Another 3 hour tour
My neighbor caught my fat self launching the toy boat this morning. Ran the sore line all the way to the camping beach without a bite. Trolled
rapalas, castmasters, crocks, plastics... tried everything but gulp. Water was clear and going over the reefs I was shocked at how few colorful reef
fish there were. Only thing in any numbers were sting rays. After the disapointing tour along the shore I went out a mile or so and worked in an out
over rock piles and reefs. Nada. I did get a couple of bumps and something eat the tail off a scampi. Worked my way back inside just south of fis
camp. There are some promising reef there and got the skunk off with a small cabria.
Almost sunk the toy boat trying to get in. Someone say DIET!
OK, Now for the tour!
Kinda hard fumbling a camera around in a toy boat. More shore line shots next cruise. And hopefully fish too.

Wow
that is really pretty
never been more than 50 miles south of Vicente Guerrero. Maybe this coming year. No tourist so we should have the time.
Have heard people tell me how beautiful everything is for the last 28 years. I hope to see it for myself.

Barry & others, Shell Beach is connected to Punta Chivato and just North of Mulége. I used to have Punta Chivato on my location along with Shell
Beach but when the new Land Barons put up their barbed wire/chain link 8' fence along my property I dropped the Punta Chivato. This company has not
started any improvements to their holdings here, other than to totally surround themselves and the home owners of Punta Chivato with their
¶§§©∆√ fence! Oh, and restrict use of the camping beach that you see in the a photo, empty. They have cut off historical access roads
across there land to some of the best vistas around Punta Chivato  They have, in
a touch of fairness, generously participated in community events and road repairs. What really sent me over the edge was when they put in speed bumps
& a guard shack. WOW, looks like I hijacked my own thread

Mulegena, You caught that right away  Gilligan might be a good name for the
little boat? SS Minnow ain't bad either. Any one else wanna help name the little boat?

Russ, Thanks for the pictures and report. Your boat is just the right size. I'm sure some of our "armchair" fishermen can explain your failure to see
more fish and catch only one.
woody in ob, Yea, it's amazing how few fish are to be found in some areas. Great habitat etc., only thing missing are the fish.

That morning sure was pretty.
I'm thinking "Mary Ann" for the name of your boat. She had it going on much more than Ginger did.

Definitely a Livingston wanna be but I like it better because it has a bench seat with storage below. The top rail matched the Livingston exactly.
So Dennis, your name suggestion is "The Bath Tub"?
