Baja report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Billy V · 01-06-2014, 10:59 AM

Went down there in 2010 with a few BWE guys. Kayaks, Porta-Boats, and Panga.

It was insane fishing. Those yellowtail are MUCH stronger than what we are used to in LJ. Even the little 25 lbers beat you up.

My JX 2 speed drag was smoked by the end of the trip. lol
Luckily Avet gave us a couple of Pre-production JX Raptors to test out on the trip - much better!

On one of the days we all (4 guys) fished on the Panga. For several hours we had Non-Stop 4 Way Hook Ups on these crazy fish. All deep water Yo-Yo fish in 130 - 150 ft.
We boated 30 donkey sized fish for our limits (including the Captain and his son) in one day. We lost about 10 fish to the rocky pinnacles - even with the drags buttoned down.

There was No indication the wide open frenzy was going to stop. Everyone onboard was whipped but we just could not stop.
-At one point I looked over the side and saw a school of fish that was 300 strong.

We gave a large share to the local fisherman and their families that night. It was awesome.

The following day we packed up our gear and headed to L.A. Bay for a few days to do some fishing.

More insanity.
