Going to La Paz tomorrow. How long does it take for fishing to return to La Paz after a storm like Jimena?Cypress - 9-2-2009 at 10:57 AM
As soon as the water settles down. The fishing should be fantastic. Big storms churn things up and relocate reef fish from deep-water hang outs. The pelagics ride the storm to where ever it takes 'em. The problem is getting fuel,
ice, etc.shari - 9-2-2009 at 11:10 AM
which is why we fueled up all our extra jugs, tanks and coolers with ice and beer...the fishing is gonna rock!Cypress - 9-2-2009 at 11:18 AM
Shari, Good luck! The fishing will be fantastic. Can't wait to see the pictures.shari - 9-2-2009 at 11:34 AM
a man and his son drove like mad to get here yesterday before the storm hit to cash in on the aftermath fishing...woo hoo...just slept outside...too
windy for the tent and hot....they are troopers! and brought me one of those skookum floor squeegies Ros was mentioning and a bunch of lures...woo hooSkipjack Joe - 9-2-2009 at 11:49 AM
Dorado fishing is usually very good the first week after a storm. The rains wash out tree trunks and other large objects which later become areas the
fish frequent. Just look for anything large floating about and chances are excellent there'll be dorado.
In effect it concentrates the fish and gives you a clue as to where they are at the same time. Good luck.Santiago - 9-2-2009 at 01:17 PM

Skookum is a Chinook jargon word that has come into general use in British Columbia and Yukon Territory in Canada, and in the U.S. Pacific Northwest.
The word skookum has three meanings:
1. a word in regional English that has a variety of positive connotations;
2. a monster; similar to the sasquatch
3. a souvenir doll once common in the United States in tourist areas.

Great word. Using it in a sentence is just plain skookum.
Here's another...The Skookum Indian, a longime landmark in the town of Wenatchee, Washington.
The pelagics ride the storm to where ever it takes 'em. The problem is getting fuel,
ice, etc.
