Cedros Island Let's Go!!! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hydronaut · 07-18-2019, 11:02 AM

This is a bucket list trip for sure.

I was just down there from the 5th to the 8th. We got to fish Punta Norte on the Outbacks. The Calico bite was on even with the chop and wind. I threw 8-9 inch Christmas tree colored "Viejos" plastics to some 5-6 lb chunky calico's. Jeff was throwing a shad colored plastic with great success. The 100 gram Flat Fall in sardine color was definitely working on the deeper stuff.

Great fishing, great food , and great crew.

If you have the time and funds, definitely contact Morgan to get on this trip.

Morgan, I wish I could go on this trip.

Tight lines.

Great Crew and pack leader have fun buddy!

Thanks Hydronaut! Sounds like you guys had a great time and I wish you could make it down there again with us too!

Someone just took one of the spots today so only 1 spot left...

Sounds fantastic. I have been there twice with Jose. The last time was with the crew of Stocked On Fishing.
I wish I could do it with kayak group, but a Montreal trip in September is cutting into fishing budget.
I am sure anybody who goes will have a great time no matter the catch rate. Flying from US and A/C are great features.

In closing I like to point out that it will be impossible to catch sheepshead in Pacific Ocean. They are found in Atlantic Ocean. However, sheephead (no “S”) are plenty around Cedros Island. I caught my limit each day with Tuna crabs as bait.

I wish the lucky anglers who go tight lines.

Haha, thanks for the correction on the sheephead thing

They definitely love mowing down the red crabs down there!

Here's one from a past trip, just sticking the red crabs on a jig head and dropping down. If a calico didn't nail it, usually a sheephead would.

Mahigeer · 07-21-2019, 10:35 AM

Now that is what I call a sheephead.

I have heard the same mistake from "experts". It is common. Even in a booklet published for kids and a travel book for Baja!!

On a side note, I was on TV this Saturday. Two episodes of Stocked On Fishing.
It was July 23rd that I flew to the island.

Until there is a coalition of fish protesting scorpionfish being called sculpin and croaker called seabass you can stick that S in your sheep shead and no one cares.

But the people that shoot edit and produce the show you mention would appreciate it if you call it by its title: Stoked On Fishing
Irony isn't lost.

Once the coalition sets America straight (20yr plan) it's on to Australia where they call fish wtf they want w no regard.
