Long Weekend at San Miguel

Looks like a great spot. How accessible is it without 4wd to get your yaks to the launch? Nice fish!

Nice trip, sounds like you guys had a blast. Congrats on the YT.

looks killer, we did a day trip to Salsipuedes with the kayaks long ago, rough pulling kayaks back up! Miss all those trips to Puerto Nuevo, Las Dunas and La Salinas.

We really wanted to fish Salsipuedes Bay so we ended up actually paddling around the point and saw the Playa Saldamando campground which looked like it had a boat ramp - I hooked up right off the cliffside campsites there so we are all amped on camping there next.

This is the only OTW pictures i have, but the gopro died after like 15 seconds....

You can kind of see the camp sites in the background.

I need to get down there. Looks like u guys had a blast!! Any other fist caught? Or did everyone go for the homerun? How easy was it to make bait?

Do it! It was easier than we expected... My roommate caught a small calico on a spoon tight to the kelp that he released but other than the yellow that was it from the yaks. We fished 7am-1230ish Sunday

The bait we found was tight to the kelp too, we were getting a bunch of smelt but managed a handful of greenbacks and a single sardine without too much of a hassle. Lots of action out there though, big beefy dawgs, saw a huge blue whale!

Not bad at all, you can drive right up to a spot, back in. We just carried our yaks down to the water in that little lagoon. We were lucky and when we got there Friday it was empty so we snagged that spot for our tents and stuff. Launching was a little intense but you can wade all the way out to the mouth of that lagoon and wait for a lull
