If needed I can bring a Pizza oven that fits on top on my stove. Not that I mind a "slight wood fired taste" at all. Up to you guys.

You know me and pictures, I am sure you will take and post them. This is going to be a GREAT trip. Tight Lines

Any pictures?

We will get some pictures of your place on this trip Bob. I slacked off on the video and pictures last time I was down and regretted it. The fishing was just too hot to put my rod down.

Im hoping to be in Abreojos during these dates (depends on work). If so, maybe I'll plan on stopping by on the way down or on the way back for a few days from Abreojos.

Staying at campo rene? Try to find a dude by the name of Chelan at the cooperativa. He is a commercial fisherman down there who, if Okayed by his boss can take americans out fishing for the day. They have a couple of 23' super pangas that are pretty comfortable. Very affordable and the guy has some very good grouper and and yellowtail spots.

Wood Fired Pizza!!!
This smoker/grill is hard to beat. It is portable and keeps a very stable temp, from 150-550 degrees which you can set and hold in a 5 degree range. Works from your car battery or plug it into the wall. Being a pellet grill you can also control wood flavor by changing the flavor pellets.
You can slooooow cooook, bake, grill, roast. Pulled pork, burgers, brats, dogs, steaks, ribs, how about stuffed tomatoes and peppers or eggplant. Fresh baked bread, rolls, pie? Up to you.

I stay there and on the point camping. Definitely my favorite place to fish in Baja with the variety of fishing it offers. Though I've never been to Gonzaga.

makobob · 07-28-2016, 11:15 AM

What route are you driving???? Usually people go down Highway 1 from TJ through Guerro Negro and on to Abreojos. 13 hour drive. To get to Gonzaga from Highway 1 you have to take a turn at Chapala and go through Coco's Corner which is about 25 miles of dirt road in fair to good condition, I made this crossing last week. From Rancho Grande to Highway 1 took an hour and 15 minutes but I was pushing it. Coming back at a safer pace it took an hour and a half. Feel free to stop by and join us for dinner a night or two if you can. Tight Lines.

Thanks for update on laguna chapala bob. Might be taking that soon. Saves about 1.5-2 hours on the trek south

BRANDON, yes crossing at MEXICALI and going down mex 5 thru San Filipe, Gonzaga, Chapala back to mex 1 is quicker, prettier, and an easier drive, less mountains, fewer topes, less policia, fewer trucks and less traffic. That does make it faster and maybe smarter fuel wise. Tight Lines.

Confirm me in! Carpooling with señor Brandon!

makobob · 08-02-2016, 07:29 AM

Mike YOU are CONFIRMED. Going to be another trip to paradise. Might just be the best trip of the year, AGAIN. Tight Lines.

My sentri application has been pending review for the last month, but I should have it by this trip. Bob do you have sentri? If so maybe I can follow you the best way on the way back.
