17-24 April GONZAGA Spring

[makobob]

RED SLED TEAM Spring break trip to Paradise. 17 to 24 April Easter Week. Trip is open to all in the BWE community. Those wishing to attend please post here.

The KITCHEN will be open, so we have the option to cook in camp or go to the restaurant for meals. Those attending will be responsible for one nights meal for the rest of our camp. You bring the food, cook it and clean up after, or you bring the meat to the restaurant, they cook, serve, and do the clean up, it cost you $5.00 per person for this service. The restaurant provides the rice, beans, tortillas. Drinks and tip is extra. Gives you more fishing time, you just tell them when you want dinner to be ready.

[Mahigeer]

Looking forward to it.

I may even do a Turkish dinner night.

Or a Persian dinner night.

[makobob]

Coming up soon, who is going?????

[farreola]

I'll be there, just don't know exactly what dates.

[makobob]

I'll be there, just don't know exactly what dates.

OK Frank, if you bring your paint sprayer I'll bring the paint to do the exterior of the garage and the kitchen. Should only take part of one day, I hope.

So guys this is an open trip, all BWE members, friends and family are welcome,
if YOU are not a member, just sign into BWE and join our Community. Only takes a minute or two.

After this trip BAJA gets HOT weatherwise, but then so does the fishing. Tight Lines.

[Mahigeer]

Depending on how the April 2-8 trip goes, I may have keep the 4Runner loaded, and only take down the kayak from the roof!!


let's see how it goes.

[stevie951]

Hey Mako, Please add me to the list!! Sentri app. pending for the 11th in San Ysidro so I hope to convoy on down with the rest off you! As well, count me in for some physical labor if need be, least I can do for you considering your invitation to paradise!

[makobob]

WELCOME Aboard, Frank Stevie and Hashem, Summer is coming and when it gets here it WILL be TOO HOT for most of you, unless you BYO air conditioner. Had someone jump in his truck to run AC and cool off already THIS spring. Tight Lines.

[buddha]

I might be able to do this trip if I could carpool or if I rode with a person with a sentri and they could drop me off near the walk in and I could meet them on the other side. I do not have a sentri pass.

[makobob]

Just back from camp. Bass, corvina, bigger triggers, one toutava released, sierras too, along with a few Yellow tail.
I would like to leave on the 16th early. Who is actually going? And are we caravaning together? Please post now. Tomorrow my Solo Skiff heads to OEX Mission Bay for full rigging.

Guys, please confirm, so I know what is going on and we can have fun. The Gregor boat works great down there, but does use fuel so if you want to use it plan on bringing 3-4 gallons a day of PREMIUM gas. You will also need to bring a marine VHF radio. This boat is for TWO PERSONS only.
CONFIRM, CONFIRM. Tight Lines.

Will confirm tomorrow for sure as I have to square up a few things but all is looking good (having VHF issues, may have to send it back to Standard Horizon tomorrow not sure on the turnaround rate, will call customer service tomorrow am)

In re. to caravaning, Buddah i would brutha but I'm taking my civic coupe which will be filled to the tee including passenger seat with all my junk :/ Bob, yes i would like to meet up with you guys as this will be my first time and would appreciate the comfort of traveling with fellow Americans :D:p

And mako, in re. to the AC/Heat, what do people usually use as i assume there is no power ports other than the generator which is reserved for special circumstances? just curious but nothing a beach umbrella, lounge chair and a dip in the drink can't fix right? Looking into a smaller electric generator at this time... Was looking at a little 200 dollar honda gas powered generator but not sure if that would be too much noise in the camp so I am opting for the latter and going electric unless you give the green light for gas powered :D


Oh, and should be able to leave Sunday, would that change the return date to the 23rd or?

:cheers1:

Had another great week at MakoBob's slice of paradise. If you are bringing meat down for the restaurant I suggest Chicken for "Chicken Mole" and pork for "Chile Verde". All of the meals at the La Poma Restraunt were great. Breakfast there made the mornings easy. The fish and shrimp tacos make a great lunch.

Sounds awesome, can't wait to see all the write ups!

