Suprised none of you guys are interested in mothership/panga trip to San Martin. This is an oppertunity to fish the island for a day on your kayak.

Get two buddies together and take a three day weekend, summer is wasting. You worked hard this year, you deserve a weekend off. Tight lines.

[SDROB]

Im up for any weekend in August. I would like to fish around San Martin Island but Im willing to go wherever the fish are. Anyone else? MakoBob? BajaTraveler?

MONEY!!! ME Holmes...Jim

[Iceman]

Killer deal, I would if I could!

[SDROB]

Awesomeness! Let me know which weekend you want to roll Jimbo. Im sure we can find a third person to make this happen. If not I might be down to drop the extra hundred to make the trip a go.

Rob, you and Jim set the weekend and I am in. Tony said up to 4 so maybe room for one more!!!

[ful-rac]

This trip would make an epic video for sure! If they can safely and reliably transport those kayaks over to the island and back...It would be insane!

[SDROB]

Glad your in Mako, its been too long since we fished together! August in San Quintin is gonna be hot hot but great for Peligics.

FYI I just remembered its my Grandma's 80th birthday August 9th so I can go any weekend in August except that one. I would never be forgiven if I missed that!

It looks like this trip is a go! Lets see which weekend works best for Jim

[SDROB]

I agree.

I myself have my doubts about transporting 4 kayaks and four people from a Panga but you know how they do in Baja! Mexican's in general, I remember riding in my dads volkswagon with 7 others. To this day I still don't know how we all fit in that damn thing!

Sounds like its gonna be a great trip. I think you should join us ful-rac!

[Zed]

Tow them.

[ship 4 brains]

Silly question - but how do you get to San Quintin?

[SDROB]

I would if I could!

Im starting to think Iceman has this line on stand by so he can copy and paste it in on this forum. I keep seen this from him. :sifone:

[SDROB]

Silly question - but how do you get to San Quintin?

Down Highway 1. About 4-5 hour drive South of San Diego. Same way as going to Rosarito or Ensenada just more south.

[makobob]

Silly question - but how do you get to San Quintin?

TJ down MEX 1 to San Quintin. 250 miles or about 5 hours. Good road all the way.

[ful-rac]

Towing them would work, and is probably the only way to do it especially with PAs....but....somebody is gonna lose a handle or two or three...:eek:

[Zed]

Is your name Tony Murphy? Cause if it could go wrong it would be your PA.

Back when motherships were being introduced (Orion. What a tug.) we had to supply our own bow and stern lines for easy loading/unloading but also for daisy chains of kayaks (not PAs) on moves from spot to spot. I assume 4 kayaks daisychained behind the panga is what theyd do inSQ. Just hope the mouth isnt breaking.

[tattuna]

Myself, Grego, Gabe and Gabe's bro in law did a mothership from SQ to San Martin back in July of '07. We fit 3 of our yaks on a super panga and got dropped off at the island with Tiburon's Pangas. That was a fun adventure. Mostly smaller yellows and sandbass on our trip back then.

[Zed]

On a superpanga. There ya go.

[Deamon]

Details...details. PA14. Gotta figure that out. If anything goes wrong w my Hobie, Tony told me Andy's got my back...:D
Drop my arse on a reef so I can catch good reds on light tackle all day long!
I've got some flexibility in dates but if I had one, Aug 21st. I'll be a one and done though. Drive in late Th /F, fish Sat, drive home Sun.

[erinoo]

Im in on a trip like this.

[FlyFishinYakr]

First of all, thanks to Bob and Kai for checking this out! :notworthy:
From all the responses this looks like this could be a good option for a lot of the members here!
I'm going to have to get in shape to do this one but I'm considering it by the end of summer. San Martin has always been a favorite 3-day trip for me out of San Diego (The Searcher).
FFY :sifone:

Robert, things seem to be looking up for you. GREAT, end of summer sounds good, get me a weekend and lets see what we can do. This should not be too bad on you phisically as we get a boat ride both ways.

[SDROB]

Okay guys I am going to contact Tony today to confirm our captain is available for mothership trip August 22nd. Once I have confirmation I will update here on this thread.

Anglers so far are:

Me
Deamon
Mako Bob
Erinoo ( I'm in on a trip like this) I'm guessing this means he is in? Please confirm.

Hey ROBMONEY,

Looks like I may be going there in July. If July falls out and you still have a spot I'll go with you Hooligans, well Jim's a Hooligan....Eric

[Iceman]

Thanks Bob! Been talking to Tony and am lined up in July, we will work out the kinks for you guys going in August :D.

[rossman]

Throw that hundred bucks in the gas tank and come to Bahia Asuncion. Better calico fishing. (my opinion) and you don't have to deal with kelp. See em on the meter, drop on them and get them off the bottom as quick as you can. Got one on 25 straight drops yesterday. Smallest maybe 14 inches and largest 22.Plus you have the chance for a 50 lb yellow as by catch.

[makobob]

Good for you Andy. We just wanted to let BWE know that many things are doable if they want or try. Gonna be a great summer.

GUY'S it does not matter where you go, THIS IS the SUMMER, get out there and DO IT!!!!!! Ross you are right about the Calico fishing. See you end of JULY.

[SDROB]

Okay guys it's official I just heard back from Tony today and we have a confirmed reservation for August 22nd.

Confirmed anglers are:
Me
Makobob
Deamon
Gr8fuldude

This trip is now full.

Kelly from K and M just posted this a few days ago form San Quintin. Lets go getem guys! This should be good with Iceman going before us to help work out all the kinks! Lets just hope he leave's us some fish too catch!

[Gr8fuldude]

I'm good to get in on the Aug 22nd trip if there is still room. I have my new WS Thresher coming in next week, getting fully rigged by Andy, it should be a good setup for this SQ deal.

Any chance of fishing two days, or is this a one and done type of deal?

Just added you in Gr8fuldude. It's a little early for me to see if I can get a day off of work to fish 2 days but I'm not saying no. It is definitely a possibility, If Jim or Bob want to jump in with you I'd be happy to help arrange it.

Sweet! Thanks Money. Getting a second day would be ideal for me, but one is better than none :)

[Baja_Traveler]

Its great to see this taking off!

I told Tony that once the word got out (and especially trip reports back to BWE) He'd have kayakers lining up to take these fishing trips.

After I get a new roof on my house in July, I'll be picking up a kayak more suitable to these types of trips and joining you all (A PA 14 is great, but too big of a tank for this...).

I'll be back down to Don Eddies with Bob for an August 8th tournament, then maybe later August on a Panga trip...

[Aquahunter]

Looks like an awesome trip to go to. I might be in if the cost and a ride is just right for my budget.

[SDROB]

Guys I just got word from the captain. He actually cancelled out on us! His excuse was he didn't know there was some tournament that weekend and his boats were pre-booked for the tournament.

I was really looking forward to this trip too.


I sent you guys a PM for an alternative solution. Lemme know what you guys want to do.

[HobieScot]

Towing them would work, and is probably the only way to do it especially with PAs....but....somebody is gonna lose a handle or two or three...:eek:

Exactly! With the way the drive those pangas unless you have the built in handle like the PA's the old handles on the out backs would be a gonner! lol

The way they launch and recover those pangas is like commando fishing!

'm down for the alternative you suggested Rob, heat don't scare me none :cheers1: Also, I could probably do the SQ deal another weekend if a group wants to go down. Baja+Kayak Fishing=Good Times.
