1 oz or 1.5 oz crocs work fine. Other that my 49lb WSB I caught on a 2 oz croc I haven't had as much luck with the large crocs.
My best advise it to bring lot of them with a least 24" to 36" wire leaders
Those sierra were a blast but they took a lot of my silver/chrome

My experience is the fish bite on anything and everything in Baja.

If you have a set up that you're really comfortable throwing jigs and own several jigs, bring that, you'll do well.

If on other hand you use swimmers like rapala, waxwings etc, bring that set up and use it. You'll have a 100 fish day.

If the fly is what you excel with, you can't lose.

What I'm trying to say is, "fish the same way, same rig, same technique, and same lures that works best for you here, and you have unbelievable days there".

Last year I made five lures from metal crate straps, and lost all but one to fish. They were crummy workmanship and looked awful. Just get your favorite type of lure in the water and hold on to your rod.

Do it your way and you'll have excellent days with sore arms. Then you'll have plenty of time to rest your arms from all that pulling while learning a new technique from others down there with you.

Me too. Talking to Momo at the Catalina Mole this past weekend, got me all excited.

Go to google maps and type in Gonzaga Bay, Baja in the search bar.
Bobs place is approx 10 miles north of the bay just north of bufeo, on the Sea of Cortez side

Josh, nothing is stopping you except your self, your boss, your wife, your other interests and who knows what else.

Guy's if you really want to do a trip YOU and only YOU can make it happen. If you make it a high priority you can do it. If not you will be 75 and wonder what happened to all your DREAMS. Someone else lived them, maybe it was Rossman and Makobob. Put it off a year, then your wife is PG and guess what? 10 years pass before you can even think about it again. At least YOU have someone you can blame. LIFE GETS in the way, ALWAYS. Tight lines.

Makobob, I sent you a pm, but I might as well post on the thread as well. I realize I am brand new to the board, but I would love, love, love to get in on this if there is still room. Like, I might spontaneously combust if it can happen. As it is, there is nothing holding me back. I've got the time off, and both bosses (the work one and the home one) have given the green light.

Makobob, you just described me to a tee, as my wife will be undergoing IVF this Fall, and well, this will be my last shot at something this epic for a while (hopefully not 10 years though!). I realize I'm the new guy, so here's my introduction--fishing machine but I have a lot to learn regarding kayak fishing, armed with both conventional and fly, fully bilingual (y enamorado de mexico), and a team player first and foremost.

If there's still room, this trip would be a dream come true. And reading the various posts and highlights from last year, this really seems like a great group of guys. Not to sound too desparate, but I'm willing to be submit to any drug or psychological testing if necessary

GR8fuldude,

Maybe we can carpool together, if there is room at the "inn".

I am new to kayak, but not fishing.


I have all the camping gear for trip like this if needed.
