RECYCLE NEWS:  Our next recycle day is Thursday, June 2.  As always, we can use volunteers to come help us separate, sort, stomp, squash, and load.  We had a wonderful crew last month and filled TWO trucks and trailers to the brim.  Good Job Los Barriles!!
This will be the LAST recycle day until next October 6, so please bring in your prepared recycles to the East Cape RV Resort on main street (20th de Noviembre) behind Baja Homes and Lands/Otra Vez center, between 9:30 and 11:00 am next Thursday.  Also, please make a donation so we can pay our drivers and gas.  With everyone's donations, we almost break even some months, so this keeps our program going.  NO ONE is making money with recycling in this infant stage in Baja, so we need your support.

Eastcapers Newspaper Advertising

        Thanks to most of our advertisers who dropped-off their payment and ad changes to Hector at Wolfe Management by the due date. There are still a couple of advertisers who have not yet done so. If you still want to place an ad in the June issue, this Friday is the final day.
       The reason we are asking everyone to drop-off their payment is because it has been taking an average of 3-4 visits per advertiser to get the payment and any ad changes. Given the current economic climate, we are trying to keep the advertising costs as low as possible. All of these visits is costing money and time and talking away from one of the reason the newspaper is printed in the first place. That is to provide support to the children’s art programs. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation and thank you for helping the Asociación de Artes bring the arts to the local children.

FISHING REPORTS

       Just a note regarding the smokehouse fish reports . . . . . . our crew compiles only firsthand information on a daily basis from the docks at Palmas, Playa, Verdugos, and Rancho Leonero. Flota Verde is also included because they use the hotel docks. Our crews do not count flags as they can be deceiving for many reasons. First, the crews may not have enough flags and second they sometimes use one species flag for a different species if they don't have that particular flag. Also colors can be deceiving from a distance. And finally, you know how boat captains memories can get a bit distorted when asked to reflect upon their day on the water, i.e. how many, how big, etc. In fact, our studies indicate a direct correlation between cerveza and the tendency to either forget and/or exaggerate.
       Anyhow, we have a daily form which is filled out as the charters arrive and the info includes # boats, anglers, fish counts, species, location landed, and bait vs. lures. We also take alot of pics. We are not permitted on the docks at Spa Buena Vista although we can pick up fish to process from their clients upon request. As such we do not include those fish counts in our reports. They catch plenty of fish there too but we just do not compile any hotel info that is not firsthand. I should mention that we do have a great working relationship with Hotel Spa Buena Vista and we do promote them on our website and we are permitted to promote our smoking service on site.
       We do compile info from Jen Wren Sportfishing, Marlintini Sportfishing, Awesome Sportfishing, and Cuyuyo's Pangas even if we do not encounter those charters on the docks. Additionally, we appreciate any info from the "local guys and gals" that fish the waters on a regular basis. You locals can always feel free to submit any info or story related to fishin' including pics. We are glad to post this info on our weekly reports giving full faith and credit to those providing the info.

What do you think, want to put some tuna or dorado on ice? We would like two anglers, could do three.
