Rooster Release

This is where all rooster fish should go after you've had your fun with them. Terje Bendiksby of Norway fished for nine days out of La Paz and reports excellent fishing for roosters. This big boy was estimated at 25 kilos - that's over 50 pounds! It seems like a good year for pez gallo with reports of good action from Loreto to La Paz and the East Cape.

Nice Photos on Gary Bulla's Discussion Board

Check out these photos from a June trip to Cerralvo Island and Punta Arena just south of La Paz. That looks like a fun trip!

Reports from the fall trip look pretty good as well.

El Mogote Development

Although the fishing is not very good along El Magote, the long sand spit that protects La Paz, it is (was?) a beautiful place with potential as a fishing spot. Netting has taken a big toll along El Magote and I'm sure pollution from the city hasn't helped.

It is a great spot for kayaking and bird watching. Unfortunately, it as been subject to one of the most ill conceived development projects around. Barely rising above high tide and made of sand held together by vegetation including extensive mangrove forests, the long finger of El Mogote provided the frame to the spectacular sunsets the the La Paz Malecon is known for.

There is a website documenting some of the problems with this development:

Badwishtobuyparaiso.org

The real creepy thing about the El Paraiso development is the level of green washing in their marketing. They brag about a "certification" by Audubon International - NOT the well known and respected Audubon Society. Audubon International uses the name of the famous birder and conservation organization to provide green cover to the golf industry!

Their poor choice of location and deceptive advertising should serve as a warning to the future of this outfit. Likely, it will remain as another half built Baja development disaster with serious lingering environmental and for those that spent their money here economic damage.

Norbert Arrives

Hang on everyone!!!

According to the National Hurricane Center Hurricane Norbert has sustained winds of 105 mph with higher gusts. Ciudadad Constitution, Ciudad Insurgentes and smaller towns of the Municipo of Comondu don't really need this after all the flooding associated with Tropical Storm Lowell last month.

The flat lands of the Magdelena Plain are prone to flooding. After this storm it will be several days before the highway between La Paz and Loreto is open. The power station at Puerto San Carlos is right in the path of this storm so their may not be electricity for a while.

I'll post more information as I get it.

The Baja Big Fish Company web page will have Loreto information as soon as the power and Internet come back on.

Although it is a little south of the storm path the Telmex web cam in La Paz might have some interesting images in the morning.

¡Cuidado Amigos!
