Baja Trip 6/22-7/2 2013


Below is my video report of our trip to Baja.

We overnighted in Guerrero Negro at Cowboy, it was clean and a good value.

Ran out to the petroglyphs, incredible. Pozo Aleman, we could of stayed for hours shooting photos.

We had a GREAT time in Bahia Asuncion. Shari is a wonderful host. All we wanted to do was to unwind on the patio, listening to the waves and sea life. The Rock Room was incredible and gave us the best night sleep of the trip. We will definitely be back every trip.

The best meal was Juanitas in Bahia Asuncion, with Los Equipales in Mulege a very close second. We timed the return trip so we could eat at Los Equipales one more time.

San Javier was very nice, Rose found a lantern she liked in the little rancher craft store next to the police office. Road was ok, watch the edges.

Rain storm in La Paz. East Capes' inshore waters turned over and was cold and green. 7-8 feet visibility. We ran South to the reefs off of Punta Colorada and the Pargo hole one day. Not much action on the deep iron. We ran North to Punta Pescadero, cold and green. Headed East for 15 miles until it turned blue. We were near the end of our range in the Inflatable, so we headed in.

Fished with Nino 1 day. 5 Marlin released, we ran out of Ballyhoo. 1 stop we had no less then 4 in the spread. Nate jumped in to film them 2 times before the weather came up and I wouldnt let him off the boat anymore. One more time and we would of had the camera just right......

Bat Caves smell.....very badly :lol:

I love my 4Runner and the new suspension.

I wont drive home without staying at the hotel in Catavina anymore. Perfect stopping place when headed North.

It was a pleasure having your family here with us Frank! I loved the video and shed some tears on the fishing scenes as I felt Stan was looking over my shoulder watching it with me...I heard his laugh and felt him smile as he enjoyed seeing you reel that fish in! great images...what video program did you use?
See you next time bro.

Hi Frank, what a fun video of a great trip. Looks like the pavement has reached San Javier? Yes, Pozo Aleman is super interesting as are the cave paintings nearby... and, well, the rest of Baja too!
Thank you,
David

Loved every second of your video trip report ~ WOW!

And the rock room at Shari and Juan's place looks fantastic.

You have a great 'eye' for taking photos Frank!
