[buddha]

LAST CALL For Anyone Interested In This Trip.

If you want to go on this trip and have meals with us please let us know before 12/15.

Anyone that is still interested in the trip should get a hold of Makobob or myself.

This is going to be a fantastic trip as we are going at the peak time down there.

There is plenty of room for people that want to camp near the house at San Roque or if you want to rent another accommodation you would need to do it fast as this is the peak season.

Please let us know if you are interested in this trip and get together.

DATES ARE SET:

We are leaving on December 26th and arrive in Bahia Asuncion on the 27th and will be back on January 5th.

If you want to leave earlier or stay later that is no problem.

Ok We are filled with 4 people for the San Rogue house.

If you want to tent camp next to the house it is 5 bucks/night.

If you want to rent another house you need to get a hold of Shari as this is peak season.

Fishing is great all year long here and is good everywhere also.

Surf fishing is very good and a lot of halibut.

Kayak fishing is very good.

Panga fishing is great.

October to December is the peak season and they get busy but january the fishing is just about peak.

Yellowtail fishing was awesome last January and the calico bass bite is epic.

Shari the owner has a New Year's Party, potluck, dancing etc you will be invited to of course!!! It's a blast."

I think this could be an amazing trip and one that we might do a few times a year.

So far Makobob, Svendawg, Rossman, and Buddha are in for this trip.

[William Novotny]

This gives me time to get my passport card and planning done. Im a bare bones tent guy and can do with basics.

[makobob]

OK guys, here is the start for January 2014, Jeff and I are both on board, TELL us what dates you want! This trip will be 7-10 days for us, however you can stay longer or come back sooner. It is a full day drive down, so a 7 day trip should be 5 days of possible fishing. Looks like William will be joining us also. We still need a start date. We will update this weekly as others want to join us! Expect to catch: Calicos to 15lbs, Bonita to 10 lbs, Yellowtail to 40lbs, Hailbut from the beach.

SAN Roque house has been RENTED. Tenters can pay $5 per night upon arrival in Asuncion. Two spots available in house, about $110.00 for the week. Contact Bob or Jeff San Roque house is FULL, or you could get a house in town from Shari.

This trip is CONFIRMED!

Anglers are:

Buddha, house
Makobob, house
William Novotny, tenting
Svendawg, house
Rossman, house
Dbrogdon, tenting
Shawn, tenting

So obviously you will be targeting bottom fish in January. All I can say is dress very, very warm. It should be quite cold there off the pacific! If you camp on beach try to hook up a space heater.....

[buddha]

They get yellowtail all through January and parts of February.

Depending on what week in January the daytime temps will be mid 70s and higher.

[makobob]

YES, bass, barracuda, yellow tail, halibut, and we will have a great time! Should be a very good trip. Hope to see you there with us.

Here was last January's weather: http://www.accuweather.com/en/mx/bahia-asuncion/231832/month/231832?monyr=1/01/2013

Here is a report from january

"Capt. Juan Arce started off the New Year successfully with clients catching 30-40 lb. yellowtails on the troll very close to Asuncion. The weather was super and fishing...even better!"

[dorado50]

That was a good year for sure! Hot weather and YT in January is the bomb. Have fun..........

[svendawg]

Sounds like a good trip. I'm interested.
I'm retired so my schedule is usually wide open.
I can do tent, truck camper or go in on renting a house

[makobob]

My name is Bob aka makobob, Jeff is buddha, William is William, a BIG welcome aboard to svendawg. So far everyone is open with dates to go, so will wait to see if someone wants to go and needs certain dates. Should be an AWESOME trip. Yellows, and the biggest calico bass in the world!

[rossman]

I would most likely be interested in this trip. I'll probably take two days to get there cuz I have a couple spots I want to investigate on the way down and I want to hit the road from highway 1 to BA in the daylight. Looks like at least 12 hr's of drive time to get to BA. I'm also retired so I'm pretty flexible on the timing of the trip.

[danjor]

You know some of us are envious of your flexible schedules to go fishing. I have only gone kayaking once this year! I miss 2011 I had almost 100 kayak trips that year.

[619-SWIM-DOG]

Looks like fun times.. I wish to do something like this once things get settled. I might be going to San Felipe a bunch while I'm here in SD so plan to test out those waters.

[makobob]

Do yourself a favor and drive past San Felippe and go to Gonzaga and get some real fish. I am going to set up a trip to Gonzaga for April. Expect to catch,
Bay Bass, Trigger fish, Corvina, Pargo, Grouper, and White sea Bass. Best month for most of these species. Come down and join us or put your name on the list. Tight lines and bloody gaffs!

