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

Mahigeer · 10-07-2015, 07:22 PM

I hope the regulars that are going early, leave some fish for the rest of us.

I am seeing the "light at end of the tunnel" when it comes to preparation for the trip.

Even got some Pesos the other day.

Hashem, there will be plenty of fish for us. There are miles of rubble that NEVER get fished. Almost no one fishes the island. Trucks can be loaded and it is possible to fish, anywhere from Puertocitos to Gonzaga, or Punta Final. That is 45 miles to choose from. Catch all the fish,
I THINK NOT!!!

Are you all planning a trip to the freaking Galapagos Islands? Paved road, plenty of gas stations...beautiful location with lots of chrome eating fish in Mexico. Cook on your night. Bring ice. Enough said.

If DefJack cracks a smile at you...it doesn't necessarily mean anything...

Clean up after yourselves...including the bathroom if you made the mess...only you will know...

Don't make the cook clean up their dirty pots and pans after prepping and cooking...

Lazy slugs who think others will do your dirty work suck

Bring something to the table and help make this trip an epic one. Bob and Rob are incredibly generous. Pay it forward. I remember one trip someone brought some...

Mahigeer · 10-08-2015, 09:13 AM

All good points and advise.

I was kidding of course Bob about them catching all of the fish.

I am sure you figured that.

The Friday night cannot get here any sooner.

makobob · 10-08-2015, 02:58 PM

Hashem, I know how you feel, tomorrow is Friday and Rob and I will be getting there before dark, and just in time for dinner. That will give us Saturday to work on the place and get a little fishing in before heading back Sunday morning. So tonight is my Friday night and I might not sleep as I get SO excited, even if I go there every week. This place is MY Disneyland, and just for you I asked the big guy to stock fresh fish this week!!!

It's funny how we have been there so many times and yet I feel the same way. It will be hard to sleep tonight! See you tomorrow bud!

I guess thats what happens as you realize your dreams. Plywood, 2x4's, picture window and siding are going down for Rob's and my place, enough to finish the front. Also going is an 8D deep cycle battery to get the solar system for OUR PLACE to be known as ""Sueno del Mako"" or in english "Mako's Dream" up and running with power. I have one more battery but it will have to go on the next trip. This one lets me test the system and Sven will do the installation this coming week. Hopefully it will be up and running for the October trip starting on the 17th. That way we can charge electronics during the day and evenings too. Tight Lines all.

YES, well I remember that trip, SIR BUG KILLER himself brought BIG BUG TAILS for all. Juicy and sweet were they!!! Jim the freaking Galapagos would be on my bucket list, but I heard it is all a preserve now. I do not know if fishing is even alowed.

I doubt any bait or otherwise fish in Gonzaga Bay would look like these flies, but I thought I will give them a try.

It is more satisfying to catch a fish with a fly that one ties after all.

No??

I am almost done packing, but some addition of accessories to the kayak remains. It should be done tomorrow.

I may even take out for a lobster hooping trip before our trip.

makobob · 10-12-2015, 09:59 AM

All your flies will get bit, lighter colors with flash or silver normally work better. 6" wire leaders will save flies and jigs. Plastics also work well BUT you have to move them faster or the triggers will tear them up. If you are getting lots of triggers MOVE your Jigs FASTER. Works for me. Tight Lines and fishy dreams.
