[makobob]

TWENTY CONFIRMED, this trip is gonna ROCK. THIS TRIP IS FULL!!!!!!


Mako's Dream is almost done. Bathroom is working, toilet and shower. We have room inside for 6-8 and the outside covered pad is 32X16 feet with room for 6 under Ramada and 6 more on roof of ramada to sleep and room to camp on the sand too. Lot's of room for YOU. It will be WARM to HOT even at night so most will want to sleep OUTSIDE to catch a breeze. There are enough people to team up for dinners, so please form 5-6 teams and post. We have a freezer there so your meat can be kept frozen if needed.

Gonna be lot's of people to feed, fish with and generally have a blast with. Speaking of a blast, some background music for evenings would be nice. Tight Lines.

[domtesta27]

BUSY BUSY, but should have no problem taking the time off for this one, It is my mandatory sanity trip...I will ask for a leave of absence for psychological reasoning. :rolleyes:

It would be great if you could make it happen. Should be a great trip AGAIN this year. FYI every trip for the past two YEARS we have seen Roosters chasing mullet on our beach. Two at 50 lbs were caught with lots of smaller ones. The smallest was a beautiful rooster the size of my hand. With all the smaller ones you got to figure they might just be residents here now.


If I can only get some time off .....this would be the one!!!!!

[MrPukaShell]

Hey Mako, count MrPukaShell in don't want to miss this one

[makobob]

Robert consider it done, and welcome back! See you soon amigo.

[domtesta27]

catching a rooster on the fly from shore would be an absolute dream come true!! ill keep my fingers crossed. I do a ton of fly tying, any good advice on patterns for that area?

Maybe I'll spin up a few dozen before the trip and give everyone a little goody box.........

Contact Baja_Traveler for his articulated mullet pattern and Fishing md might have a helmeted pattern too.

Im coming with my first fly rod, baja be warned. Really excited to catch some of the local species ON THE FLY. Couldnt imagine anything big after catching a bonefish and some spotted bay bass in san diego bay my first outing.

[makobob]

OK guys, this is the PRIME TIME trip for the FLY guys in the community, it is open to all fishermen in OUR BWE community. Those who have signed up please take the time to CONFIRM HERE, thanks. For others there in room for about 15 people maybe more under SHADE. We now have a working bathroom with SHOWER. 10 o'clock at night on 4th of July water was just right, nice and warm. Join us if you can.

[Dannowar]

Bobby,

YES I did, three mexican families were living there it was at km 114, maybe a small town will grow up there and we can name it, "Jimstown" in the founders honor. See you soon.

[Mahigeer]

I guess I can't miss this one either.

95% I am in.

I got portable water heater for the shower, if needed.

I will stay in my tent.

I hope the wind cooperates. This would be the third trip so I hope I get a chance to fish longer than last two times. The Hobie has not seen much action lately. In fact the last time was down there!

I am also been taking a condense version of Spanish language classes. Now I know What Baja California means--lower California.

[Sivak]

Count me in Bob!

[domtesta27]

Please count me in as confirmed. Counting down the days!!! would like to carpool with someone if possible though don't really wanna drive alone.

Anyone else going from Ventura county?

[YakDout]

Confirm me for this one Bob! Not missing it.

[makobob]

Welcome aboard Fishnstix and Monstafish. Is the 17 coming this time? Seeing we have lots of people I would suggest we team up for dinners. If using the restaurant and you bring the meat it will cost $5 per person plus drinks and tip. Sodas $1, beer $1.50, and they will cook meat to your order.

As of this morning we have 10 people CONFIRMED so that should cover 5 nights of cooking. Almost there, so those left out will be asked to bring stuff to share for breakfast, lunches. This is going to be a very active trip. Tight Lines.

[farreola]

count me in...will be doing either Friday am till Sunday or Friday pm till Monday.

Ill share dinner cost with someone at restaurant. Anyone game?

Hola Roberto!

I thought I had already signed up for this one but I guess I didn't . I am in brother!!!

I turn 50 on October 28, no better place to do it :p

I am good to help out with splitting dinner with someone at the restaurante. My favorite dinners down there have been at the restaurant--clean up is a snap:cheers1:

I bought a much nicer fly reel for this trip, those foaming skipjack are in trouble.

