Here and I thought you were just a fishing guru. This is just classic, thank you.

I have been traveling Baja for a lot of years and have not had one incident involving police, or violence. For every episode of that gets sensationalized in the press and media, I can give you 5 first hand experiences when the people of Mexico have gone out of their way to assist this old language challenged gringo. One cannot stop along the side of the highway for a pit stop or a dog walk and have a car pass by without stopping to make sure you are OK. Unless of course that passing car is a gringo. I have had two vehicle issues in all my driving down here. One flat tire and one dead battery. Both times a local would not necessarily ask if I needed help; they would just flat take ownership of the problem and not move on ne until it was fixed. Driving to o a Laker game is when I get scared. Driving through Irvine after a little rain gives me nightmares.

Nick5, Baja is fun and normally safe. Most problems are actually ADVENTURES which is why I go to BAJA in the first place. Like Rossman I enjoy the people and country. It is safer to caravan in a group the first few times, but you will also enjoy the solo trips. Speaking spanish is good but not nessessary as these are friendly people. RESPECT goes a long way. IF you get your paperwork together then I can provide the transportation for my SPRING BREAK TRIP. Split the fuel and plan on cooking one nights meal for everyone or paying for our dinner at the restaurant. Fuel usually cost more then the one dinner you provide the crew. Unless you loose a lot of fishing tackle or are a heavy drinker these trips usually cost less then $250.00 for the week.
Just got back, last week the weather was nice. TWO days no wind, one great morning with afternoon winds at 15 mph. ONE windy day 15-20. Then 3 no wing days. Temps in the mid to high 70's. Nights 45-55. Beautiful sun rises, some fish. Bass, sierra (small) Cabrilla in the 5-20 pound class. AND Orange Mouth Corvina up to 10+ pounds from the beach. Tight Lines.
