San Quintin, 2012

Hit up San Quintin this week and stayed at the Old Mill . I have always driven south of the Old Mill to do Central and Southern Baja trips and have stayed at the Old Mill once to get some sleep on way down. The Old Mill is a great place with simple accommodations, cheap prices ($16.00/bed)friendly people and a hot shower. Also a restaurant that prepared our fish on two different nights in various ways.







We kayak fished two days with a beach launch and ended up with two WSB and a couple lost, several Calico's, sand bass, and other random fish. Mike (Florida Boy) caught a pig on the second day......no scale but the thing was a beast and didn't come close to fitting in his cooler.









The third day we went out on a 25 foot Parker through K & M Landing with the kayaks on board. Lined up the trip the week prior with Captain Kelley due to some expected swell. His son George was our Captain and he put us in the area where some recent WSB activity had been. We ended up with three WSB, multiple rock fish, a tail hooked thresher and another thresher which were lost/released. George caught a nice halibut which he ended up giving us the majority of. I highly recommend K & M if you want to do a mothership trip down in San Quintin. Family run, very nice and safe with a ton of local knowledge .














I always seem to find a way to get stuck in Baja. Well not too bad, three times in 20+ years.



All and all a great trip with no mechanical errors on or off the water, plenty of fish to be had, no issues with the authorities through Tijuana or Ensenada (even after missing a turn twice in Tijuana ), good company, and plenty of good memories.

Next year going to go down 2-3 times through August -October and can't wait to do it again.


and just noticed I put this in fishing discussions.......sorry

Great write and pics. Even the food shot had me drooling, maybe not as much as that pig WSB Mike caught. HUGE! Looks like it could have gone 70lbs.

Don't listen to every one. Especially the people that have never been their. I've been to San Quintin over 10 times and Erendira twice this year. In July, I took 1 of my customers and 3 of his friends for the first time. Now they want to go back next year. I never had any problems with any body. So give it a try. Trust me, you will want to go back every year. I might go back to Erendira for some bottom fishing in Jan. or Feb. You are more than welcome to go with us.
