The guy wasn't actually shot at. Therewereshot fired in the air or just fired to scare the guy out of that area.

Remember, these guys are just trying to make a better life for themselves. If a few Americans get killed along the way, then that is just the price we have to pay......

I've never been to Falcon or even Amistad, so I have no experience down there.
But my initial thought is, you couldn't pay me anything to even thing about crossing into the Mexico side..... I plan to make a trip to Amistad maybe in a few months, but crossing into Mexico, hell no.. I'll stay where I KNOW it's safe in the USA. I go fishing to have fun, not to worry about a bunch of wet backs shooting at me...... Lol, you have a better chance of being killed in your home town than at Falcon or Amistad. Lol.. Again I've never been to either, but I have been to the border, and I have been to Mexico.. No thanks..... Plenty of bass on the US side If youre that scared, then you shouldnt go to either lake. Its funny though, exactly how many killings can you think of??? 1 and they werent fishermen, their whole story was full of holes.

Never saw where they got PAID just that they were going to have some meeting. S*&^ after 2 months we'd have had several "meetings" for that kind of $$...

Maybe you need to reread.. No where did I say he was shot at.. "he was run out of the creek by a few guys in a panga boat with guns, and they fired a few shots in the water, adjacent to their boat." Excuse me. Guess we define things differently. Someone shots in the water adjacent to me I will take that as I am being shot at. What would be required to be shot at if that is not? They have to hit you or the boat? I bet if you fired shots adjacent to a LEOs car he was in he would consider you having had shot at him. However I stand corrected, your friend was not shot at, they just fired shots in his direction.

The word "their" could be referring to the shooter's boat. Like when you see someone in the movies fire a shot into the ground to announce that they mean business.

I think most people would read "their" in that sentence as being the boat of his friends. Either way, I would stay away from "their" side.

Last year as we were launching for our club tournament, the GW at the ramp warned all of us to stay out of Mexico. We had a couple of hard heads that fired up and run straight over there. One boat had issues with weapons pointed at them while beating the bank and the other boat had a helicopter come out of the middle of nowhere, hover over them with a canon pointed at them. That boat had carried his wife and young son. They made it back safe to tell their stories...... this time. Be careful folks.
