Sausage fest





WHERES THE BEER!?!?

[Rambo]

Can't wait to see the reports of this adventure. Jealous and envy while most of us are at work thinking about fishing. And looking at fish porn on the website. :you_rock:

[wiredantz]

Great, the polish quesadilla part 2.

[Iceman]

Heck ya! the pinche B squad! :D gotta love that place!

[Deamon]

I was hit by a panga going abt 20mph...pangero never saw me as he was on the tiller so the bow of the xl panga was up high blocking his entire view. I didn't know which way to move and/or wondered if he was just giving me a fly by. He ended up clipping my bow, spinning me around and raking my rod. As he went by with his eyes as wide as dinner plates, I raised my arms like "WTF"...then he raised his arms like "lo siento amigo" and we never saw each other again.

But that story's nothing compared to Rob hunter's gem. Wonder if he'll share it.

Jim

[ful-rac]

His Gem?!

[wiredantz]

Man got clipped, that's messed up! I bet you were like IM GONNA DIE. Please describe how you felt moments before the impact.

[Deamon]

Ummmm...sculpture?

[Deamon]

Twin brothers paid us a visit at night in camp.

[Deamon]

Two hour WFO on small to XXL Whale Sharks.

[Deamon]

Man got clipped, that's messed up! I bet you were like IM GONNA DIE. Please describe how you felt moments before the impact.

I thought he was going to miss me. If anyone's ever steered by tiller...going a straight line is not easy and he turned into me last second just enough to get clipped. I felt okay with where I was at...ready to jump out if needed. Could've been a whole lot worse.

[wiredantz]

I see I see,

Now, you have me intrigued on what happened with Rob Hunter.

Are you referring to the people?

[CKallday71]

I love Cerastes! One of my all time favorite buzz tails! They're so awesome! Hope nobody tried to hurt it!

They were babies on the prowl for sure. First we had to tackle Tony as he was def going to kill them. Then one got shushed out and the persistent one was BBQ tonged out of camp. Released unharmed. Jim

[wiredantz]

how many people did take to tackle down Tony?

[rossman]

Looks like you missed the real excitement. Just got a report this morning that a plane went down in front of the Rancho Grande palapas with 6 souls lost.. Baja Nomads information.

Nice campin trip.
Did you go fishin?

[makobob]

Some people just know how to enjoy life, sounds like a great trip, sorry I had to miss it. Sounds like you guys had a ball, but have heard nothing about the catching. Baja fishing can be WORLD CLASS and we sometimes forget that t is not always great. Comoradary makes the trip, the quality fish are the BONUS.

Not sure what your surprise was but when I was there in May, I came in from a fishing session, I found that one of the camp dogs had taken a crap on top of one of my tackle bags. This things sits at least 10 inches off the ground. I would have paid money just to see how he got into position to do the deed. After giving it some more thought, and considering that I was there with the Iceman's posse, I guess I could give the dogs the benefit of this he doubt.

[ful-rac]

Yeah it was a blast down there. I have to admit I had my reservations about going down there....again, especially in june..... when I expected it to be crazy hot and windy... But it was pleasant! Really! We had an adventure and it was a great time, it's always a good time with team sewer!

Yeah we had some problems out there, got my truck stuck in the sand on the chuckD rescue mission...but we got it out, after a little digging. Rattlesnakes, going thru camp at night, dealing with the black bomber, broken rudderlines....it was all fun and did anybody mention the food?


An amazing time!

Well, lets see
Steak with grilled potato's
London broil with mushrooms, bell peppers and ??
Marinated chicken
grilled shrimp and scallops
burgers
pancakes
bacon and more bacon
hash browns
scrambled eggs
turkey sandwiches for lunch
I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton of things


Ironically, I got home weighing less than when I left. Since it was hot hot hot I guess my weight loss was all water :D

I can't remember the last time I drank 5 bottles of water while I was fishing.


I have over 300 pictures to go through so it'll be a while before I post them

[roby]

This was one hell of a trip Jorge set-up for the boys.

Great, great weather.
The fishing was non-stop most of the time.
Great food.
Lots of laughs.
Whale shark encounter.
Epic scenery and solitude.
And I added a whole bunch of new fish species to my list: 13lb Cabrilla, and a Corvina were the highlights.


Fun, fun memories created on this trip. Thanks guys!

You don't need a paddle for that boat!!!

[makobob]

You don't need a paddle for that boat!!!

In Baja with the possible winds, I would never leave shore without a paddle even on the Hobie. It could just save your life, when the offshore winds kick in it is much better to be safe. And there were a number of drive failures down there this year. Be safe, PLEASE.

