Mexico Trip

[ful-rac]

Well where do I begin...about a month or so ago, we came up with the brilliant idea of heading somewhere down to mexico for some WFO rockfish and halibut...well, long story short....that's not what we found...

We ended up at a place called Castros Camp, in Erindira. I've heard many good things about this place, and how good the fishing was or is....we wanted to find out if it was good fishing from a kayak.

So passports in hand we head south for the border.



Checking out the Scenery








The Restaurant guy ED, Cool dude






We didn't catch many fish but we had a great time, it was and adventure for sure, especially the launches and landings. We were shittn our pants on the way out and on the way in...except for greg...we almost all got destroyed by a couple of huge swells, that I swear should have taken us all out.

Highlight of my trip was launching on the 2nd day and meeting up with jim who was patiently waiting, watching the break and swell. Launches here can be tricky with all the giant boiler rocks that are around. We had to squeeze between 2 giant boilers with a few smaller boilers in between with a 3-5 foot break. So Jim thought he had it figured out....he was telling me wait....wait....let this one go by...wait...OK GO GO GO!!!! Ok here we go.....then I see it coming...oh sheeeiiit!!!! The wave is building...but were committed no turning back now...I peddle, sorry pedal as hard as I can with my PA, I see a wall of green water...I'm not going to make it...the wave is at least 2' over my head...Im thinking it's over...the wave crashes right on my face, blows my hat right off my head...and when everything settles, Im right side up and safely on the other side. I look to my left and see Jims kayak upside down, then I look in front of me and still notice that Im still in the kill zone...Im thinking jim your on your own....sorry The next wave is coming so I haul ass into it and barely make it over that one, then I'm home free...boy..was that not fun. Some how jim rights his kayak and makes it over to the rest of us soaked completely...but wide awake..

I wish I could tell you guys that we caught a shitload of fish...but we didn't...oh well next time.
I'm sure some of the boys will post up some of their own personal stories and pictures.

Yep...for those of you that think we suck your right!
