Mulege River Fishing

Pompano - 2-22-2010 at 08:38 PM

What do you do when it's too windy to fish on the Sea of Cortez (SOC)? Easy.. you fish where you can.



We drove into town at dawn to fish a couple mornings with light gear on the banks of the river in Mulege. One is reminded of Hurricane Jimena by the riverfront remnants of it's fury.








"It's her valentine's day present"







You get to try out all those plugs and spoons in your tackle box..you know, the ones you have never used before. Bring some lunch, a few cold ones, and relax along the banks.



Heck, you might even catch something...so you can release it.

"Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Push me in the river, dip me in the water"

The river is a magical place, damaged or no.

Flippin' hurricanes aside-- as the saying goes, there's "No Bad Days in Mulege!"

Gosh, I love this place. Thanks for the early-morning pictures, Pompy.

See, the problem with shore fishing is that you need no deckhand.

Is that Miguel with the blue tackle box?

Mulegena, you are surely right. Mulege could be renamed to...The River Runs Through It. Always a delight..well, until it floods! Then,sorry to say, all hell breaks loose.

Hook, deckhands are definetely optional on the riverfront. And that is indeed the famous Miguel of Mulege..and some muttering coming from his tackle box.

Was that a spotted bay bass Pomp? No snook around? How does the flushing action impact the fishery? Enquiring minds want to know:?:
