A week from today, Buddha, Jeff, Deamon, Jim and myself will be on our way to Asuncion to spend Thanksgiving with Rossman!!! This will be year 4 for this Asuncion trip. This year we plan on fishing Asuncion Island, San Roque, punta Quebrada and Punta Eugenia. Of course that will depend on weather forcasts for those areas. Ross told me that there have been some bruisers lately. Will be good to see some old friends in Asuncion, catch fish, eat great meals and look for petrified shark teeth. Tight Lines.
WELCOME BACK Brotha. Guess I can leave the driving to you. You can drive MY truck and Jeff and I will ride. Tight Lines. Quote:

With Thanksgiving a week away things are getting hetic. Beep, beep and watch out, Jim will be driving a truck loaded for ASUNCION. From here to Gonzaga it will be almost empty, but leaving Gonzaga it will be LOADED. 3 yaks, extra diesel, water, food, 2 smoker/grills, camping and sleeping gear, plus all our fishing stuff. Then add a yak cart for Ross and two quad tires, and goodies for people in Asuncion which includes a jewelry buffer, 2 gallons outboard motor oil, fishing jigs plus two turkeys, it will leave little or NO room for clothes. BUT the extras are what make the trip so much fun. Tight lines, and will see you in December. Happy Holidays.

Can you use your boat trailer to carry the kayaks and other stuff? Easier to load and unload. Just thinking out loud. Have a safe trip anyways. It will be good to see pictures, but no one seems to take them. |
I will take pictures, but do not do well getting them posted...Jim might get a few online for us.

No stressing allowed for the next 10 or 15 days. Whatever doesn't fit, we will make do. Yaks and fishing gear are important. The rest is just background noise. Keep it simple.
BTW Anything that Jim is in charge of lashing down.... Check his work. Quote:

YES we will be looking for his camprite the whole way down. Soon.

So if it's not SeeBad, can someone tell him to stop holding my arm (or shoulder) whenever we're hanging together? It's always made me feel "uncomfortable". I'm just saying...:the_finger: |
If it makes you feel uncomfortable Jim, I suggest you
Get some play dough or try a coloring book, maybe go to a safe space area..:D |

Want to join you guys
So - after numerous delays w/my once in a lifetime trip to take my yak and 4x4 to the tip of Baja and back, I finally got my 4Runner feeling good enough (new suspension) to make it happen, even though much later in the season thn I like, Then delayed another week w/the flu. I Had originally planned to skip Ascuncion, but w/timing what it is and remembering how much I enjoyed hanging w/you guys last year and parallel timing, I think I want to crash the party for a few days enroute (Bob - sorry I couldn't join your last group in Gonzaga - but shocks had to bet done first). So Rossman - do you have room for one more tent cot?
I am loading the truck up this AM (Monday) w/most everything and will take it up to some local mountain roads to test handling. If all goes well and if no other logistical issues pop up - want to hit the road Tues PM before LA traffic and get as far South as I can then make it the rest of the way By Wed evening. Stay for a few nights and fish for a few days with you guys - then work my way down the coast or over to the Cortez based upon weather. So if you guys are cool w/another one joining you - then let me know if there are any supplies needed from US or Ensenada I can bring and if their is a meal I can help with? Of course Ill be bringing some craft beer to share as well (Double Bastard aged in Laphroig, Bluberry Sour from Progress, and possibly fresh hopped IPAs from Port- if they arent all gone). Bob - maybe I can hit up Gonzaga on the way back - likely arund the 13th, again weather depending. PM me if you think that might work. |
Soory just saw this but absolutely have room for ya here to set up. Hope you are able to get this whereever you are staying this evening.

Should see you tomorrow
No Worries Rossman. Wasn't planning to leave until this afternoon. Now delayed until early AM Wednesday. Should make it in a day though.
Again - if anyone needs anything brought down - please let me know. Will be getting last minute supplies, food, and tackle this PM. Figure in Ensenada when businesses open tomorrow morning. |
Happy Thanksgiving!

And a great Thanksgiving it was. Ross thank you for your hospitality, Buddha gets a big thumbs up for a very nice Thanksgiving meal, the turkey was perfect and all the sides were great. And thanks to Richard for some awesome craft beers. Jim your driving was FAST and tight, good job. We spent $400 on Diesel, and maybe another $100 each for misc eats, ice, etc so this IS NOT really expensive becaure we slept at Rossman's house, about a block from the beach. Sure was nice to hear the surf at night, made for great sleeping.
ONLY bummer of the trip was I did NOT catch a calico! Tight Lines and Happy Holidays. WE HAD OUR FISHING LICENSES CHECKED |
[QUOTE=makobob; WE HAD OUR FISHING LICENSES CHECKED[/QUOTE]
Did you guys get checked on or off the water? Somebody was just telling me that you don't need a license to fish from the yak in Mexico. I told them I WOULD NOT RISK IT. |
Definitely need one on a kayak. Shore fishing, no, but any vessel yes. We happened to be in a tin boat when we were checked but the yakers were checked too. The guy was cool even though even though a certain rookie on the tin boat, (Bakomob or something like that) had forgotten his in the truck. He was a representative from PESCA and said he would check us again tomorrow if we were out there. They have been checking at the ramp off and on for the last few weeks. I think it's great so show some level of enforcement here. Less than fiddy bucks for a full year is the best fish and game deal that I know of. Plus you will save a few bucks every time you take one of the sportfishing fleet out of San Diego, headed for Mexican waters.

enough with the smal talk
How about a fishing report for the trip. I want to know what I missed other than a great meal, great company, and great fishing.

When's the next trip? To any destination?

I always hear about these trips, but don't see any report with pictures from them!
I guess I have to go myself and make one of my looooong reports. |
