Lucky guys.

You should have bought a lottery ticket afterwards!

Plans are at work for an October trip.

Just bought a camping hot water maker from Sport Chalet at %40 off. I already have a shower tent.

Such a great trip, even if I was only there for two full days. Kai, the ribs were amazing! As was the pulpo, almejas, and Sven's elk cowboy stew (Sven if there is anyway you can send me that recipe I'd be much obliged!).

Oh yeah, and the fishing wasn't too bad either. I didn't land anything big, but the steady action had me constantly giggling like a little schoolgirl. Countless spotties/triggers/sierra, and a dozen rat yt's in a couple of days for me.

Also, to Danny and Pierre, thanks for the vacuum sealed grouper filets I found in my cooler.

!!

Thanks to Makobob and everyone for such a great time! Now I'll just have to daydream of Gonzaga until the next trip down.

BTW, I had an hour and fifteen minute border wait Wed at noon.

I joined this forum specifically for trip reports about kayak fishing in Baja. This is awesome! I grew up 30 miles north of Mexicali and I have been taking trips down Baja (mainly Baja Norte on the Sea of Cortez side) for 39 years. Unfortunately, I only started kayak fishing 5 years ago.

Gonzaga Bay is one of my favorite destinations. I've never caught grouper like the ones pictured here but the thought of it is one (of the many) things that keeps me going back. Well done!

A group of four of us is headed south on June 21st. We are going to fish Punta Final (Gonzaga Bay) on the evening of the 21st and morning of the 22nd. PM on the 22nd we are headed to BOLA where we will likely camp at Punta Gringa and fish Isla Smith for a couple days. I have to return to the States on the 25th but some folks will likely stay a bit longer.

If you are into long paddles and battling heat exhaustion, you are welcome to join us!