Makobob

[rossman]

I agree about skipping San F and continuing to Gonzaga. Aiwas down there with 10 other takers in May and the fishing was outstanding. Super highway from Puertecitos to GB.

[buddha]

Ok I am thinking of doing this trip just after Christmas if that works for everyone. I plan on staying 7-10 days with Bob. Fishing should be great at this time of year. We plan on renting a small humble house called the San Rogue that would only cost 250 for the week.

So for 5 people that would be 50 bucks a piece.

This house is spartan and has no water or power.

It is right on the water and secluded and about 5-6 miles from town. The pangas are parked right outside the house.

You can pitch a tent there if you like also for 10 bucks a night. Anyone that wants better accommodations they will cost more but you will have hot water and power and nicer accommodations and be right next to town.

The house has 3 beds and a futon, you can check it out on the 1st post in this thread. It is the San Roque rustic. 6-7 miles out of town. Paddle out to Isla San Roque is two miles, kelp beds end here, no kelp further south. Or you can make arraingements for a room or house in town. We have to bring our own water, which can be bought in town. NO ELECTRICITY we are off the grid here.
If you need to be in town the two good houses hold 5 persons. and are $700 and $900 for a week. All are close to the water. Also hotel with rooms. Beach camping is also at all 3 places. $5-10 per night. Groceries, water, beer in town, good eating too. If you want something HARD to drink you need to bring it with you.

[dbrogdon5]

ok so i am thinking i may be in for this trip as well. I need to figure out a couple of things but please let me know dates when you figure them out! thanks Makobob!

[taggermike]

I've been wanting to fish Accuncion for years. Cash and time are always the mitigating factors. Damn it.
Baja has so many places to fish that are ideal for the kayak. Just looking at a map gives so many fishing ideas. Mike

[makobob]

taggermike, tent camping will be 5 per night, so $35 for the week. If you car pool with someone, fuel costs get cut for both of you, auto insurance is about a dollar a day if you have a full years policy. We have been invited to the town's New Years party. No matter where you are you have to eat, why not in Baja!

The San Roque house is PAID for the week 28-29 Dec arrival, we can stay a couple extra days for FREE. Sleeps 4 but 3 are already paid for, tent camping is $5 per tent per night payable upon arrival at Asuncion. We were invited to the town's new years party. Of course you could stay in town if you wanted.

[buddha]

Ok if you are interested in the trip I have UPDATED information.

We are filled for the San Rogue House.
If you want to camp next to the house it is 5 dollars/night.

I have been chatting with Makobob and we are planning a trip down to Bahia Asuncion. There are several accomodations from tent camping to RV to renting out a house and all are reasonable.

Surf fishing is very good and a lot of halibut.

Kayak fishing is very good.

Panga fishing is great.

October to December is the peak season and they get busy but january the fishing is just about peak.

There are other houses that are very reasonable that have power and water and are more comfortable if you want to rent those. Post in the thread if you want to do this and hopefully there will be enough people to fill another place, actually only need 2 or 4 people for some of the other places.

http://bahiaasuncion.com/php/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=28

Talking to the owner she said the calicos there are really huge and abundant.

Last year at this time it was the best for yellowtail.

Halibut in the surf is very good also.

Pangas to rent for the day for 2 people are 175/day a good deal.

The paddle from the house which is right on the beach is only 1-2 miles to the fishing grounds.

Come join us.

Baja or bust!

I think this could be an amazing trip and one that we might do a few times a year.

So far Buddha, Makobob, Svendawg, Rossman, Dbrogdon5, and Shawn are in for this trip.

[dbrogdon5]

so, what is the exact mileage to Bahia from San Diego? for some reason my GPS services are not working so well. I will be coming down from yucaipa which is about 120 miles from San Diego

[taggermike]

If the road in is paved all the way my little ford focus would make it but if owners of more Baja worthy vehicles would be willing to car pool at full occupancy the trip would be safer and more economical for all. A good trailer that could take many kayaks, coolers, and other bulky but light items would be a very helpful as well. A caravan is always a good way to travel in Baja. Just some thoughts. Mike

[Mo Betta]

I usually just come on here to check conditions on the WebCam when Im thinking about taking the 14' Klamath out. I saw the Baja post and decided to chime in about BA.

Its an incredible place, old Baja for sure. Shari is a great host and the whole town is friendly. Make sure you eat at Juanitas, its like eating at grandmas house.

