Thanks---they are all great and looks like you had a great time. I really like all the photos, but the fourth one in the first part really jumps out
at me. I love street scenes and that one is perfect!

Thanks much, Stimbo. I sure wish I could throw a cast net like the pangeros. I throw a pretty good wad of netting, but that doesn't collect many
baitfish.

Well, I viewed all 3 posts and I've decided that ...... I like them all! If you're not at least semi-pro you missed your calling as a photographer.
Composition, lighting, colors are great!

Looks like the La Ventana campground here.
We used to hire a guide there that looks just like a younger version of your guide. He was from Los Planos and was most knowledgable in fly fishing.
We would hire several from that town but he was the best.
Regarding the image with the thrownet. If you go north from La Ventana for about 10 miles you round a point that is just marvelous. There are always
baitfish in there and roosters chasing them. The texture of the cliff at the point is really special. We never caught anything significant there but
every time I would start the motor to leave, a bunch of large roosters would rush the beach and make me change my mind.

Hey Igor -- Good to hear from you and glad you enjoyed the photos. I figured you'd recognize the area (you gave me some great info, thanks). We saw
some great fish including the "mother of all roosters" at Punta Arena. Also, while fighting off a siesta at La Ventana, I was pulled out of slumber
with the squawking and diving of birds 30' from shore. Baitfish were fleeing for their lives, dorado were leaping out of the water in pursuit. I
grabbed my fly rod and took off, but they were gone as quickly as they arrived. Saltwater fishing in Baja is WAY fun. We ate well. Even the Jack
Crevalle, marinated in olive oil, salt, pepper, grilled lightly over coals was tasty. Jim