[ful-rac]

I did catch one of these...

Yeah that thing was a monster! When I brought it up it looked fake, like a cartoon fish. It ended up weighing 16 pounds.


Thanks for setting me up with the steering line, gonna get it put back together today.

Thanks Andy.

Can't wait to see more pics and vids.

[Chuck D]

So here goes the details of the trip down south with the Sewer gang. Sorry for all the details, just watch the vid if you want to see a piece of Baja.
Day 1
Meet up at 4am with Rob aka Hunter the 80’s man and combine efforts to pack into one truck and get down to the Donut shop in time to see Tony and the crew eat a breakfast sammy (Tony/extra mayo) and get ready to take the treck down South. Head on down for a fun ride, chillin with Rob having a great time talking, seeing and not eating Guardia filled tacos;) Get down to the Beluga Resort at aprox 2pm and proceed to unpack the essentials and on the water by 3pm. Head to the point about 2 miles away and see bait seething all around me, it looked like it was raining anchovies. Try throwing an Iron and immediately see a huge follower takes it all the way to the kayak and then slash away, I wasn’t sure what it was by the colors and size, but determined it was an Amberjack after Jim told me he saw a school run under his kayak. No luck yet but happen to see a school of YT and some other big unknown breeze by the kayak. Go into a cove and see a dorsal fin, oh snap, whale shark right under the yak, what an amazing creature. Rob comes to venture over but it is gone by then, my one and only whale shark experience, no go pro, oh well. End up popping a couple triggers that night along with some sand bass and that was it. Roby and Rob end up with some bigger models as I find out when I peddle back in the dark and get back to camp by 7pm, long night, great dinner, should be tired but end up bsing with Jorge until I realized I need to fish tomorrow then hit the sack.

Day 2
Got up at sunrise, tired, a little wobbly but ready to hit the water. First I inhale a fantastic breakfast as always prepared by Chef Roby. Thank goodness I burn some calories on these trips because the food I amazing and in abundance at all times. Get ready, hit the rock shelves and point by 7, troll and lets see what happens. Head to Jorge’s secret spot to drop down a live spottie only to get slammed within 10 seconds and hook pops out. Hear Tony gets a nice fish, I go over to him and see the Jem of the trip in my opinion, I will let him tell you what it was. I get a nice Sierra and head over to Tony give it to him since he is going in so he can ice it, on route get slammed by a Cabrilla and send him home with 2 fish instead. Troll long and far that day end up on the other side of the point only to realize that there are no toilets in the middle of nowhere Baja:) End up landing on part of the island to explore and see thousands of weird crustacean looking black beetles everywhere, take a swim and head back out on the troll. Bag tons of triggers and three more Cabrilla then head in for the long peddle. Saw a few turtles that day too, a little hot but pretty prime conditions. Stop on the way back at Jorge’s hot spot only to loose another battle to the big mama grouper.

