Inflatable for Baja? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

UpNorth65 · 10-29-2020, 01:49 PM

Hello,
New to forum, and currently planning an escape from the North to Baja (Sea of Cortez) for a few weeks starting in Feb. I've fished up here in my Sea Eagle 435 PS in many conditions, am comfortable in it, and want to bring it down. It's very stable and tough for an inflatable, and I think I would stick largely to sheltered bays (Gonzaga for instance). With my swivel seat I sit pretty high and too much wind can of course be an issue.
I've caught some large, toothy fish (Muskie and Northern Pike) in it, but wondering if an inflatable is just asking for trouble.

I have a 2.5hp Suzuki I can use, but wonder if that would be more work
than it's worth having to flush motor, etc.

Not my video, but generally my set up.

It's the rig I've got, and I'm very comfortable on it, but any thoughts as I begin planning this trip would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
