was machaca. There was even debate if
it was a Wahoo?
Made me sick, that I didn't catch it. Also, Saw many of the "winning dorado" brought in in gunny sacks.
Even though we didn't catch the grande, we had plenty of ice on board. I am not saying the winning boats didn't.
Great time all in all. Great experience on the water!!!!!!!!!
Bob with an offer like that I might just have to take you up on it. 
...but...
