I would love to fish some of the Baja locales. However, it is just plain not safe. I will go by boat, or on an organized trip, with a group of experienced people, however the statistics clearly show that a non-Spanish speaking gringo tourist is extremely likely to attract trouble in Mexico. It is just not worth it to me. I was in Tijuana once, and we had trouble then with no provocation. The multitudes of horror stories can't all be exaggerations. I will stay in La Jolla or in a boat until I am invited to go in a safer environment/ situation. I guess that is the down side of being a "rich, dirty, rotten, ugly, gringo."
It is sad that there are so many tourists have willingly parted with their money to Visit and support Mexico in the past, that will no longer do so, me included. Mexico has lost millions of dollars in Tourism revenue because of their corruption.

So.... Where does that leave our wonderfully "non-corrupt" San Diego city council members?lollollollollollollollol
