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

Knock on wood that I am not superstitious, but my fortune cookie tonight said:
“You will enjoy the twisted road, if you don’t expect it to be straight.”

Now if it had said A twisted road, that would have been something.

One week to go.

Too bad it's paved the whole way.

Just back from paradise, passed Danny on the road as we were coming back. They will do good. Water was nice. Temps were good but still warm. 90's but LOW humidity so not too bad. Sven and Steve took Rob to the deep reef in Gonzaga. I will let Rob tell the rest of that story.

BRING WIRE and SMALLER jigs, fish are targeting 1-2" bait. TON'S of Sierra, lot's of Corvina, bass, triggers, rose snapper. small mega baits but BEEF up all the small hooks. OR YOU WILL LOOSE FISH, some of them BIG fish. BIG fish just love to straighten out those small trebles. In SIX days those going will catch.
Tight Lines.

Welcome back. That was a short trip.

Did you get any work done, or just dropped off the material?

Great to hear the fish are there and biting.

I don't know if I could use metal leader on the fly rod? I will call a fly shop.

I guess I will have to see what happens.

Thanks for the tip on hook replacement.

Hashem it is YOUR outfit. JUST DO IT, your worry would be to damage your rod tip if you were to hit it, and your fly has a small piece of lead so it could damage your rod. I was fishing a deceiver years ago and had it happen, but it is not something that would normally happen. I do not worry about it. With sierras you will be cut off a lot!!! They are everywhere now to over 32"'s. Short 6" wire will work and BTW put anything SILVER or FLASHY as part of your fly. They will ALL get bit but............................................... ......Flashy is better, the bait is silver, (match the hatch). Tight lines, fishy dreams.