Day 3
Ahh, the adventurous day! The night before I decided that I was going to head right instead of left and explore the far side of Gonzaga bay, prob twice the distance away from the other side. Part of Kayak fishing for me is exploring new untouched territory, I get bored real quick with the same spots. The rest of the crew decides its a good idea too. First one to head out and no matter what anyone would have said I was going to make it to that side. Power through and end up getting caught in the middle of a bat ray circus, 1000’s of bat rays jumping out of the water everywhere, very cool. Keep trucking and make it to this far cove that seems untouched, clear waters, amazing tiny beaches and about 10-20 feet deep everywhere. It was beautiful, but I realized I was in paradise when I found out that in this cove all the small baitfish congregated. Where there are small there are big, I look beneath me and see Cabrilla’s, Jacks, Yellows, Unknown bigs, munching on bait in packs in the clear water not even caring about the yak, I found my Mecca. Catch huge trigger after trigger, for every 10 triggers came up a nice Leopard Grouper or Cabrilla. Chilled for lunch on an untouched piece of beach and decide to cast out an Iron off the beach to see what happens. Immediately get slammed by a nice Jack Crevalle which have a ton of fight in them, awesome. Get my fill and head back with time to spare for the big trek back to camp. Of course I need to troll on the way back just incase:) Wind starts to pick up but in the right direction, cool. Follow the coast and turn a corner following the coast and triggers are nibbling, then BENDO, my rod gets hit hard, get him out of the rocks, peddle forward, 16lb pound Cabrilla, biggest of the trip for me, stoked. I was pretty excited about this guy, gaff him, throw him in the yak pretty green, blows up. Next thing I know look down and the front of my Rapala was still in his mouth, the back treble of the Rapala was stuck through the side of my foot under my ankle, through on one end and out the other. Me and the fish, connected by one Rapala, not a cool situation. As I pray that this Cabrilla does not blow up again and rip this Rapala through my skin or mess me up more I hold his head down and successfully remove the jig from his mouth and put him in the back, phew. Proceed to remove the jig from the treble so I I could go to work. I had hoped my pliers would be able to cut my hook so I could pass it through the skin without the barb. No such luck, ALWYAS HAVE A TOOL ON YOU THAT CAN DO THIS IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES! I am trying to all this on the yak just then the wind shifts and I am getting pushed back to the island. I land so I can work on getting this treble out of my foot, very painful peddling with a treble all the way through your foot. Decide that if I clamp the barb down as much as I can, then back it out is my only option other then peddling all the way home with a treble in my foot. Stick my foot in the water and pull back hard and thank goodness is slides out. I was so thankful for that but I needed to really get a move on with the wind and time wasting away. Wind blowing 15-25 I end up barely making it back to the beach on our side of the bay, only problem is that this spot is still 4 miles away from camp. Decide to beach it and wait out wind and/or try to contact the crew to see if they can pic me up. I have a few sips of water left, ALWAYS BRING MORE WATER THEN YOU THINK YOU NEED. I rationed but still came close to running out and I brought 4 nalgene bottles. There was a group of houses there and on the right side of the bay so I felt safe, just a little tired. Tried team S on the radio and got them, nice. It turned out the the only reason I got them is because everyone else had put a plan in place to find me. One group traveled to the point with their VHF, one group went to use the locals more powerful VHF and one group was digging out Tonys truck. Long story, long the there are Matt and Jorge on the radio and come to my rescue although I know it was a team effort. Very relieved that these guys were on top of things and looking out for me. First thing Matt hands me a power aid, Jorge gives me 2 hot waters, chug them all, load up and back to camp in 10 min:) I have a l a lot of things to be thankful for that day. Things could have been worse, preparation and communication are key, especially in Baja. A few final thanks.

Matt and Jorge for making my day and being there when I needed them the most.

Tony and Roby for driving down to find a communication point to get a hold of me. Jim for helping them and digging out Tonys truck.

Rob and Robert for stating positive about the situation and having faith in my abilities to get home.

I apologize to all my friends for putting anyone on edge. I do have to say that I was lucky to have people around me that we experts, responsible, caring and reliable. I had no doubt that the team would be there for me when I pushed that button on the VHF for help and this is exactly what transpired. I never feared for my life, I was always calm, but you never know out there. Be careful, prepared and go to Baja. I hope I can do this until my bones won’t allow me anymore. Then I will just have Robert tow me around in his yak while I troll.
I wish I got more footage, but here is a small clip of my Baja. Tight lines.

[Zed]

Real cool vid, thanks. Good feel. Bet you weren't grinnin like that when the hook was still in yer foot.

BTW the rays are mobulas. Small cousin to the manta/eagle.

[jorluivil]

Leave no man behind :D

[makobob]

Awesome video, good times with GREAT people, being prepaired sure helps. I think Gonzaga holds more fish then Las Encantadas, but both are fantastic fisheries only 10 miles apart. Nice work Chuck.

Wow. Team Sewer ... I never heard about you guys being so nice...


Now, I don't believe everything they say about you guys! :cheers1:

[Socalkayak]

Just got back from there a week ago. Didnt stay at gonzaga but rather Punta Buffeo. I have stayed at both. Next time maybe try buffeo. It is the point right before gonzaga bay. Its killing me I forgot the guys name but his wifes name is Rosario. Very nice people. I went Solo camped right on the beach for $5 a night its his propery and there is way less traffic/ people there. For $5 its camping and use of the bathroom and shower yes I said shower. I know it camping but after fishing all day in 90° + a shower is a must. They cooked up my fish that I gave them and we had fish tacos for dinner. I dont know if it was the fishing or they hosts that made the trip. Cant say enough about them. They really play host to you. Like this. As I was launching for the islands in the morning he came running asking how long I would be so he would know if he should come looking for me since I was solo. Makes you kinda feel at esse. The fishing: tons of triggers big ones too. Got a 6 pounder that would give any 20 pound yellow a run for there money. Triggers got tk be an annoyance there were so many. 6 yellowtail . The buety of staying at Buffeo you are way closer to the islands. 2.8 miles. But its in the sea of cortez and it was literally like a lake. Many cabria. And two good size pargo. Yellows were small schoolers 3-8 pounders The road was awsome. On the last day (my butt could take no more) I rented his 15 aluminium boat with a nice 20hp honda with 5 gallons of gas for $50. Check the reports punta buffeo means killer whale point.

