Bahia Asuncion November 2014
 

CONFIRMED THANKSGIVING WEEK SPECIAL

This trip is a go. This is the BEST time to fish here, I will post more after our return from our trip here in January. All welcome. This is their busiest time so we will have to let them know if we need more than one house. If not then some will have to camp on the beach. Tight lines and bloody gaffs.

Anglers are:

Makobob
Buddha
Sven
Rossman
EOD
PapaDave

Asuncion 2014 UPDATED
 

Our Jan 2013 ASUNCION trip was GREAT, just ask Rossman, Adam, Svendawg or Buddha. PRIME TIME is around THANKSGIVING. We can use the San Roque house again. Seeing this is the busy time of year for Shari and Juan we need to set dates soon if we want the house again, also if you want to rent a panga at that time it is best to reserve one EARLY. Please post or Pm Makobob to get it on this trip. Ross got 37 and 43.4 lb TAILS, Adam got 38lb Tail. Hard to beat fish like these on a yak. Tight lines and bloody gaffs.

Makobob

I can do it from November 27 to December 7.

Looking forward to going back.

Gentlemen it is 2 days down, and 2 days back at safe speeds, leaving 7 1/2 days fishing time. We had good weather last year going a month later so it should be even less windy his year. There are 4 beds available in the San Roque house and 2 are spoken for. So two beds are still available inside and camping is available outside. House cost $425 last year for 10 days, so figure about $100 each, plus food, ice, drinks and fuel. Total cost should be under $500 for the trip +++++TACKLE. Which you will loose!!!!! Ice and water are available about 8 miles away in Asincion. We will be staying at the San Roque house again this year. 2.5 mile paddle to the island. Last year fishing was good, this year? Should be GREAT. Buddha and Makobob, and Sven are in, room for up to 2-3 more maximum. This will be the final trip for Baja or Bust in 2014. AND no ONE has asked about 2015 yet, so expect short trips to the Gonzaga area January-June.

UPDATE
 

The San Roque house is RESERVED for this week, we got the house for $300 for the week with NO CLEANING deposit because we left it clean last year. So if you want to get a bed inside it will cost you $75 for the week, split the fuel on your vechicle with another person and this trip gets to be very inexpensive.

I'm in

UPDATE
 

So here is the score so far. Myself, Buddha, and Ross are in the HOUSE, Sven is camping outside again. There is room for one more inside, cost of bed is $75 for the week. First come first served.

I'll go. I'll take the last in the house.

I'm in

Papa Dave and EOD looks like you guys just filled this trip up. I will contact everyone with further details soon. It appears that the beds in the house are all full, as is the trip.

OK guys this trip is FULL, however if you are really interested, a couple more could be included, however we would have to know rather soon, so additional arraingements can be made. Thank you everyone.

UPDATE
 

We are down to a little over 100 days away from the start of this trip. Last year we learned that some of the tackle needed to be heavier. Split rings and hooks on the Mega Baits were too light. Split ring pliers are helpful. Lures with some RED because the longustina were everywhere. 6 December is the FULL MOON.

We also learned that there are some BIG Tails around. Ross and Adam landed yellows in the 35-43 pound range and I'll bet larger ones were lost. 50 pounders are not unheard of, and calicos over 20" are an EVERY DAY event. And none of us fished live bait, this was all artificals. So guys what are our plans for his years trip?

This trip departs in one month! The line up is Makobob, Buddha, Svendawg, Rossman, EOD, and PapaDave. To keep expenses and waste down we will each be responsible for some meals.
We will eat dinner at a stop on day one. The 27th we arrive in camp and Buddha will be cooking. The 28th will be EOD's turn. The 29th will be Sven. 30th is Ross. Hopefully these will be fresh meat meals. Starting on the 1st we will have to have fresh sea food or canned meals. I cook on the 1st, PapaDave on the 2nd. On the 3rd it will be Sven, followed on the 4th by Buddha. I will cook on the 5th, we will eat on the road on the 6th, probabally in San Quintin. Which will put us home on the 7th.
Ross, PapaDave and EOD only cook one dinner EACH so they will talk it out and bring stuff/snacks for lunches. We are on our own for breakfast, some will be fishing before others get out of bed. On the day you cook dinner you need to tell us what time dinner wll be served. The cook for the evening meal is exempted from clean up that night.
We all bring our own drinking, cooking and shower water. Last year this was a good trip, this year it could be GREAT. You can trade your cooking days if you want, just talk it out. Thanks guys!!!

