Feliz Ano Nuevo - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

makobob · 08-08-2014, 10:02 AM

Happy New Year!!! Baja or Bust is spending New Years in Gonzaga this year. Last year we did Asuncion it was a good trip. This year we will spend New Years in Gonzaga. We will leave San Diego on the early morning hours of 30 December and return on the 6th of Jan, 2015.
Chuck D, who bought my Hobie AI, suggested this trip. He is planning on fishing the Island, Isla San Luis, which is 5 miles off the beach infront of our place. I would think this should be an overnight trip spending the night on the island, maybe two nights. I have not heard about any kayaks fishing the island. Grouper, cabrilla, WSB, snapper are all residents of the island. I have caught Grouper over 200 lbs, and pargo over 25 pounds within a couple miles of the island. Room for at least 4 more anglers. Tight lines. FULL MOON 5 Jan.

Ok Ross, i will put on as a possible. Does that mean you are not going to renew your license and insurance?

Yellows have been know to inhale them on a fast surface retrieve too.

So for this NEW YEARS EVE trip we have Chuck, and me for sure, with Ross and my partner RobMoney as possibles, so there is room for 4-6 more. Being a party we can have more people for this trip. So if you are interested...................... Welcome, join the PARTY.

New Years in Gonzaga. 12 years ago I spent Christmas and New Years here. The water was warm enough to swim in, say mid to upper 70's. Could be he same this year. Warm water means better fishing. and the winds might be lighter than normal.

ROBMONEY and I are going down this weekend to spend a day working on the camp and a day fishing. Camp should be SECURE and lockable before we leave on Monday. So we will have more space to camp and cook soon, maybe by years end. This NEW YEARS trip to Gonzaga has room for YOU to join us in paradise, BTW the 1st drink is on me!
HAPPY NEW YEAR.

EastLosYaker, aka Kevin has joined this trip, another school teacher. Should be a good trip. Room for more.

makobob · 10-30-2014, 12:50 PM

So far this trip consists of Makobob, Chuck D, EastLosYaker for sure and ROBMONEY and Rossman as possibles. After an El Nino weather could be great or bad, but would expect mild temps with winds at 10-15 max and protected areas to fish.

Should be some good cabrilla hanging around and corvina too, still lots of spotties and who knows who else might be home. Bring a warm jacket as the evenings could get cool. If you want a fire in the evenings bring a bundle of fire wood. See you soon.

Chuck D · 12-08-2014, 01:07 PM

Dave that would not be a problem. We caravan from here to my place in Gonzaga on the morning of the 30 th of Dec. You would just leave from Gonzaga a couple of days before us for the trip home. Jim did that for our last trip. Once you know how tp get there it is easy to get home. With fair weather you woud get an evenng session and 4 full days in paradise. Let me know.

PapaDave · 12-09-2014, 02:07 PM

I'm in, are the details posted in the Baja or Bust forum?

Nope. At 5:30 am on 30 Dec we will all meet at Johnnys Shell Station in El Cajon. 515 N. Magnolia just off the 8. We will leave from here before 6 am.
Caravan to our place just north of Gonzaga. You will need your gear with sleeping bag and cot. Each of us will be responsible for one nights dinner for everyone. Bring your own water, drinks, snacks and ice. I will bring bacon and eggs for 3 breakfasts. Bring what you want for lunch. All safety gear, remember your radio and Mexican fishing license. If you want a campfire bring a bundle of wood. your own silverware. We might eat dinner in town one night so bring an extra $20. If you have other questions pm me. You might want something for NEW YEARS and bring a jacket just in case.

makobob · 12-10-2014, 07:45 PM

Just like Ross, you're killing me Bob!

Just confronted the W/C insurance company about the delay in authorizing a request for a series of epidurals as they have had 2 months in which to respond! And as things would happen, my orthopedic surgeon had a last minute opening to perform a surgery yesterday he had requested but due to the lack of operating theaters available could not schedule to perform. Even If I receive my epidurals in the next few weeks my appointment to see him was been re-scheduled for the 30th!
I just can't catch a break! ! !
