Russ - 4-6-2020 at 06:32 AM

The Camping Beach, Restaurant and boat ramp closed at least thru Easter. Maybe closed longer.

Meany - 4-6-2020 at 07:32 AM

WoW!! Sounds like a quiet Easter around there? Will give the fish a break. Russ stay safe and Healthy down there.

BajaBlanca - 4-6-2020 at 08:46 AM

Nice to hear from you, Russ. How many people are in Chivato besides you?

Russ - 4-6-2020 at 09:30 AM

Quite a few folks here now and most feel safer here than in any populated area. Most if not all events have been canceled. I'm not aware of any virus cases in Santa Rosalia or Mulege and can only hope it stays that way. Be safe all enjoy a quiet Easter.
Meany, the pongeros are still out with nets taking what's left of our inshore fishery. We had one day last week where the bait was going off and the pelicans were eating well but it's been dead since except for 4 sardine boats that worked over the Mulege area for 3 days. Icy calm here this morning and cloudy.

ALL beaches closed until APRIL 30

:fire:

Dam that is sad. It would be nice if they could leave the Bay alone for a while. Even in these times I guess it will not happen. :fire:

Stay well, Russ! :light:

Hey Russ and Steve, I posted in another thread about the beach closures, specifically PC, then found your post Russ. Seems like a good spot to post these pictures! The two Cabrillas are over at the abandoned mine on the peninsula. We camped over there for 3 nights.
The pargo is from out in front of your place Russ.

Unfortunately we are headed back north of the border in a couple days. No kayaks, dirt bikes, side by sides allowed down here. May as well go home and shoot ground squirrels from the deck!

Oh yeah, hi Steve!

Hola Douglas&TWFP. Nice Fish Pam. Love the new Kayaks. I'd stay were you are. Safer than trying to get Home. Wait tell May. Walk alot. Were a Mask. I think I left some in a box there. Be safe and stay in touch. Meany Me. PS. Boy TWFP sure has got the fishing down...

DouglasP - 4-8-2020 at 02:31 AM

Hey Steve, yeah she is a quick learner!

Here is a copy and paste from an email regarding the restrictions.

Good morning everyone, Fidel Gonzalez From Proteccion Civil met with some us here in Chivato and the message was, we are to stay inside our homes not to go out not even for a walk, no fishing, no kayaking, when you go to the market practice social distance and only one family member can go inside the market, if anyone needs to get their prescription fill up at Diegos Pharmacy in Mulege send me an e-mail and I will call Fidel from Proteccion Civil to have Diego prepare the prescription before you go pick it up or you can go to Santa Rosalia and get it at any pharmacy, if anyone has any of the symptoms of the virus we are to call Fidel and they will come to us instead of us going to the hospital,
The Quarantine is until April 30,
this was pretty much the message we got from Proteccion Civil (Civil Protection).
Rico

Thinking Idaho is best for now. Sucks, but whatever.
P.S. You did leave a box of n95 respirators, probably 25 of them. I'm gonna be rich when I get back up north! 😆

Meany - 4-8-2020 at 07:35 AM

Buenos Diaz Sr DouglasP. Well you mite be right on Idaho?? But you will be doing the same thing up there as you would be doing in Chivato. I'm glad to here that the Protection Civil has a program going. To bad the USA Fed's didn't have one going back in December?? Government? :fire:

. I'm glad you found the mask. There like Gold up here. And should be worn at all times. Very Important. Can you give Sr. Russ a couple?? Thanks and Safe trip and let us know now you two are doing. :bounce:

I feel like Lencho. walking and being outside is the best for the health of a person and there mental out look. And it will be a lot warmer in Chivato which I believe is a Plus. Be Safe.

DouglasP - 4-8-2020 at 07:45 AM

Yeah I will hit Russ up.
I completely agree about outside and activity. One reason for the decision to head north. We will be able to go for walks and I will be able to ride my dirt Bike. They are being a bit more heavy handed down here, IMHO.
We will keep you posted.

DouglasP - 4-8-2020 at 07:51 AM

Oh yeah, here's a link to a vid of Pam bringing the big broom tail up.
F bomb towards the end so be advised! Hope the link works.

Fish or the wife? 😁

Meany - 4-8-2020 at 08:19 AM

WOW! WOW !!WOW!! Great Video Douglas. Boy the TWFP. is truly having fun with that fish. I think she is Hooked. Boy those new Hobie's are a great fishing Kayak. :bounce:

PamelaP - 4-8-2020 at 09:19 AM

Hey Meany!
Yes, I am becoming a great fisher-women!
It helps to have a great guide who finds the fish, leads you to them and provides the correct set-up to catch them!
It is fun!
We do miss walking on the beach and in the desert so heading North to get more physical activity back in our lives!
We have enough property and in the county that we can easily be outside while not nearing another human. And the whistle pigs (AKA Idaho for Ground Squires) and probably over running our pasture, we need to limit their numbers! And before anyone complains about killing them, they carry flees that have the Plague, fact; which can be passed to pets and therefore humans. And the dead ones feed other wild life, circle of life!
Oh ya, we do it with pellet guns and one is .22 gran.

Hola PamelaP. Yes I've seen a picture of your deck and it's perfect for shooting from. I bet Russ would like to shot from there as long as he didn't put his finger in the way. :biggrin:

. Have a safe trip up there are you driving or fly?? Be safe.

The cattle ranchers in Fillmore wanted them dead because cattle would break legs stepping in their burrow holes. Some meadows had literally hundreds. Not to mention they can carry bubonic plague, even the ones on the coastal bluffs here in North SD county. A .222 makes sure there are no wounded ones, one shot, one kill. There's a reason they're called "varmint rifles."

When I was a teenager a Wyoming rancher would give us each a case (12 boxes of 50 rounds) of .22 rounds due to cattle injuries in their burrows. Back then we called 'em "pop-guts" (a play on "pot-guts").

Where did you live in Wyoming?

Was living in Salt Lake City at the time, did the plinking in SW Wildoming, just up outa Echo Canyon.

Another fun ground squirrel story: A former owner of Ray's Tavern in Green River UT always had a dream of retiring and running a fishing guide service on Lake Bowell. Then along came the Navajo coal fired power plant down by Page, AZ and the byproduct was acid rain, so the big stripers turned into little toothpicks and the fishery crashed, just about the time he was ready to cut loose.

So, being the dreamer/schemer he was, he decided to try another kind of fishing; for ground squirrels or prairie dogs which are both very abundant in that desert area. He talked about setting up his boat with a cooler of pop/beer/lunch, taking out 'fishermen' on the desert to a well-stocked 'squirrel-ry', setting up poles with slip-nooses on the lines and putting the nooses around the burrow mouths. The intrepid hunters would kick back under the Bimini top sipping suds, and when the Li'l beggars would rise up, YANK! FISH ON !!!!

Never did say what he'd do with the rascals. :biggrin:

I was in Cokeville, Afton, and Kemmerer area. Fished Hobble Creek, Lake Alice, Ham's Fork, and Smith's Fork. Drove up to Tri-Basin Divide and took it all the way to Alpine, fishing the Greys and the Little Greys rivers. The Little Grey's was epic fishing for Snake River Cutthroats. I probably C&R'd 50 trout in about 3 hours on the Little Greys, from dinks to monsters. Almost every drift of the fly got hit.