Bob I'll be there for the entire week

I'm thinking grilled pizzas. What do we have for a grill down there currently? Fresh ingredients and trader joes dough. Anyone done this before?

We have a GMG Davy Crocket Pellet Smoker/Grill. This holds a tight temp anywhere from 150 to 550 degrees. You can easily bake breads, pies, pizza, you name it. I also have pizza stone you can do 15x12 pizzas, maybe 2 at a time, if I figure a way to stack them. There are also 2 weber charcoal grills and Buddha has used one of them to do some GREAT pizzas a few trips back. The smoker will impart a light fruit wood flavor to the pizza. It will also cook/smoke any meat you might want to try, I did ribs and a tenderloin that were to die for. Smoked fish no problem. Tight Lines.

[MrPukaShell]

If needed I can bring a Pizza oven that fits on top on my stove. Not that I mind a "slight wood fired taste" at all. Up to you guys.

[makobob]

You know me and pictures, I am sure you will take and post them. This is going to be a GREAT trip. Tight Lines

Staying at campo rene? Try to find a dude by the name of Chelan at the cooperativa. He is a commercial fisherman down there who, if Okayed by his boss can take americans out fishing for the day. They have a couple of 23' super pangas that are pretty comfortable. Very affordable and the guy has some very good grouper and and yellowtail spots.

Wood Fired Pizza!!!
This smoker/grill is hard to beat. It is portable and keeps a very stable temp, from 150-550 degrees which you can set and hold in a 5 degree range. Works from your car battery or plug it into the wall. Being a pellet grill you can also control wood flavor by changing the flavor pellets.
You can slooooow cooook, bake, grill, roast. Pulled pork, burgers, brats, dogs, steaks, ribs, how about stuffed tomatoes and peppers or eggplant. Fresh baked bread, rolls, pie? Up to you.

I stay there and on the point camping. Definitely my favorite place to fish in Baja with the variety of fishing it offers. Though I've never been to Gonzaga.

[makobob]

What route are you driving???? Usually people go down Highway 1 from TJ through Guerro Negro and on to Abreojos. 13 hour drive. To get to Gonzaga from Highway 1 you have to take a turn at Chapala and go through Coco's Corner which is about 25 miles of dirt road in fair to good condition, I made this crossing last week. From Rancho Grande to Highway 1 took an hour and 15 minutes but I was pushing it. Coming back at a safer pace it took an hour and a half. Feel free to stop by and join us for dinner a night or two if you can. Tight Lines.

BRANDON, yes crossing at MEXICALI and going down mex 5 thru San Filipe, Gonzaga, Chapala back to mex 1 is quicker, prettier, and an easier drive, less mountains, fewer topes, less policia, fewer trucks and less traffic. That does make it faster and maybe smarter fuel wise. Tight Lines.

Looking forward to some fly fishing this time if the winds allow it.

I hope this 3rd trip would make up for the last two times. Especially the last one.


So here we go.......

1) Can we make this thread a sticky?

2) Should we bring firewood, or it will be too hot for fire at night?

[makobob]

I do have some fire wood (mesquite) so that should not be a problem UNLESS you want a large fire, then bring some. Evening temps could be cool enough to need a jacket or hoodie. Also bring a comfortable chair for evenings. Sun glasses, long sleeve shirts, sun screen and buffs will all make your trip more enjoyable. One extra propane bottle in the larger 5lb size for the BBQ and 10 gallons of PREIMUM gas for the Quad would cut my expenses down. I have fuel for the pellet grill. Lot's of flies, your tackle and CHECK those drags. Tight Lines.

Do you have fuel empty cans with you? If so I will give you the money to fill them up just let me know. Will also bring some wood just because.

Yes I have a couple cans. Thank you and tight lines. If you use wire leaders you can expect to loose or tear up 5-6 a day or more. I try to bring a dozen a day just in case. AGAIN check your drags as this coulg put you out of the game without an extra reel. Some cabrilla are roaming the inside areas, corvina on the beach with quite a few ROOSTERFISH from 1 to over 50 pounds in the surf and bay. Bass, bass, bass, triggers, pargo, maybe the dorado and YT will still be roaming. Be prepared for any senario, this is Baja at it's finest.

