Couldn't figure out how to fix it so here's the new one. As a response, maybe it would be helpful to those of us who have never fished there but are considering it, if you could tell us the spots to stay away from for sure.

Would you still fish the Mexican side? single choice

Never have fished that side, plenty of English speaking fish to be caught

Also, most people say that if your boat will do 70 you can outrun anything from the Mexican side. But what if your boat will only do 50? 30? I don't mean for this to become asinine, but there are alot of people, including myself, who have never been and desperately want info.

Yes, probably.

However, maybe not in my boat, it is a little slow.

Yes, I will still fish in Mexico. And it doesn't matter how fast your boat goes. There is no such thing as a boat that will outrun a .223 or .308. But I've also not heard of any fishermen being shot at on Falcon, ever.

I'm not so worried about being shot, more so overtaken. A dead American is worth no money.

Yes, this is the poll I was looking for. Separates the men from the boys.

Or possibly the sane from the insane.

Absolutly 100%. If anything the Mexican side is now becoming safer to fish because of the Mexican military stepping in. Like I said, If you're scared go to church.

Someone needs to make a poll asking how many people who are scared to go to the mexican side actually fish the lake and how many just watch the news.

you guys that are taking offense to people being afraid to go down there cause of the news should be happy! Less folks on the water!!! (not that theres a lot anyways) I know I can't wait to go back.... No matter who's gettin killed down there.. Ain't got nuttin to do with seperatin men from boys.... its bout to catchin big bass or just plain ole lots of bass!! I've always preferred catchin vs fishin and you can sure catch em down there!! Heck I hope the violence gets worse!! Only thing I care about is how hard the wind's gonna be blowin.... thats the only thing that almost killed us last month!

And for the guys that don't want to risk it thats just fine.... Guys with families shouldn't have to worry about not coming home to em just to go on a fishing trip... But really.... Theres Border PAtrol everywhere on the Texas side. We had one watchin us fish our secret lil point everytime we showed up

I voted no but let me explain my answer. Never been to falcon (planning on going this summer)so I dont really know the lake. Plan on hiring a guide and taking the boat for the remainder of the trip. If the guide says it's safe then i'll fish it. If I was fishing solo...probly play it safe and fish the texas side.

We've fished Falcon several times in past couple years. Saw no reason to fish the Mexican side - plenty of water and fish on US side of the line.

you guys go ahead and stay away from the mexican side, there's no good fishing over there anyways....