In. re to the day you're responsible for dinner, and you recommending mole or the chile verde, do we have to bring all the ingredients as well or just a few lbs of meat, and the $5 per head and they will take care of the rest?

As well, whats the gas situation like? I plan on bringing a few gallons of premium for the gregor but will I want to bring a spare 5 gallons for my car or will running out of gas not be a problem this time of year? Do you guys usually stop for anything over the border or NO, is everything purchased here in the states and we simply go for the straight shot down with no stops?

Just trying to get all my ducks in a row, i know you can never be to prepared for anything but.. Lol, headed down to Ysidro tomorrow for the SENTRI app. then will stop off @ INM to get the FMM stamped I'm gonna buy online later. all recommendations are greatly appreciated ha, as it's my first time :cheers1:

[SDROB]

@Stevie 951

Plenty of gas in San Felipe, make sure to top off there and your good. Than fill up again there on the way back.
Bring the meat for $5 bucks a head they pretty much do everything else. Usually Rice n Beans, tortillas and salsa and sometimes salad.

I just got back yesterday. Good times definitely had by all!

You will be missed and NOW you have to unpack, bummer more work for you Arkadash, tight lines amigo.

The Machaca for breakfast is awesome (especially when they make it with your leftover pulled pork)...

I have posted several reports. Look them up here. I am working on the most recent one.

Check it out when posted soon.

I also have a long list of what I bring posted that you can modify to your needs.

Head net for flies just made the list.

OH! That does sound good.

Stevie951, how did the interview go? Now just a couple more weeks and you get your card. I plan on being at Johnny's Shell station in El Cajon at 4am on Sunday morning. Then it is off to PARADISE. Farroela might show up in camp and Buddha might be riding with me so it will be a small group. Tight Lines.

Hey Mako, Interview went well, I was approved! Yeah as you stated unfortunately tho the card won't arrive for 3-14 days, unsure if it will arrive before Sunday? If it does not i'm not sure about going down because i have never been and def. don't want to risk getting lost.. Maybe a sign since the rest of the group practically is unable to attend? Nonetheless, i am still willing to go, just don't want to hit hours long wait times you know and or make others wait those times so i can rejoin the caravan so am willing to wait till next trip comes around memorial day. Still a possibility though the card can arrive by Friday or satrurday :confused:

Let me know amigo.

Tight lines!

[makobob]

Not a problem Stevie, your card will NOT show up in time for this trip, 10 days is the fastest I have heard, mine was 18 days. See you for the next one. BTW I will be at the HOW Tourney on Saturday and check Sat evening to see if it did actually show up. Tight Lines.

Bummer :/ Yeah, hopes are high but realistic... See you @ the HOW tourney brother, can't wait to meet you and the crew!

:cheers1:

[farreola]

I will be leaving until Monday or Tuesday, maybe you get your card by then...Check with me and you can fallow me down...or you can leave your car at my house in Calexico and drive with me to Bobs.

[makobob]

Nice, see you guys in camp. Tight Lines amigos.

[stevie951]

Perfect, yes no following you would be more than perfect per me getting it.. Will keep you posted. Thanks for the offer! :cheers1:

[MrPukaShell]

You can follow Mako to the border line and no way to get lost from there. He will then move over one lane to be in the SENTRI line. Gas is no issue as long as you keep trips to Gonzaga down to a couple. Top off on the way down and on the way back if needed in San Felipe. Yes bringing down meat for the restaurant is the way to go unless you want to cook something special at camp. The Chile Verde was excellent and the Chicken Mole is always a crowd favorite. All meals at the restaurant were excellent. Start off fishing in the AM by the point. Start your drift in 30 or so feet of water and drift out to deeper. Look for triggers and spotties with jigs or mega baits. Deeper water will produce Sierra and Corvina so look around. Check out the finger reefs to the North at low tide to get and idea of the structor you will be fishing. Hopefully the whales will still be around for you to check out. You don't need a SENTRI card to visit Mexico just a longer wait to get back to the US. Just roll up your windows, turn on the air and get ready to shake your head "NO". Get ready to have some fun. Bring a pair of binoculars to check out the sights
