ESPN show featuring Ed Lusk and the Sacramento Reef


ESPN's Going Coastal today featured Ed Lusk (Baja's Best in El Rosario) showing the great fishing off the the Pacific coast of this area. Great sequence where a large mystery fish takes the show's host on a long fight, even breaking the rod's reel seat mid-battle. Pretty neat.

I've always wanted to dive Sacramento Reef after reading about it in The Baja Adventure Book - sounds like it is full of life! I'm gonna go see if I can find the show......Thanks Santiago!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was first dove in about 1957. A group from OC drove down to Punta Baja in US Army 4X4 Dodges pulling small boats. Joe Macabe's 1943 4X4 had a compressor installed by the SoCal compressor man, Leo Burns that ran off the PTO. The lauching was difficult and the water "disturbed" so very little diving. In short an adventure but very little diving.

1962...A group from Orange County, lead by Bob Ruetherford chartered the large pleasure boat the "Double Eagle" motored to the reef and spent about a week diving it. No gold was recovered but a lot of big lobsters were eaten. ( you can read about Bob @ www.portagequarry.com Legends of diving-Sea Sabre signaling system -Bob was the father of UW signaling in 1954 (?))

Thanksgiving 1963 (?) my wife and I once again visited Punta Baja with the intentions of diving the area...It was very disturbed and very cold! I can't recall ever being so cold camping--Inside a VW van in down sleeping bags and covered with a canvas tent.

So If you want to dive it you can have my place for I am never going to return for diving..

Thanks for the info! Very informative...I've camped at Punta Baja once and I too didn't have the best experience - very cold and windy. I doubt I will ever dive the site as I tend to be drawn to warmer water these days when it comes to diving.....
Thanks for the link! Do you know this man?:
