BAJA or BUST 2017 Trips - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

monstahfish · 09-23-2015, 07:10 AM

How far is it to the island? I may sail/troll out there with an adventure island and camp out with you guys. I think the plan would be to troll out to the island, drop the amas/sail and fish it kayak style. I haven't spent any time using it without the amas yet so I'll have to try it at LJ in the next week or two.

It is just under five miles. I know at least one guy took his AI out there on a previous trip, and I believe he got there way before the rest of the pack pedaled over. Hey, it's not called an Adventure ISLAND for nothin'

SO whats the general cost of this trip. Seems to me the food is cheap. I guess gas and ? I may want to go next trip. Do I need a passport or just the FMM ?

RIDE SHARE, Fuel $40-$100 each depending on truck, 2-3 people. Food, drinks and ice for a week, total should be around $200. PLUS tackle and fishing license and FMM. If you try hard to keep costs down you should get a full week vacation for under $300. You will need both FMM and US Passport and Mex fishing license..

Camp stove? I have 1 and a charcoal BBQ, bring bottle gas, small and charcoal for grill and some fire wood if you want campfire.

Roosters caught in last year here. 5" hand size, 12", 10-25 pound and two in the 48-50 pound class. Cabrilla to 26 pounds, snapper to 10 lbs, Yt to 40 lbs, WSB to 50 lbs. SWEET DREAMS.

Bob,

Will we be stopping for the FMM card along the way or do we need to get one prior to the trip? From what I have been reading you have to get it stamped by the office when entering the country. Is this correct?

Fmm cards are free at the border at the immigration office if you will be there less than 7 days. East Calexico office is open 24 hours.

Definitely prior to the trip.

I don't remember where the post is but Bob asked every one to take care of these things before hand to minimize travel time.

YES you can get it just after you cross the border on the left side of the street. Very limited parking 2-10 minutes to fill out and pay or get free one. With one or two trucks not a problem, with 5-6 trucks no parking. So if you stop you need to know how to find my place. We travel at a safe speed but you will have to catch up with the rest of us. I posted driving instructions on how to get to our place on the other sticky a few days ago.
YES they must be stamped.

MrPukaShell · 09-24-2015, 04:55 PM

That is what I am trying to do. I live in Ventura County so it is not a trip around the corner to get to the border. If there is a place it can be done online, by mail or phone that someone knows about it would be appreciated. Have passport, & fishing License taken care of. Vehicle insurance will be done tomorrow.
