BAJA or BUST 2017 Trips - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

makobob · 10-13-2015, 03:27 PM

Sven and Steve are at my place. Danny and friends are at a palapa in front of restaurant and leaving tomorrow. Sven might have caught a 30+# Jack Cravelle, so there are big fish in the area. He called to let me know that the guys working on the concrete floor were doing a great job. Floor should be done TOMORROW, then maybe the outside ramp will be done Friday. Means I can start on the inside soon. Happy days are here again!!!!!! Tight Lines and fishy dreams.
See you guys 84 hours from NOW at Johnny's Shell Station. Paradise here we come AGAIN!!! You too can ride the BAJA EXPRESS.

Still using those 1-2 inch shiny lures? I hope so since I cleaned out tackle warehouse of their 1/4 oz. kastmasters in chrome and chrome/blue today.

So you get them Thursday or Friday, did you get larger/stronger hooks, split rings and split ring pliers? Of course you have a light spinning outfit to cast them with and wire to keep from being cut off. Jeff the small stuff will catch all year long many times BETTER than the BIGGER baits. Remember if you want to work deeper water the larger faster sinking jigs work too. Mega baits from small to large, Surface iron, deep iron for Yo Yoing all work..Trolling BIG REPALAS trolled just off the rocks can be deadly too. MANY techniques to choose from, most of them work, right now today it is YOUR call. Tight Lines.

Drove today for two hrs. to get OWNER single replacement hooks.

They are made to replace the treble hooks.

They are suppose to be strong. Will see.

makobob · 10-14-2015, 07:09 AM

Never straightened out an OWNER hook yet!! Hashem they should be fine.
Jeff bring them all, someone might want to buy a few from you.

Never tasted one Rob but I do know that the Rose Snapper and OM Corvina you took home to mom were MUCH better. Tight Lines partner.

While waiting to see my doctor this afternoon I received a second phone call from Sven with an update. Sven and Steve caught two yellow tail today. He said every time they got the yaks up to trolling speeds they were bit. WFO mostly SIERRA, BASS, TRIGGERS, but fish after fish, after fish!!! The small mega baits and rapala type lures too. SILVER, SILVER, SILVER WFO!!!!! He said one YT was small 4 pounds.

GUYS bring a light outfit just to have a ball with. I will be surprized if anyone on this trip does not have a hundred fish day if they wanted one. a light spinning rod or a fly rod should be just the ticket, I will bring my 8 wt. to play around with.

In other news the cement floor inside our place is DONE, Sven said it looked good and they were working on the entrance ramp. So our new place is coming along just fine.

60 hours till we meet up at Johnny's Shell station, is EVERYONE ready for a fishing trip to paradise???? Tight Lines and fishy dreams.

Mahigeer · 10-14-2015, 05:47 PM

Thanks for the update Sir.

These hot days we are having in LA are like "Spring training" for fishing in Baja.

I got lots of small lures, maybe I should get more!!

Two fly rods and homemade flies to experiment with.

See you in Vista soon.

Was the trolling speed reached with Mirage drive or paddles? My guess is the Mirage drive.

stop playing around, bring some big boy tackle, hike out to the bird shit rock at bufeo at low tide and catch one of these, in ten feet of water....

...i was chasing yellow snapper around a rock when i went face to face with this big mother.

makobob · 10-14-2015, 06:33 PM

Way to go Danny, been feeding those puppies for years. Yep it is hard to get the guys in close enough the other problem is that they almost always rock you. Nice fish?
