Good Luck with your Fishing!!
Russ; Could you ask around and see if any body knows for sure that that Cessna Twin is still buried in the Mud and Water off the end of the Runway, I
have a couple of guys who are thinking of diving and taking a look at it.
Thanks Skeet

I've heard stories about it but I don't remember anyone I know talking about it. In the last 10 years the hurricanes may have taken a toll on it. When
did it go in the drink?

Russ - I have a HUGE favor to ask for: can you radio folks and see if some punta chivatans perhaps have some little fishing poles for kids around
????? we are going to have a LA BOCANA little - medium aged and teen kids competition in a couple weeks.
I am thinking we might go to the Punta Chivato tournament - sounds like loads of fun !!

Jeez we might get a surprise visit from the most famous chef in La Paz? Last year was a real blast and you need to put this one on your calendar and
come to Chivato.
I hate fishing tournaments where all the participants get so ego involved and desperately want to show everyone that they are the best fishermen
around when it basically boils down to pure luck. How else could I have gotten bumped out of first place and all the way down to second place?
The fishing was fun, but the Beach Boil dinner with tiki lights on the sand beach, and the Captain's Meeting at Harry and Pam Oxley's house, as well
as the Awards Dinner the last night were an absolutely magical weekend. If you are anywhere near Chivato, you need to make sure to come even if you
don't fish in the tournament, you can have a ball just attending all the activities. They are hoping to have a little tyke's tournament the same day
and now I am trying hard to decide whether to enter the tyke tournament or go out in the boat.

I haven't been down there in some time. But heard during Easter there were bathrooms and water. Don,t know about showers. Maybe Bobby Luhan will chime
in and tell us about what is there now and what he hopes to do this summer.

Do the entered fish become the property of the tournament (probably for the fish tacos?) or do the anglers keep their fish after the weigh-in? The
rules dont mention this.
Also, to qualify as an entrant, you need only be at the launch ramp area at the start of the tournament AND be registered prior to the start? I might
make the run over but not if there is some type of residency requirement.
Oh yeah..........I see no mention of the cost of the tournament. Are the charitable funds only garnered by selling dinner tickets, raffle tickets and
T-shirts???

Thanks Russ. Last time I was
there was around '95, one of the prettiest camping spots on the peninsula.

Tournament is open for anyone not residents only. Entry Form has a bunch of info.. http://www.bullsonlytournament.com/index.php?option=com_cont... . I gotta tell ya that the raffle is a blast! There are some really grand prizes
and some really stupid ones so it takes awhile to go through the big stash of prizes. Some people buy $100 worth of tickets.The bar is open the whole
time so once in awhile a winner needs a little help to claim a prize.
If you've taken really good care of your catch you may be asked to donate it for the awards dinner the next night. But there is no pressure to give up
a nice fish.

They are not scheduled to appear before the night of the tournament.
Actually we have had a pocket or two of 75 degree water with 74 degrees being the target water temperature for Dorado in our area. There is a lot of
Sargasso floating around and some real interesting currents pushing the stuff into some major islands. We did find a few peanut dorado on the way
back from Tortuga but nothing of any consequence yet. But the water is warming, bait is good, so there should be some fish by this weekend if the
prog charts on Terrafin are any good indication.
They normally start down off of Punta Concepcion in the mine area and if you are staying at Chivato, it is a good run down there and you should be
in fish by the time you get here.