Have you not heard about Baja or bust? Makobob? Las Encantadas?

[FISH11]

On that first picture I wasn't shure if you guys were cooling off or taking a wiz. After seeing the other pictures I can tell it's Fnnn HOT! Looks like fun if the beer don't run out.

[Hunter (The 80's Man)]

Sweet! I made least likely to visit Gayoso! Thanks, Chuck, for the vote of confidence.


Really awesome video (and perfect song)! Glad you were able to film the jumping rays... they didn't show up on any of my videos and I was beginning to think my kids didn't believe me.

Can't wait to fish with you again, thanks for the cool ride.

[bwana]

My respect for Team Sewer just went through the roof after reading Chuck D's report.

Way to look out for one another!

[Socalkayak]

Have you not heard about Baja or bust? Makobob? Las Encantadas?

No. Why?

[ful-rac]

No. Why?

Thanks for putting this trip together, Jorge. I had a blast!

Here's another perspective ...

Very cool hunter! It's like I was there....again!

[steveooo]

Looks like a fun trip, with a cool variety of fish. Thanks for taking the time to put the vids together. :cheers1:

[Chuck D]

Nice vid Rob, I especially like the commentary at the end :rolleyes: Cool song too, till next time bro. Make sure to get me that special recipe you were talking about.

[walrus]

Team Sewer, you guys rock! You always seem to have good lessons for us. ( what happen to Tony's rudder?), great adventures, and pictures or videos to inspire us.

Thanks

"The buety of staying at Buffeo you are way closer to the islands. 2.8 miles."

The closest island (San Luis) to Punta Bufero is over five miles. It looks closer but GPS coordinates don't lie. Willard Island is roughly 2.8 miles from Rancho Grande campground.

Kayaking to San Luis is a real risk, the wind comes up without warning and being that far off shore you may not be able to get back within miles of where you started. Always take plenty of water in your kayak, and remember while paddling/pedaling out that you still have to paddle back against the current.

We were fishing the WFO Spotty bite just having a blast!!!! Then all of a sudden with no warning I lose my steering...We were about a mile away from camp, so it wasn't going to be too bad of a paddle back. But I opted to try to fix the problem in the field if I could. I couldn't get on the sand from where I was so I got as close to shore as I could. I found a little rocky spot in about 2 feet of water, removed bait tank and rods, opened hatch, removed steering cover, found broken steering line. Located extremely frayed broken steering line, reattached steering line with good knot. Re-routed steering line thru hull, secured line, tied knot, DONE!


Ya know it seems that if my mirage drive doesn't break, something else does....But at least my mirage drive didn't fail me this time...and if it did I was ready. I put together a little tool kit for just this type of scenario, lucky I learned to have one ready from my last Baja experience.

Its not a trip unless someone tinkles on the way

[kayakfisherman]

Hunter,

Excellent video!!! I want to go with you guys badly.

[PapaDave]

When's the next trip planned?

[jorluivil]

When's the next trip planned?

Last night Tony and I were discussing another trip to Gonzaga but chances are its not going to be until after summer or sometime next year. The place is awesome, no cell phone service, no electricity and no medical help for miles:eek:. If and when we setup another trip I will post it for everyone, this last one I didn't publicize because.....well, just because. Setting up this last trip was like having a second job; transportation for 8, meals for 2.5 days, gear, more gear, and more gear after that. I'm definitely going back, even if its by myself.

Either your gps is lying or mine is. I paddled it and fished it. Paddled/trolling motor. I have fished it a couple of times. My navionics track says 2.8. What did yours say. Or did you just look at it on google earth. I should say 2.8 to the reef where at low tide it kinda breaks. Did I physically land on the island no. But 2.8 to maybe 2.9 is accurate. Thanks for the tide and wind advice cause fishing by myself in Baja I would have never thought of that. No I am not on a TEAM.. But I have fished once and I stayed at a Holliday Inn.

[Fish n Jeep]

What a great adventure. Looks like a blast, I'm interested in going next time.

[momo fish]

Awesome trip guys! Looks like a blast. Have you guys thought about BOLA? I go every early oct and water gets deep between shore and islands and great fishing and diving as well.

[TheBentRod]

You guys know how to have fun!
