Caravan to Bahia de Los Angeles, fall 2018 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I got hassled at the border last year for having a 10 gallon gas can, they wanted me to either give it to them or not cross the border. I played dumb and got lucky with a warning. They just want you to spend the money down there. Besides you don't want the headache of dealing with border security to start off your Baja adventure..
And the weapon thing is no joke, even pocket knives are outlawed...I know a few people who have been hassled for that and have had to bribe their way out of going to jail.

I hope the Bahia de los angeles trip is great mahigeer, its def on my bucket list. Place looks amazing with great fishing and very safe by Mexico standards, although I did read about a pretty nasty double murder there back a few months ago.

My insurance agent who insured my Cessna 172 said if my Cessna was confiscated, stolen, impounded etc., by anyone in Mexico who works for the government in an official capacity, I'm NOT covered and SOL. I've flown to Baja 6 times. It was wonderful, breath-taking, goose-bump thrilling, but the risk for me is foolish. I stopped flying there in the early 90's.

Bahia de Los Angeles has always been one of my favorite stops. From the air, I found many favorite, incredibly beautiful desolate places.

Bahia de LA is great. Fishing is wonderful. Many GREAT memories exploring the north end of the bay and around the islands.

I remember a bumper sticker in the window of a place I would go to for my morning coffee and heuvos rancheros. It had already been there for many years when I saw it the first time. Something like this: "Welcome To The 14th Reunion Of Bob's Annual Divorce Party" That was probably around 20 years ago. Let me know if it's still there.
