-------"ruined" is a relative term-------depends on your perspective--------I don't think it is "ruined" either, but I do think that Sarah Palin IS
hot!!!
(how did Sarah get involved in this anyway????) 
Tin-boat fishermen are THE "reference of choice" and to listen to------just ask Gene Kira.

baitcast , mulege marv, Skeet/Loreto and company, I haven't spent enough time fishing the Sea of Cortez? Tell that to flyfishingPam, Pescador and the
Mexican long line fisherman. A grouper is a grouper. A snapper is a snapper. A
dorado is a dorado. They're the same fish in the Atlantic as well as the Pacific. All the wise advice such as looking for birds, grass mats, tide
lines, presentation? I learned that in kindergarden, at about the age of 5. Know you all mean well, but you're contributing to the problem, not the
solution.

This
is great lots of action in the fishing section........24 hrs........Tin boat
fisherman rule just ask them
Two of my best trips have been in the last few years,BOLA and Playa Ligui "Carmen" 12" tin and porta bote always a 14" up to that time,never
used a panga,like finding my own fish,many are unwilling or don,t know how and they are the ones who b-tch the loudest.
Ya its not as good as it once was but as DT said if you can,t catch a fish in the gulf better change sports.

Oh! yu poor Babies====
HAVE TO HAVE A fISH fINDER TO FIND THE fISH.
It seems that the Fishing Forum has now been subject to al the Crazies who Always end up not answering questions but putting down Ole Skeet.
I am sure they get sick and cry everytime they see a picture of a Great Big Dorado/Yellowtail being displayed.
Looks as if it si time to shut this some what one sided discussion down.
Where next ?? I am still here alive and Kicking.

OK....guess I'll weigh in...
One problem with trying to characterize the fishing in the SOC as "ruined" or "depleted" or "as good as ever" is that there is no single fishery.
There are different fisheries for different seasons, locales, species and habitats.
Now, some of these combinations have held up well. One poster mentions the East Cape fishery. And Cabo's billfish fishery still makes magazine
headlines. Why is that? First of all much of the success in those areas are from fish managed exclusively for sport-billfish and dorado. And because
the yellowfin tuna in those regions are able to absorb most of the effort of the large commercial boats, they are not poaching to the extent that they
are further north in the gulf, where the collapse of shrimp and other fisheries and the relative absence of tuna have left dorado vulnerable to
commercial fishing under the noses of Conapesca.
Furthermore, in the East Cape region, politically powerful hotel/resort interests have restricted inshore gill netting by pangas. Restrictions on
inshore gillnets have resulted in improved fisheries in many other places, so may be a reason there is better inshore results there as well.
Loreto?Mulege? Inshore, shallow water fishing is poor, IMO. But it is the kind of fishing that I favor the most, and I do get a few fish. But I do get
skunked, and I've fished with local Mexican pros and seen them skunked too. But for the most part, we just have to scratch a little longer for a
little less. Species that were once common staples of the SOC fishery are now a big event when they are caught.
But the dorado and billfish fishery has usually been good to great here in Loreto, in season. That's why people like Pam and her captains can sell
trips. I can say that I saw some sailfish action here this year that was fabulous. But we have also seen a couple of summers this decade when the
dorado fishing was poor. And maybe that's one way a decline may first manifest itself. One poor season. Then maybe two.
But what we've seen in the mid to upper gulf, beyond the regions of plentiful yellowfin tuna schools, is an enormous failure to manage any
commercially caught species. Only those fish reserved for sport remain plentiful enough to provide an economically sustainable sport resource.
Yellowtail? I think they are slipping, and I believe last year ArturoSport didn't have it's San Nicholas yellowtail camp. And we are beginning to hear
complaints from farther north of here (Loreto) of declining dorado fishing.
Now that there is almost nothing left but reduction fisheries (baitfish, black skipjack, etc for fishmeal) for the large Guaymas fleet, Conapesca is
not only turning a blind eye to poaching, but is actively seeking legalizing the commercialization of dorado and billfish. They have a fight on their
hands and it will be interesting to see how it goes.
As for the inshore fishing, sport fishermen have failed to be a force to protect these habitats from severe overfishing. We have taken our share, and
regardless of whether or not that share is larger, smaller, or more economically used than the commercial share, we have failed politically to protect
these commons. So now new stakeholders have moved in, better organized and better funded. Fishermen, commercial and sport, may deride these
environmental group stakeholders as alarmists, radicals, or whatever, but the fact of the matter is they have brought energies to the table that the
sport fishermen never dreamed of, and they are bringing new ideas that often exclude sportfishing. Rejuvenated shallow water reefs, populated by
renewed numbers of fish, larger fish, more species of fish, but no fishing allowed. Well, it's something, anyway, if they can pull it off. Maybe I'll
help.

Pam...
I didn't see if Skeet answered, but his captain buddy is Alvaro Murillo, the boat is the Silvia IV, usually tied up near the parking lot. I'm sure you
know him.

It sounds like one person is talking about fishing and the others are talking about catching. I can't remember a bad day of fishing but catching is a
different story. I have only been fishing the soc for about 7 or 8 years and to tell you the truth I have been a little disappointed in the catching
department. I have had great days for yellow tail and dorado and the occasional cabrilla or pargo, but overall it's not anything close to what I
expected. But I still enjoy the fishing. The local Mexican fishermen must be outraged at what the commercial boats are doing to them. But what can
they do? It seems that the commercial guys have the government guys in their pockets and can get away with whatever they want and the locals know this
so they do nothing. Maybe if they could see this video, they will better understand the the problems and get together and figure out a way to protect
their resource. The only way I see the soc continuing to be a sustainable resource in the long term is for the local people to get involved like
what Pam is doing in Loreto. I applaud you for your efforts.

Thanks Don: That is the very best answer in this whole Discussion!!
I agree 100%, but would say concerning YellowFin that the 38 years I was there the average good Season was every 3 years. also they sometimes would
only come as far as Catalana, but then the islands down south had a good Season ,loreto had none.
Don I think that part of the problem with understanding the Fishing is understanding the social things around it.
Many years ago, I think it was 1971 or 72 on one of my trips to San Nichilas, Enriques's wife had trouble sleeping as she was in a lot of pain with
some very bad Teeth. They did not have the money to fix them.
So one day Erinque, Martin,his son, and I went fishing and came back a
little late:
27 Feet of YellowTail layed out side by side which sold for 171 Dollars, the most money Enrique had seen at one time.,
I made sure that the money was spend on New Teeth for his wife
I watched as Pappa Murillo slowly died of old age supported in his final days by the money from Fishing made by his sons.
I am beginning to see that there are a bunch of people who do not care about the Mexicano People, only their Future GrandChildren, How Sad
Thanks for an excellent Post
