MAG BAY 2019 10 August to 24 August
Last year this trip got canceled due to a bone infection which caused the amputation of my left foot. This is an OPEN trip/caravan to Mag Bay. Mostly we will fish the inside with light tackle. Beach camp and probabally comunity meals for breakfast and dinner. I am bringing both an 8wt and a 10 weight fly rods, maybe a 5 wt too. A 15-20 pound spinning setup and a heaver rod in case we get a window to fish outside the bay.
We will leave San Diego on the 10th of August and head south. Not sure the route yet, Maybe non stop to Asuncion for the first night. That is between 12-13 hours most times. Stopping for fuel in El Rosario and a meal and fuel in Jesus Maria. Then on to Asuncion for maybe a stop at Rossmans for a resupply for things he cannot get down there. Good coffee beans, a real steak or two, american chicken, and a few Salas 6x jrs and megabaits for sure. Second morning off to Mag Bay. This is an open trip and moore information is to be found on our Facebook page, "Mako-ville". Please ask your questions there, thanks guys Tight Lines. ALL my trips for 2019 can be found on our Facebook page.

I'm considering it again. Trying to get my van set up to haul extra ULSD so I can make the trip. Last place to have it is Jesus Maria so I got to do some figuring then Insurance will be a lot

This was the second time I made the same trip with that Dodge Ram, and we got 15 miles to the gallon on that trip.

I think you can get away without using ULSD but I don't think the system likes it. I also don't think my sprinter likes having 7.5 liters to much oil put in the motor but that's what you get when you have a highly trained Mercedes technician changes your oil. True story. El Cajon Mercedes if your wondering. Sorry still a little sore about that one.
Thanks for the offer on the fuel cans. I may take you up on a couple. I'm getting a couple new swing bumpers. One for a large box and the other for a spare tire. The box will have a rack on top to hold 3-4 cans. With 3 cans my safe range would be 600 miles. That should be close I think. I need to look at a map. |

I asked what year your van is because if it’s like pre 07-08 it’s fine. All they did with ULSD was lower the lubricity of the fuel which is a bad thing. 07+ trucks are more sensitive. But high sulfur fuel is actually better for a fuel system. |
