No Country Club For Old Men Part 2


Tuesday afternoon we made a road trip to see Woody and Bea who were camped a few miles North. They had this beautiful bay all to themselves. We cooked up some Brats and chatted for a couple of hours. Woody is from San Diego.

(No pics here per request)

Wednesday we hit the Island North again and scrubbed off the rocky shoreline North of camp. Very intense fishing here with the surge and overhead rollers.

Thursday, the last day we headed South again to fish some stones in about 50-60’ of water. The fishing was insane. At one point I had 14 straight drops with quality calicos each time.













The last night we were invited to Rafael’s son’s 17th birthday party. Rafael is a local panga fisherman and entrepreneur. He and his wife, Maru, run the grocery store and have a 4 room motel also. This little store is the Community center. Everybody in the town of 200 people hangs out here it seems. They were very gracious to us the entire time and even allowed me to use the only phone in town to check in at home.

Poor pic of Rafael and Joe



Maru cooking up asada for the party.



I wasn’t prepared with a gift for Rafael Jr., so I improvised with an origami $20.00 bill. I folded it up the night before and asked permission from mama before giving it to him.

The Tienda



The motel. Rooms are clean, have a queen bed, shower and toilet. $25.00 a night. Maru will also make meals for you if you ask her ahead of time.



We left Friday morning at 0500 and hit Catavina just after sunrise.



What worked:

Big Hammer 6” baits.

Sardine for the reefs, Xmas Tree and Calico Hunter on the boilers and island. Clear red flake everywhere.

Uni- Butter….KILLED IT!

Salaz 6X jr in scrambled egg in the boilers and trolling.

Great week and my first trip to Baja in over 3 years. I miss that place.

OK, now that you have been down again, buy the Invader, and I'll let you use the La Mision house Chuck! Nice checkers buddy, thanks for sharing!



Keep your eyes on the road, and your hands upon the wheel!