Just received it today.

A couple of concerns after reading the enclosed information pamphlet.

Do not run more than 10 minutes. Rest for 15 minutes between uses.

To inflate (4) tires, that is a lot of waiting.


Do not run engine while connected to battery.

Wouldn't running the comp. for at least (40) minutes, run the car battery down?

I guess I have to do some dry runs.

[Gr8fuldude]

Hey Bob

So glad to hear you are planning on making it down, the crew at the restaurant will all be VERY happy to see you. I'm able to maybe team up with anyone who wants to share any night for dinner at the restaurant and cook up our fresh caught fish.

And now for a report from last week: I fished three days, one at las encantadas and two in gonzaga proper. On the second day I ran into Steve (EOD) from Idaho while fishing Gonzaga. I pulled up to him and his buddy fishing out of PA's and asked him how they were doing and he said, "Hey I've fished with you before!" After he took off his buff/sunglasses I recognized Steve from last year's October trip. Happy to have the company, I fished with Steven and his buddy Brian for the next day and a half. We caught all the usual suspects (Sierras, triggers, spotties) and also got into the skippies (although they were harder for me to catch on the flyrod this time than they were last October). I also caught an 8 pound yellowtail on my 8 weight that put up a great fight. Steve's buddy Brian caught a jack crevalle and Steve caught a nice cabrilla (15 lbs?) that ended up getting us a free lunch at the restaurant in Gonzaga. Fishing wasn't always fast and furious but was plenty good enough to have me stoked to go back in a few weeks :cheers1:

Looking forward to hanging out with the group and especially Senyor Mako!!!!

[Mahigeer]

Thanks Paul for the report. Any pictures of the fish caught, or maybe of the new bathroom?

I don't follow baseball except during the World Series, usually if the Dodgers are playing.

However, this year I will be a Chicago Cubs fan for it is a historical event if they win the series.

I remember there was a TV at the restaurant, and at the hotel at the Bay.

Am I correct to assume they can get the games?

I remember we watched NFL at the restaurant at the bay. It will be great to watch it close by at Jose's place.

[Gr8fuldude]

Hashem, the TV at the restaurant is kind of hit or miss, depending on how much solar energy they have in reserve. It never hurts to ask and I think our chances of catching a baseball game are good. A nice tip wouldn't hurt :).

I didn't take any pictures of the fish, I never remember or seem to feel motivated to take pics when fishing. I know, I know, no pics it didn't happen. As for the bathroom it is nice and clean and looks great.

[Mahigeer]

I know, I know, no pics it didn't happen.

Not necessarily. Though pictures help motivate others.

I am still on the fence, but falling toward going!

If I do, I could use your help with practicing my Spanish and reviewing handouts from a recent class that I took.

Por favor.

[Jefe Dos]

We are in with 3 people driving down from San Diego. We can do a dinner Monday or Tuesday depending on what you need. I was thinking either grilled fish or steak with a grilled veggie salad and a corn risotto or pasta dish with hand made margaritas. What do you guys like to eat and what items are in short supply so we can add to the mix. Jefe Dos and crew

PM sent and WELCOME ABOARD, remember this place was build for BWE members to USE. Come early, stay late, it is yours to utilize. Keys at restaurant see Luis. Tell him I will be there on the 24th around noon.

I take you guys to the restaurant on my night, I provide the MEAT, they do the rice, beans, tortillas HOMEMADE, an usually a salad. I pay them $5.00 per person to cook and clean up, for me it means more time to fish and enjoy Baja. You can do the same or cook and clean up in camp.

BRING a comfortable chair for the evening campfire or sit on the throne. Tight Lines.

[makobob]

If you have all the parts we should be able to do the install down there if you cannot get it done before the trip............
We ARE TWO weeks out for this trip.

WE will meet up at Johnny's shell station in El Cajon just off the 8 and Magnolia by 5 am and caravan from there. Stopping at the am/pm just before the turn on to 111 for the border, for fuel, then stopping again in San Felipe for fuel and breakfast then on into camp before noon. Any questions please ask. Tight Lines.


YES.

It looks that way.

Starting to pack tomorrow.

I have not used the kayak since last time I was there. It is sitting on its side on Styrofoam blocks. I hope it is ok.
Though not necessary, I like to install the fish finder on it.

