Live Bait

bearbait1 - 10-5-2007 at 03:28 PM

Does anyone in the Los Barilles area catch their own live bait, if so, how hard are bait schools to find?

Thanks

Bairbait........ I fished on the East Cape last week and sardinas were thick along the shoreline from El Cardinal to Punta Pericho. Two good throws with a cast net would fill up your baitwell.

bill erhdhart Isn't the use of a cast net illegal for non Maxican citizens?:?:

Using live bait is illegal for non Mexican nationals.

If he was a blond headed Dutch boy, you may have some explaining to do.

Cypress........ Yes, it is illegal for a foreigner to use a cast net in Mexico, but it is not illegal for a foreigner to use the work product of a net cast by a Mexican citizen.

Casi -- but only half a cigar :lol::lol:

Only the FIRST TWO fish may be caught with live bait. After that, only live bait is allowed:

By why quote Gene Kira, when we have the world expert on all things Mexican right here (drum roll) our own DENNIS. :cool:

Hmmm...then can someone explain the "bait ball" concept for me? I seem to be drawn to this feature with circling baby sharks in LB each time I get downwind into the dead zone while windsurfing!

I've been gone a few days, thanks for the replies. I guess I'll have to take a Mexican fishing every day to throw the net.! Actually I already knew of the net restriction, I was refering to using sabiki rigs, but after reading Gene Kira's article I can only use 4 hooks.

I'd be interested in the same question (sabiki rig bait, e.g. mackeral or big eye).

BTW, for East Cape or La Paz people, there is a very large school of tuna about a mile off the Ensenda de Muertos launch ramp--enough tuna that the Las Arenas fleet seems to have moved to E. de M., at least temporarily, and the Giggling Marlin is now charging 150p to launch there. Today the fish were about 80' deep and the preferred rig seemed to be fluorocarbon leaders with a rubber line weight and a small sardine.
