Punta Chivato area report
More folks out fishing the last few days. They're going to areas North & South and about half are getting dorado. El Famoso got a 45lb+ yesterday
Seiners came in in force yesterday. I see at least 10 but there are probably more inside the bay. I friend called Pesca and they said they'd put a
team together and check them out. Sure! Maņana
Photos taken with the 1000mm max zoom on the Nikon P510. Probably 7 miles away.

Check them out for what Russ?
Rob
Anyone can catch fish in a boat but only \"El Pescador Grande\" can get them from the beach.
I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.

Russ...some things never change.
Here is Santispac , Bay of Conception...in the late 50's.
Santispac again...1975
A Guaymas shrimper and me in my old 1964 16ft Lund
Even then, protesting the illegal shrimping going on in the Bay was ..useless. We saw some by-catches that were unbelievably wasteful.
Unfortunately, nothing has changed much since the first photo. No enforcement of the law. The same as happens in the USA.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

I don't know. What ever can be trumped up to stop them from netting the mouth of Bahia Concepcion. This is the largest bay SOC has, on this side
anyway and it deserves some protection. I believe there are some laws that are on the books to protect the bay but I don't have the facts. Just the
words of local fishermen and the people from the fisheries. I could go on & on about how I feel about the rape going on here but why? I'd just get
a bunch of trolls telling me I'm an idiot. Best we can do is call officials and see if they respond.... No response yet.
It was just reported that there are 11 whale sharks in a small area. There have been recent reports of as many as 22. Majestic critters!

Russ, Thanks for keeping us posted. Evidently, as long as the pelagics return each year, the absence of resident fish doesn't register.

well, a real fishing report ! looks like the fish are coming in, slowly but surely.
nothing to report in la bocana, yet 
We had some Mexican marine biologists here last year who told us that those shrimp boats are 100% legal. What Mexico is thinking of doing is buying
back their licenses. They told us that the boats can come right up to shoreline, it is allowed, contrary to popular belief.

A few more fishermen out today after winds the last two days. But the wind is picking up now. It looked bumpy this morning when it was calm.
Free beach camping. NO services but you could make arrangements at the Hotelito/Chibatos restaurant to accommodate your needs.