Hey bob cant wait for the trip. So happy to see you are well now and cant wait to talk baja! Are we going to hold you guys up too much if us three (myself, mike, shane) have to stop to get fmm's? Im sure we collectively can make it down if you guys need to get down the road.

[Mahigeer]

I would need FMM too.

[YakDout]

I would need FMM too.



Mahi, you can fill it out here online print, and just get it stamped at the border. I recommend it to save sometime. I am leaving sunday the 30th so I am going to do the under 8 day visa which is no cost. If you are going for eight days or more, you will need the paid one.

[makobob]

WE can stop for them. Just takes a few minutes. Parking should be ok.

[Mahigeer]

I dont even bother anymore.

Since I don't speak Spanish and am too cute to go to Mexican jail, I will not take any chance on legal issues when I am down there.

I am working on my dual citizenship, so I wont have to worry any of that stuff!!!

I am still planing on going on the trip.
Colin will have to be working on his ship in Seattle so he can't make.
Bill who was down with us last time is going to take his place.
We plan on doing diner at the restaurant, Chicken Mole. It was great last time.
Will be driving down 10/26. Plan on staying until Sunday.
Really looking forward to the trip.

Let me know if there is anything you need brought down. I live in Escondido, so could pick up what ever you need.

I'm thinking I might stop by around the 26th or 27th. I'll have my zero gravity and a blanket so I will find a place to bed down. Still undecided as to whether I'll bring my gear with me.

[makobob]

Was hoping you would make it with Bill. We will keep an eye out for you guys and our amigo Ross. As to clothing sizes one child 5 years old Jose Jr. adults sizes unknow, mostly average to large women, mens shirts medium to large.
pants, shirts, jackets as winter is coming for them. Waist 32-38 for the men. Good hand and power tools are always needed.

I finally found the file, and here is the revised version.



We meet at 5:00 AM at Johnny's Shell station in El Cajon located at 515 N. Magnolia Ave. Just off of the freeway (8) at the exit #67, N. Magnolia.

From there we stay on the freeway (8) to the exit #98, follow about 30 miles to the highway (111) and take left to border crossing, San Diego to border 125 miles.


From there we follow the highway Mex (5) thru Mexicali, follow signs to San Filipe, Puertocitos, Rio Hardy staying on the highway Mex (5) all the way to San Filipe. Another 125 miles.
Going through San Filipe take right at sign to Puertocitos/airport, go about 9 km to sign saying Puertocitos and take a left, DO NOT go to the airport.
From here is another 95 miles to camp.

VADO means dip in road and years ago they could and would take your rear axle out, SLOW DOWN for them. At km 60-65 be very careful. When you reach km 134 you went 100 yards too far. Sign to camp will say Campo Turistico and you take a left. Up until now roads are all good at (60) mph unless posted lower and passable by any car. At turn off for camp it is unpaved dirt road, [15-25] mph but bumpy. Camp is about 1/2 mile from main road.

It is suggested lowering your air pressure at turnoff on your first trip, to about (20) psi. There are/is compressor in camp. Follow until you crest hill and go down to beach, restaurant is on your left, in front of restaurant take a left and follow until you have to take a right at trees, then go 100 feet and take a left, 100 feet and we are on the left 50 yards of soft sand, stay on tire tracks at (20) mph to top, park left by garage.
The sand on the beach can be very soft at times.

WELCOME TO PARADISE.

Every one going on these trips for the first time, should print out a copy of this and carry with you JUST INCASE we get separated.

[SDROB]

mostly large women.

Just the way Mako likes them! They give you shade in the summer and keep him warm in the winter. Well at least thats what Rossman told me! No wonder he's in baja almost year round:D

ROB you understand that my wife reads these posts?????? The locals are happy, friendly, poor but rich in family values. Hardworking and make life long friends. Respect is much valued among them and truth is king. They are a wonderful addition to my life. That is why I will be with them for New Years Eve again this year.

Hey sivak, I think Im going to end up cooking actually. Im sure you can find someone on the trip who is doing a dinner at the restaurant.

[fishnstix]

You can add me and a friend to the reconfirmed list. We will be going down on the 22nd and heading back the 29th. Is the final count 12 plus us? I will do burgers or something one of the nights...PM me your cell number.

