Mako,
Any chance you got room for 2 more. Planning to go that way on the 22 and stay till 26. If your not going to be around any suggestions on where to fish or camp till the group gets there.

Plenty of room at the inn, not a problem if you show up early, just stop at restaurant and get keys from Luis. Tight Lines.

[battleborn]

Thanks for the hospitality. As always a class act! Cheers.

I will be going down 5/20-27 with me and 2 others. I am planning on catching all the fish before the group shows up so bring a book to read as the fish will all be caught by the time you get there...100 fish days?

[makobob]

REMINDER most have been down before so each individual or each group will be responsible for one nights dinner for everyone in camp. On your own for Breakfast and lunches. Restaurant is available too. Tight Lines, BTW Fishnstix there ia s reason fish have fins. And I have 100 fish a day stickers for the guys WHO get to that level.......................

[makobob]

This will be a great trip. And maybe a surprise visit from a fisherman from UTAH.

[WestFork]

Congratulations to Stevie951 who got his sentri card and is ready to go on this outing. Having just returned, there were lots of 10-20 yellow around, big sierra and triggers, REMEMBER your wire leaders!!!!!!! We had a guy last year who lost $60 worth of jigs in less then 10 minutes. PS the sierra WERE bigger then the yellowtail.

Guys I will be out of state from the 29th of April until 13 May on the Kentucky trip, Tight Lines.

Thanks, Bob! I have lots of bits and pieces on order for outfitting my new (to me) old Outback. Rudder tuneup, shock cords replaced, as well as broken padeyes, adding jam cleats too. Mounting parts for the FF transducer, battery, etc. Also anchor. Lots to do, but I'm planning to be there. I'm already excited!

On 24 May I will be at Johnny's Shell Station in El Cajon at 4 am, we will leave at 5am for Mexicali. I will need to know who is caravaning with me, so please post here if you are joining the caravan.

Please remember sunscreen, sun glasses and tackle. We do a group dinner every evening, you are on your own for breakfast and lunch. Tight Lines and I will be back from Kentucky on the 13th.

Bob, I am in +1 May 26th thru the 30th

Looking forward to another stellar trip.

[makobob]

Looks like a full house, is anyone besides Stevie951 going to meet me at Johnnys? Guys you need to team up with someone on the list to do dinner for a night. Otherwise we will wind up with too much food and some will be waisted. Thanks and remember I am out of towm starting 29th until the 13th. Tight Lines.

I've been having the same thought about an evening meal. I like cooking if there's someone who'd like to, also, message me, please.
Bob, not sure where I'll hook up, but I'll know by the time you come back. It will either be there or in Calexico.

[Baja_Traveler]

I can team up for a dinner the night of the 27th or 28th - the days I know I can be there. When I arrive and leave will be up to my work testing schedule which I will not know until the week of, maybe the week before if I'm lucky.

[battleborn]

Tom and i will already be in town so we could take first meal on the 24th

Anyone know exactly how that works? Just bring in some meat and they whip it up just pay the price per head. I mean that sounds like a really great deal! BTW anyone have gps cords to bobs place. Read the directions but since its the first time there just want to be extra sure. Working on the mex auto insurance. Any other tips for the trip?

I recommend reading my old posts here. Including my famous list.

I should have the coordinates in my Garmin. I will post it later, if I can figure how to retrieve it.

Main point is not to pass KM134 sign on the highway. Look for a big horizontal water tank on left and make a left turn to a dirt road.

[Mahigeer]

This is what I found in the link below:
http://www.gps-coordinates.net/

Unnamed Road, Baja California, Mexico
Latitude: 29.908716 | Longitude: -114.461044

[Baja_Traveler]

Of course, it you travel down with one of the groups it will be easy to find the place.

Puka Shell - the more I use that Honey from the San Felipe Honey Man, the more awesome it tastes. I'll have to agree with my original source - it is definitely the best honey I've ever had, so don't forget to stop in.

