Things picked up for us last week. Winds were calm through the Memorial Day weekend but was blowing slightly on Monday, but not when I left Tuesday morning. Twelve boats were out with everyone getting limits of large rock cod and ling cod. The giant Humboldt squid have reappeared again which Captain Hector thinks may be a good sign for the yellowtail coming in. Mexican Navy is patrolling the area heavily and may board individual boats to check for permits and contraband (drugs/guns). All fishermen at this time do need a valid Mexican fishing license. They made it the boat owner's responsibility to ensure that everyone on their boat has a license. Tomas Guerrero of Mexican tourism was there through the weekend but his supply was limited. It is, therefore, suggested that anyone going down secures a license before crossing the border or in Ensenada.
