Next Sunday morning, I will be leaving for Asuncion/Abreojos to visit Rossman and fish. Room for one to shotgun.

OK Ross, I have your order ready, and I have reading materials for you too.
If I leave here at 4:30 I should be across the border before 6am on Sunday.
Past San Quintin by noon and if things go right I could make it to your place before dark, but if I feel tired I will spend the night at cowboys.

Still looking for someone to ride shotgun and help drive. Tight lines.

How long are you going down for, Bob? I've always wanted to check it out down there and might be able to pull it off

I don't know if you need any fishing incentive but the yellowtail fishing is simply off the hook right now. Every time I go out of cannot believe it will get any better but then it does. It was as out of his morning and totally lost count at about 9. Probably ended up with at least a dozen. No rats. All 20 lb or better. I was getting hits on almost every cast.

We can take care of it when I get there. Did you say WFO yellows? I guess you are already over a hundred yellows this year. WOW, awesome see you in a week. Tight lines. Did you say there was no chicken legs/thighs available down there?

rossman · 07-13-2015, 05:05 PM

Legs and thighs are usually available. Breasts and wings are scarce. Story of my life

Zed · 07-13-2015, 05:59 PM

Hola Bob!

I think your time line is a little off.
Our normal drive time: Cross in Otay by 7 a.m. Make it to San Quintin and spend the night (this is now early to mid afternoon). We normally make it to Hotel Jardines and eat at the restaurant for dinner. Wake up at 5+ a.m. Leave by 6 a.m. Stop for breakfast At Mama Espinoza's in El Rosario and gas up. Finish eating and leave by 7 a.m. Get to Guerrero Negro by 2:30 - 3:00 p.m. Eat and a margarita at Mario's Palapa, order a CAMPECHANA and guacamole, (about two KM before town). Then fill up again in GN, and one more time in Vizcaino. Pull into the house by around 6 p.m. Done this about 16 times.

Think this...it is about a ten hour drive from Ensenada to BA, plus you lose an hour (mountain time after the North/South crossing). And don't let the agricultural guys pull the wool over your eyes...they have two books of prices for the car-bottom spraying: 10 pesos and 20 pesos. They try to pull the 20 pesos first until you tell them that last month you paid 10 pesos.
Remember that you will have at least four military check points to drive trough, and the hold up time is kind of a crapshoot, depending on busses and trucks (which also slow you down on the mountain and curvy roads.)

Tight lines, buddy!

Udo, you are right. I might just drive down to San Quintin on Saturday afternoon after the How event.

udowinkler · 07-17-2015, 11:43 AM

Great idea Bob.

Plus there are several mountainous areas that really play havoc on your driving, especially if there are busses or truck. DON'T GET IN A HURRY and crazily pass these vehicles.

Yes sir, been thru there a few times, once you turn 60 it is time to slow down.
