Is there good fishing in and around Los Cabos - La Paz, Mexico?
Paul Clark - East Cape Homes
Fishing in Los Cabos and La Paz is always wonderful. We have a boat that we use on the beach. We are home to black and blue marlins, pelagic fish (fish that go across the oceans), and treefish. Fishing is huge in the sports industry in Los Cabos and La Paz. There’s a fairly small, regular commercial fishery from small boats that mainly catch red snapper.
Freediving for pelagic fish and whatever they can spear is also widespread around Los Cabos and...
Fishing in Los Cabos and La Paz is always wonderful. We have a boat that we use on the beach. We are home to black and blue marlins, pelagic fish (fish that go across the oceans), and treefish. Fishing is huge in the sports industry in Los Cabos and La Paz. There’s a fairly small, regular commercial fishery from small boats that mainly catch red snapper.
Freediving for pelagic fish and whatever they can spear is also widespread around Los Cabos and La Paz. Free divers dive down and just hang in the water waiting for the fish to come to them.
One of the area is famous for getting large fish is that the divers can leave the port and be in deep water where the big fish are within ten minutes, whereas in other places you would need hours to get out into the deep water. This is what makes freediving very popular.
Another reason freediving is famous is that since it’s the peninsula, so you can get from the Pacific to the Sea of Cortez or vice versa very quickly. There is deep water in both the Pacific side and on the Sea of Cortez side. There’s a lot of catch and release to promote the preservation of the fish, and we all respect it.

Since the 15th century, the Isthmus of Panamá has been the obliged path for worldwide trade and commerce. More recently, with the expansion of the Panamá Canal, large ports abroad are renovating their facilities to to accommodate the big ships that soon will cross the canal, bringing millions of freight containers.
These days, the economy of this small country of Panamá is the envy of bigger ones, because even in the middle of the economic crisis, Panamá is booming, and according to statistics of the most important organizations in the world, will continue to grow at a rate of at least 5%.
Every city and town in Panamá has benefited with all this new economic activity, including "Casco Viejo", which is part of the San Felipe neighborhood, inside the city of Panamá. This place is also known as "Casco Antiguo", and is one of the favorites of locals and visitors to visit, due its historic colonial buildings, the narrow brick streets, old Catholic churches, picturesque houses with balconies surrounded by the sea, the Presidential Palace and many other attractions, such as the many outdoor "coffee shops", the National Theater, small arts and craft shops, the French Embassy and "The Bóvedas".
Casco Viejo will be soon be surrounded by the "Cinta Costera", which is a beautiful boulevard that goes parallel to the Panamá Bay, on Avenid Balboa until the causeway in Fort Amador, which is the entrance of the Panamá Canal.
Yes, there are plenty of boutiques in Belize that sell quality clothing, but they do so at a very high price. As an alternative for shopping in Belize, I recommend that you buy online and have the goods shipped to Belize.

In 2011 I took a short holiday in Bodrum, south-west Turkey, popular with British tourists. Enjoyed it and spent a few days looking at property, helped by several generous locals; we were driven all over to visit several locations up to 100 km away from our hotel without obligation, all offers of payment refused.