One day I will make one of these trips....:(

Anyone that wants me to cook for their turn let me know. I was prepared to cook all the meals like last years trip.

Hope every one likes Slim Jims and Pacifico's for dinner.

Slim Jims
 

I sure Jeff has several ways to cook Slim Jims

YUM slim jims and spam in a stirfry with pineapples.

Bob,, I might just jump in the back of your truck and cover myself with a tarp. Be like a lone wolf and just hang on the outside of the group picking through your trash for food. Can't figure out how I'd get my yak down there though. Jim

Can anyone comment on the preferred route through TJ to Ensenada since the toll road land slide? Assuming entry at San Ysidro is it best to take the old Highway 1 or take the toll road part way and cut over to the old Highway before the landslide?

We all need this information soon. Asuncion is coming up fast, less than a month away. Time for everyone going on this trip to RECONFIRM please. And I would like to know who will be in the caravan, with me and Buddha?

I will ask Shari on Facebook what the situation is from TJ on down to Bahia Asuncion.

Talked to Shari today and she said that the road opened today.

Well maybe Shari got wrong information.

There is a detour around the Ensenada area, so no worries. I did a trip with a buddy the first week of Oct and the roads were already drive able all the way to Asuncion. We only spent one night there due to huge surf, but here are a few pics from fishing off a small cliff right in town.

As if you guys need anything to get you pumped up for the trip:)

ONE WEEK to go!!!
 

Getting down to the wire, We plan to meet up at the Mc Donalds at PALM AVE and the 805 at 6am on Wednesday 26 November. This will put us into Asuncion on the morning, before noon on the 27th. I need to know who is going to caravan with Jeff and myself. Papa Dave and Sven please confirm. Ross and Zed please let me know where we will meet you. Brew we might see you there. Tight lines all. One week and counting.

Did I miss a meeting? I thought you guys were leaving the day after Thanksgiving. We are leaving the day before Thanksgiving also but had planned on meeting up with you folks on the evening of the 28th. I am going to have to recalibrate.

Confirm
 

I will join in on the caravan

OK we will meet you at the Cowboy on the night of the

Sorry fat finger problem. The night of the 26th. There is not a room to handle 6 people there so we will get a room for us

JUST IN from Romspacenut

Bahia Asuncion November 2014
Hi Makobob,

I was wondering if there's room for me to join Bahia Asuncion in Nov? I don't mind sleeping in a tent either.

Robert

Jeff, Sven, Dave, Ross, WHAT do you guys think? Room for one more tent?

Ok Cowboys on the 26th. Has anyone heard from Papa Dave?
CALLING PAPA DAVE You need to check in please.

No problem with me. I thought with OEX bowing out we have an extra spot in the house

Sorry that was EOD bowing out

He wanted to get in on the Gonzaga trip last year at the last minute and then cancelled. He was lax in the communication department. It remains to be seen if he will confirm. I don't think there is room for 6 people in the house. 4 is actually crowded.

If he wants to come we need a definite confirmation and he can sleep in a tent.

Actually I don't care either way. People that want to get in on these trips and do them on their own time frame with a last minute's notice and then cancel I have no respect for.

Sorry but this trip has been talked about for months.

Papa Dave is out. That gives us Bob, Jeff, Ross, and son in the house. Sven and possibly Space nut outside.

Romspacenut will not be going with us on this trip so it is Jeff, Ross and Zed, Sven and myself. Asuncion here we come. Looks like a rerun from last year. See you guys soon.

Electronics
 

For those that need to charge their electronics, you need to bring your own power strip. We always seem to run out of outlets to plug everyone into.
I will be bring my generator. Plenty of power not enough outlets

Ok so Romspacenut says he wants to go and then 3 hours he cancels. Why am I not surprised.