Any current fish reports?

Roger that. Last time I found a website for Gonzaga Bay, but I can't find it now. I will look again.


Now for help with Spanish;

At the border I am asked by non-English speaking officers (why do they have them there?) as "where are you going?".

Can you provide a simple answer like--I am going fishing for a week at Gonzaga Bay.


Thanks Amigo.

[YakDout]

There's 2 main questions you will be asked at any checkpoint in mex....

A donde vas? (or a donde va usted) = where are you going?
Voy/Vamos a bahia gonzaga para pescar por una semana.

De donde vienes? (de donde viene usted) = where did you come from?
Somos (we are)/ venimos (we came) de ___________.

How about;

I am with a group and going to Gonzaga Bay for a week of fishing.


I am coming back from Gonzaga Bay after a week of fishing and going to Mexicali.

Sure, here you go. Try this:

Hola, yo soy un narcotraficante y tengo un monton de drogas y armas en la cajuela de mi carro.

[rossman]

Exactly! Less is more with these guys. I normally just point to where I came and say Bahia Asuncion and point the direction I am going and say Bahia Gonzaga. Becation? Si.

Jeff's group just got back, very few sierras, lots of bass, triggers. Big fish wereTWO roosters one 30 and one 35#. Cabrilla 10 and 12 pounds, snapper 12# and corvina 6-7 and 10 pounds. While Jeff said this was his worst fishing in BAJA everyone caught good fish and enjoyed the weather. Hopefully some of them will post. Tight Lines,

With friends like you, who needs enemies.

Thanks for a good chuckle.

I agree the less is better.

[Gr8fuldude]

I'm also in the camp of less is more. Because I can rattle off in spanish without a thick accent, they'll often come back at me with something I can't understand. But that helps grow my spanish and enriches the experience.

?De donde viene usted? Answer: California

?A donde va usted? A pescar en Gonzaga.

Anything beyond that may just lead to confusion, and possible offending the guy with the big gun. Whatever you do, under no circumstances should you ever use the word mother (madre) in Spanish to someone you don't know very well.

If you want to practice your Spanish, probably better to pick someone other than military personnel :D

[makobob]

10X less is better, be RESPECTFUL!!!!! How would YOU feel stuck out in the middle of no where for a couple years? AFTER it is done I usually offer a two liter soda and a thank you. Just because....

[Mahigeer]

All good advice. Thanks all.

I have in the past first tried to find out if they (at the border) speak English.

They did not in couple of occasions, and they asked where am I going? I had help by others and there was no problem.

Some of the soldiers did speak little English and no problemo there either.

As to respect to authority, I have always been and believe it is the right attitude.

[YakDout]

Bob, or anyone, do we know if we are doing three per dinner? Two per dinner?

[makobob]

Bob, or anyone, do we know if we are doing three per dinner? Two per dinner?

That is up to you guy's to figure out. Hashem and I are sharing a dinner with you guys at the restaurant on night 3. Tight lines.

[YakDout]

Mr.PukaShell Tacos W Domtesta27 DAY 1

YakDout pizza DAY 4

Makobob DAY 6



With 15 people on the trip I think 3 people per night will be fine. Faster cook and faster cleanup.

Ok so right now:

Pukashell and Domesta Day 1

Makobob and hashem Day 3

Myself, mikescales and monstafish Day 4


The rest of you guys on the trip need to jump in here and partner up and pick a day to cook. Whether it be at the restaurant or at Bobs. There are 7 nights total. Some will leave earlier. There are only 7 people accounted for on a night right now. The other 8 need to pick a night to cook.

[Mahigeer]

Senior Bob,

Do you have heavy items to load to your truck for the trip?

If so, do you have someone to help you load your truck on Sunday before the trip?

Unfortunately I am too far to be able to help. Maybe some of the members here who are closer can help out.

Of course at the camp I will be glad to lend a hand if needed.

On the lighter side;
I picked up my Mexican fishing license for a one year duration for ready-----$10.00. I think I paid more last time.

