BAJA OR BUST RELOADED for 2015 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

EastLosYaker · 09-30-2014, 12:53 PM

I've been trying to make my way down to Magdalena bay for years. I would definitely be down for that trip. I am a teacher, so I get plenty of vacation time. I am considering the New Year's trip, but need to work out a few things first. Would definitely be down for a spring break trip (April 1-6). And summer time of course.

As I have said before, Mag Bay is two days down and back, two full weeks would mean 10 days of fishing. So it needs to be 14 days. I have not done this trip, but roads were fine before the hurricane and will be again. You could go for a shorter time but..............Keep your costs down, 2-3 to a truck, split gas, each person cooks for everyone for a day and buys food just for your cooking days. You do dogs, costs less then if you do steak. Fish, seafood should be cost effective, tortillas and rice/beans are cheap and easy to do and clean up after.

As to spring break if you want to do this trip say so and I will have it on the schedule TODAY. That is a Wednesday through Monday, are your dates correct? Would you be driving home on Monday, I hope so as border crossings are faster on most Mondays. Yes sometimes the winds blow in the spring, but it is cooler and you can catch lot's from the beach.

This trip should be on everyone's bucket list. It's full of surprises and can cost less than a quality rod and reel if you share a ride.

The above Rooster was caight on 3-4 Sept trolling a crock on the way back to the beach. 42 pounds of piss and vinegar, about an hours fight on 20lb test.

What is San Quintin like in the spring? I remember back in the day a regular on one of the boats I worked on took me and a few other regulars on a trip down there they'd been doing for a while.

from the surf and it was easy back then. Any idea what it's like now?
That was something I'd been looking into prior to my back injury.
Any thoughts.
