NEW YEARS in mako-ville

[Neillio]

Does anyone have room for me in car? How would we get 2 yaks?

Getting my tackle box ready for the trip...

I'm doing a bit of reading here and there, but wondering if there's any species you typically target this time of year, and with any specific lures/colors. Anybody care to share their go-tos? So far I've got a few mint tadys, diamonds, Crocs, and various waxwings

EDIT: Nevermind- I just spotted a thanksgiving thread with some great lure info.

Also-The guys I like to buy from at Johnny's in Altadena also just *gave* me this book when they heard I was heading down-

https://www.amazon.com/Baja-Catch-Fi.../dp/0929637046

It's a fun read, but I'm also taking it with a bit of a grain of salt. Most recent edition was 20 years ago, so I would gather it's a tad dated

It basically says Gonzaga is a great place to fish in the Spring and Fall, with summer being a furnace and Winter being pretty consistently stormy and windy.

I *did* notice a few posts about people picking up camp on prior Dec trips and running past weather fronts to avoid rough winds/seas.

Obviously the conditions will be what they are when they are what they are, (and yes I like talking/thinking about fishing as much as I like fishing ), but anybody have any thoughts on what it's typically like in Dec in Gonzaga?

The information in the Baja Catch is spot on.

Just be prepared for WIND, like at hurricane force speeds...lol.

I will be at Johnnys shell station at 4:30 on the 26th, leaving at 5:00 for Baja, and I will be staying in Paradise until the 6th of Jan. Join us if you can. Tight Lines, Happy Holidays amigos. I believe SDROB and Defjack will be riding with me for this trip, so the truck is full.
