Pompano, Appreciate your positive attitude and photos'.:D The unrestricted use of gill nets and the resulting decimation of the fisheries is hard to see. Those mackerel will probably be mush before they reach any market.:no:

Additons - Nov. 2010






An amigo, Clemente, anchors his panga on the glassy waters of Conception Bay next to Dead Dog Beach on Isla Barga...with a hopeful outlook. Maybe he gets some fish today, maybe he doesn't. Okay either way...




I really do love everything in Nature, but the damn gulls can stop using my patio for their bombing runs ...anytime now!


First the pests get their clams..usually chocolates...at low tide on the beach in front..then climb high in the sky directly above my flagstones.

Then Clams Away! as they try to bean you on your noggin as you sit peacefully in your chair.

Crack! Splatter! ..the clams are broken open by this convenient hard spot. They swoop down to gobble up the goodies and go looking for MORE clams. Damn birds are gonna eat up all the clams..MY clams!

Later, after the feedng frenzy is over, I broom off all the broken clamshells and disgusting goo.

I settle down in the chair again for a needed rest with a c-cktail..and promptly get pooped on the head or in my drink by some overfed gosh darnn gull.

It has to stop...

THIS WAS NOT IN MY BAJA BROCHURE!

Damned flying rats. Has anyone ever tried to eat one? Maybe we all have and just don't realize it.
Chase them back to the landfill where they belong, Roger.

Ahem to that, Dennis. We concur..

...and make our toast to the eviction of Stuka-Gulls from Coyote Bay. Click..




Thank you....and Now, the responses and retorts from PETA members, if you please.

Roger -this is a wonderful thread ... a lot of fun to follow pics and stories ... one of these days you really should come to La Bocana .... my camera does not do it justice. Arrive here mid morning, relax on porch and help Les deplete the beer supply for the day, enjoy an amazing lobster - fish - scallop - sushi dinner at Joaquin's cactus restaurant at 7:00 with a chance to meet all the locals and visitors for that day, sleep to the sound of waves crashing (even tho' they are a mile away, you hear them clearly) and wake up to Les's incredible Polish scrambled eggs and delish coffee. Then, go fishing for dorado and wahoo on the good years, yellowtail this year.
Hope we enticed you, we'd love to have you over.





Come visit La Bocana

I hear you Pomp. Every day I take a bucket of water and squeegee up to the roof as the damn gulls seem to really enjoy having fun with target practice on my solar panels...

BajaBlanca...we are coming SOMETIME soon...you can count on it. Will need info on where to motorhome camp, launch boats, fillet fish, eat, drink, carouse, and dance.

Til then, Pompano.

motorhomeing is a challenge but doable as Dave from San Quintin just did it a couple weeks ago - just come to the front of our house. Best parking spot in town. hands down.

there you can eat, drink, carouse and dance.

everything else is 5 min away from that spot if you drive REAL slow. launching. fishing. filleting. joaquin's. beach. shore fishing.

requirement: camera, BYOB (not much to offer in town), and smiles.

"...You must not blame me if I talk to the clouds...."



Like it was yesterday, I can clearly recall the summer night that my older brothers let me go camping with them in the Badlands of ND. I was very proud to be one of the 'older guys' bunch.

As we lay out that night under the moonlight and watched some clouds moving under it's beams..my oldest brother said:

"Scout..did you know those clouds way up there are moving at 1000 mph?"

It was a magical night...

..and I have never understood to this day why he thought I was soo stoopid. So later, when he crawled out to put some more sticks on the fire, I put a length of rope inside his bag. :yes:

When he came back, took off his boots, and shoved his feet down to hit that rope coil, he let out a holler, and got moving muy pronto!

Then I said to my other older brother.."Gar, do you think Dave is moving about 1000 mph?"


I grew to love clouds..as we all do, I am sure.

Here's some of my favorites from Baja. I hope you enjoy them..even those really faassst ones. :rolleyes:
