Here are the trips I am planning to take to mako-ville this
year. If you want to join me in paradise please respond to

On short notice I sometimes just decide to come down and
add that here. Feel free to join us on any OPEN trip. Feb
thru April are spur of the moment unless someone gives me
dates they want to take a SPRING break in paradise.

MAY 3rd week CORVINA EXPLORATORY We will start fishing
somewhere north of El Dorado Ranch, outside of San Felipe.
This will be a beach camping trip, roughing it. We will end up
the last couple of days camping in mako-ville, with hot
showers and eating at the restaurant. This will be an OPEN
TRIP. Kayaks and fishing from the beaches, we will take all
our cooking gear and community cook meals. Hopefully I will
be on crutches and can still make ths happen. I may have to
move thip trip until May.

20-28 June HALIBUT TOURNAMENT in San Quintin. 20 June
I will spend in mako-ville, 21 June I will drive to Don Eddies
in San Q and get ready for the tourney on the 23rd. This is
my annual BIRTHDAY Trip. I will again host a sea food dinner
that FRIDAY night the 22nd at Don Eddies. We fish the
following morning. The dinner, NOT DRINKS is free to each
paid tournament entry. This year I will open the tourney to
all boats, kayaks, canoes, float tubes with or without motors,
local residents and panga captains too. Everyone on board
the boat must be a PAID entry except the captain, mate.
HOWEVER if the captain and mate wish to fish they too must
be paid. ANYONE who wants to put their money in the pot
can fish. All fish MUST be caught on rod and reel. BIGGEST
HALIBUT wins. PUT in the water at 6am and MUST be at Don
Eddies to weigh in no later than 6pm. This is OPEN to all,
after tourney I return to mako-ville for a few days of fishing.

Hello my friend Roberto,

This year may be a little lean for me, but I HAVE to make it down in October if not sooner. I'll get you some dates as we draw closer. Looking forward to seeing you in paraiso amigo!

Cool
 

Looks like fun. Never fished there. :reel:

Week two in October!

:cheers1:
Let me know what Makoville needs and i will bring it!:cheers1:

Week 2 in October, as of now all we need is someone capable of landing a big rooster on 2-4-6lb test, record time anyone?

what is the current record? We wouldn't have access to a registered scale. I boated a few pigs on 12 lb test last year. I think that is an awesome ide though..light line week for monster Pez Gallo!

do you mean to tell me that someone actually landed a 55lb rooster on 8lb test? that is beyond epic......

Yes Dom, but remember most all roosters fought on light tackle DIE. They fight their hearts out and almost never recover. So while a record, it strikes me as a total waste of the resource in fish over 50 pounds, on smaller fish there are many of them in the school. Just my 2 cents worth.

I completely agree with this statement Bob, other than going for the record on heavier line hoping for a monster. We've had a few roosters die on us using heavier gear, so tiring one out from a boat with 8 lb test over 2 or 3 hours does not seem ethical to me. If all you care about is getting your name in the books, you're in the wrong sport.

Personally I don't care if theyre 50 lbs or 1 lb, its my favorite fish in the ocean and I love to catch em, especially on the fly.

That October Roosterfish trip sounds awesome.

ALMOST everyone who has made the trip seems to come back year after year. We did sea one chasing mullet this May. So my hopes for another banner year are running high. Tight Lines amigos.
