Mr. PukaShell,
I'm thinking about the following plan: Fish in the panga with you on the 20th and have the panga drag my kayak out to the island as we go out. I leave my kayak and camping gear on the island while we fish. When we are done fishing I get dropped off (and anyone else that wants to camp out at the island with me) and camp out at the island the night of the 20th. I kayak fish all day on the 21st around the island, camp out again on the night of the 21st. In the early morning of the 22nd, the panga can pick me up, we fish in the panga, and then the panguero can pick up and drag my kayak back to the mainland when we are done fishing around the islands on the 22nd. If we did this plan, I wouldn't mind paying a larger portion of the panga expenses, since some (but hopefully not much) time would be taken dragging the kayak out and back. Of course, any and all are welcome to join me for the island camping/kayak fishing adventure. I'm open to any modifications to this plan, but I wanted to put this out there for starters. Thinking about doing this panga/kayak camping adventure kept me awake last night!! |

Sounds good to me if that works with the Capt. We will work out any money issues. As far as dragging a Kayak that is no problem for me.
Looking forward to this trip Quote:

How far is it to the island? I may sail/troll out there with an adventure island and camp out with you guys. I think the plan would be to troll out to the island, drop the amas/sail and fish it kayak style. I haven't spent any time using it without the amas yet so I'll have to try it at LJ in the next week or two.

I spoke to Travis and we be carpooling. There are a few things that we will need to work out due to the distance we live apart from each other.
Bob, I think I read that you have a stove there. Is that true or should I bring the one I have? Thanks, |

Always a good idea to have at least one backup camp stove. If you have room please bring it. I know that Makobob has at least one camp stove.

I'll be bringing a JetBoil with plenty of fuel. Pretty much only good for boiling water but people are welcome to use it. Can be used for instant coffee, oatmeal, soup, or anything else that can be cooked in hot water.

One more question, how big were the roosters last week? I have an 8 and a 10 weight but I would much rather use the 8 if possible.

Any suggestions as what fly to use for roosters?
I have a selection of deceivers, but I have seen on YouTube about a homemade fly by a guide that worked great. |

Camp stove? I have 1 and a charcoal BBQ, bring bottle gas, small and charcoal for grill and some fire wood if you want campfire. Roosters caught in last year here. 5" hand size, 12", 10-25 pound and two in the 48-50 pound class. Cabrilla to 26 pounds, snapper to 10 lbs, Yt to 40 lbs, WSB to 50 lbs. SWEET DREAMS.

Bob,
Will we be stopping for the FMM card along the way or do we need to get one prior to the trip? From what I have been reading you have to get it stamped by the office when entering the country. Is this correct? |

Fmm cards are free at the border at the immigration office if you will be there less than 7 days. East Calexico office is open 24 hours.

I don't remember where the post is but Bob asked every one to take care of these things before hand to minimize travel time.

YES you can get it just after you cross the border on the left side of the street. Very limited parking 2-10 minutes to fill out and pay or get free one. With one or two trucks not a problem, with 5-6 trucks no parking. So if you stop you need to know how to find my place. We travel at a safe speed but you will have to catch up with the rest of us. I posted driving instructions on how to get to our place on the other sticky a few days ago.
YES they must be stamped.

I am so confused......
The last two times that I traveled to Baja, we stopped at the border. They checked my passport and I filled a card and paid $25.00 (I think). We stayed one week in Baja. I understood that it was a visa and good for 180 days. The first time I went, it was with someone who had been there (26) times before our trip. He did not say that on return, we have to send the visa to the Mexican immigration office. The second time was to fly to Cedros Island. Same again, the driver took us to an office at the border and I/we paid $25.00 and got the same visa. This time it was eight days. On the way back an attorney who was with us collected our visas and said that we have to mail them in and he will do it for us. So, I take it that visa is same as FMM? How it is that it is free in one place and not at another. I do have a valid passport, and I don't want to cause any delays. Please advise as what to do right now or should I wait until we get to the border. Thanks. P.S. I just read the information here: http://www.discoverbaja.com/go/fmm-tourist-permits/ It says for 7 days or less no charge. We will be there eight days. For us it is $28.00 plus $6.25 for postage. I don’t feel comfortable to send my CC and passport information on line. Too many eyes. Not too familiar with scan function either. Also, there is small chance that the FMM not arrive on time. Is it a big delay if we stop at the border? It was not when I did it before. Especially if we are there so early in the morning. Last edited by Mahigeer; 09-24-2015 at 06:10 PM. |
