THE TYPICAL HOOT
The buzz of reports that a few nice yellowtail have
been landed on the East Cape has locals excited. The
largest problem is that strong north winds typical of
this time of year are keeping anglers on the beach
most days.
Tired of watching the wind blow we took our annual
camping trip to Mag Bay. This is the time of year on
the full moon and new moon that we experience
extreme tides.
La Paz is our first stop where we load up on supplies
for the week. Then it is up highway 1 toward Ciudad
Constitucion. Turning off the highway we head
toward the water down a washboard dirt road for
about 20 miles until reaching a small fish camp. The
pangeros there work mostly at night for shrimp and
crab and we are able to buy all we want. Just past the
fish camp is a tiny naval base. Past the base the road
leads us to a beautiful deserted beach where we can
camp at the waters edge.
Mag is about as close to utopia for an outdoorsman
that I can imagine. On the low tide there are areas
where we can harvest a bucket of chocolate clams in
about an hour. On high tide fishing the mangroves is
always action packed for a variety of species. That is
not to mention sighting hoards of different birds,
whales and porpoise close up.
For a complete report with lots of great photos check
