Hey Bob, for some reason I thought there was a trip going April 16th for a week. Did that trip get switched to April 6 to 11? Or did I just dream there was a trip going April 16th when it wasn't really so?

Can't wait to hit the Cortez in my new outback--life is goooooooood!!!!

Rock on Bob! You are something else with all these trips you create for us. Thank you, sir! I'm good to go the week of April 16.

Hashem, I see you also got yourself an outback, right? A non-new model with the seat that you like? Very nice! When are you coming down to Gonzaga? I'm also looking to get in on the trip at the end of May, when are you coming, Hashem?

Mahigeer 02-17-2016 05:46 PM

Yes I bought a 2013 model blue outback.

As to coming to Baja, it will be a while.

In July I am doing something that I have been wishing to do for about (50) years or so. When I was a lee lad in Tehran, I saw in a movie an angler fishing in a canoe in Canada. Obviously I had no idea that I would end up living in USA at that time, so it was a dream for sure.

Recently I have been hearing myself talk about my dream a lot. After meeting Bob and reading his advice here that--- "don't wait for 20 years, and then say I wish I had done it".

I have made reservation for mid-July to take the Amtrak Starlight Line from downtown Los Angeles to Seattle, Washington. Then a bus will take me to Vancouver, BC, Canada. A (30) hrs. Journey with lots of ocean scenery to see.

After a night’s stay in Vancouver, I will be driving in a rental car for about (6) hours to a fishing camp north of Vancouver. At which point I will be spending seven (7) days fly fishing (mostly) in about 20 different private lakes. Most have row boats for use for free.
After a week of bliss in “paradise”, I will reverse the process.

I know my answer was much more than you wanted to know, but I cannot contain my excitement.
Sharing it with my fishing family here makes it even sweeter. Of course a complete report will follow.

Now the next step is to tell my wife about it!!!

makobob 02-17-2016 06:07 PM

Hashem, congratulations, sir that is HOW you achieve your DREAMS. YOU DID IT!!!

Hashem, that is fantastico! Any dream that is more than 10 years old needs to be paid attention to and realized if possible. Any dream that is 50 years old needs to be realized, possible or not!!!! Make it happen my friend! And then give us a report of course :luxhello:

619-SWIM-DOG 02-17-2016 07:04 PM

Fish Head SOUP and Steamed Fish, hard combination to beat. YUM YUM..

makobob 03-16-2016 05:08 PM

Three of us are ready for this trip. Join us while the temps are not too high. We now have a 16x32 foot covered patio, plus the garage to sleep a total of about 15 people. So there is ROOM for YOU. Question to Chuck, is the Adventure Island coming.
I will have dinner twice if needed at restaurant. Ribs and Shrimp. If wanting to come I have room in the truck for 2 people plus yaks. 1st come 1st served. Tight Lines.

No Adventure Island this time Bob, too short a trip. Going to focus on local spots with the outback. Very excited to get back down there, see you soon!

SOON, we had a whale shark this last trip, early for them. Really have no idea what is coming for Baja this year. Big sierra already, grunion last month, YT and sardinera, needle fish? Tight Lines.

Druko 03-18-2016 02:59 PM

I might be able to make this trip also

John M 03-27-2016 09:41 AM

Bob
Bill and I would like to go on the 4/6 to 4/11 trip.
Can't go down on 4/6, but will come down on 4/7.
Do you still have room for 2?

John

Dannowar 03-27-2016 11:40 AM

Mahigeer 03-28-2016 01:38 PM

Any report or pictures of fish caught during the last visit?

619-SWIM-DOG 03-28-2016 01:53 PM

Glassy Gonzaga, doesn't get better than that. I'm going to buy an anti-Trump t-shirt to take down next month. That should get me a free beer or three!!

makobob 03-29-2016 09:08 AM

6-11 April is only a week away.

Guys please confirm your intensions. I plan on meeting at Johnny's Shell station in El Cajon at 5 am the 6th. WHO will be there? So far weather has been pretty good this spring. There are as of yesterday NO PANGAS fishing from our beach. Corvina, needlefish, bass, cabrilla, sierra and pargo are all around with some 20+ YT. WSB????
Please confirm . See you soon, Tight Lines.

Druko 03-29-2016 04:55 PM

I wont be able to make this trip, hoping to do the full moon trip. Good luck and looking forward to the report.

Chuck D 03-29-2016 05:46 PM
