Mood: Want to fish!!!

That is a scary place to put houses!! The road moves on a regular basis. Half the time I can get air in the Tundra!
They have done some grading and compacting, a few large retaining walls and some plumbing, but don't hold your breath.
It is a beautiful place to fish, if you ignore the tuna pens. I've pulled some nice calicos and halibut fishing the rocky shore and kelp stringers.
Keep your eyes on the road, and your hands upon the wheel!

If only they'd reopen the campground......that was the last place to camp north of Ensenada with any character. In my dreams.....

They used have little stone pools fed by a spring in the olive grove.
Epic horseshoe bowl with some of the thickest kelp Ive ever seen (in about 1979-1980)
No worries

That little stone pool was just epic, with the grass bank and palm tree, a perfect way to rinse off after a session outside. Now is is full of cow
crap, overgrown with reeds, the whole place is overrun with trash. It was a perfect oasis. One family used to live there, Laredo ran the place. He
kept up the place very nice and clean. Now there are a dozen families there and they don't seem to care about the place one bit. They have trashed
it, a real bummer.

My dad has some great stories about fishing there with his dad in the 40's and then going back to surf there in 1950. He and his buddies missed a few
days of work after a heavy spring rain and they could not get back up the old dirt road up over to El Tigre until it dried out. I surfed there quite a
bit in the 70's. The right direction and size you could get some long ones.
Get out while you can!

The old Earl Stanley Gardner books would talk about Salsipuedes, but I recall these references to be about a canyon rather than a beach.

12/10/83 #3 of a 4 shot sequence. i was the only guy in the water at the time. my buddy got the shots and paddled out. it was the first time i'd ever
been to Salsi, and as it turned out, the last. the best wave of my life. 6'5" single fin pintail.
the shark wouldn't bite, the bee wouldn't sting, and Bugs Bunny tip-toed through the brush unnoticed.....

Great pics. I have a few but they're digital and don't look as cool.
I'll never forget paddling out (december 2005) at the reef in front of the campgrounds when it was double overhead, and proceeded to take about a
fifteen footer on the head. I gave up and checked around the corner. The point was firing, more protected from the wind, and only 2 guys out. VW
size boulders took my center fin while trying to paddle out. Still, a fun 3 hours in the water and the last time I ever surfed the point. Almond
shaped barrels that made the loudest, most violent cracking sound as the lip exploded into the flats.
Had birthday parties, bachelor parties, and solo camp trips over the years. Like I said, it was the last place that you could do a decent camp trip
within an hour of the border.

get some pictures and then i jumped in! after that session i never felt the need to go back and ruin the memories.....
