Get to Baja BEFORE it gets smoking HOT. Expect to cook one night for everyone or use the restaurant. You are on your own for breakfast and lunch, BRING drinking water and SUN PROTECTION. If you want a fire at night bring firewood.

Welcome back.

Good see you are back home safe.

Thanks Hashem. See you soon amigo. How's your trip planing coming along?

I will be leaving right after work on Friday 3pm. Hopefully get to do some surf fishing when the tide comes up. See you on Saturday!!!

I will cook Saturday Night!!!

Glad your going Frank! Hopefully we can load up on some taco meat! Im glad will finally get a chance to fish together.

Trying out my new FF!!!!

Rob and Frank, welcome aboard. See you both there.

Thanks for asking.
It is becoming harder to wait for the departure date.

I have seen many YouTube videos of the train ride. Very interesting and scenic.
Here is a great recording:

Turn the speaker on.
Rock Island Fish Camp--- http://rockislandfishingcamp.com/index.html

If you click on directions, it shows where it is and the two ways of getting there.
I will be taking the slower, scenic (97) route on the way up and the other one (5) which is faster, yet somewhat scenic (after all it is BC, Canada) on the way down.


Of course a very informative report will be made once I get back. To be sure.

Bob I will be coming up with a small group just for Sat n Sunday. I haven't spoke to the guys about meals yet, so will probably just fend for ourselves to make things easy. Therefore anyone cooking doesn't have to worry about us.

So you want to fish with us, but not eat with us? Your choice. See you soon.

I volunteer Rob to fry some of the fish we catch....he's got it down pact!!!

Im not saying I won't! Pescado Entero Frito is always bomb!Lets just worry about catching fish first. This time LEAVE the birds alone:D


[QUOTE=MakoBob;420] So you want to fish with us, but not eat with us? Your choice. See you soon.

Not saying that dawg! Just not sure of all the details of my group yet and it will probably easier for us just to wing it. Ill Pm you the details and we can decide from there what you want to do.

Frank.... o fish 2 birds and counting!!!

That why I'm going a day early so I can fish off the beach...seems to work out best for me.

eats
 

I will do carne asada burritos one night and bring the fixins for a ceviche snack in case we catch something...sierra or cuchito maybe?

Welcome aboard. Will you be meeting me at Johnny's Shell station? See you soon.

Weather looks goooooood next week!!

I just saw this post on BD last night, http://www.bdoutdoors.com/forums/thr...onzaga.625889/

Fishing looks good. Im getting excited!!!!

It looked like the hot jig was a mint surface iron for the Cabrilla. I didn't like hearing about the aggressive hh and mako's thou:eek:

Way to go, got mine installed before Kentucky trip, works good in shallow watr, will see how it works deeper on tis trip. See you soon.

I installed mine last trip down, but didn't get to use it. Got blown out. we will see how it works on this trip.

Might have to join you guys since this week looks windy

wow :eek:

Danny tells it like it is with no filter, it's always a good time when he goes. You should def make this trip!

Hola Roberto,

It looks like I can make the trip, but I can't be there for the entire week. I could arrive Sunday noonish and I'd need to leave either Wednesday or Thursday.

I can do dinner for the group at the restaurant any night that is open. Nice to get back down there!

Paul

AWESOME Paul, will be good to see you again. Tight Lines.

Bob, I will be taking a guest.

NO PROBLEMO! See you soon.

Just got back from Gonzaga. Lots of Sierra Mackerel. Good sized as well, lots of 8-10lbers. All the other usual suspects were biting. Wind was very erratic. Good luck.

Thanks for the update, the area around Gonzaga always holds good fish. appears that fishing is going to be hot again this year. Tight Lines.

Ok Bob, as usual I can't make any commitments until the last minute, but I just found out today that I'll be available for this one.

I'll head down on Saturday with you guys, but I have to head back home on Tuesday.

No Memorial Day would be complete without a good BBQ, so I'll be bringing down the smoker and doing a 5 hour smoke on pork ribs Monday with mashed potatoes and corn on the cob.

All I need is a good head count to know how many racks to bring down (and bring the big or small smoker to match).

Congratulations, it finally worked out. 4 or 5 people. Will be looking for you at Johnny's Shell station in El Cajon abut 5 am on Saturday morning. See you soon.

Me and my friend will be heading back on Monday.

OK - looks like 2 racks of ribs and the small portable smoker it is....

See you all Saturday!

NICE See you soon.

well, still haven't decided for sure, but i think me and Pierre are gonna cruise down Sunday. this weather up here just isn't working for us

Good hope it means some pulpo. See you there.

Two days!!!

I'll have the grill ready!!!

3 racks
 

I just jumped on board for this trip.. Better make it three racks, I love ribs.
I'm bring Cowboy bean stew with elk meat
