Bajapalooza IV - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Iceman · 05-19-2015, 06:38 PM

The slideshow

I drove down with my 77 year old dad. Met my little brother, his friend and my brother in-law. We shared Palapa #8. Day one I stepped on my first sting ray ever........................better be my last! Too much wind and too little fish and still too much fun. Great group of ol kayak fishermen to hang out with.

Weather looks pretty good out there....minus the picture that looks like everybody got a time out....

Zed · 05-19-2015, 06:52 PM

Nice work.

I see some old familiar faces. Any triple nipple?
So did you need 1st aide for the ray? Thanks Andy. Appreciate the courier/mule work.

I'm sure Greg sucked out the poison.....he works at a hospital!

Looks like great times, except for the sting ray accident. Thanks for sharing Andy.

Fish Taco · 05-19-2015, 07:27 PM

Thanks for sharing Andy... looks like good times indeed! (except for the ray incident) Great photos and perfect music to go with it!

Fun trip, a few more pics...

Zed · 05-20-2015, 08:07 AM

Sweet.
nice HST quote. We know how much fun he had.

This is a great, uncommon vantage point. Just think if it wasnt bkowin ballz you wouldnt have gotten the shot.

tattuna · 05-20-2015, 08:39 AM

Left my kayak a little too close to the waters edge. Off she went. Gonna miss her

Luckily the shore fishing wasn't half bad

Great group of guys to get stranded with. Wild winds and good times

Zed · 05-20-2015, 09:01 AM

Good pix Tattuna. Bummed about the tarpon. Sure wish we could track her. Love to know how far she goes.

Ive seen some pix of holymackerel in there. Was there any triple nipple? 3pesos a play?

EastLosYaker · 05-20-2015, 10:02 AM

Sucks about your kayak man, but I saw your post on BajaNomad and I love your attitude

"Hopefully some local kid finds it and fishes the hell out of it."

Way to stay positive bro!

To answer your question, it is at Campo Beluga in Gonzaga Bay, maybe 5 miles from Punta Final. Great area for fishing and diving.

kobra · 05-20-2015, 05:24 PM

Looks like an awesome trip Andy. Bummer on the ray encounter. Glad to see you were able to drag Kenny and Chris out of retirement.
Sorry to hear about your yak Charles.

Iceman · 05-21-2015, 10:10 AM

My only decent cabrilla is getting eaten tonight, along with the 15 pounder that Kurt traded me for a V2 Chain replacement

My 3 sisters are coming to dinner tonight. I caught more throw back ribira cabrilla on this trip than spotties.

Most of us go to BAJA for the fishing and ADVENTURE, Water, Women, Wind, Weather. Lot's of friends, good food, fresh fish and ADVENTURE. Some of the best memories are about that adventure. Getting your truck stuck on the beach, stepping on a scorpion, having a rat run across you at 3 am. Taking that trebble with fish attatched out of your foot, Being SELF sufficient it is the adventures that make these trips so awesome. Welcome to Baja. Tight lines.
