Colonet Mexico, Memorial Weekend 2006 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Holy Mackerel · 04-18-2006, 08:11 AM

It is that time of year again, where I will be heading down to Colonet, baja to camp and fish. I thought I would post this now, to give anyone interested time to plan, and get time off.

This is a great place to get away from civilization with very primitive camping, and over the years great fishing. Colonet has a magnificient coastline, with seemingly never ending high sea cliffs. Surf is normally small in summer 1-2 ft, sometimes occasional 3-4 set, last memorial, I stepped over the waves.

This is an open invite for anyone to join us down to Colonet this year. I hope to get a good crowd, and I am willing to share this spot with those of you who kayak fish. Unfortunately, there are plans to build a large seaport in this area, so it will not be as it is forever.

Fishing includes: WSB, yellowtail, lingcod, rockfish, Calicos, Halibut, and surf perch...

I plan on leaving down mid morning Thursday May 25th, and returning back Tuesday the day after Labor Day, as I plan on making a trip of it... It will be come and go as you please, as we have made this trip on only a couple days, ie Sat through Monday and had a great quick trip.

Just cross the border via I-5, and take MEX HWY 2 to HWY 1 toll roads. (just head towards Ensenda cuato) There are three tolls, each toll is about $2.30 American. Follow HWY 1 to Ensenada. Continue past Ensenada, HWY 1 will now say "San Quintin." Colonet is only 145 miles south of the border, which is 77 miles past Ensenada at KM 126. Once you cross the border, this trip takes 3 to 4 hours depending on traffic, and how fast you drive.

The specific tournoff for Punta Colonet is at the end of town at about KM marker 129ish, you will turn off onto a dirt road on your right with the following sign:

Colonet is a small town, but has plenty of ammenities, including a Pemex recently built with a mini-mart. But instead of sandwiches, they have burritos with a chile in cellophane in their store, as well as, clearly knockoffs of red bull, and gatorade. There are a few small stores as well, which you can replenish your beer, ice, water, and beer. These stores contain plenty of other items, we even found soy sauce for our yellowtail once. My suggestion is to bring all your own food, beer, water with you. Then replenish ice and beer in town, and other minor items as described above.

This is not a sausage festivial, feel free to bring your ladies if they are camper types, some of us are bringing ours. (they need to keep eachother company, while we fish)

We hope you can join us... There will be a $10 Jackpot for Sunday's fishing, excluding sharks, rays, and whales.
