 Re: Fishing in Mexico
Just my experience, and what I read in spanish in the local newspapers.
Mazatlan is a port that moves a lot of drugs, is a large city with poor agricultural and dock workers in Sinaloa, which is probably one of the toughest states after Juarez, Loredo, and Mexico City.
I have been going to Cabos since the innaguaracion of the finnistierra in the middle 60's, and time and growth has affected this little town that depends so heavily on american turists. Offseason is worse, but you have to be careful these days about using ATM's, cabs at night, and the back areas of San Jose de Cabos are pretty rough if you believe the crime page in the local spanish newspapers.
PV is most affluent of the 3 and the place is crawling with cops. This is true for much of the central mainland cities that seem to have a lot more budget than the poor baja or less dense northern mainland states. Here the affluent tourists come from Mexico as much or more so than the ststes, and the place is booming economy wise. The influx of american companies, banks and franchises has added more security orientation than ever with rent a cops suplimenting the minicipal, state, federal, and afi special police stationed there, as well as a large navy base.
I looked for some crime stats to back this up, but if you read the english internet, no one has ever been robbed, raped or killed in any of these large tourist areas.
So all I can say is this summation is common street knowledge and my opinion after living here permanently for 30 years.
