I will be doing ribs on the 30th at the restaurant.

Who will be meeting me at Johnnys Shell station in El Cajon on the 24th? And who will be meeting at tha AM/PM in Calexico?

I expect to be at Johnnys at 4 am and plan to leave there at 5am and head to the AM/PM arriving there at 7am. Then on to Los Poblanos taco shop in San Filipe arriving there about 9-9:30 for breakfast. Then on into camp.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO PLAN A SEAFOOD DINNER NIGHT. If no one wants to do it then the 30th will be seafood instead of ribs.

Westfork and I were actually discussing doing a seafood paella since I just got a paella pan and burner - but the shear number of people we have on this trip killed that idea, I'd need a paella pan 3 feet across to feed the numbers...

WestFork 05-14-2017 04:55 AM
My current plan is to meet up with you in El Cajon a.m. on the 24th. :-) :-)

Of course! Even found some pre-made Wire double dropper loops @ Wally World for A Buck 70 after taxes! Are double droppers ok in Mex? Any specific regulations a newbie should be worried about or as long as we follow Cali rules we should be ok?

Stevie, WALLY WORLD, wally world you say???? limits are different in Mexico. 5 fish per day is normal, but most of us catch and release unless saving for lunch or dinner. NO TOTUAVA are kept, they are all released if hooked. Ask me in camp about any specifics.

Mahigeer 05-15-2017 03:22 PM
Only gear restriction is electric reels if I recall.

You do need a license unless you are fishing from the shore.

Five fish per day per species, except dorado which is two, marline is one (I think).


When you apply on line for license, a very short list of regulations is listed.

I got mine at a tackle store and cost me additional $10.00 since I do not read Spanish.

Thanks for the post Arkadash, you getting that truck dialed in for your next trip down? I still have you plus two scheduled for the 1st October week. See you soon.

Mahigeer 05-16-2017 06:41 AM
I will have to see what the situation is after my return from Canada.

If I do come, it will be only me.

Since I got a different car, Sentri application is under review.

I got a hi-lift jack, shovel, car cover and heavy duty plates for stuck wheels.
A hood guard and front bra are on the list.
As well as Thule Halavator kayak lift.

I will send you a PM when time comes. Thanks for asking.

Does anyone know the difference for FMM Mexicali 1 or Mexicali 2 for the port of entry via land?

The difference is Mexicali 1 is the West border crossing that we all normally use, and Mexicali 2 is the smaller East border crossing (6 miles east on the other side of town).

Mexicali 2 can be alot shorter wait at times, but it does not have a Sentri lane.

MrPukaShell 05-17-2017 10:54 AM
Border wait times shows a Sentri lanes at the East crossing

Hi guys,

I just ordered this off of Amazon specifically to take down to MakoBob's place n fish. 12 knockoff crocs for $20. Thought Id pass it along as these are known to work in Baja.
A few reviews say they rust easier in the salt so just make sure to rinse down w freshwater after each use and u should be good. Tight lines. Link above.

It is worth your time AND money to change out the split rings and hooks.

SDROB 05-17-2017 03:24 PM
Noted and definitely will do. Last time I bought the hooks n rings at Squidco and they did it for me.

Thanks homie!

Actually the Sentri wait time is usually shorter in the East port, and for those that do not have Sentri but have a passport ID card can go through the Ready Lane wish is less time than the regular West port. The West port does not have Ready Lane at this time.

Weather
 
From what I can see it looks like, 90's daytime, mid 70's nights and winds below 10 out of the ESE, for most of the week. This is the San felipe forcast.

If you look up my previous posts, you will find a lot of answers to your questions.

Some even that you did not ask.


We meet at 5:00 AM at Johnny's Shell station in El Cajon located at 515 N. Magnolia Ave. Just off of the freeway (8) at the exit #67, N. Magnolia.

From there we stay on the freeway (8) to the exit #98, follow about 30 miles to the highway (111) and take right to border crossing, San Diego to border 125 miles.

From there we follow the highway Mex (5) thru Mexicali, follow signs to San Filipe, Puertocitos, Rio Hardy staying on the highway Mex (5) all the way to San Filipe. Another 125 miles.
Going through San Filipe take right at sign to Puertocitos/airport, go about 9 km to sign saying Puertocitos and take a left, DO NOT go to the airport.
From here is another 95 miles to camp.

VADO means dip in road and years ago they could and would take your rear axle out, SLOW DOWN for them. At km 60-65 be very careful. When you reach km 134 you went 100 yards too far. Sign to camp will say Campo Turistico and you take a left. Up until now roads are all good at (60) mph unless posted lower and passable by any car. At turn off for camp it is unpaved dirt road, [15-25] mph but bumpy. Camp is about 1/2 mile from main road.
It is suggested lowering your air pressure at turnoff on your first trip, to about (20) psi. There are/is compressor in camp. Follow until you crest hill and go down to beach, restaurant is on your left, in front of restaurant take a left and follow until you have to take a right at trees, then go 100 feet and take a left, 100 feet and we are on the left 50 yards of soft sand, stay on tire tracks at (20) mph to top, park left by garage.
The sand on the beach can be very soft at times.

WELCOME TO PARADISE.

Glad it is helpful, but I think there is an error.


"follow about 30 miles to the highway (111) and take left to border crossing, San Diego to border 125 miles."


I think it should read "take right to the border crossing.."

You suggested reducing tire pressure.... Pardon newbie question, but is this for 4-wheel drives only, or will I be okay with 2-wheel drive and reduced tire pressure?

The last 1/2 mile is on a dirt/sand road. 4 wheel drive not needed. Tha last 200feet can have soft sand and you could get stuck, most do not get stuck but if it happend we can easily pull you out. STOP when you get to the two rows of treesbushes. Get out and walk the last 200feet, look at how soft or hard the sand is, talk to me and decide, my quad had pulled some out and the trucks can all handle a pull so no problem. If you try it just build as much speed as you can to top the small rise.

battleborn 05-21-2017 08:42 PM
9hrs to start the adventure to paradise. See you all there