I only get to travel to Baja during the summer when the days are longer. I dont think you can make it down in 1 shot without driving at night. Guerro Negro has Hotel Cowboy, left side of the street as you enter town. Catavina has a hotel on the right headed south, its really nice.

We have a video from our summer trip. In the video is Sharis place with the rock rooms then it goes onto San Roque. San Roque is very small and its a definte must see. The Kelp beds out that area are pristine. I didnt get to wet a line, but I will be back very soon.

[dbrogdon5]

Taggermike,
If I end up going on this trip I have a trailer that I put my PA on and can hold two other smaller kayaks (12 OK etc..) and I can throw another on top of my vehicle. I will let you know if I make the trip for sure.

[makobob]

And I just put a THULE xsporter on my silverado, so I can take an extra yak too.

Shari said mileage from US border is right at 560 miles, or about 13 hours, roads seem in fair shape all the way to Asuncion. I would suggest a night stop somewhere on the way, Baja can be bad to drive at night.

[makobob]

The San Roque Rustic House is full. Buddha, Makobob, Rossman and Svendawg. Plenty of room for tents, if you look at pictures of house there are miles of beach to camp on. House should provide some wind protection. Also appears to have covered porch, patio. More houses in town, but that is miles away. We are on the water, with Isla San Roque 2 miles away!!! Don't forget New Years in town! We will have small generator for recharging our electronics.

[buddha]

Ok so far we have 6 guys confirmed for the trip.

Buddha, Makobob, Rossman, Svendawg, dbrogdon5 and friend Shawn.

Talking to the owner she said that the best place and easiest to get tourist visas is just past the border. 25 bucks for 6 month visa.

We have tent camping available for 5 dollars a night.

If you want other accommodations there are other options.

http://bahiaasuncion.com/php/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=28

If you want to rent a house I would think about doing it soon as Oct-December are the busy months to make sure you can get a spot.

The owner's sister in law also does lobster meals and can deliver it to wherever you are staying.

I think we may take her up on this!

Yellowtail, calicos, halibut fishing all great at this time of year!

Ex rap rapalas in white and root beer color, plastics and irons are what you need. Surf fishing carolina rig and then scoop up sand crabs for bait.

Should be a great trip!

Baja or bust!

yellowtail in January

Great glad to have you come along. Remember you have to get a tourist visa.

We are going to share in the expenses for groceries for breakfast: eggs, sausage, bacon, french toast, pancakes, cereal, etc.

We will get sandwich stuff to bring along for the day.

Also share some dinners and also go out to the town for some meals also.

I will be bringing an outdoor propane cooker. If you have any large stock pots let me know.

[dbrogdon5]

I do not believe I have any pots but ill keep an eye out. I have a passport so i think i am good there. I will let you know if i come across any items that will be beneficial to everyone

[buddha]

Even though you have a passport you still need to get a tourist visa.

I will try to put together a list of things we might need as we get closer to the time.

Thanks and looking forward to meeting you.

I will also try to have at least one get together here in San Diego before we leave.

[momo fish]

guess its a personal choice. Spoke to owners of place we are staying at and they said in 40 years they been living and driving there, they have never been asked for FFM. And told us not to buy one..

so confused.

Shari the owner of the house we are staying at told us it is best to get the tourist visas right after you cross the border.

Better safe than sorry especially in Mexico.

[momo fish]

I know.. Just confusing as some say get it and so e don't as its a waste.. I was told unless your in TJ or Ensenada its not worth it as you won't get stopped and asked for it.. I rather save money and spend it on the locals verses paying for something that is rarely checked.. I will start a poll here :)

My vote goes to getting it. If you get stopped without it no idea what can happen but I don't want to find out for a lousy 25 dollars.

[rossman]

We are guests in a foreign country. Why not abide by their rules. It is not that expensive, and if it adds 15 minutes to your border experience, it would be a surprise to me. I've never been checked for my Mexican fishing lic. Or Mex insurance card either but I wouldn't think of going without them.

Shari told me that the water temperature is usually n the 70s in January so that bodes well for yellowtail. She said the calico bass fishing is insane down there.

With the water temperature that warm just light clothing is needed for the trip.

Bring plenty of lures as they are expensive down there. Mostly ex rap rapalas, irons, spoons, and bass lures will suffice.

Come join us!

Baja or bust!

[makobob]

75 DAYS and counting, Lot's of HUGE CALICOS, do not forget your Z-Man plastics, those calicos are always hungry. Hope you can join us! All are invited. Tight lines and....................

