No spearfishing in Loreto?
The dear wife and I were having dinner at Cafe Milano (La Paz) and struck up a conversation with an Italian couple. Well, most of the talking was by
Alix, because I don't speak Italian. The fellow said they had come to La Paz seven times over the years (from Rome) and he was a spearfisher.
He said they liked Loreto, but he wasn't allowed to spearfish in Loreto. Is that correct? A marine park rule, perhaps? I'll beg forgiveness in
advance if this has already been covered.
As a Cafe Milano plug, the couple also said the food at Cafe Milano was better than they get in Rome!

How about electric blasting caps? Are they OK?

Yeah, the spearfishing tends to interfere with the commercial netting during the YT spawns.

Is spearfishing allowed in BOLA? I remember being stopped
while fishing from our boat by a couple of guys in a Zodiac and questioned about if we had disembarked to any of the islands. They said that they were
with the "park service" They were not interested in our fish or fishing license.

Last I heard spearfishing was OK while snorkeling but not with tanks.

no you can't do it in the park at all and the new managament plan will also prohibit it. This was an issue that the people were dead set against it
was a unanimous vote

When we are not having deliveries some tourists like to go and try spearing. Away they go and return with a couple of little fish usually telling me
that they saw big ones but when they(fish) saw the spear the fish high tailed out of there.
I just laugh. These fish get big by not getting speared. Between the mexican pangas fishing with houkas and the tourists trying to blast a fish the
fish usually win! Few fish and so much time!

I'd like to go an one of those hooka panga boats. Bring a lot of beer and food. Sometimes it is hard to light the hooka when you are trolling fast.
