Gawd! that was a nightmare....

Not so bad any more. I crossed on a Wednesday eve 3 weeks ago in about 15 minutes! Looks like the expansion is done with twice as many booths open and there are now express lanes for those who have passport cards. Get a passport card!

So, what is the BEST time to kayak fish San Quentin? Let's get in on the calender for 2014. Families could make this trip.

Late May / Early June is the best time to take advantage of the killer halibut fishing in San Q. I think it'd be awesome to get a group together and hit it up - either camping out on the point or staying at the Old Mill. Camping puts you closer to the fishing grounds though..

I'm in for some trips (depending on work requirements) - Gonzaga is high on my list because I haven't been there yet (October is the best month i understand). Springtime in San Quintin and Asuncion Bay would be cool.

Sentri passes - it costs $150 to get a Sentri pass, and it's good for 5 years. If you cross more than a couple times a year it's totally worth it at $30/year.
To apply, go to the following link and create a login, then fill out the application. There is a $25 application fee, then when the application is approved you have to go down and do a face-to-face interview. The office is just this side of the Otay border crossing. Then they fingerprint you, tell you the rules and ins & outs of being a pass holder and collect $125. The card arrives in the mail a few weeks later.

November or December would be the best months for another trip to Bahia Asuncion. We might have to make earlier reservations as this is their busiest time.
