Gonzaga Bay April 2014

[buddha]

I saw Defjack on the water yesterday and he said that he is going to come on the trip. I told him to contact you to confirm and also told him that we will have a meeting of everyone sometime in March. He lives in Santa Monica.

[makobob]

As of Feb 17, we will be camping on the future site of Fresh2Death/ Baja or Bust fish camp at Las Encatadas, just 10 miles north of Gonzaga bay. Anglers attending are: Ckallday71, Walrus and friend, Svendawg, Buddha, Defjack, and Johnny5. Some will leave on the 10th, others will leave on the 14th. We will meet to work out cooking, driving arraingements middle of March. Any one else interested in this trip please post here or pm Makobob. Thanks.

I talked to Defjack today and he will drive down to Punta Bufeo in his truck and he is looking to share gas expenses. He can hold two kayaks on his truck.

As of today, the Baja Nomad Site is reporting the paved highway has now passed Rancho Grande mini mart and the Premex station. Pictures on Rancho Grande's facebook page.

If you were considering visiting the area, now is the time. If it's on your kayakers bucket list, in a year of two it won't be the same.

Anyone needing transportation for this trip, contact Defjack as he is looking for a rider. Save some gas money, make a new friend. Wally is right, now that the road goes all the way to Gonzaga there will be more people coming down. I figure within 5 years there will be more fishing preasure on the area. Now is a good time to fish the areas between Las Encantadas and Punta Final. Robmoney and Makobob NOW have a place to stay for just the cost of water. A 17'x40' covered concrete pad, with room to camp, cook, and shower. We start framing the walls on the weekend of the 8-9th of March. Have 8 people coming down for this construction weekend. Might get 2 walls framed and more sand moved,this will be a working weekend, then 20-24th will be a fishing trip there, then THIS trip on the 10-20th of ARPIL, anyone interested in any of these trips, just post or PM me. Thank you BWE, this is a FISH CAMP for all of us. DREAMS do come true. Work hard, play hard, FISH HARDER.

Just flew back from Scorpion Bay in a friends plane (yesterday). He buzzed
the Gulf side and yes the pavement is about 8 miles South of the Pemex.

CKallday71 contacted me yesterday with the news that life got in the way and he will not be attending this trip. Sometimes life is difficult and things do not work out, BUT we will toast his birthday and wish him better luck for next year.

Most of us will leave on the 10th of April. Pre-trip meeting will be on the 30th of March at Tidelands Park, fishing early, planing starts at noon. Hope we can all get together then.

ANGLERS ARE: Svendawg, Walrus, John, Johnny5, Makobob, Lives4thrills, Defjack, and our CHEF Buddha. This should be an AWESOME trip, done at the right time of the year and with 9-10 days to FISH!!!!!

We have 8 confirmed and there is room for a few more, so if you are ready and able let us know. All are welcome to join us for this trip. 5 weeks left.

[makobob]
