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

Deamon · 11-10-2015, 07:35 AM

Spoke to Robert last night. He's driving with me. We're starting our trip on Sat the 22nd and bailing out the following Fri or Sat. Feel free to drop Robert into a cooking date that fits into this schedule please. He said something about shrimp and scallops...

Jim, thanks for the update on Robert. This is going to be so much FUN.

Hey Jim, that means we can caravan back up. Was planning on heading back up north solo, but I'll leave when you do on Friday or Saturday. Always better to have two cars. You never know.

EastLosYaker · 11-11-2015, 06:53 AM

Oh, and Jim, are you heading straight down to Asuncion, or fishing another spot on the way down MIGHT be able to leave early to get in an extra day of fishing. San Quintin/Socorro had crossed my mind. Although, don't want to be a 3rd wheel spoiler for you and the spacenut! Haha!

Unfortunately I will be leaving early as well, Fri PM or Sat AM - w/open option for a room and 1/2 day fishing on the way home.

As for you guys fishing on the way down early - I also plan to head down Sat or Sun before (work permitting). I Was planning going to Punta Baja, $10 a night for a room, w/a possible Mon or Sun at San Antonio. Or, maybe camp in Puerto Santo Tomas - depending on weather/fishing in both locations. I have some killer structure spots GPSd in PB. Launch is just funky as are winds.

If I do Punta Baja still, I would meet you guys on the way down in El Rosario around 11 AM on Tuesday - maybe a lunch or fuel stop for some? But I haven't found great food in town yet, so maybe you eat in SQ and meet me at the gas station or grocery stores about noon. Look for my ride along the highway - should not be to hard to spot. Green PA14 on white 4runner w/rear cross bar on hitch.

Looking forward to this - Richard

HAHAHAHA!!! I've done Baja enough times. And I know the scouting required to dial in a new location. No fish stops for me and Robert. We're driving straight to Ross' place.

I'm also bring a few olive branch switches and I plan on riding Ross like the lean, mean, knowledgeable Baja burro that he is. Giddyup Rossie...take me to your 150 yellow spot...now let's go to your 40# spot...

I will be holding nothing back (except from maybe my nemesis Sven) but chances are you will find some spots that I haven't found yet. If you guys have any Raider jigs in you quiver you might want to bring them along. I started using one this week mainly because there are a good number of wahoo roaming the waters and at Zed's suggestion they might bit attracted to the Raiders. Hit a new area yesterday and no hoo but managed 9 yellows on the Raider before being blown off at 10 am. All were pretty small between 8 and 12 lbs but stuck one nice chunky 20 pounder.

Zed · 11-13-2015, 08:22 AM

Yer doin it wrong. Again w the bycatch. Must be 9 [150?] dumber than your average yellows. You gotta wind faster or something.

Bounty on the first pelagic caught while fishing for them.

Rossman make sure Jumbo Jim does NOT get any of MY waypoints! He and The Svede have their own bycatch issues.

makobob · 11-17-2015, 09:38 AM

A WEEK from now we will be fishing Asuncion.
JIM, so you want good spots?????? We know JUAN! Do you know JUAN? If not then you need to meet him. He has been catching WAHOO the last couple of weeks. And I am sure he would be happy to put you and some friends in his panga and show you what he knows. And that 150 YT spot, well it is no secret, just ask Sven.
Guys you can always rent a panga from Juan or other panga fishermen in Asuncion, or do it the BAJA or BUST way, just follow Rossman at 4 am to San Roque fish a few hours and come home around noon when the wind starts to build. The island is only about 2.5 miles from the launch, even Makobob can make the crossing. There is a reef about 1/2 way to the island that holds Yellows. BTW if you need help Sven has been known to TOW anglers home. Tight Lines and Fishy Dreams.
JIM, last trip down, Sven caught a WSB there............................................. ..in daylight!!!!!
