2 things...

Ok so I am active duty military. Was planning to move to the Corpus Christi with my wife in the middle of sept. BUT she just hit with the divorce papers... Fucking sucks.. BUT that means more fishing.. At least to me. So this just happend Friday. Plan A try to reenlist and go to Hawaii for some killer fishing.. And plan B was to try my luck and go all the way down to cabo in the yak and camp out on the beach or drive and stop at fishy places till I get to the tip.. Is this possible? I've only flew to Mexico never made it pass the border in a car.. Any advice or points of contact would be greatly appreciated or any up coming trips to Baja would be glad to join please let me know anything helps right about now.

Well if that aint a kick in the nutz.

Its possible and definitely enjoyable to drive n fish to cabo but since you dont have any idea of spots along the way you need a lot of research. I think everyone should do that at least once.

If you are serious you can get a lot of shared experience right here. Theres a lot of baja travelers on this site.

Plan B

Thank you for your service. Sorry for your circumstances. Time heals!
Consider this an opportunity to travel and fish Baja.

Fishing in Hawaii from the yak is amazing.

Driving your kayak down if definitely doable. There is some killer fishing in Baja. I usually stop at Camalu and San Quintin. San Quintin is a great spot and we always Stay at the Old Mil. They are set up for fisherman. Hell they even have rod holders in the shower so you can rinse off your reels at the end of the day. Drop your catch off at the Resturant when you get back, then go take a shower while they cook your catch. $20 later and you will have the meal of your life with the fish you just caught.

That all sounds awesome. I will definetly have to do my research and make some up-grades. But I spent 5 years in the marine corps and definetly need a break but at the same time their are worse places to spend an enlistment than Hawaii. I will let you all know my plans as soon as I can sort through everything and figure my shit out. But thank you all for the advice will definetly start send yall PM's when the time gets closer. THANK YOU!

Driving would be a lot easier than yaking your way to cabo. Lots of planning for sure to make the trip by yak. The drive is super cool. If you have 4 wheel drive, you can venture off the main roads and get to some more isolated areas. Let the forum know your plans and I am sure you will get lots of info and suggestions. Whatever you decide, stay safe and have lots of fun. Sorry to hear about your marriage. Always hate to hear someone has to go thru a divorce.

Sucks. Use the opportunity to keep yourself busy after a separation. Hawaii sounds like it can keep you busy with work and play till your ready for next step in life. Mexico will always be there to make the drive. Could be worst and be married for a while with kids and complex finances to separate.. Grrrrr

Plan A, well, depending on your MOS. My cousin hated Hawaii as an 0844 spending every other week in the field. Sucks to hear your situation, but it could be a hell of a lot worse. One of my Marines had his wife knocked up while we were in Iraq, and we found out because she got knocked up by one of the other guys in our platoons cousin! Surprised they didn't put him on suicide watch and let him keep his ammo.

If they let you re-enlist, I'd take advantage. Otherwise, plan B sounds good too!
