How's the fishing in Mulege?

Without being down there since 2008, I'd say everything with the exception of the fishing is "Super-Duper". The fishing? If you're using gill nets you might catch a few as long as your net is small mesh.

fishingfool...a good fisherman makes his own luck......

and it's a partridge in a 'pear' tree, rookie.

Poker at Ana's has already begun with the first game originated by non other than River Wendy.


The best fishing is right there at Ana's poker room.






hgtfool: visit with nomad BajaBlanca...she needs some t.p.


Some angling directions: go north, young man...go north, then east, then south. Seek and ye shall find....somewhere way, way out there...)

Roger,

What idiot would write PAIR and not pear tree.

OKAY you got me, I am still a little new at this.

Are you down there? Let's get the lines wet and our whistle.

See ya in a few.

Scott, I thought it was cute...pair, pear..who cares?

An old amigo, a Nomad... once gave me a Xmas card along with a dead tree branch stuck in a Folger's can full of sand.. with an 12ga. shotgun shell hanging from one of the branches.

"Hmm..kind of a strange gift, but that's 'aquaholic' for you.." I thought.

Then I read the card:

la-la-la "....And a cartridge in a bare tree....."

hah...now THAT made me smile from ear to ear. (that's an old prank played on hunting friends from WAY back...and I loved it.)

We are trying to get to Baja as soon as possible...but I need one of those Star Trek transporters..

.....Hey!!...Beam me up, Scotty!

We will fish, play poker, and wet whistles...and stay away from rum....

And don't sweat the bad catch reports coming out of Mulege. Fishing is fishing...and catching is something else entirely.

Hasta pronto, amigo.

Good report, Hook...and some decent dorado. I was thinking of stink-potting over that way for some memory jogging and fishing, maybe even some catching. I'll keep an eye on the horizon for bird action...and that lone frigate dive-bombing the big bull.

.........just have to get to Baja first!

Hey Scott...we can pull your Triumph behind as the chase boat.

Thanks for the report, HOOK. I wish those tuna would come over to our side of the SOC. Sounds like a great season. Who says the SOC is done, still pretty good IMHO. Good luck on Tuesday. I'll pay the shipping on some of that sashimi, yummy.

Keeping my fingers crossed on the dorado. They usually are gone by the 2nd week in November. But that's fishing.

Roger, My boat is always up for a challenge.

'cartridge in a bare tree' great stuff.

How was the hunting season up north?

Shot this guy at 56 yards, fun hunt. Thought you might like this one.

Loreto Report

We've had quite a few Mulege anglers here this week...today's amigos Randy & Jim limited out on nice yellowtail...one over 21 lbs. ....they told me they came here while they are waiting for Pompano's return to fleece him at poker! a couple of fun guys for sure

THAT'S A REALLY NICE MULEY BUCK, SCOTT...and a 'high' rack. Congratulations on what looks..and sounds..like a great stalk. That's what makes hunting so worthwhile.

56 yards? Hmm..was he taking a siesta?...or does Idaho have a lance season?

Hunting season at my Up North place are always great..but then, we've always paid proper homage to Diana, Goddess of the Hunt...or Zulema ..or whoever is at hand. If you want a long, boring report some recent times in the field...read this:

Ducks, geese, & birds were outstanding this year, plus I harvested enough venison (1 muley, 1 whitetail, 1 antelope, 1 elk, & 1 oddball angus on the centerline (collateral damage)....to keep us in jerky, steaks, and chops thru this Great Depression.



Bet you never knew about our ND high plains elk? Rolling wooded hills near Valhalla...Norsk Heaven. Like you, I got up close & personal with this young bull, too..about 100 yards, iron sights, .264 Win. magnum.

On big muleys and elk, I ranged out to Montana's Missouri Breaks & Judith Mts...but that's quite different, with some VERY long-distance shooting.

For those opon range hunts, I shoot my own reloads... using bullets made from rock salt that will preserve the meat until I can hoof it out to the carcass.

Finest kind of steaks...tender!

I hope to bug out from Tecate soon....hope you have a fine and safe trip...Hasta pronto en Mulege, amigos. We WILL find those Mulege fish...and pay for the fuel with Jim's poker losses.

Open range shooting? Just got a 338 that will reach out and ring their bell.
