Any current fish reports?

THIS TRIP IN NOW FULL THIS TRIP IS NOW FULL
RECONFIRMED THIS puts the count at 15 when we include Ross. The camp will be full, which is great, REMEMBER to bring a comfortable chair for lounging and watch out for the fish. Tight Lines. I too would love a nice juicy piece of Orangemouth.

Hashem I'm really liking that wind forecast, it's kind of a ways off to predict, but we can always hope the wind doesn't blow!!!!!

Roger that. Last time I found a website for Gonzaga Bay, but I can't find it now. I will look again.


Now for help with Spanish;

At the border I am asked by non-English speaking officers (why do they have them there?) as "where are you going?".

Can you provide a simple answer like--I am going fishing for a week at Gonzaga Bay.


Thanks Amigo.

Thanks Amigo.

There's 2 main questions you will be asked at any checkpoint in mex....

A donde vas? (or a donde va usted) = where are you going?
Voy/Vamos a bahia gonzaga para pescar por una semana.

De donde vienes? (de donde viene usted) = where did you come from?
Somos (we are)/ venimos (we came) de ___________.

[Mahigeer]

Great.

How about;

I am with a group and going to Gonzaga Bay for a week of fishing.


I am coming back from Gonzaga Bay after a week of fishing and going to Mexicali.

I go to _______

Sure, here you go. Try this:

Hola, yo soy un narcotraficante y tengo un monton de drogas y armas en la cajuela de mi carro.

Jeff's group just got back, very few sierras, lots of bass, triggers. Big fish wereTWO roosters one 30 and one 35#. Cabrilla 10 and 12 pounds, snapper 12# and corvina 6-7 and 10 pounds. While Jeff said this was his worst fishing in BAJA everyone caught good fish and enjoyed the weather. Hopefully some of them will post. Tight Lines,

With friends like you, who needs enemies.

Thanks for a good chuckle.

I agree the less is better.

[Gr8fuldude]

I'm also in the camp of less is more. Because I can rattle off in spanish without a thick accent, they'll often come back at me with something I can't understand. But that helps grow my spanish and enriches the experience.

?De donde viene usted? Answer: California

?A donde va usted? A pescar en Gonzaga.

Anything beyond that may just lead to confusion, and possible offending the guy with the big gun. Whatever you do, under no circumstances should you ever use the word mother (madre) in Spanish to someone you don't know very well.

If you want to practice your Spanish, probably better to pick someone other than military personnel
