Excellent location to base a Predator drone. Now you see em'----now you don't...Probably wouldn't even have to target anything---just make frequent low lake passes over their heads and "wiggle" it's wings a little...

I like the way you think bud. When I was in Afghanistan last year....I worked very closely w/ the "Scan Eagoe" and "Predator" guys.....you wouldn't believe what those things can do. It would definitely remedy this border problem, not only are they an effective strike weapon....but they are also a largely effective psych weapon. You don't hear them...see them, etc. All of the sudden stuff just starts going BOOM all around you. That is bound to have a psychological effect!!

[Gobbler Fan]

Maybe they were actually Mexican Border Patrol stopping Illegal Immigration into Mexico ... :D

[MUSTANG69]

Do we ask for identification before we blow them out of the water. I don't think we should. Shoot now ask questions later.:D

That was a smart move. Boycott the people that provide 25% of your electricity. What a bunch of DAs.:rolleyes:

Said article:

McALLEN — Heavily armed Mexican freshwater pirates have been shaking down U.S. boaters on Falcon Lake, a reservoir and bass fishing haven that straddles the Rio Grande.

At least three such incidents have been reported since April 30, the latest on Sunday, according to a Texas Department of Public Safety warning issued Tuesday that linked the muggings to northern Mexico's increasing lawlessness.

According to descriptions of the incidents, the robbers — in at least one case posing as Mexican federal law enforcement officers — searched fishermen's boats for guns and drugs, then demanded cash at gunpoint.

One of the incidents reportedly occurred on the U.S. side of the lake.

“The robbers are believed to be members of a drug trafficking organization or members of an enforcer group linked to a drug trafficking organization who are ... using AK-47s or AR-15 rifles to threaten their victims,” the DPS statement said. “They appear to be using local Mexican fishermen to operate the boats to get close to American fishermen.”

It was unclear why sport fishermen were targeted, but the warning comes only a few weeks before bass fishing tournaments that are among the South Texas border region's biggest tourist draws.

DPS spokesman Tom Vinger said the warning was issued in part because of the upcoming tournaments.

Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez said he would be discussing security concerns with tournament participants and has been reviewing protective measures with the DPS Border Security Operations Center and the region's Fusion Center, a federal information clearinghouse for terrorism prevention and response.

Reported victims included:

• Five people in two boats who were approached by four tattooed men April 30 claiming to be “federales” near the church at Old Guerrero, a once-submerged town on the Mexican side of the lake. The men boarded their boats, demanded cash and asked “where are the drugs?” They then took $200 from the Americans and followed the boats until they re-entered U.S. waters.

• Three fishermen who were approached May 6 by a boat containing two men who pointed AR-15s — the civilian version of the U.S. military's M-16 assault rifle — at them. One boarded the fishing boat, searched for drugs, cash and guns, chambered a round in his rifle and told the fishermen he would shoot them if they did not give him money.

• Boaters on the U.S. side of the lake who were approached by a boat containing five armed men on May 16, according to second-hand reports that reached law enforcement officers. The DPS said it couldn't confirm if the boaters had been robbed.

Tuesday's notice urged fishermen to stay as far as possible from any of the Argos-type boats typically used as fishing vessels by Mexican fishermen, which DPS said had large prows, small outboard motors without cowling and no identification numbers on the hulls.

Boaters on the lake also were urged to stay within U.S. waters and file a float plan with family members.

Falcon Lake is an approximately 60-mile-long reservoir on the Rio Grande fronting Starr and Zapata counties on the Texas side and shared between the United States and Mexico. It was formed by a dam in 1953 to conserve water for agriculture and control downstream flooding.

I don't know about yall but I don't see nothing wrong with that article.
Two shotguns and two .45s with a party of four would take care of that problem quick.:nerd:

I applaud your post! Shunny fit!:clap: :clap:

[Ranger354]

Been on Falcon many times, and actually was shot at many years ago by small arms (22cal. ) fire. I have never taken a shotgun or pistol fishing with me and neither are any match for AKs or ARs. If you venture to the Mexican side then you are in their country. THAT doesnt give them to right to threaten you, but they can sure stop and question you. Mexico is NOT the sleepy little country it used to be. Where money could buy you a darn good time. It is now a bad place with a lot more bad people out of control.

If the US would step up some patrols all this would go away. Trouble is, some one( Billy bad ass fisherman with a gun) will most likely loose a life before anything gets done.

I was there in April and fished both side of the lake and the area near the Old Town. We had No problems.

I heard the government was going to start IDing all white people to make sure they aren't illegals from Canada.