I vote that in Mex you are presumed quilty until proven innocent(much like here in the USA). Not always a wise thing to believe hearsay........;)

[buddha]

Why risk the consequences of not having a tourist visa?

Let's refrain from any more of these posts please.

This trip is going to be great.

Camping is only 5 bucks a night.

Great yellowtail, calico and halibut fishing.

Come on down with us and remember to bring your tourist visa!

Baja or Bust!

[momo fish]

to each their own I guess. Just came back from Bahia de los Angeles last night.. Stopped three times at military checkpoint and spoke to local polica in ensenada and we asked cause we are stupid I guess, lol... Was told they don't check unless you pass through guerra negro... Sorry but if the people enforcing the rules tell me I don't need it then not spending the money..

again to each their own, do what you feel is best.. The locals living there 10 plus years told us the same thing.. Some almost laughed when I asked if we should of gotten Tone. here you go, first hand info..

Bahia Asuncion is past Guerrero Negro.

I think the visa is good for 6 months.

Plenty of Mexico trips planned.

[Ojos_raros]

We will most likely be making this trip too. Have been there 2 times and we usually leave Dec 26 and cross the border around 9 - 10 am.

the yellowtail are 30 - 40 lbers and are MEAN!! Bring lots of 30 cm X raps, green color best and plastics for bass. Fish line at least 40 - 50 lb. yes 50, or else!! We usually camp in town as it has internet and hot showers there, a must after fishing all day! PM me if you want any info about this place. It is KILLER!

We rented a house from Shari that is about 5 miles from town. I guess we will go into town after fishing and get showers. We can meet up when you are down there. I will mostly be fishing for calico so I will bring a bunch of plastics. Halibut are also good in the surf and I will try for them also.

[makobob]

Tomorrow we are down to 60 days and counting! Come and join us, should be lot's of good fun and great fishing. Big YT, Bigger Bonita, and Biggest Calicos in the WORLD! Halibut too. What more could you ask for in the middle of winter?

Buddha will be setting up a get together for Tidelands Park the end of November, we will fish the morning, have a BBQ, and plan the trip. If you are thinking about going in Dec/Jan to Asuncion, now is the time to let Buddha, or Makobob know if you are planing to join us.

All are welcome on the Baja or Bust trips. Bring your kayak, your canoe, paddle board, skiff, jet ski, or just fish from the surf. This is one of the few areas in the world where you can catch YT from the beach! Hope to see you all there.

[buddha]

Ok it is 60 days to the trip.

We are going to have a little get together that will be on the weekends of November 30/Dec. 1 or the following weekend of Dec. 7/8.

We will fish in the morning and then have a little picnic to share and discuss the trip and do a little bonding.

Anyone that is still interested in the trip should get a hold of Makobob or myself.

This is going to be a fantastic trip as we are going at the peak time down there.

There is plenty of room for people that want to camp near the house at San Roque or if you want to rent another accommodation you would need to do it fast as this is the peak season.

Please let us know if you are interested in this trip and get together.

[buddha]

Here are some pictures of the San Roque House and the area.

what about spearfishing? Hows the vis down there?

[makobob]

what about spearfishing? Hows the vis down there?


According to Shari in Asuncion this is her answer to your question. They usually have pretty good vis!
Hi Robert....today is is crystal clear and has been great all week...lots of yellowtail.

[buddha]

Ok we have a month and a half to go.

We are going to have a little get together that will be on Dec. 8.

It will be at Tidelands Park in Coronado.

We will fish in the morning and then have a little picnic to share and discuss the trip and do a little bonding.

Sent Mako Bob an email. There are three of us who are in, schedule permiting, we have been planning a trip down there for a while and this might be the perfect opportunity for us to go down there.

We are all experienced rod and reel fisherman who converted to spearfishing, and plan on bringing our gear, but we plan on spending most of the time in the water spear-fishing. If thats ok with everybody, we would be very interested in going.

[makobob]

Welcome aboard, are you going to be bringing your yaks or diving from the beach? Are you going to beach camp at the house? We are planning a get together on Sunday the 8 of December to final plan this trip. We will meet at Tidelands park in south bay.

Hi Makobob,

We're bringing the yaks and plan on camping at Campo Sirena, I've already emailed Shari. The plan is to fish and dive off the yaks but we may get a couple shore dives in if the conditions are right. It will be kelpbass91, myself, and our buddy beergillz making the trip.

What time is the meet and greet? I'll be there for sure and I'm sure the other two will be able to make it.

