Mulege questions

toneart - 10-1-2009 at 12:25 PM

1. Is the mosquito spray truck operating? If so, is it spraying the whole area? Is it repeating?

2. Is anybody fishing? Pangueros; Gringos? Is there still a lot of debris in the Sea of Cortez making it a navigation hazzard? Is the sand bar to the lighthouse filling back in? Where can boats launch?

The sandbar from El Patron/Almeja beachcafe to the lighthouse will eventually fill back in as always, but might take more time than usual. Jimena moved a lot of real estate.

You can easily launch from the southside donation pier. Just watch a couple of pangas first to determine your path through the deepest channels. Piece of cake after that...just the odd Winnebago floating out there on the Cortez.

Fishing is what it is...and you'll have fun as always, so get out there!

. . .Hello. . .Anyone have good info regarding motels / eateries / stores in Mulege? Know that Serinidad & airstrip are MOSTLY functional but how about Javier's hotel / restaurant? What about The Hacienda & how is Alfonso? (Phone # for the Hacienda???) How is the Tienda next to the town square??? Planning a trip middle of October & good info would be appreciated. . .Thanks. . .

mostly business as usual with a dash of dust

I think all motels/hotels are in operation again except the Hacienda...might be a teardown ...caved-in roofs and balconies. All stores back up with good inventory. Restaurants are good to go as well.

When you get into the tide slicks and drift lines, there is a lot of stuff floating out there. Some of it holds dorado, some does not. It is typically that way after a hurricane, as you come up on some really hot looking floating junk islands, you are sure that there is a ton of dorado hiding there, but because there is so much stuff out in the deep, there may or may not be fish. Temps are still a little screwed up so you have to look at the Terrafin charts and look for the chlorophyll areas to really find the fish. A little tough but there are some fish out there. Look for sailfish and Marlin when things cool off a little bit more. If you are fishing with pangueros, you may have a challenge as the fish are a little more spread and further out than they like right now but that could change almost daily as we are hitting the trasition points.
