What to bring to San Pablo or other remote fish camps
When you uplan to visit a remote fish camp it is always important to bring peace offerings as you can be sure they will spoil you with whatever they
have on hand. Apart from the mandatory cold cerveza, it is wise to bring tortillas, mayonaise, salsa casera, maybe some chocolate treats, soda, and if
you really wanna be a big hit....a bottle of Coralejo...these guys had like a quarter inch left in their bottle and offered it to the gringo
invaders....love that mexican hospitality!

One thing that is hard for them keep and always hard to get is fruit and vegies. the other thing is personal hygeine items. the fish buyers charge
them very high prices to bring them fishing supplies, flour, rice and beans also. Americans bring them way to much clothes or the wrong clothes for
the most part.

Remote Fish Camps
I have never met a mexican in a fish camp that didn't need an extra T-shirt.  One for the kids would really be a bonus. 
They usually pick up a few on their trips to Ensenada  when they are between seasons.

Take these to the camp..
Money, booze, cigars, Camels, .22 long rifle ammo, sporting women, and a deck of cards. You can mix up this order, but I have found over the years in
various multinational fish camps that it doesn't much matter. If in Baja.. Spanish copy of "Pompano's Believable Alibis" comes in handy.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

22 long rifle can get you in a mess of trouble if your caught. i was detained for hours one time while the feds took my truck apart looking for a
pistol. leave them at home. hard candy is a hit with the kids.
