Nice it will be good to sea Serop in camp again. Gonna be a great trip. Tight Lines amigos.

[MrPukaShell]

Do we have any recent fish reports? Looking forward to some Baja time.

[Denis_Ruso]

Do we have any recent fish reports? Looking forward to some Baja time.

Most recent report I heard was the cabrilla and Corvina were still on the chew early May. Other than that, I haven't heard much.

[YakDout]

Do we have any recent fish reports? Looking forward to some Baja time.



I have seen a few reports the last couple weeks of some nicer size yellowtail being caught. And a bunch of cabrilla. Been checking the weather report and there are a few days here and there with 20-30 mph winds. But also some 5-10 mpg days. Hopefully we don’t get a wind spell on this trip.

[SDROB]

It will be nice to see you down there again homie! I can't wait...

Ill be down with Lupe on a work trip for memorial weekend. Im going to help him do his roof.

Of course ill get a lil fishing in too. Last month there were decent size Yellowtail here and there, Sierra, triggers and the most corvina I have ever seen there, ever! We did pretty good on a panga. I did ok on the yak too.

[rossman]

I'm going to swing by Makoville some time during that period. I'm trying to find a good weather window to fish San Quintin and also pick up some goodies that Makobob is bringing down for me. Hope to see some of you guys.

[Dannowar]

Looks like we're headed down 13-16. If there's anything the camp needs let me know Bob!

Sure thing, leave us some scallops at the restaurant, if you can amigo. And have a great time.

[Sivak]

Guys
I just got back from camp and the fishing was great.

Camp needs supplies of all kinds. Please bring something to contribute. We need the following...

Gallon sized bottled water
Paper towels
Toilet paper
Red solo cups
Plastic utensils
Dog food for our 4 legged buddies
Anything else that you can think of that we use every day while there.

Thank you,

Dave

Roberto and the gang,

I'll have to bow out of this trip. I was about to say unfortunately..., but the truth is a last-minute, mostly free, guided fly fishing trip to Cuba basically fell into my lap for the week of Memorial day, and it's waaaaaayyyyy to good to pass up. Cuba will be epic, chasing bonefish, tarpon and permit in pristine, lightly fished waters. I don't get to fish often these days, so I've got to make it count when I can.

But I am bummed about missing out on the gonzaga trip. Especially with the all-star crew that's been assembled for this one. Have fun everyone and hopefully I'll be able to make it down in the Fall. Take care Roberto and I'll see you in Gonzaga next time.

Does anyone have a spare fixed mount VHF marine radio and antenna? Luis would like one at the restaurant so he can be a second set of ears should anyone have a problem on the water. He said he always concerned when we are on the water...

If no one has one, can everyone contribute $10 and I will pick one up?

Thanks

Rossman, how was fishing, and water temp down there?

Water temp was 73 - 74. The water was very green and off color. We had a good bit of wind but most folks were able to get out for at least part of the day. Fishing was OK by my standards. Not the best and certainly not the worst that i have seen in the area. Quite a few yellows around but I didn't see any that broke the 10 pound mark. A lot of sierra around and some of those were really jumbo. Longer and thicker than the yellows. A few quality cabria and pargo in the mix. The usual triggers, spotties lizards, and scorpion fish were all available.

[Holy Mackerel]

Thanks for the dope, we are looking to head to Gonzaga this weekend, not sure if you are in the area, but stop by. Pappas Fernandez palapas camp. (I think, same place as usual)

[kurt]

Campo Beluga.

[makobob]

Campo Beluga.

I hope you mean that ALL you got was ROCKED. Tight Lines.

[MrPukaShell]

It was a great time as usual. If you like triggers you could catch as many as you wanted. Spotties were on the chew and like Ross said small yellows and large Sierra pulled some string to keep things interesting. Great meals at the restaurant and awesome time with friends made for a great week. Can't wait for the next trip to paradise.

Good fishing with you and serop down there. You guys were killing the yellows. Thanks again for the CD

[makobob]

The GOOD, the BAD, and the UGLY.
After 5 months of being in a Baja Free zone, aka Southern California, last week I returned to
my beloved Baja. Thank you Lord. It is still PARADISE.

The trip down was uneventful but there was some construction just before you get to Puertocitos.
The rest of the roads were normal for the area. It was nice to sea my part of Baja again.

The GOOD, friends, fishing, food and the weather. The BAD, one small section of road, a whole 20
minute wait at the border coming home in the Sentri lane, and not getting to stay another week.
The UGLY was my nose being sun burned because of the antibiotics I was on.

The trip was AWESOME and I feel blessed. Life is good again. I met in person Kathryn DiPietro and
her boyfriend Dale. We had dinner at the La Poma restaurant at KM 134, Clementina made our crew
of many a great Sea Food dinner. One night there we had 16 people at our table, and there was
another group of 8 seated at another table.

This was a trip I will charish for many years, thank you all for those who were able to attend, the
fishing has been better but was still enjoyed. We worked on the bedroom over the kitchen and made
plans to put in a walkway so I can get to the bathroon easier in a wheel chair. For me it was a great
trip and I plan on being back in camp in mid June. Thanks and God bless you all.

[MrPukaShell]

Good fishing with you and serop down there. You guys were killing the yellows. Thanks again for the CD

Always great to be in camp with you and I do mean always. Glad you liked the tunes and hope to fish with you soon. Mike is cool too

[YakDout]

This was my best fish of the trip. Same spot I got a 26lb cabrilla the trip prior. Got three others that first afternoon of fishing and after that they were MIA for the remainder of the trip, for me at least. Got all four of my cabrilla on that trip on a scrambled egg salas 6x heavy.
