4th of July at Mako-ville - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

makobob · 06-18-2017, 04:32 PM

OPEN invite to BWE members. I finish in San Quintin on the 24th after the Tourney. On the morning of the 25th I will travel from there thru El Roserio and Lago Chapalla to Rancho Grande, I expect to arrive in our paradise about noon. I will be in camp from then until I leave on the morning of the 6th of July. All are welcome, I plan my dinners at restaurant about 5-530 so there is time for the awesome evening bite. Who is coming?? I will be gone and out of touch so it will be up to those coming to figure how much meat to bring for restaurant to feed the crowd. I have ribs and shrimp for a couple of those nights.

HIGH 90's days, 80 at night, predicted winds BELOW 10 Mph for the week. BRING a hat, sunscreen and sunglasses, long shirts and a buff. Last trip a couple of guys looked like raccoons with burnt circles around the eyes. On the water or off you really need to cover up.

Do not bring extra gallon waters as I have over 20 but small bottles are great, I also have pleanty of paper towels, plates and toilet paper in camp. Running short on plastic sliverware, plastic cups and paper bowls.

The quad and generator are full of gas, but the Gregor which fishes two uses 3 gallons of gas a day. If you plan on using the Gregor bring some gas, preferably premium. Solar is running ok so no poblem charging your electrinics.

Post here so you can figure meals, Tight Lines and Happy 4th of July to all.

I have some time off for 4th of July. 4 days to be exact. I may be driving down If I can find a co-pilot.n

makobob · 06-19-2017, 10:10 AM

Good luck with the co pilot, don't be in a hurry, it is an easy drive. Past Mexicali it is mostly 45-65pmh. Slow for small towns and you will be fine. Hope you can make it, if not have a great 4th where ever you find yourself. Tight Lines.

I'll be there for a few days. My plan is to leave on or around the 29th and stay until the 5th. Kelly is most likely going to join me and I'll try and talk Shelley into it as well...It might be too hot for her.

Doesn't look like it's gona happen for me. I ended up getting a charter out to SCI on Saturday. So that puts a hamper in those plans.

farreola · 06-28-2017, 01:16 PM

I wish I could make it, but I am extremely busy right now. My wife and I are in the processes of taking over her family's business (Chinese restaurant). We are remodeling and revamping the business. Hopefully some of you can stop by on your way down or upon your return. The restaurant Golden Dragon is located in Calexico on Imperial Ave. That is the street that leads to the boarder. We are planning to reopen on the 1st week of July. That is if all our ducks line up.

Thats what I was thinking - I go through there too early on the way down, but on the way back it would be a perfect lunch stop...

MrPukaShell · 06-29-2017, 08:37 AM

Sounds like a great lunch spot on the way home. Good luck with the project