Getting serious about packing on Monday.
I also picked up a new 30 cm wheeleez kayak cart from Randy of OEX on Saturday. Some Pesos and cash for the trip as well.
Furthermore, I have two kayak seats for sale if anybody interested. One brand new and one bought at OEX and used only few times. PM me for pictures and if you want me to bring them to Baja.

[YakDout]

Bob, I can gladly help you Sunday afternoon with any loading you may need help with. Im gonna be crashing at shanes house in Carlsbad so I will pass through vista Sunday and can stop and help. Let me know.

Sounds like you may have gotten the one day mexican fishing license. I believe its closer to $40 for a year.

[makobob]

Brandon, thank you for the offer, but not much packing for me. I pack ice chest in truck, just add ice and food. ALL camping stuff is already in Gonzaga so it is just clothing and food. Everything alse is now packed in truck. I am ready to go. Tight Lines


The two roosterfish were caught last week on a Shamano wax wing and a crock one was 30# and the other 35#+.

Temps days 80's and 90's, nights low 70's and high 60's YOU will need a sweater or jacket in the evenings. Winds expected still below 10 for the first couple days, LONG RANGE looks good for low winds for the duration. Please be prepared to FISH!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mahigeer]

Bob, glad to hear that you are packing light.


The dates for the fishing license, show one year.

$10.00 maybe the shop's fee, and the 707 pesos maybe charged by Mexican F&G independently on my CC.

I have to wait for my CC statement.

Since my Spanish is not efficient yet. Up to now I did not want take a chance of ordering on line (like the shop does) by myself.

Next year I will try differently.

Who wants to share a night with me at the restaurant? If we bring the fish they'll cook it up with rice, beans, tortillas, salsa, etc for $5/plate. No need to cook, no clean up, support the local restaurant, like Bob says, that'll leave more time for fishing :reel:

Jefe, please confirm a day you will be cooking or supplying dinner from the restaurant for the group. Days 1, 3, and 4 are taken already. You can pair up with your buddies as there are 15 of us on the trip. Poppers, waxwings, small metal jigs. Rooster are real fast so biggest thing is to make sure you are using a very high speed reel.

Nice, a week from NOW we should be fishing an incoming tide towards full. A good corvina tide on the beach.

Bob I will probably bring some salmon but I certainly will fish for Corvina hard while I am there and if I get one, to the restaurant it goes.

[ful-rac]

Not sure how the new Drive is gonna hold up to sand...it looks like it might get jammed up by it. So if you guys borrow Bobs drive keep the sand off of it! :sifone:

[Jefe Dos]

Makobob,

I have a small cargo trailer with a deep cycle battery I want to charge during the day. I am looking at a 50 watt package that includes the controller and all the wiring to keep this battery topped off so I can charge a tune box to take to the beach, and maybe a couple other electronic devices.

How safe would a small solar panel be set up on the ground or on top of my 5x8 cargo trailer?

[makobob]

At my camp it should be safe, I have 3 diffrent people to keep an eye out. While things sometimes disapear we have been theft free. I leave the camp OPEN except when I am gone, during the day I have no worries and like I said 3 people keep an eye out even when I am around. Should be fine.

We will be spending some time down at the beach some days so we can watch the place a bit. Much appreciated that you have a cool place with people looking out for each other.

Does the restaurant have a name?

I plan on bringing a 3 burner propane stove so we can crank one big meal. If you want to take some pressure off the fishermen we can do our dinner on Monday. We are making a huge pot of jambalaya with some steaks. Either Tri Tip or those marinated hanger/flap steaks from Costco. We are also looking at Shrimp Scampi for an appetizer. We usually make more than we can eat and use the leftover meat for next day sandwiches. You tell me what you need and we can crank out some food for the masses.

[makobob]

I everyone shows on time we should have 15 in camp. I also have a 3 burner Denali stove, and a couple of coleman two burners also a GMG Davey crockett smoker/grill. You might need a big pot. No name restaurant but it sits at the end of the road in on your left, can't miss it. KM 133.75

Hey Mr. Bob do you have a working compressor at camp? I'm thinking about bringing a bottle of air or compressor since last time is was a bit challenging to get my tires filled at the restaurant.

NEW Compressor at restaurant, one in camp too and hopefully one mounted in my truck.

You're the man Bob. Looking forward to some Baja time at the BWE campo.

[Dannowar]

Just a few more days!!!!!

