A surf fishing adventure...


Not my adventure, but got permission from the original author to post this here. Enjoy!
______________

Baja Surf Fishing Adventure Video......
Well, after all the hoopla that followed our adventure down the Baja coast in search of spotfin and corbina, I have finally put together the video of our trip.

I shot hours of video on my cell phone. Love taking my other cameras for
filming, but it is such a hassle at times. Having a cell phone in your backpack makes getting footage very easy. It is a bit shaky at times, but otherwise works just fine.

We had just a spectacular time on this trip, even with the mishap. In fact, as you will see, it really defined our adventure. Could have done without it, but
the three extra days. despite being stressful at times, were actually very eye opening. We met some great people on those days, and made some great friends that we will surely visit in the future.

The video is quit long (1 hour and 8 minutes), but there was just so much that happened, I wanted to tell the entire story.

Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for sharing that ---- good to see them:

-- catching lots of fish
-- enjoying the beautiful landscape
-- Marshall just enjoying all the experiences
It was also good to see our good friend Victor. :yes:

But it was not good seeing that poor truck out surfing.

Glad you all like the video, but as I said in the OP, it's not my video. Not my truck. Not my adventure. Not my loss. According to the owner, the truck is still somewhere in Mexico and was a total loss.

Wow, well thanks for posting. A few of us that are physically unable to take this adventure sure are grateful...

Marshall is a better man than me. i don't think i could take seeing my truck swimming in the ocean. almost happened at a beach north of La Bocana a year ago when i sank into the sandy shell quicksand right at the tide line. good thing it was going out cuz the waves were coming to within 4 feet of the tires as i deflated them and crawled out.

He did a good job of editing, I am assuming using Pro Show software, many of the Ken Burn's style effects.

What an adventure! Great fishing. Great crew. Great times.

Sorry about the truck. Those deep shell beds in that area are bizarre and now we know just how bad.

I'd bet my last dollar someone (Mexican Mechanic) gets that truck going and ends up with a crusty gem
