March 2014 GONZAGA BAY

[bigbarrels]

Hi Bob,

This trip still open for others?

I'm heading down on a surf trip MArch 21st -27th to the Seven Sisters area (400 miles south on the Pacific Side). This is a swell dependent trip and if no surf going to convert it into a kayak fishing trip. Want to head down to Baja whether there is swell or not. I would just be arriving a day later if there is space for others? I have never fished that section of the Cortez but have fished a lot of areas south of Mulege.

Yes this trip is open, just need to know you are coming down, and when to expect you. We will have meals planned but can always add your supplies to ours and make it work. We have 4 nights so maybe steaks, shrimp, fish and cheese burgers in paradise for the last night. Lunch meat/cheese for lunches, eggs, omlets, pancakes with bacon, sausage for breakfasts. pretty easy.

Great, thank you! Plan according to your group and I will know the week of if I will be surfing or kayak fishing (have to check swell). I will bring all of my own food, water, etc. I would be pulling in on the 21st and staying down that way until the 27th. Would love to meet up but I unfortunately would only be able to go to Gonzaga if no surf on the Pacific side...couple of the guys only surf and that trip drops if no swell but I still want to go to Baja regardless......likely just me and one other guy in that case......thank you and I will know around the 15th of MArch.....

Tom, I put you on as a possible for this trip, hoping to hear from you around the 15th. Battleborn just had life get in the way, so he will not be joining us for this trip. As of 25th of Feb the anglers are Chuck D, Svendawg, Bigbarrels and friend and myself, looks like we are going to have 10 miles of reef to ourselves. BTW the road is now open ALL THE WAY to Gonzaga bay. I have room in my truck for one angler with kayak and gear, There is even room for your PA 14 if you have one. First one to respond gets this seat.

Just wondering, is it legal to fish the reefs there? Walrus posted some regs last week that say something about reefs prohibited. http://bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/showthread.php?t=20950

These are not coral reefs, only rocky rubble and beach rock, no problem. Alan most areas around Gonzaga are like this, they are what everyone fishes down here.