West Fork and I are teaming up for dinner on the 28th - 11 hour smoked pulled pork and slaw again. It worked really well last time, so I think its worth doing again.
We'll make enough pulled pork so there is plenty of leftovers - the restaurant will put it in their Machaca the next morning for breakfast - it tastes awesome.

[farreola]

Bob I plan on leaving on the 26th after I get out of work...so that should put me at the camp at around 7pm. I plan to come back on the 30th, so if there is anyone that wants to team up for a cooking day, let me know.

I'm down to team up one of those nights! Let me know how you think works best, I love to cook and can whip up some mean dishes but it just seems easier to give the meat to the restaurant; nonetheless, let me know what you're thinking! :cheers1:

[Jefe Dos]

On an unrelated topic-Due to back injuries I need a custom trailer built that would be 40" wide and roughly 13' long to hold my Hobie Outback for storage in my front yard. I only have 40" to work with on the gate opening.

My goal is to have this kayak stored on the trailer with a tarp on it and ready to hook up to drive 5 miles to La Jolla. I could limit my speed to 50-55mph if necessary. All the trailers I find are minimum 48" wide due to the axle size. For longer trips I would have somebody help me lift the boat onto my 4Runner.

Thanks, Jeff

[Gr8fuldude]

Hey Robert, I can only do the 26th-28th this trip, a real quickie. I'd be happy to share dinner duties with you any of those nights. Thanks for asking.

[MrPukaShell]

Hey Bob, Robert & Paul will do dinner at the restaurant on the 26th if no one has taken that date.

[Sivak]

Gents, if you have not already committed to a dinner please do so and add yourself to this schedule. If the list is full and you are not on it, just add your name to another group and we'll figure it out. If there are any mistakes to the list, please adjust as necessary.

Thank you

Side note, any of you guys have luck in the past paying for cheap liability insurance online anywhere? How much am i looking at? Looking to get it done nice and easy, or am I better off calling my Insurance? Was Checking out Bajabound.com looks like they do it 3rd party, can do the 7 days for 35 bucks under standard coverage through an, "Ace Seguros." Does this sound legit?

Cheers,

Stevie

This is what I use.

Baja Bound Insurance Services co.

ACE Segurous

888-552-2252

I paid $76.00 for April 2nd-April 10

Never had to put a claim yet (thank god), so I cannot say anything about the service.

If you have Sentri card, you are required to get insurance is what I understand. American insurance companies are not acceptable.

[makobob]

I will be doing ribs on the 30th at the restaurant.

Who will be meeting me at Johnnys Shell station in El Cajon on the 24th? And who will be meeting at tha AM/PM in Calexico?

I expect to be at Johnnys at 4 am and plan to leave there at 5am and head to the AM/PM arriving there at 7am. Then on to Los Poblanos taco shop in San Filipe arriving there about 9-9:30 for breakfast. Then on into camp.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO PLAN A SEAFOOD DINNER NIGHT. If no one wants to do it then the 30th will be seafood instead of ribs.

[Baja_Traveler]

Westfork and I were actually discussing doing a seafood paella since I just got a paella pan and burner - but the shear number of people we have on this trip killed that idea, I'd need a paella pan 3 feet across to feed the numbers...

Stevie, WALLY WORLD, wally world you say???? limits are different in Mexico. 5 fish per day is normal, but most of us catch and release unless saving for lunch or dinner. NO TOTUAVA are kept, they are all released if hooked. Ask me in camp about any specifics.

[Mahigeer]

Only gear restriction is electric reels if I recall.

You do need a license unless you are fishing from the shore.

Five fish per day per species, except dorado which is two, marline is one (I think).


When you apply on line for license, a very short list of regulations is listed.

I got mine at a tackle store and cost me additional $10.00 since I do not read Spanish.

[Mahigeer]

I will have to see what the situation is after my return from Canada.

If I do come, it will be only me.

Since I got a different car, Sentri application is under review.

