GONZAGA GOLD 18-25 October - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

makobob · 10-26-2014, 08:07 AM

My best fish of this trip was a Rooster, he attacked my fork/spoon on a fast retrieve. Not wanting to kill him, I tried to tail him, got him half way out of the water when he exploded, bye, bye beautiful fish. 18-20 lbs. He kept my fork.

Weather was AWESOME, nights were 70-75, days were 90-95, water temps were 82-85. Sunrises, sunsets and fishing was GOLDEN.

Fish caught were, Rose snapper, pig snapper, grunts, orange mouth corvina, leopard grouper, spotties, hog fish, leather jacket, threadfin pompano, rooster fish, skipjack tuna, dorado, needle fish and cabrilla. Might have missed one or two others too. A turtle ate a mega bait and was released to fight another day, also released was a blue footed boobie. Infact I think we only killed 6 or 7 fish this whole trip. Tight lines.

Five of us went on this trip, two caught fish on the fly, the others fished other gear.

Jeez I thought it was for fly fishermen only. I would have tagged along. I know how epic fall fishing can be there.

That rocks. Only negative sounds like the fly fishing bite. The huge variety of fish you can catch in Baja is a just amazing. I gotta get back down there. Mike
