MULEGE FISHING DERBY - FRIDAY, MARCH 20TH
ANA'S CAFE AT SANTISPAC - 15 MILES SOUTH OF MULEGE
WELL, HERE IT IS..THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!
Another fun fishing derby and dance at Ana's Cafe on Santispac Beach south of Mulege. I have been asked to post this notice on nomads and am happy to
do so.
The 2009 Pinto Derby
REGISTER AT ANA'S CAFE, SANTISPAC BEFORE FRIDAY, MARCH 20TH
This is a strictly amatuer event...not serious at all, just good old Baja Fun! You don't need to know anything about fishing or
catching. Just go out and drop a jig on some rocks, and bring your prize to Ana's around 1:30 to register it for a prize. A great fish dinner will
follow. Simple.
.
.
History of the Derby. A couple of us dreamed this contest up one lazy afternoon a few years back when Ray's Place was still on the beach. Around
2003, I think? Some new arrivals wanted to fish for thier own dinners and asked what was easy to catch and good to eat? So..the Pinto Derby was
born. It was held at Ray's until the bar burned 2 years later, then once at the Hacienda, and then moved to a great location: Ana's Cafe at
Santispac. Like a wandering pinto the Derby makes the rounds of good rockpiles.
The Derby is a good just-for-fun contest that started out with a bang and has remained that way. I think mainly because it is a
great..and easy... family event that anyone and everyone can participate in..no matter your skill as an angler. Heck, even the best pinto rockpiles
will be pointed out in detail...and the best way to get one or two. There is no secret to catching nice pintos! You are welcome to follow one or two
of us who will gladly point the way. Also check the map below for some of the best general areas. So easy even a caveman can do it.
Stay legal, with licenses and limits..have fun!
FRIDAY, MARCH 20TH
.
.
The Pinto Derby has been at Ana's Cafe now for 3 years..which is truly a great beach cafe in the old Baja tradition. Charming and friendly...everyone
feels at home here.
Hey...Russ, Zulema, and the crew are there to serve you good humor and spirits, too!!
Hmm..say, Zulema, are those my socks in there?
.
.
Come join us and have a good time! FRIDAY, MARCH 20th
Register at Ana's Cafe, Santispac as soon as you can...prior to the Derby. Zulema needs to know how many beers to chill and Russ would like a good
estimate on mouths to feed.
Derby is Friday, March 20th. Good tides at Mulege ramp for dawn launch...take out by noon would be best.

REGISTER AT ANA'S CAFE, SANTISPAC BEFORE FRIDAY, MARCH 20TH
Note: the fish below is NOT a pinto, SO DON'T TRY TO WEIGH IN ONE OF THESE.

Well, you certainly know how to sell a tournament, Roger. Who needs the Corona Girls when Mulege has their Pinto Gal?
Question: are pinto bass the same thing as the gold-spotted bass? The ones with the gold spots from the lateral line down towards the belly?

Can't be; when Skeet was that age, power had not been invented yet.
And he would have hand-lined that monster !!

BTW, no offense intended towards Skeet; he knows he's old.
If I ever reach his age, I will he happy to accept some grief about my age.
My response will be, "You should only be lucky enough to live as long."
Check out Bernie; happy as a teenager all over again ! Gotta love it !
Carry on, Skeet !!

A young whippersnapper is the opposite of an Old Curmudgeon.

I have already achieved both of those milestones (Whippersnapper and Curmudgeon). Enjoyed the heck out of each stage. The third stage, Daisypusher, I
am not looking forward to, but then there is nothing I can do to prevent it.
In the mean time, I will be stalking Pinto Bass and partying with Zulema next Friday.

Or that Spencer Tracy looks like Skeet ?
