GONZAGA on the FLY, OCTOBER 18-25 FLY FISHING BAJA

[makobob]

Kai, Mike and myself are going FLYFISHING 18-25 October to the Gonzaga Bay area. I expect us all to be whipped puppies. We will mostly be fishing from 0-25 feet depths, triggers, bass, grouper, YT, snapper, corvina, WSB, barracuda, and sierra, along with other exotics are all available this time of year. Have even seen rooster fish and dorado down here. I would suggest at least 2 fly rods and reels 5-10 wt with sinking lines. One or more bass outfit and a heavier outfit incase the big boys show up. The weather is usually GREAT this time of year, the winds are down and the water temps should be up. THIS could be your TRIP of a LIFETIME, and it is less than 6 hours from San Diego. Again we plan to caravan, so if interested please contact me. There is room for 3-4 more fishermen. Sharing the fuel cost between two the trip should cost us each about $300 or less, +++ tackle. Tight Lines. EXPECT fish in the 2-20 pound plus range.

I have room to take one passerger and their yak and gear in my truck, fuel for this trip should be less than $250 so your share would be less than $125.

Gonzaga on the FLY is now 95 days away. MESSAGE from battleborn, I am trying to figure out how to make that work. As it stands right now I would have to drive down the 22 and would leave with you guys on the 25. Not sure if you would have the room. U have no Idea how bad I want to hit it with my 8wt. thanks again. Is jeff going on this trip?

Yes there is room for you. Jeff has not mentioned anything to me yet.

You too could join this trip. According to the book Baja Catch, these fish are normally VERY active this time of year.

Spotted Bay Bass
Trigger Fish
Corvina
Cabrilla
Yellowtail
Barracuda
Leopard Grouper
Pompano
Sierra
Pargo
DORADO, this is the month when YOU might get one on the FLY.

I have room in my truck for one person with gear and their yak. For you light tackle guys this could be the trip of a lifetime. Plan to fish both Las Encantadas AND Gonzaga, from my place to Willard is 9 miles by water. There should not be much wind this time of year and the water will be at it's warmest, that is why the dorado show up then. GONZAGA ON THE FLY!!!

I really want to go down with you guys in late October. I have just never fly fished before and have zero fly gear. Count me in. I'll have no problem getting the time off by October.

The above was sent this morning by yakDout aka Brandon. That makes 4 so far for this trip. There will be a couple extra fly rods available, we will be tying flies in the evenings if needed. Please remember to bring bass tackle and a heavy rod just in case the BIG boys show up.

There is still room for a couple more to join in on this trip, welcome aboard Brandon. Tight lines.

And now EOD has signed on for this trip, so we are down to one spot left and 2 backups. Gonzaga on the FLY this should be an awesome trip.

Getting closer, 65 days just a couple months before we head out for Gonzaga. Almost no one has fished this for the last couple months, it has been too hot. Air temps for this trip should be cooler while water temps are up. Still room for one or two.

This is going to be a special trip. Most of us will be using FLY RODS and BASS RODS.
Kai, Mike, Brandon, M. Bob, Steve, and Sven are on board. After the Sept trip, I have decided to allow another 2 people to join this trip. So this post will act as the LAST CALL.

SPOILER ALERT. 42 lb ROOSTER FISH
caught at Gonzaga on our September trip. Yep our big fish was a rooster caught on a Candy Bar from Squidco.

You might not want to miss this one.
