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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

Not necessarily. Though pictures help motivate others.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Mr.PukaShell Tacos W Domtesta27 DAY 1
YakDout pizza DAY 4

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.

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.

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

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

$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.

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

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.

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.

Mahigeer,
I will have a large 3 burner stove with 2 griddles along with a fire grate and another griddle to cook over an oak fire that I am bringing. So my guess is you can cook all at once and we are happy to help. Jefe

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

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.

This time of year it is MUCH better fishing in Baja. Fall is the best fishing and Gonzaga is a GREAT area. AND it LOOKS like perfect weather. HIGH 80's days mid 70's nights and winds UNDER 10 mph the whole week. PERFECT!!!!!!!!!
Great weather, fishing, family friends, and food, how could anyone ask for more? Tight Lines.

Sunday is open, but you won't be there.
Maybe you can change nights with some one else.

Paul, I am sure you are right about your BD date, but I seem to remember reading a post by you that it was on the 28th??
Am I confusing your BD date with your dinner night?

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 :)
