Looking for Guide/Panguero Recco: Mulege, Isla San Marcos, or Rosalia

corazondeloso - 3-10-2016 at 09:25 AM

Hey There. First timer here looking for some local fish dope for my trip starting next Mon heading back up the Baja from Todos Santos. I called a local fishing buddy in SD and he strongly suggested I try out this board as he said folks are usually happy to help out a newbie.

I'm looking to fish on Tue, 3/15 or Wed 3/16 as I head up. Tons of flexibility, and if worse comes to worse, I'll likely fish out of San Quintin, but I'd really like to try a new area should weather/fish conditions permit, and save my money as SQ is getting ridiculously expensive.

Any help with a name/number/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, fellas.

If you're looking for the best then call:

In Mulege: Alex Bukovecz, he has won first place on several tournaments over the past couple of years, speaks english and is really nice company, his cell number is 011-521-615-104-3979 if dialing from US, if dialing in Mexico dial without 011-521, you may need to dial 001 if using a US phone, he also stocks fresh scallops, shrimp and lobster during season:

Also you may try Roman Murillo, just past the speed bump after the bridge on your way south from Mulege: 011-25-615-104-6584 use same suggestions when dialing.

Welcome to Nomad Aaron!

I am thinking Pescador might know as he lives in that region.. but other Nomads are too... Just hope they see this question soon enough for you. The small town of San Bruno may be a place to seek a guide?

Also an excellent guide in San Lucas pueblito named Fransisco.... don't have last name or phone, but drive the main asphalt street into the town and about 4 or 5 streets in on the far right corner you'll see his 'boat-yard' with several boats and mechanic spot set up. Not only the best in the area for fishing guide, but excellent mechanic too, both boats and vehicles. Speaks fluent English.

Rip some lips for me too, expect a fishing report when you do! :coolup:

I recall that there were recent posts here about a much-liked panguero in Mulege by the name of Marco (?) who had recently returned from La Paz, but now I cannot find the posts.

That would be Mateo in Mulege:

I fished alongside Mateo out of Mulege 14 years ago and he is a good fisherman.

BigBearRider - 3-10-2016 at 01:08 PM

Thank you. No wonder my searches for Marco netted nothing useful...

I see both Mateo and Alex almost every day. U2U me for more info. Both good choices.

Gracias, Gulliver. I knew a Mulegéño would come through!

Gulliver - 3-10-2016 at 02:30 PM

Funny though. Mateo is my neighbor and Alex goes motorcycle riding with us in the mountains. The one that doesn't get the business will whack me over the head for sure!

Small community.

BigBearRider - 3-10-2016 at 03:26 PM

Does Mateo still not have a boat?

Bob and Susan - 3-10-2016 at 03:39 PM

I believe he has the use of a boat. I don't know the details.

corazondeloso - 3-10-2016 at 09:31 PM

Fellas..this is great intel...exactly what I was looking for. Now I just have to give these guys a call and check availability/conditions. I'll definitely keep you posted.

Mateo is available in Mulege, ask for him at the Jungle Bar on the South side of the rio or u2u me for more info.....

In San Bruno, the best guide by far is Rigo Ojeda who is the most knowledgeable and competent guide in the area. If you want to fish out of Mulege then go with Alejandro as he knows that area better, but San Marcos, Tortuga, Santa Rosalia area is hands down to Rigo Ojeda. His cell is 615-104-9850. He also has a fully stocked tackle shop and builds custom rods.

I personally know Alex, Bucko. very well, for many years, for all good reasons he is the best. If you talk to him tell him that Pablo recommended him.

I assume the Alejandro you are referring to is Alex Buckovecz?

Yes his real name is Alejandro. He goes by Alex because it is easier to pronounce and remember for the Norteamericanos.

Got it. Thanks.

My son is almost three years old. His name is also Alexander. He has a friend near Mulege whose name is Alejandro. Alexander calls him "Hawandro." When we were driving back from Mammoth last weekend he said he wanted to go to Hawandro's house in Mexico.

That is great, Big Bear Rider. I like the whole Buckovecz family. They are really wonderful people.
