No worries Bob! We'll get down there next year! Heal up and get better!

Sorry to hear that Bob.

If any of you all still want to go, myself and two buddies will be leaving Dec 30th and returning Jan 9th. Possibly making a couple of stops on the way down or back in Abreojos, Asuncion Bay, or loreto.

Anyone that was going on the original trip, or thinking about it is more than welcome to join us. Unfortunately no more room in my truck with 3 kayaks, 3 fisherman, and all of our gear. A second vehicle is always nice to have on these trips!

As Bob has said many times. It will be a fishing trip of a lifetime, and cost almost nothing... My last trip spitting everything by 2, it cost us ~500 each for 10 days food, gas, whatever else included (And my truck is a V10!).

Send me a PM and I'll give you my #

Current plan is to leave the 28th and cross the border just before sunrise... get FMM visas... and head to Asunción bay. Spend the night at Shari's and fish Asunción island in the morning (calicos and YT), and maybe the beach to the north in the evening(Corbina and halibut)
Spend one more night in luxury, and then leave the next morning for Abreojos. Fish La Bocana and coyote estuaries, and maybe the inshore reefs. Hoping for some corvina and broomtail grouper. Next morning leave to Adolfo Lopez Mateos and set up camp north of town.
No plans after this except lots of stories and hopefully some good pics to back them up.

Rossman, wish you were going to be there, would love to fish with you sometime!

Here is my progress so far:

I'll post a photo of my rig once we are all loaded up. I think we may try to put three kayaks in a pyramid formation :/. Hope it works...

BREW, I load two yaks on top FIRST with rods and tackle inside them. Then load the back of the truck to the height of the gunnel. Third kayak then slides forward just short of back window and a sling attatches it to the underside of the REAR rack. Back (stern} is higher then bow. Tie yak so it cannot slide forward and hit back window. Load rest of stuff around yak and tie it all tighther. STUFF likes to JUMP out the back and you never see it leave, its just gone. That has included sleeping pads, camprite, tent, fishing rods, and food, So take the time to tie it in. We traveled off road this way and it works if you have a good rack. Waiting to hear YOUR report. Tight Lines and Happy Holidays.

Good to see a trip planned to Mag Bay!! We drove there once and loved it. the town is very small. definitely plan on camping!! not a lot to do but lots of fishing in the mangroves and offshore too!!

Drats! Sorry I'm going to miss you guys. I will have my GPS powered up today or tomorrow and I will message you some numbers. In general, the east side of Isla Asuncion has been good for yellows since Labor Day. Work the 90 to 120 ft contour along that side of the island and you'll probably run into some. Lots of calico in the same area. 5 to 75 ft on the reefs and boilers. Good Luck.
