great conditions all week. one of my favorite trips to Baja yet. great people and great adventures.

Oh, and Bob, guess what i saw finally.......




BIG BIG BIG


Fished three solid days. Rancho grande was out of gas for a couple of them, it had me sweating a little bit, but sometimes a smooth trip stays smooth, and gas was ready by the time we left.


one day fish haul, not bad. all fish shot in less than 20 feet of water. the spotted rose snapper was under a ledge 6 feet deep. many cabrilla were sleeping on top of boulders 2 feet deep getting some sun.




Not a bad view....Looking north from Casa de Mako.



and of course, the best part about baja. The Dos xx Ballenon!



More sunset porn





Saludos! And a huge thanks as usual to our host with the most.

When the cabrilla are sitting like that in shallow water, the poppers work great. Nothing in the world gets your heart racing like a 10 plus pound cabrilla EXPLODING on your plug.

Was that a SVEN size WSB??? or bigger???

Glad your last day was as good as the first. I never saw the wind above 10mph and usually below 5. Nice weather window.

the seabass was sven plus ten.....



i thought it was a shark. we made eye contact and i was almost hypnotized. by the time i could even process what i saw he was gone. i swam all the way back in, grabbed a bigger gun, got back out and the pangas rolled in VERY close, seemed to have scared EVERYTHING away.


Pierre says he got his brain shook while i was gone...... sounded thick.....



Oh and i left behind a 9" flex bubba blade that might have been yours

and the Mexican book of slang for anyone who wants blend in......




Thanks again MakoBob

JEFF, it is the time of year for the cabrilla to show up in the shallows, usually hens pre spawn. WSB too, Sven plus ten for those of you who do not know would be WSB in the 50's and 60's. Tight Lines.

BTW one diver on this trip took a 75 pound Gulf Grouper. He shot it in about 25 feet of water.
