I don't want to add too much because that summed up the awesome trip pretty darn well.
Unbelievable fishing down there, realize we got lucky with conditions but the variety and speed of the fishing is on its own level from what i've experienced. See why its such a popular destination for kayak fishing - I said something to zed down there that the more I think about it nails it on the head. Its like a kayak fishing sandbox - everything seems in range, its all cast n crank keeping you engaged and you just never know whats on the other end of the line. Lost a ton of tackle, learned a ton and caught a shitload of fish - most of which firsts. (sierra, rose pargo, trigger, gulf grouper, bone fish) also most wide open yellowtail fishing that I've ever been a part of (for almost an hour). Quote:

Some pix:
Campo. Ready to go. Just waiting on the wind. ![]() Saturday morning. Gotta GO! ![]() After some coffee squeezins ![]() Pargo Colorado ![]() A nice bag. The rose died early, before the others came to lunch. ![]() These guys... Even w the greater range, these guys demonstrated that a full days paddle w wind and extended drag up the beach is still preferable to launching a small boat. First they had to wait for high tide to reach the beach and then the older of the 3 gentlemen takes a header in the cobbles getting out, and comes up gimpy. Then the wind/waves plays with them getting it on the trailer. Then this guy talks them into letting them tow it out w his buggy. ![]() ![]() They had it set up w their diesel 3500 and a long tow strap, but somehow thought the buggy w 2000ccs max was gonna do it. It didn't. So they went back to the truck/camper. This is the camper w the strap attacked and a long length to the boat trailer. They then just drove the camper right out the Beluga road. ![]() I commented this can't go well. Somethings gonna break. It's gonna rip the axle off or something. Sure enough, after getting it clear of the water, it dug into the sand and BANG ripped the tongue/dolly wheels right off. Here they are, "Huh. What do you think we do now?" ![]() They got it bound together w straps and hauled it up the berm. Don't know how they fared up the road, but we never saw them again. ![]() This was one of our finds while wheelin. Nice cut to the shore and the cobbles S of the point. Really interesting structure channels and pools around here. Tide was bottoming out and we couldn't find the fish. ![]() Some lunch. Pargo ceviche salad over [unintentionally] crushed tortillas. Delicioso. ![]() Gulf Grouper ![]() Yakhanded's nice GG. ![]()
