Tom,
If you'll respectfully allow me to say so, you're being overly sensitive to the posts. I don't think anyone is critical of your survey. They're
(we're) just providing friendly suggestions, is all. It's fine the way it is, though.

Jeez! We can talk circles around this issue, throw in all the "buzz words" you want, bottom line, the fishing in the Sea of Cortez is in the process
of collapse.

areas need to be focused on and technique needs to be focused on.
well for me its better than it was ten years ago...I have been using different techniques than I did ten years ago and I have gotten better at using
these techniques.
same goes for my sport captains, they have become more skilled at what they do.
sportfishing clientele has changed considerably along with it their techniques have changed, and they along with the captains have become more skilled
at catching fish.
we've learned more about fish behaviour and seasons and have been able to pass this knowledge to clients so that they travel during the optimum times,
focus on the best technique for their area of fishing and time of year they're fishing...etc.
this poll is too general.
this general question can be asked with decent results to commercial fishermen who fish in the same location as they did ten years ago, and with the
same techniques. then the results would actually be useful. but your heart is in the right place by asking. |
Hey Pam... when I saw this post and voted, I read it to ask "Is fishing better or worse in the Cortez... COMPARED to the Pacific" LOL... after I
voted, I then read the replies and realized he was asking better or worse than another TIME, no another PLACE! LOL
Yes, if it is compared to another time, than when?
Perhaps when Ray Cannon was having a good time staging the famous Giant Snook shot in the Rio Santa Rosalia de Mulege!

Tom,
You have asked a very good question. One that has great significance to many on this site. There are many on this site who see the immenant demise of
something that they love. It is understandable that feelings would run high when some deny the very things that they read about and see with their own
eyes.
If you and I were sitting at a bar and you asked me this question if I had a good day on the water, saw even half the fish Skeet describes, caught a
dandy myself I would buy a round and say it was the best fishing ever.
This reminds me of sitting over a fairly good bottle of red one evening with a friend and asking him the question "what is the finest bottle of wine
you have ever had?" His response "the one sitting in front of me at the moment" He said it with all sincerity.
I hope that we can all get on the same page as Osprey suggests. To those who think that the Sea of Cortez is an endless and infinite resource that
cannot be destroyed would see that those who want to protect it are doing no harm to you and may even be doing some good.

Well, there is no doubt that Ray had a GIANT influence on bringing sportfishermen to Baja... Heck, his book popularized the pet name 'Sea of Cortez'
for the Gulf of California so well... most of us use it now!
