Al, you've obviously never had a warm Pacifico.
BLEEECH !!!!!
It's the main reason I prefer Tecate. If the ice fails at the end of a long fishing day or a remote camp site, Tecate still tastes good.
Pacifico? Even warm Budweiser would taste better........

Tecate...Haven't given it much of a try. I think it was on a Sun trips on Mexicana air, some 20 years ago. Will have to try it again.
As for Pacifico I am drinking at room temp now. Of coarse it is only 70 Degree out now and that is about my limit. I drink most dark beer at 70+-.

best place to get lobster?????
F.O.B. (fresh off the boat)
I find if you drive down on the sand and offer help pulling their panga out with your truck,( they don't have to go start their truck) immediately
GIVE the boys a
COLDY( I bring a spare 12er of bud for this purpous) before any desire for lobster is shown...done deal!(and a spanish lesson)
I am very respectful of their efforts and like to give them money for lobster..money = gas = more langui manana..
I love to have a coldy and pull the panga nomatter what,great way to make a friend

Lobster trading ...???
Shari ...
The way I understand it is that a fisherman can not sell Lobsters but he can give them away ... that is how they
get them to their parents ... as gifts.
When I stop bt BAHIA TORTUGAS ... the fishermen have
lobsters for me as gifts  ...
what a bunch of nice guys. 
just happens that when people are that nice to me ...
I give them all of the T- shirts that they want.
PUNTA EUGENIA is the same way ...
gifts are ok ....
trading is not ...
In 1993 I came home with 50 Lobsters in my IGLOO icechest.
 
and I even had the proper paperwork
to get thru the checkpoints.
I ate well that winter.

Fish in TS...

Next time you're in TS and looking to buy fresh fish, you can stop in @ the little pink house about 1/2 block or so uphill from the "La Paloma" ice
cream place on Calle Militar. No sign on the building, but it's all freshly caught that day by the same guys who launch their boats from Punta Lobos
that same morning. Mmmmm fish tacos!

I'm really glad this was useful info...lobster season depends where you are...here in Asuncion it runs from October 1 till the end of February. The
fishermen get 12 lobsters a MONTH for their famlies to eat, which they may give to you if you're nice, but remember their family won't be eating those
lobster then. Once in awhile the vigilancia ( coop's fish cops) give away lobsters that have the legs chewed off or bites out of them etc. but ya have
to eat them then and there and not transport them anywhere. JUst to put things in perspective for ya'll.

Buying lobsters. Looks like you need a lawyer to get a lobster or two? I'm
losing my taste for 'em(lobsters). Lawyers aren't edible unless you have strange tastes.

It's easy to buy em from the fish plants on the coast and they're cooked and frozen and nicely wrapped up.

This thread has been GREAT!
...especially since the "Please Give Me Some Lobster Buying Guidance" and "I Am Stupid And Do Not Understand Fairness and Courtesy" threads were so
active.
Man, I'd forgotten how much I love unsolicited advice. Which reminds me, it is considered rude to punch Mexicans in the face.

Zaggin
zaggin. I agree. there is no need to treat people like they have no respect for the land or the laws, or customs without knowing personally how you
and/or others treat the locals, or the local lobsters. I think it best to maybe refrain from buying lobsters all together, and just hunt for your
own! I'll post a pic of my "Tried and True" method of Bug hunting that I have used for years off the Southern California Coast, and recently in Baja
(Last August) had HUGE success pulling in giant bugs off the mid-pacific bite. Feel free to use my methods. Also, sometimes its just easier to take
a few from the local traps (I like to leave a beer there, too).

That is actually a great idea...
and honestly, what would a Baja fisherman rather see in his trap: A few measly bugs or a sixer of ice cold Tecate?

a sixer? Why leave a full sixer (in this case symbolic of "full-price" by sheri's standards) when I am doing all the work?

OH NO ! Say it Ain't so, Joe.
I just found out on another thread that I couldn't claim to be a GOOD resident in Baja (per Oxxo) because I have Illegally used a
Marine VHF radio for communications and NOW I find out that I have purchased Lobster (and Shrimp, for that matter) Illegally in the past. Not only
that, I remember buying Tortouva from Mexican Fishermen on more than one occasion. Gazooks ! I am doomed ! If I were Catholic, I would run to church
and confess.
If only I can be saved from Damnation, I will resolve to never again purchase Lobster or Camarones on the sly. Tortouva, however, is another matter.
I'll take my chances with Diablo for some of that.

While you teach these people to hunt lobster, pls let them know what the fine is for taking them as well.

In Florida and other US waters, recreational divers are not allowed to use anything but their hands and a non-hooked stick. No nets, hoops or hooks.
Gotta give the little buggers a chance !! Wonder where you are 'matic' ?

The best way I ever Caught the bugs.
On a surfing trip to Punta San Jose around 1997, via the road thru the foothills west of Santo Tomas. We stopped at a Pacifico store ( NORTH OF SANTO
TOMAS) and bought several cases of 40 oz whales. Soooo next day I walked down to the beach/boat ramp drinking a large beer. Two fishermen had just
returned from the sea. Old man and his son. No! Old man and his grandson. He spies my 40ozer. I spy his 14" bugs. He offers a trade 32 ozs of
Pacifico for two honkin spinies. Best I ever cooked/tasted/ate. He chugged
the 32oz left without a breath. The grandson was crushed. Opened my backpack and offered the 20 something young man a 40 of his own.
