Wow. I'm speechless after that video. Incredible footage I can't believe how glassy it was compared to when I went in April. I have to get down there next weekend. Bob, you going back anytime soon? Nice work!

[makobob]

Nice video Mike! That will bring back lot's of memories for me in the future years, thank you!

[walrus]

Great job on the video. You captured the action and feel of fishing down there.

I found it's hard the first week back from there. During that week just want to pack up and go back down before I wake up from the dream.

Congrats on the fish.

The Fly action was out of this world! My reel was smoking the whole time!:sifone::reeling::cheers1:

[steveooo]

Awesome video :cheers1: Looks like paradise!

[GregAndrew]

Great stuff there!!!

[Mike scales]

Everyone here deserves to go down there once and experience the same thing we did. Just about every cast had something biting. Like casting into a giant bag of Halloween candy, never knew what you where going to pull out next! Looks like the weather going to be great through the rest of October-Nov too.
Cheers!:cheers1::reeling:

Wow! Definitely a trip of a lifetime.

:luxhello:

Just to clarify -Most fish were on the fly, dorodo was on conventional reel. Probably could have used the fly rod but didn't want to risk it.

So Mike have you set a date for your next trip to paradise? The fly fishing is usually pretty good year round, winter just does not have the pelegics. Hope to fish with you again soon.

No set dates yet, but my schedule is pretty flexible. Spring time any good for pelagics there?

Tight lines!

Mike, August through November are the best months for pelagics in Gonzaga. I am doing a private trip 12-18 November at Gonzaga and will post after trip. The weather is expected to be nice. Day temps around 80, 65 at night and winds to be 0-5 mph for thr whole week, like a lake again.
My next trip to Gonzaga will be for NEW YEARS, 30 Jan to 6 Janurary, there is still room to join this trip contact me if you are interested. Tight lines.

Thanks for posting the video. Bob has been inviting/telling me about this little slice of heaven for awhile.
Now I understand why he believes I would enjoy it so much. Barring any further delays to my W/C trial, the scheduling of medical procedures (which would allow me to get back out on the water) and State/Federal investigations I'm assisting with, I can't wait 'til spring to try to make a trip or two(?).

Just though I'd chime in here.
In Southern Baja near/in Mag bay (I can't remembers he name of the resort) where you can rent a quad/guide from that particular resort and chase Roosterfish in the surf (just look for the "combs" in the shallows). It's on my Fly Fishing Bucket list. :D
20-40# Roosters from the surf...Yeeehaaa! :eek:

Wow! That sounds amazing! There were some 20-40lb Roosters boiling around me at one point, but I panicked and back lashed my cast... They sunk out before I could recover. :( Definitely got my heart racing at million miles per hour! They left a bunch of fish half dead floating on the surface when they were done. Never seen anything like it. Amazing:eek:

Mike, hope the water is still warm enough for them NEXT week as 6 of us will be there again. And the weather looks like 80 in the day, 65 at night and winds below 5 mph. If the water is still warm it could be GREAT. Wish us luck. Tight lines.

Jealous! Good luck out there, hope you brought enough silverware! Haha:cheers1:

GUYS, the joke is that I frequent GOODWILL and buy s/s steel silver ware, forks and spoons, cut them down, drill a couple holes, add split rings and hooks and make my own jigs. I catch most of my fish on them on the fall or slow trolled. They are MY secret weapon in Baja. The jigs cost me a few minutes each, silverware is 25 cents each, so for less than a dollar you can make any size you like from 2" up to about 6". Pretty cost effective if you have a slow speed drill press and some oil or wd40, and a little time you could drill 30 an hour and put them together watching tv.
As a side note. We have had guys LOOSE $50-$60+ worth of jigs in less then 10 minutes at Gonzaga. Tight lines.
