Buddha that is a generous offer I'd like to take you up on . I'm willing to work in the kitchen doing grunt work/cleaning, etc. If you are still good with the offer, then give me a list of groceries to buy/bring, and people won't have to suffer through my cooking .

So new truck has arrived, I will have room for two anglers and two yaks. I will do my meal at the resturant to help them stay open, you know use it or loose it. They are my neighbors.

After having a chat with Makobob......count me in.

I do, however, need someone to carpool with. We can split gas in my F250 but I would prefer to chip in on gas with someone that has a vehicle that is more fuel efficient.

[monstahfish]

Yep I'm still in.

[danjor]

Still in.

Not sure if 4Runner has a better gas millage. My concern is room for the second kayak. If someone else can bring your kayak, then we can car pool in mine.

if you guys have never met Hashem, you should! He's a great guy and used to show me around SoCal whenever I was down there. If I could find the time off work I'd drive all the way down from Norcal to make this trip.

Hashem is a Cowboys fan though, so there's at least one knock against him

[Mahigeer]

Long time no see Ben.

Few days back I was talking about you to Ken.

Good to see you are around, and thanks for your kind words.

[YakDout]

What kind of truck did you get bob? I'm online at hotel serenidad in muleje right now.

[makobob]

I got a 2015 Dodge Ram 2500 Crew Cab Long bed 4x4 Super duty. Twin batteries, twin 220 amp alternators. 18" wheels should get me there, where ever there IS. BAJA or BUST!!!

So as the guys let me know where they want to go, it is game on. Time to explore the Baja, one road at a time.

[Mahigeer]

Well, last night I gently broke the news about my trip to the Mrs.
No objection and I am go 100% barring unforeseen events. This morning I watched a show by Stoked On Fishing about a boat trip to Gonzaga.
I am getting a list together as well as a list of questions. I would like to post it here if it is ok with Bob, so others can benefit from them.

Otherwise, I can PM it to Bob if he prefers.


I also found this on YouTube to get us excited about the trip:

This is the first of a series.

Thanks for the putting up team Sewer.

Not a problem if you post here. That way everyone can help answer.
Looking at the SEWER video is always fun. Yep some of us have BEEN THERE, AND DONE THAT. AND most of us keep coming back for more.
Join the club and enjoy Baja. Tight lines.

[Mahigeer]

Looking forward to make the trip with Bob and Gr8fuldude.

I will be bringing a fly rod as well, same as Gr8fuldude.

With Bob's new truck and Gr8's ability to speak Spanish, we are in good (ney) great hands.


Can a new list of anglers that going be posted? I know it may change, but it is good to know somewhat right now.

These are the people I show as being in on this trip. Help an old man out, If I missed you please let me know you soonest, if you cannot go please let me know so others might take your spot.

As to Hashem's questions. Hashem and Gr8ful will meet me at my house no later than 3:30 am on the morning of 17 October, The rest will meet us at Johnnys Shell station in El Cajon no later than 5am. 693 Hillside terrace #5a, Vista 92084, is my address. Johnnys shell is at 67 and N. Magnolia ave 515 N. Magnolia in El Cajon just off of the 8. There is off street parking for Hashem ang Gr8ful at my place.
We will not be stoping for pesos. Your USD will spend in Baja but the rate might sufferso if you want pesos you need to get them before the trip.
Once we get to my place the nearest place to buy anything is in Gonzaga about 10 miles by road, so you need to bring everything you need. We usually make 2-3 ice runs during the trip. They do have water, soda, beer but at a preimum.
If you want to vacuum bag that is up to you. Usually the first half of the trip we only keep fish for meals. The last half we keep fish to come home. Bring lots of bags as others will want to use your bagger too.
Buying groceries on the way is a no go. You will be taking fishing time from everyone. Get everything you need before leaving San Diego.
WE are 95 miles from electrical power. My generator is large enough for our needs. Bring a POWER STRIP and your chargers. Power is usually run late afternoon until bed time.
Bathrooms???? this is Baja so the restroom in quaint, flush toilet, and shower, not hot and cold. Thereare also the same at thr resturant and he rents palaps for $30 a night with room for 3-4 people which includes showers and toilet. If we eat at the restraunt and bring the meat they will charge $5.00 per person for cooking plus rice, beans whatever they have, salsa tortillas. You pay for your own drinks.
As to fish. We do not kill Roster fish, PLEASE. Totuava will land you in a mexican jail as will turtles. Best eating fish are YT, cabrilla, bass ,WSB, snapper, dorado and triggers for cevechi. Bait we usually do not bring, it is up to you but really not needed. Making bait in not usually productive, but.............................Hope this helps, as to bedding I have extra cots but they are old. I use a cot and sleeping bay, sleeping on the ground is not good. Snakes, scorpions, bugs. Usually space inside for cot and bag. Some use the camprite tent cot. Some use a tent. Your choice, just remember three of us will be traveling in one truck, so if you dont need it leave it home. BRING enough fishing tackle, there are no tackle stores. Crockodiles, Iron, cast masters, repalas and lead heads and plastics. Make sure your rods, reels, drags are ready. Hope this answers your questions. Tight lines.

I think the best thing you can do is to bring a cooler and bring the meats and veggies with you. I can cook the first or early days for you so that the food will still be fresh. Just PM me on what you want me to cook for you and I will tell you what to buy.

I would recommend wheeleez carts.

Is there still room on the Baja bus to fish town for one more?

There is room and the bus is not full yet. I can lead you guys to fish but the rest is up to you.
I got back this afternoon. Bass, triggers, cabrilla, corvina, Sierra, roosters, needlefish, seen or caught........ 3 GROUPER to 200lbs caught last week at island. Taxman was NOT to be scene. Whale shark and turtles hanging around. Yt and dorado seen in area. Also Skippies. You just never know, water temps were 88 degrees and winds were less than 10mph wind temps 85 low at night 105 high. Tight lines, Disney Land trip is coming soon, tight lines.
