I don't know where the breaking point is and I'm certianly not Rambo, but I am getting sick and tired of my freedom being taken away by low life scum bags.

I blame all of this on the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Can you outrun a 50 cal machine gun? Remember that is Mexico not America. They shoot first, then ask questions.

IF you stay in American waters your freedom will be protected and I will certainly back you up, but if you are in Mexican waters then you are on your own.

as for the mexican army, remember the alamo? San Jacito? Spanish American war? seems like they always do, usually just takes a few good americans, texans or tenneseeans to show them how its done lol. Not sure what the solution is, but it has to stop now and stop for good. I fish for relaxation and sport and enjoyment, not to be harrassassed or shot at by someone I never did anything bad to. World is a mess, we need to fix it somehow. Maybe an international tournament on falcon or amastad, winner take all lol.

Have a feeling they'd take the US to the cleaners with those gill nets. USA 5 fish, 42lbs....Mexico 633 Fish, 2802lbs :P

I'm guessing, but I imagine our country paid the majority of the bill for creating Amistad and Falcon. If the Mexicans can't police thier side of these lakes, maybe we should. I know it's complicated and way over our heads, but enough is enough.

naw, those gill nets have nothing on a kentucky rig, you remember those, 1/2 stick of dynamite, 1/2 lb weight, lots of speed on the boat lol. seriously, im kinda stumped as to what to do about the situation, its probably the most beautiful lake to fish in the usa, has great fish in it, but taking the chance of being killed for a fish is just not cool. Any suggestions?

How about cast, duck and reel!!!!

Go to OH Ivie, only thing to worry about there is running into Tommy Hagler

***Sputter...sputter....Why if,.....sputter...sputter...

If those DAD-BLAME bandits had come up to me...sputter...why I wudduhh chunked about uhh two ounce weight I keep handy in my boat....sputter....sputter.....

I allus carry a big ole sinker weight....sputter....sputter...it makes me so blame mad that I could just.......sputter!



(I learned how to do stuff like the above by reading posts from TFF members on how to handle folks who get too close to them on their fishing holes! )

kinda like taking a knife to a gun fight

Sorry, Tommy!

Exactly!!

My question is why is anyone being robbed by this guy? That boat can't run over 40. I guess no one had a reason to flee when they saw him coming. They do now. I would naturally be suspicious of any boat coming up on me in mexico.
