Tough fishing for us Friday. Our guests arrived late and we didn't get out until 8:30. Most boats did well first thing with scoolie dorado and tuna. Also a few striped marlin were caught.Most of the action was off Punta Arena light house. Lynne Low of Acton, CA did manage to land this nice wahoo. It fell for a trolled ballyoo. The water is blue and in the mid low 80's...Mark Rayor Vista Seasport

Mulege River
While reports of damage from Jimena continue to be moderate we received a report Thursday morning 9/3 from Shari Bondi in Bahia Ascension;
I am sure you’ve heard…we were unscathed, not a drop of rain…Juan was catching calicos last night in front of our house. Will send Hurricane fishing report soon.
Mulege was nailed, water 2 meters ABOVE the bridge, way worse that hurricane John. Highway 1 closed in many spots.
Lopez Mateos also hammered. 60% of the houses lost, Coop inoperable, a real mess, no power, desal plant, water, food or medicine and roads to town cut off. Air drop needed Pharmacy destroyed.
I asked her source and she answered the following;
There was a full report from the mayor on the radio this morning. Very devastated there…radio now out. Lots of power towers down and Loreto will not have power for 6 days supposedly. Very serious. The Mayor was very distraught, no jobs, no houses, the shelters can’t support the number of people in them and they are cut off from aid.
Central Baja got creamed…Punta Chivato houses ruined, roofs blown off, people sleeping in cars last night…also cut off.

Magdalena Bay
Puerto San Carlos
The hurricane hit directly, Magdalena City, San Carlos and Lopez Mateos. 2 reported deaths in San Carlos. 750 houses destroyed in Lopez Mateos. We have no power or water. Two of the canneries boats broke loose from the pier and went aground. I heard the Puerto San Carlos got it worse that we did here in Lopez but if they did they must be Fu…
On Magdalena Island One casita was destroyed and the roofs blown off the others. The fish cap is in shambles. I have to congratulate the Mexicans locals were out the following morning cleaning up and helping others.
The Military arrived and set up shelters and passed out food and water. They are still in good humor after losing everything they own. I hope I never have to go thru another one of these again. No one can ever remember a storm of this magnitude.
