rhintransit...... Yes, indeed. Juncalito about ten miles south of Loreto. Last weekend the torneo was at El Cardonal, north of Los Barriles, which
is smaller and much further off the beaten path than Juncalito.

Ey, Pargo,
That was uncalled for!
El Juncalito is a safe and secure little bay. No sand to speak of, but a cool little ejido.
For the most part, the residents are in charge of the boats moored at Puerto Escondido. Their residents (about 60) are really hospitable and cohesive.
Most of the residents live under large palapas. The majority of the residents are Gringos.
The place I would not want to live at is the gated enclave (more like a concentracion camp) just at the entrance to Puerto escondido. Nice houses and
RV's but the place feels like an internment camp from WWII (tall chainlink fence with razor wire on top that surrounds the property.)

The beach is still open.
I have no idea if there will be any restrictions during the tournament.

Don, wonder how the southern Copa Gobernador tournaments are doing. The general feeling up around our area is that they have turned in to "who can
cheat the most" We have seen fish offloaded, winning fish that were obviously in the freezer, starting times of 7:00 and winning fish back from
Tortuga island (26 miles offshore) checked in at 8:30, so the fun has pretty much gone out of the tournaments in the Santa Rosalia area. Hope they
are doing better in your neck of the woods

Pescador,
You mean to tell us there are actually fishermen who cheat.
Who would have ever thought such a thing.

Don, thanks for the info. A couple years back someone had put up a fence on the road in. I'm trying to work it out so i can be down there about that
time. Love to camp on that beach and had some good fishing in years past. Thanks again.

I have no complaints. Your report is the first I've heard of any significant cheating.

SOUR GRAPES, MAYBE?
I have participated in four Governor's Cup tournaments and finished in the money twice. Most recently, at the torneo in Loreto a couple of weeks ago
when I hooked a 35# dorado at 2:30, 50 miles out of the marina and made it back to the scale one minute before the 4:00 p.m. deadline. In none of the
GC torneos I have fished have I heard a whisper of any improprieties. Clicero Mercado who was the organizer of the four tornaments I fished in is a
pretty savvy guy. It is hard to believe that Clicerio would be taken in by a frozen and rethawed fish that if presented at 8:30 would, if legitimate,
have had to be alive and taking somebody's bait and hour or so earlier. Not to say that it is impossible that such a thing happened, but this tale
smacks to me a bit of sour grapes.

sorry guys haven{t checked in a awhile. i´m still totally boggled at the idea of a fishing tournament in El J. i live there. it{s tiny. there is
one little rock boat ramp owned by the Torres family. there is one dirt road. there is only a rocky beach. there is minimal parking. there are zip
services. how many people are expected? where will weigh in be? i{ll be in my palapa watching the events...should be extremely weird.

My guess is that they will set up awnings at the camping beach. The beer distributors will bring coolers, beer, table,s chairs and awnings. Someone
will bring a generator, there will probably be a disco movil guy, and bbqs for the fish. Participants can launch at Puerto Escondido or bring their
boats by sea from Loreto, which is probably what I'll do.
Camping, swimming, music, beer...could be fun. Could be weird. Could be fun and weird.

Well, there is hope. Yes Clicero is one of the organizers of the Bisbee and that is why I was a little surprised at the laxness at the San Marcos and
San Bruno tournaments and last season we did not have a tournament in Santa Rosalia. The first year was a real blast but there were a lot of
complaints this season.

Udo, my deepest apologies for uncalled for humor. i couldn't resist..i sometimes forget we're PG-13 here and thanks for the tour of Juncalito by the
way. I,ve been there once just out of curiosity. The place was pretty skeletal at the time with mostly just the foundations up.
...and Martyman, if you really laughed at that then you're going down with me when the humor police show up
