to catch some surf earlier this year. Stay S.Q. or E. R. figure it out as you go. Stop at La Lobera on the way down or back, worth seeing. It sounds
like you want to wander and get beach time, you can't go wrong in that area. La Bocana and Estro Coyte are also worth checking out, depending on you
time. There is a Hotel in Santa Rosillita that was nice clean room not far from the beach within a days drive.
La Mission Hotel for you and your son would be best if you plan to stop in S Q on the water you can drive on the beach, good place for him to practice
driving. Tons of sand dollars lots more for him to do. Top off the tank as you get back the highway.
I like to use big white grubs foo surf fishing as well as the other bait listed. You will have a blast!! Don't forget to pick up a couple of
skyrockets and M80s too.
Tell your friends to stay home if they don't feel comfortable going, they will miss out on the fun. |
More
great tips, thanks. Where do we get the M80s and sky rockets? La mission sounds like a good call. Maybe hit Jardine's if I come back down with the
wife.
Thanks

the surf beach Los Choros, San Hipolito area etc etc. The locals are super friendly and your son will make friends...we can hook you up.
look forward to meeting you...see ya soon
Oh yeah, I have both fishing licenses and biosphere reserve bracelt/permits to sell here. |
I can't wait
Shari. How much is a panga rental for a few hours in the morning?

fishing trips are $200...you will need magnum exraps, mackeral style and heavy line if you want to catch yellowtail!
Our annual Surf Tournament is on Aug.9-10 which is a super fun family event at Choros surf beach...your son would love it! so maybe consider those
dates here

Is "La mission Inn" and "Mission Santa Maria" the same place in S.Q.?
Are these places considered "secure"? Do I need to unload everything from my roof rack and bring it in at night? I've heard the crime rate in S.Q.
is high do to a meth problem?

My map
shows the last place to get gas is the Viscaino turn off on Hwy 1. That would be 50 miles from B.A.? with lots of exploring and bad milage, I don't
think the 10 gals of gas is a bad idea unless they put in a Pemex at B.A.
Are you saying I have no chance of getting ill if I drink the local water? That is contrary to everything I've read. Could anyone else comment on
this? Would like more opinions

For a 15 boy that just came off a long drive and is starting a baja trip, The Mission offers more to do. Way more. There is a fun beach or going over
to the bay to mess around just steps out the backdoor.
If we were pulling in at dark Jardines, at 5:00 with 3 hours of light The Mission.

Sounds like a good plan, Tnx

Do you guys and gals recomend we get our tourist visas right at the boarder at San Ysidro? Should I get insurance thru Baja Bound? If I'm coming back
on a Sunday, which border crossing should I use?
Sorry for so many questions.

Get insurance and a tourist visa, don't take a chance without them.
Ask the crowd but I think both can be done on line. We get our visas at the Port of Entry. One cool thing that happened last time crossing at San Luis
Sonora, the bank was closed and Mexican Immigration let us pay on the new computer system, receipts, visa everything no problemo.
And like they said, bring stuff to play in the surf !
Oh, and get in the "something to declare lane" it usually puts you in a position to park at the crossing into Mexico with customs so you can get your
paperwork done.

Is trolling Rapalas the only thing offered? Can I fish with Irons, either surface or YoYo?
Maybe fish for some big Calicos too. I'm bringin a bunch of swimbaits. Either way Shari, we're gonna get 'em. I'm thinkin Fri the 8th on the panga
rental.

I heard you have to pay at a bank and have them stamp it. There's supposed to be a bank across the street
from Imigracion office? Im talking TJ crossing.

Most of us drink agua purificado in town, I"m going on a limb here but I think Woodys means gas and filtered water are avail in BA, Tortugas and the
like.
Now Woody............ I think he does drink the local water

Just go through T.J. it is very easy, they do it all right in front of you. no more bank B.S. You can also exchange gringo dollars for pesos. Right
as you walk in.
One stop shop! pesos are great for your fuel! As you come in to the border, you make a hard right, after that go straight, don't turn left! through
the opening, park on the left. Have a great time

Asuncion has nearly everything you need...unless you NEED asparagus! hahaha and the new Pemex is scheduled to open this weekend.
now about those calicos...perhaps some like this would tickle your fancy?
sure you can throw irons...just sayin that rapalas get the job done.
And PLEASE dont bring boxes of bottled water. I can lend you a 5 gallon jug for purified water or just come over and fill up your personal water
bottles...every village has purified water so a 2.5 gallon jug would be a good thing to have.

Bassaholic,
There is one more logistical issue and that's navigating the TJ "freeway system" to head south bound. Me, I would shoot for the toll road on the coast
to Ensenada which will divert to the La Mission road to Ensenada around the toll road landslide, long story.
If your closer a better bet is the Tecate crossing. Its a winding run through the Baja Norte wine country to Ensenada.... notta drag but eye opening
to some of what Baja has to offer.