I got a hi-lift jack, shovel, car cover and heavy duty plates for stuck wheels.
A hood guard and front bra are on the list.
As well as Thule Halavator kayak lift.

I will send you a PM when time comes. Thanks for asking.

Does anyone know the difference for FMM Mexicali 1 or Mexicali 2 for the port of entry via land?

[Baja_Traveler]

Does anyone know the difference for FMM Mexicali 1 or Mexicali 2 for the port of entry via land?

The difference is Mexicali 1 is the West border crossing that we all normally use, and Mexicali 2 is the smaller East border crossing (6 miles east on the other side of town).

Mexicali 2 can be alot shorter wait at times, but it does not have a Sentri lane.

[MrPukaShell]

Hi guys,

I just ordered this off of Amazon specifically to take down to MakoBob's place n fish. 12 knockoff crocs for $20. Thought Id pass it along as these are known to work in Baja.
A few reviews say they rust easier in the salt so just make sure to rinse down w freshwater after each use and u should be good. Tight lines. Link above.

It is worth your time AND money to change out the split rings and hooks.

[SDROB]

Noted and definitely will do. Last time I bought the hooks n rings at Squidco and they did it for me.

Thanks homie!

[farreola]

Actually the Sentri wait time is usually shorter in the East port, and for those that do not have Sentri but have a passport ID card can go through the Ready Lane wish is less time than the regular West port. The West port does not have Ready Lane at this time.

[makobob]

From what I can see it looks like, 90's daytime, mid 70's nights and winds below 10 out of the ESE, for most of the week. This is the San felipe forcast.

At 5 am we leave for tha AM/PM in Mexicali off the 98, we arrive there around 7 and leave shortly after to cross te border for San Felipe where we stop at Tacos Los Poblanos for breakfast about 9am. After breakfast we head for camp in Gonzaga. Actually about 10 miles this side at KM134 you will find a sign saying Campo Turistico. at the end of that road will be the restaurant take a left infront of it and go about 100 yards. Just past a double row of trees/bushes and on the left will be our place, ramada and garage.

As to accomadations, beach camp, camp on ramada or in garage, Meals are group for dinner, on your own for lunch and breakfast. Cook in camp or host at restaurant your choice.

If you look up my previous posts, you will find a lot of answers to your questions.

Some even that you did not ask.


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 right 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.

The last 1/2 mile is on a dirt/sand road. 4 wheel drive not needed. Tha last 200feet can have soft sand and you could get stuck, most do not get stuck but if it happend we can easily pull you out. STOP when you get to the two rows of treesbushes. Get out and walk the last 200feet, look at how soft or hard the sand is, talk to me and decide, my quad had pulled some out and the trucks can all handle a pull so no problem. If you try it just build as much speed as you can to top the small rise.

Gentlemen unfortunately do to health reasons I will not be making this trip. I will make it down there some time this year Bob. Might have to be in the middle of the HOT summer, but I will eventually make it down there SOON.
This is the 3rd trip I have missed. Good luck to everyone and leave some fish for me. Tight Lines

How about some fish porn?

Nice beach front hammock sleeping!!! I defiantly missed that, but my health has been on the fritz lately. I have had complications with the new hardware they put in my leg. Dr. thinks I am fighting an infection in my bones. I had a nuclear scan done this week. They stuck so much radiation in me that I glow in the dark. I had to go to Mexico the flowing day and upon my return the port of entry seemed like Xmas with the alarms and light that went off. Gentleman I am proud to say that our ports are secure from any bad hombres trying to cross any type of nuclear threat.

Oh yes - we installed solid 4 x 6 posts for two hammocks, my next trip down we will put another post in so we can accommodate three hammocks under the stars.

Get well - we'll see you down there this fall.

PS you will need an underquilt in the fall/winter and spring. Wind will blow right through your hamock with out one. Posts are fantastic for star gazing, Kai you did a great job of designing and installing this system. Thank you.
