Somebody ought to tell those chinese geezers about viagra. But after seeing some
of those chinese hags, maybe rat poison would be more merciful.

Jim...My reason for participating in this thread is to keep my butt out of trouble with Lobster or Camaron (and Tortouva).
There are so many things to do and enjoy in Baja, there is no reason to cross the line.
I think it has to do with gringos, after the best deal sometimes spelled "steal a deal". it is a culture thing that women are at the forefront. I want
the best deal, but not interested in taking advantage of fishermen. Everyone that has indicated they have, needs to stay in the US or get a life.
I believe what is inside of most of us is good, and that is who we really want to be.

I guess I'll just go back to taking buckets of abalone since this seems to cause such a stir with some of the residents. The small ones are the best,
hands down.

Shari,
Your point of this post is received and appreciated. I didn’t mean to steer the subject off-topic but I’m blown away when a Nomad admits to poaching
(US waters or otherwise). Fellow nomads should take your knowledge to heart. I’d hate to see someone floating up the beach with a spear gun through
their throat.
I’ve never been to Bahia Asuncion. How is it during summer? I haven’t had a good lobster in a long time.
Al,
I've never been accused of standing on sanctimonious ground before, but it doesn't offend me. And, yes I'm having fun, thanks! Maybe I should insert
more smilies -

Bajadog, I hope you understand my intent is not to offend.
I write to get your attention. I find it is usually, the only way to get people to think instead of being self assured They are right. I often find
myself in the same boat, so to speak.

Bajamatic...
Is poaching abalone illegal in Baja? I know taking shellfish is illegal but I don't think abalone is considered a shellfish. A friend of mine who
has lived in Baja forever told me the locals actually LIKE it when gringos dive for abs because the abalone population is out of hand down there and
the government is doing little if NOTHING to control it.
That's Mexico for ya!

Zag.. two things worry me about your post.
1)poaching..........Means to do something illegal
2)I don't think abalone is considered a shellfish....I have had to remove the"shell" from all that I have cleaned.
I am not sure, but would bet it is illegal.

Abalone.....More controlled than lobster. the season for the fishermen is only three months.
Is this for real, are you smoking something. or did you mis the smileys?

Me No Poacher
I'm not too worried about getting a speargun through the head or heart since I've never engaged in Poaching. I suppose I have (unknowingly of course)
purchased from Mexican Poachers. Since I ALWAYS assume the best, I have believed that those Mexicans approaching me with Sea Food for sale are
completely on the Up and Up. NOW I find out that may not be true. Another belief shattered.
Speaking of purchasing Lobster, I had a friend in Gonzaga years ago (now deceased) who would fly over to the Pacific Coast on his way back home and
load up on Lobster. On one occasion, when he checked in with Customs at Calexico, he had 48 Lobster in Ice Chests in the back seat. U.S. Customs
seized the Lobster and seized his airplane. After paying the required fines, he did get the plane back, but not the Lobster, of course. That cured
him of bringing Lobster back, although he'd still buy it for consumption in Baja.

that is precisely where the old saying comes from. You know, "Cops always have the best shellfish."

Mr Bill
Years ago I had a civilian, Police Garage foreman, working for me and he always had lobster, in San Diego, for sale at a good price.
He also had a plane in which he smuggled hundreds of bugs out of Baja for years and always got away with it.
One day two huge Mexican guys in fedora's and heavy coats knocked on his door. "You don't know us, but we know you so if you wish to visit Baja come
right ahead. But if you wish to return to the States with your aeroplane we strongly suggest that you not purchase any 'bugs' because we will be
waiting for you."
Suddenly! No more bugs for sale!--In fact he never flew his plane south of the border again.
Oh! Yes, I would guess that the Customs guys had one heck of a feast after the story you told.
My smidgen of a claim to fame is that I have had so many really good friends. By Bernie Swaim December 2007

Feasting Law Enforcement Officers
I'm sure they did have a big feast. Nobody ever said Cops were Stupid. Other things, maybe.
Years ago, in L.A. or [insert city], the joke was that, after a burglary or robbery when someone said "Call the Cops", the answer was "They've already
been here."

In Pescadero's surf ghetto (the area where the old Gypsy's use to be), fishermen come around on Friday's selling camarones, dorado, and lobster.
Pound tail for $15.00. Don't know where they are from but they always have lobster.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Haven't had much experience with slighting fisherman. As a fisherman I've been
slighted.

In these parts, abalone season is only a month and they really take care of their abalone beds...if you are caught with abalone, it is a more serious
crime than having drugs.
