Less than 60 days out, lets get ready to make this the best trip of your life. Order your tackle NOW, been a good year and some tackle is out of stock so get it on order or find replacements for it soon. Get your camp rite and set it up, find a pad for it, sleep on it for a night or two, make sure it feels good.
Check your drags, get reels serviced, get organized. Get replacement parts for yak, check everything. Almost impossible to get things in Gonzaga. Tight lines.

Starting to fall sleep at night dreaming of the trip. Visualizing from loading the truck at Bob’s house to unloading on the way back. Already started a list of what to take, and making steel leaders!ffice:office" /><O:p></O:p>
<O:p></O:p>
A couple of more questions: <O:p></O:p>
Q: Are sharks and or Sea lions much of problem with regards to keeping the catch in the water with a game clip?<O:p></O:p>
<O:p></O:p>
Q: Bob, does your new truck have a rack to carry the kayaks on top, or will they travel in the bed of the truck?<O:p></O:p>

I will add them (plus answers) to the previous post of several questions.<O:p</O:p
<O:p></O:p>




A humble request---- can the real name of the anglers who are going be posted next to their web name?<O:p></O:p>

Hashem--- AKA Mahigeer is going. YES,YES, and YES. I will also pay for a meal at the restaurant.
<O:p></O:p>



P.S. I was looking for old reports about similar trips and found this thread:

http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/s...onzaga+reports

However, all of the pictures are gone. Any chance to re-post the pictures?


Thanks<O:p></O:p>

Hashem, yes there are sharks and Sea lions in the area. I store my fish on back deck covered by a wet towel or gunny sack. I learned YEARS AGO not to put them over the side. NIGHTMARES. Yes I have a rack on my truck.
BTW I dream of Baja most nights, it is food for the soul, almost like being in church or on the water.

Thanks Bob.

Before I went to my first GTG at Avalon in 2006, to meet and fish with a group of anglers that I met on line, I could not sleep for two nights.


I still get excited when I decide to go, but not as much. I will be there this weekend for two days and one night of non-stop fishing at the Cabrillo Mole.

Does anyone have a check list that they like to pack off of?

Thanks in advance.

Yes I am still in and can't wait

I will PM you my list.

Hashem

I'm still in.

So to confirm this is October 17 to 24 correct? Your original post says September 17-24.??

YES October. Never get old guys, first you loose your toes then your mind, but hopefully you never loose your dreams.

Roberto, I'm going to pay the restaurant for dinner, you sold me on supporting the local business. Buddha, thanks for the kind offer to cook on my dinner night, but paying the restaurant seems like the way to go for me :)

Hashem please POST your list so all can see and use. Thanks

Here it is Bob. I hope it does not scare you.

The items in the same "category" are in the same color.

Is this where we are going?<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:pI have tried Gonzaga Bay and Bahia San Luis Gonzaga and can’t get any god information. It keep showing the Pacific side!


https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ba...70438d74f909fb<O:p</O:p

YES that is where we are going. REMEMBER all your medications WITH prescriptions.

Good god what is wrong with you

VERY nice list, Mahigeer!:luxhello:

Thanks Bob, Udowinkler.

The list is still a work in progress.

I added tea/coffee/creamer and prescription medicine to the original post/list.

Damn, I might need a bigger truck.

All aboard the Baja express!

BAJA or BUST

Yep Rob what ever it takes!

Robmoney, you had me laughing out loud for five minutes with that pic, imagining Mako, Mahi, and myself bouncing down to BdG in Mako's truck.

So we just got back from Gonzaga. Mako. Robmoney and Carlos, report to follow.

Sounds like it was a good one!

This is a bump, but I am also wondering.


Why such a vicious picture as Avatar such as a Mako shark for such a kind and gentle face.

Not to mention a super generous personality to go with it.

Just wondering!

At one point in my life I fished commercially for Mako sharks here is San Diego.

Bob,
Due to space limitation, I WON’T be taking these along on our trip!

http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/q...g/DSCN5000.jpg

But I guarantee theyd catch.

Any news about what is happening there?

Any more Tax man sightings?

Inquiring mind wants to know.

Info coming
 

Makobob was there this past weekend, and is due home today. I'm sure he will have an update

Thanks,


I just got my Mexican fishing license good for one year today.

Is there still room on the Baja bus to fish town for one more?

Baja fishing is Disneyland for adult males!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is room and the bus is not full yet. I can lead you guys to fish but the rest is up to you.
I got back this afternoon. Bass, triggers, cabrilla, corvina, Sierra, roosters, needlefish, seen or caught........ 3 GROUPER to 200lbs caught last week at island. Taxman was NOT to be scene. Whale shark and turtles hanging around. Yt and dorado seen in area. Also Skippies. You just never know, water temps were 88 degrees and winds were less than 10mph wind temps 85 low at night 105 high. Tight lines, Disney Land trip is coming soon, tight lines.

PANGA TIME

YEP, $200 a day for 4-5 fishermen or divers. Panga now at our place, no need to chase one down at Gonzaga.

Awesome. Same brothers?

Scot. I may have room for one more. Dates are up in the air though

Perfect
Thanks Makobob and Danowar!

It's been a couple years since I've done a Baja trip and my trigger finger is starting to twitch from withdrawals. lol

That and I'm craving some deep fried lobster from Puerto Nuevo

Dano are you going to be spearing down there?

Buddha, I may take you up on the cooking thing. What kind of food are you thinking of? Anyone know which nights are still open for cooking?