Mellow tides and hopefully some clear water!!

[Mahigeer]

So far wind looks good too.

[makobob]

So far wind looks good too.

RIGHT NOW 84 degrees, winds at 4 mph, paradise is waiting on us to arrive. Bring lot's of flies and jigs. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and WATER.

[fishnstix]

Do you need pellets for the smoker? I will cook a few tri tips for sandwiches and a tray of baked beans one of the nights dinners...

Headed down on Saturday with a freind

[makobob]

I have some pellets, I think as I was not on the last trip I am not sure. A bag would not hurt. Thanks, Tri Tips YUM. How long and what temp do you use? I have fresh spices for your rub if you use one. The GMG Davey Crockett will hold any temp from 150 to 550 for hours. Never see it fluxuate more then 5 degrees.

I will if you still need someone, I am there the 27th thru the 31st.

Sounds good Sivak. Let's take the 28th for dinner at the restaurant. That'll give you some time to catch the Corvina for dinner! I love the pic of your flyrod Corvina you posted earlier, very cool!!!!!!

Paul

[farreola]

Bob, glad to hear that you are packing light.


The dates for the fishing license, show one year.

$10.00 maybe the shop's fee, and the 707 pesos maybe charged by Mexican F&G independently on my CC.

I have to wait for my CC statement.

Since my Spanish is not efficient yet. Up to now I did not want take a chance of ordering on line (like the shop does) by myself.

Next year I will try differently.

Sounds about right 707 pesos is about $38, depending on the exchange rate. Add the $10 and it comes out to $48. You can also purchase the licenses in Mexicali and or San Felipe.

If anyone has the huevos to paddle to the islands I can tow you back

[makobob]

HUEVOS, HUEVOS you say that's only 4.8 miles on a lw tide. Don't take no huevos to do that, just watch out for the wind.

We will take night 2 for dinner which should be Tuesday and crank out food for 15+.

Looking forward to the mayhem and getting away from work for some Baja fun in the sun!

Please let me know if you need anything besides basic supplies already discussed, which we have and will leave you the extras.

[makobob]

There is never too much firewood or charcoal. Still looking for a large USED pot
for steaming clams, cooking pasta for 15 or to cook a big PULPO. Maybe a roll of heavy duty aluminum foil.

DO NOT FORGET flies, crocks, magabaits, flat falls, plastics. REMEMBER if it WIGGLES it will get BIT!!!!! You guys ARE going to have so much fun.

I'm in for some island fun on the yak (again)

[monstahfish]

I'll be hitting the reef north of the island! I know where the big grouper and snapper like to hang:cool: I welcome others on this run it's about 7 miles with the ability to hide behind the island along the way. I recommend bringing something to troll along the way, might get a mahi or something cool.

Mako's Dream is almost done. Bathroom is working, toilet and shower. We have room inside for 6-8 and the outside covered pad is 32X16 feet with room for 6 under Ramada and 6 more on roof of ramada to sleep and room to camp on the sand too. Lot's of room for YOU. It will be WARM to HOT even at night so most will want to sleep OUTSIDE to catch a breeze. There are enough people to team up for dinners, so please form 5-6 teams and post. We have a freezer there so your meat can be kept frozen if needed.

I am bringing a 24 qt stainless pot with lid to make Jambalaya and possibly fish tacos. It is yours to use whenever we are not. Jefe

[Mahigeer]

I will be preparing (48) lamb chops. They are thick, but not very big.

Does anybody have a B.B.Q big enough to do them all at once?


The restaurant can prepare them in a pan, but it may take some time to do them all.

How do you get the mesquite? Do you get it by the truckload? If so how much?

Thanks,

Puka

[makobob]

One of two ways. Once a year or so I can go cut some a couple miles from camp, or I can buy some from a local. Buying is more of a donation to a needy family in the area.

Youngest of five, parents split up shortly thereafter in a shitstorm of a divorce :boxing_smiley:. Noone could remember exactly when my bday was so they decided it was the 29th and called it good. Found out when we dusted off the birth certificate seventeen years later it was actually on the 28th! But the 29th was on all my other documents (driver's license, etc.), and it was part of my identity, so there you go!

Probably more than you wanted to know, but there it is :)
