Are fishing destinations in Mexico still safe?

I lived there (in the hills above Cabo) for many years and loved it. La Paz and the Puerto Vallarta areas are also very nice and safe too.

Drove down Baja last summer and had a blast, good fishing and great food. Lee and I are trying to put a trip down to La Paz in 2012, maybe visit Fisherman's Fleet, but will tow a boat also. Glad to see you posting Fred.

I got back from PV a few days ago, I found out the Polica don't let any reports of a rip off go unoticed, they came out in full force because a cabby ripped off an American tourist, otherwise the place was very safe even at night and very friendly. I wanted to try and temp the Crocs in the Marina with a stray fat cat. People were very enteraining, we paid off an old guy that was singing to us with a plate of Pompano that we caught the day before, all the restaurants were more than willing to cook your catch! The Fishing down there was ok, the Pagna was a piece of schit, I still suprised the boat held together through the 2' chop. We fished up near the Elephant rock, never did catch a rooster but did get a cero and lots of grouper, snapper, and a few pomps. These guides didn't have any electronics just a radio and compass, no good fishing tackle, I let them keep what I brought and didn't loose to the reefs. There needs to be a tackle shop down there! The day I went out fishing, Mahi, tuna, sails, and Marlin were another 3 hours out, then the day before I flew home all those fish were spotted near the Elephant!
