Hook - pls tell Jim i said hi. He'll remember me and also Keith O. from the flyin' sams; we used to call him on the way in to mulege passing over his
place.
He had us stop in once a year before he quit flying. Spectacular home! His ham set up most impressive.
Ask him if he knows Gene [LA roofing contractor] with the Piper Navajo who has the place next to the boat ramp along the old east/west runway.
He might let you stay there and he may be fishing the tourney. He has a local mexican who keeps the place up for him and opens it for guests if he's
not there.

was:
10-12.9 lb 10
13-15.9 lb 8
16-18.9 lb 9
19-21.9 lb 5
22-24.9 lb 4

Thank you, La Tortuga, for the results.
I hope you guys/gals keep them so some comparisons can be made from year to year.

Punta Chivato tournament kicked off at 8 this morning. Launch ramp had a pretty good surge but no troubles were reported. So far the reports I've had
are most boats are into the dorado but not a lot of over 20 # bulls. I have heard about 4 or 5 though but only a few boats are reporting their
catches. After prepping the tin boat yesterday the surge got big and by this morning It was more than I'd feel comfortable launching in. The high tide
is suppose to be in just about the time the boats return this afternoon around 3 or 4 pm.
Here's a few boats at the start.

Sunrise?? I don't know if I can get up and out of my AC'd casita that early
Tonight I'm test driving the new AC unit to see if it can cool the two rooms. More on that on another station.
I have a bit of trouble going to gatherings but I did go over to where the Awards Dinner is tonight. The bar was set up and the folks that own the
roast chicken restaurant north of Mulege are catering the fish dinner and were getting set up. I don't know the weights of the biggest fish but I
think it was right at 27 pounds. I didn't enter the tournament so I bought $100 worth if raffle tickets and a friend is going to check them in case
one of mine comes in. Lots of great prizes.
Here's some photos of the set up before the crowds arrived.

Here's a shot of the weigh in/cleaning table with a boat being load after a days fishing for the "Big One" in the for ground. You can see the wave
breaking on the rocks just south of the ramp. Sorry about the quality of the photo but it was taken from my place about 2 miles away.

There are a lot of fine gardens in Punta Chivato now. Both Friday & Sunday's events were held at Casa Oxley again this year.

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.

Well, when I was not fishing the stupid tournament, I was fishing for grouper and Cabrilla and the fishing has been epic and almost wide open this
whole season, so the idea that they have been wiped out just does not cut the mustard.
I will admit that the fish have gotten a little smarter and require a little more subtle approach than they did years ago. We almost never used
sliding sinkers before, but now they will eat the bait but will immediately drop it if they feel any resistance. It kinda makes one think that if
they would get rid of the stupid nets then fishing would get really good again because the fish adapt to changing conditions, just like good
fishermen.
