The short version is (from what I've read/remember), pretty much anything bright and shiny. That being said also bring the wire to save your stuff. I've read too many reports of lost jigs/lures due to the sharp teeth of the Sierra's. The one constant I've read about (I'm sure Bob and everyone else that has been there and posted a report can verify) is Crocodiles. I've been stocking up on the 1oz'ers ever since. I wouldn't be surprised if Hopkins Jigs are also another effective Jig. FFY |

I had checked the past reports that comes up on "Search", and I just did it again. They are mostly about the trip and not much tackle talk. I agree that Krocodile is very versatile. But I wanted to know what else is considered good. I will definitely try “spoons” and forks and knives. I saw a video on YouTube and want to experiment with them. Here is my version of kitchen utensils as lure. It is called a Church Key! The first catch was a midsize mackerel. |

I used one in VIETNAM and caught a fish that looked, tasted and reacted like a WSB. Way back in 1972. Fishing tackle was hard to get there. Luckily I took two rods and reels with me, had to wait over a month to get fishing line there after I got spooled.

Hey Bob,
Can we switch our date for dinner to the 18th? I would like to have the meat cooked prior to leaving so all we will have to do is heat and serve. Also what time does the restaurant open. I would like to have a few lunches or breakfast while I am there if available. As for the Panga the 20th and 22nd would work for me and break up the kayak fishing. If anyone wants to join let me know. |

No problem, dinner nights switched. Open around 7am closes after dark, but we can let them know when we want to eat. I will let the skipper know the 20th and the 22nd. Tight lines.

Is anyone else in for camping out at the island? Either having the panga tow kayaks out, or just paddling/pedaling out with the camping gear? Could be an awesome adventure. |

FMM information.
http://www.discoverbaja.com/go/fmm-tourist-permits/ I am going to talk with Monstahfish and see if he wants to get the FMM before the trip or at Mexicali the day of the trip. |

Looks like Mr Pukashell and Gr8fuldude are up for fishing from the panga or spending the night on the island? Any one else interested?? I know 3 grouper were caught from a panga there in the last couple weeks, big one was 200 pounds. But caught on a handline, no other way to stop them.
