how predictable??


i've gotta admit one of the things i love about baja is the unpredictability of every trip down and the some of the bizarre adventures that go along with the terrain...indeed it is hard to write here every experience as they come to mind but i once remember after a long night waking up with a brutal hangover on a charter fishing boat out of ensenada to the sounds of "Hookup" being yelled quite maniacally over the hum of the diesel engines....my buddies were yelling for me to get up...i stumbled out of the bunkhouse and heard the hum of 4 lines with fish pulling out like mad and lo and behold a deckhand handing me a rod with a yellowtail already on the line,all i had to do was start reeling...and so it went all day reeling up these beautiful fish while dealing with an obscene hangover and feeling quite queazy....we finished the day by watching literally hundreds of dolphins play all around us and about 5 led the way home as we watched them swim like mad under the bow of the boat with some crazy acrobatics thrown in just for fun...needless to say this was one of those unpredictable moments in baja time and also about the time i caught on to what real baja fishing is all about....anybody got any "tales"of unpredictablilty in baja???ya' know things that you never imagine happening that actually happen,lets hear 'em:yes:

Great fishing story. Ther was a moment for my wife and I. Several years ago we launched a tandum sit-on-top kayak as the sun was just coming up, a little south of Loreto. The water was so slick and there was no wind. We paddled slowly along the coast line, heading south, and all of a sudden we were over some type of bait boil. In seconds what seemed like 100's of pelicans began hitting the water all around us, some as close as a foot or two around the kayak. It was an awsome sight and the sounds were surreal. And, would'nt you know, I had forgotten to bring my camera that day. I'll never forget that moment, or my camera again, hah!

The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

Funny Times


I,ve told this story many times but it is one of those moments........While fishing the south end of Carmen one day things were slow and we were drifting around doing much of nothing,I was yoyoing a jig deep when I get this hook-up,after a while we get it along side and this thing,a
very large stressed out monster squid starts doing his thing,first its the ink attack than the fountain effect.
My friend from northern Idaho had never seem a squid let alone a brute like this,being in a 12' boat with less than 2' of freebroad put us eye-ball to eye-ball with this thing
First thing you know its in the boat and my buddy is
trying to get the jig back and yelling get this #$%^ off me.
Picture this 12' boat five or six fishing poles,tackle boxes,life jackets,two grown men and a monster squid sharing the same space:o
Something the two of us speak of often.
