Frosty Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Hola Jose, welcome aboard glad to have you. If you'll put your general location in the header you might be surprised how many members live within visiting distance. Also many of your question's answers will be location dependent. Dad and I used to go fishing in Ensenada a couple few times a year and occasionally on the gulf side, depended on what was running. Good times. Frosty The Lucky.

Ironpp Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) Ensenada is good for fishing, i still would recomend, bahia de los angeles, for fishing and swiming with whale sharks, lovely town. thanks for the welcoming, of course sorry for the lame english, not my first language.

Frosty Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I haven't been to Mexico for almost 50 years but I'll keep Bahia de Los Angeles in mind if we go fishing on the Baja. LAME English?! You speak at least two languages and speak English better than some native speakers here. Seriously I can order a beer, scrambled eggs or get in a fight in Spanish and I grew up in a neighborhood that was mostly Spanish speakers. Don't apologize unless you owe somebody one.

I always suggest reading this READ THIS FIRST to get the best out of the forum. It's full of helpful hints to keep you on the good side of the moderators.

FlatLiner Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Hola Jose, bienvenido al forum. Hablas bien el Ingles. Ojala que podemos ayudarle de alguna manera.