Thanks for putting this together

I have sent you several emails and Pms but you have not responded at all. Maybe the emails went to your spam folder?

You can come anytime in the morning to fish.

We will be meeting at 12 or 1 PM for a picnic and to talk about the trip.

[buddha]

Ok unfortunately a few folks had to drop out due to their work schedules.

The house is full at the San Roque house with Makobob, Rossman, Svendawg, and Buddha.

We still have room for camping outside the house in tents for only 5-10 bucks a night.

You can also try to reserve other accommodations in town.

We will be leaving on Dec. 26 and coming home on January 5th.

We are having a get together on December 8 to hash out the details of the trip at Tidelands Park in Coronado.

Anyone that is interested in the trip please get a hold of myself or Makobob.

[makobob]

This ship sets sail in under 30 days. All aboard. Contact buddha or makobob before she sails off into the sunset with out YOU!

[kelpbass91]

Dont think Me, Spencer or Josh will probably not be able to make the trip. Very hard for them to get that time period off, have fun down there!

[makobob]

So we are back to the origional four. Not a problem guys, enjoy your holidays. Maybe next time. Rossman, Svendawg, Buddha and Makobob will be leaving for Asuncion 26 December, crossing the border around 6 am. We want to wish the rest of our comminuty a MERRY CHRISTMAS, and enjoyable NEW YEAR. Remember the 1st Yellowtail of the year gets a prize. Happy Holidays.

YOU could still join us!!!

[buddha]

LAST CALL For anyone interested in this trip.

If you want to go on this trip and have meals with us please let us know before 12/15.

Anyone that is still interested in the trip should get a hold of Makobob or myself.

This is going to be a fantastic trip as we are going at the peak time down there.

There is plenty of room for people that want to camp near the house at San Roque or if you want to rent another accommodation you would need to do it fast as this is the peak season.

Please let us know if you are interested in this trip and get together.

DATES ARE SET:

We are leaving on December 26th and arrive in Bahia Asuncion on the 27th and will be back on January 5th.

If you want to leave earlier or stay later that is no problem.

Ok We are filled with 4 people for the San Rogue house.

If you want to tent camp next to the house it is 5 bucks/night.

If you want to rent another house you need to get a hold of Shari as this is peak season.

Fishing is great all year long here and is good everywhere also.

Surf fishing is very good and a lot of halibut.

Kayak fishing is very good.

Panga fishing is great.

October to December is the peak season and they get busy but january the fishing is just about peak.

Yellowtail fishing was awesome last January and the calico bass bite is epic.

Shari the owner has a New Year's Party, potluck, dancing etc you will be invited to of course!!! It's a blast."

I think this could be an amazing trip and one that we might do a few times a year.

So far Makobob, Svendawg, Rossman, and Buddha are in for this trip.

I'm still trying to get my head around the the concept of eating actual meals on a Baja trip. My idea of lunch is a Slim Jim and a Vitamin Water, and Jeff has plans for cooking three course meals, and the most surprising thing is that he wants to do it. If today's lunch is any indication I may have to revert back to my old wide body Cobra Navigator.

Thanks Ross.

I like catching, cooking and eating!

Cooking is a labor of love.

After the trip you might have to make a New Year's resolution to lose the weight you gained from this trip!

Just talked with Shari at Asuncion. The local fisherman got nice yellows last week. We can get our lobsters from the vigilancia right there at San Roque.
The road is fully paved, From Mex1 it is one hour into town.
Below is last weeks post from Western Outdoor News.


BAHIA ASUNCION (Just south of Guerrero Negro): This past week was the best fishing week yet this season, with ideal weather, very calm seas, not much wind, sunny hot days and best of all — lots of fish.

THE FLY GUYS — First timers to Bahia Asuncion George Courtenay, Michael Mackinosh from San Diego (left to right) hopped on their plane with buddy Mark for a quick trip for big fish. You can bet it won’t be their last, after landing several yellowtail in the 30- to 45-pound range as well as other fish. PHOTO COURTESY OF SHARI BONDY AT CAMPO SIRENA

“Our fly-in guests were thankful the yellowtail were big and bountiful on their first visit to Asuncion,” Shari Bondy of Campo Sirena said. “They caught several big fish in the 30- to 45-pound range over three days, as well as bonito, skipjack and calico. In fact, they are planning their return visit next month for more big fish.”

Shari's picture of them looks like they were fishing from a canoe!
So guys it looks like it is going to be great. Any one wishing to join us on the beach at San Roque needs to contact us before the 15th of December. Tight lines and bloody gaffs.
