Bajapalooza IV

[Iceman]

The slideshow :D 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.

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]

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!

[Caseym]

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]

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]

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

[Iceman]

My foot seemed to be healing fine until this morning, woke up to swelling, red and a little itchy. Ended up going in to Dr, steroid shot, tetanus shot and antibiotics for 10 days, he said it was mildly infected.

Here is a little drone flight I shot, I have a little more usable stuff, wish I had got more but sand had got in the rotors and ended up with a hard landing. Tested it yesterday and should be ok for at least one more :D

No tripple nipple this trip, the dice woulda been blown out to sea! :D Great time nonetheless, 8 years since I have been to baja, with a great group of guys!

Some fotos.

The Cabrilla are for EVERYONE!!:D

[Holy Mackerel]

The Cabrilla are for EVERYONE!!:D

Hahaha, just read that line in the voice that goes with it. :D

[makobob]

Andy, hope the infection in the foot goes away, the fishing infection you can keep to share with the rest of us. Tight lines.

Stunning, breathtaking, dazzling, sensational, enchanting, alluring and definitely inviting.
