Super User roadwarrior Posted April 29, 2013 Super User Share Posted April 29, 2013 You are right, no doubt, but I didn't mean to act like I was bragging. This was just a nice fish... Maybe we'll cath something "picture worthy" at Pickwick this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted April 29, 2013 Super User Share Posted April 29, 2013 I'd be willing to bet you guys will get into some "picture worthy" fish down there. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(='_'=) Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 60,000 people is a big number...I don't think it's hype: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-10681249 well, there may have been 60,00 people killed in these past years... however, 95% of them, or more, are just drug dealers killing each other.... a more meaningful number would be how many innocent people got killed... except for bystanders that happen to be on the wrong place at the wrong time (IE a shooting in the street among gang members), not many innocent people got killed.... I live in Chihuahua, 3 hours south of what supposedly is one of the most dangerous cities in the world (Juarez, border with El Paso TX). and speaking about fishing, have you heard about Oviachic in Sonora?? my uncle just returned from there about a month ago, he went with another fisherman and a guy that didn't even know how to use a baitcaster, they fished for 3 days and he says they got more than 120 fish in the 4-7 pound range, so maybe not monsters but high numbers, and he says other boats reported 200+ fish in the same period of time...

Dinky Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Just a few observations: Fishing for bass in Mexico's lakes is not a zero sum game. If you catch a lot of big fish in Lake "A", it does not mean you will not be able to catch just as many big fish in Lake "B". Yet many posters seem to be saying that only a lot of big fish can be caught in their particular lake. and not in other lakes. This is ridiculous. Weighing fish is the only way ( seriously? 'weigh' to 'way'?) to tell how much a fish ways..er weighs. Lakes in Mexico certainly will be affected by pressure over time. A lake that becomes 'hot' will attract more fishermen and thus more pressure. Over enough time it will experience a reduction in size/numbers. I have fished El Salto for over 10 years --probably 25 trips. But I am not so insecure about my choice that I would claim other lakes do not compare with it--at least not until I fished the other lakes 25 times over a 10 year period. El Salto is more convenient to get to than other lakes; but I definitely want to - and will-- try other lakes. It took me over 6 years of trips to El Salto to actually get a double digit in the boat. Meanwhile I boated hundreds of 6-8 pound fish-and enjoyed every minute of it. Since then I have become a better fisherman in Mexican lakes and have boated many more 10+ pound fish at El Salto. If I go to a different lake and do not catch as many big fish as I have on my best trip to El Salto will I conclude that El Salto is better than that other lake? Of course not. I look forward to fishing Lake Baccarac next spring and have Sugar on my radar. Adios amigos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinky Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Just three from last year at El Salto and a picture of the boat I fish out of in Mexican waters. No problems for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
