beer and it's all cool. We have set prices but if we choose to give a discount or lower the price or trade services for lures or gear, well, gosh...I
think it's OK to do that...I do not mean up the price for rich gringos!!!! I mean maybe help out the less fortunate catch a fish....or rent a room for
cheaper in exchange for some weeding or a painting whatever...it works for us and I dont think it's offensive or detrimental to our business. We LOVE
our clients(usually) and try to make eveyone happy one way or another. We also think outside the box and like to be creative in our business
practises. |

Anybody caught any yellows yet? Let's get the season rolling. 
Maybe I'll bring my new boat: http://www.rainforestboats.com.mx/sportfish2282.htm
Sliding scale:
$500/day for drunk "tourists" that pee all over the place.(limit 1)
$400/day if you plan to start drinking early (limit 3)
$300/ for the mildly obnoxious (limit 3)
$250/ for real fisherman (limit 2)
Jaun goes free! (He's driving and knows where the fish are plus $10-20 tip per angler)
I guess we are pushing pangas to 4 anglers now so the tip should be good.

Ahhhh, the good old daze !
I think that you are stuck in the past when gas was under $1.00 / gallon and Corona was less than $5.00/case.. I just got a quote for a new 4-stroke
250 hp .-- $28,000.00 installed.
The water and fishing around Puertecitos and south is great if you KNOW WHAT YOU"RE DOING!

Well, we have our first charters for this weekend. So far the response has been great! I fully understand how some of you may think that $400 per
day is too much for a real fishing charter service. I have sat and listened to many people talk about how they can get a panga in cabo for $250 so
they assume that if the spot is more remote it must be more depressed, therefore less expensive.
There is another type of person that goes fishing with our service though. They are called Mexicans. They live in towns like TJ, and Mexicali.
These are the professionals in the towns. Doctors, Lawyers, Insurance agents, Govt employees. They have long used our services, even when our
charter for the 30 ft sportfisher was $600 per day with 6 people. Now at $400 per day with 4 people we are just as busy.
Alot of the calls we get are from people that have their own boats and just dont want to spend the money to tow them down and back. I have a friend
that spends 350 just in fuel for his truck to get there plus then fuel for his boat, then he has to drive, launch, trailer, etc. After that he hopes
to find the fish areas and I tell him where to go. last time down he hit a whale shark and did over 2k worth of damage to his prop shaft and strut.
In the interest of full disclosure, I have a friend in town that runs a panga with a 1985 yamaha 60 two stroke. He has a 22ft regular panga with a
VHF radio.......He charges $350 and has for the past two years.
I am also going to be renting out my Castle on the beach for $250 per night. I will post up some pics on another thread. This way if you want to
come stay on the beach in a private place and have the boat pic you up in front the option is there.
Heading down this weekend and I will try and get some pics together.
Grouper time!!!
Bob, if you are down stop by and say hello.

nice one Dale. find us some Whale sharks ok - but don't hit them.
i say $100 a day per person for guided fun is a bargain.
i'll be flying down soon, keep you posted.

The $250 Cabo San Lucas pangas that I know of only fish from 7am to noon and generally don't ( or won't ) run very far to get on fish.

Bob,
I am heading out in the morning for a 5 day trip. We will be launching in the morning and hitting the islands each day from friday thru sunday. Dead
tide this week, hopefully flat seas and big fish.
I have a feeling that there will be alot of fillets made this weekend!

Mike,
I just dropped 300 bucks getting an A/C tech down to Puertecitos to get my A/C charged up! So much for the cost of things being cheaper in baja. 250
for the fix service and 50 bucks fuel charge for the drive.
I run a 8500 watt gen set for both of my A/C units.

Good thing there is A/C in Foenix, AZ for you Mike! Have you ever landed at PUERTECITOS? That runway is only half the size of Bahia Asuncion's! Of
course it right there in the middle of the town!

yes, i have landed at Puertocitos, 1st time in 1982 when we did a 10 day circum airnavigation of the whole peninsula landing only on dirt and camping
out of my Mooney each night.
as far as baja dirt goes Puertocitos actually is long and generally well maintained (thx to Beercan Bob). if you can't handle 2000 ft as sea level you
should not be flying.
the shortest one i used to do regularly was La Purisima to drop off for the Las Barrancas Flying Sams clinic. that one is 1700' and you MUST turn left
sharply at wheels up to climb in a canyon!

Actually, Mike it is a bear --I've landed on better roads.
It is soft and really sandy at the south 500 feet . .So you are down to about 1500 'of good usable strip.
Every year, I haul at least 2-4 wheelbarrows of fist sized rocks off the surface and that much more trash.

well sorry to hear that Bob but i would have talked to you 1st anyway before i jaunted in. but i can go in light i guess. the thing is i wanted to be
closer to Dale's place for a pick up. otherwise it has to be San Felipe and i REALLY don't want to ride in a cage from SF to Dale's castle over that
POS road!
1500 ft....ummm.........lemme think about that one.
nobody else flying in that would want it graded every once in awhile? who's paying the license fee, or is it expired? it was in a lot better shape
years ago.
did you ever meet C and V from Lake Havasu ? had a rock casa on the beach 3-5 miles north of town there where they leased the dirt, they flew a C 172
Hawk XP and one day he landed to the north taxied to parking and promptly put the nose wheel into a ditch stiking the prop under med to high power! my
mech who did the prop R&R in the field at Puertocitos told me it was as if he was trying to hop a wheelie over the ditch. can you believe that
sh%^& ??
they sold their place. i don't know if they still fly baja, used to see them at Serenidad about once a year.
