Beautiful boat!

Great video! that big Triton with the 225's is a monster. I bet its a comfy ride. Moore_Rb, I have twin Honda 150's on my 253, which is a heavy boat. Last fall I ran out of San Diego to the butterflies (which is almost a 60nm run straight east) in 5' seas and fished the entire day. Back at the...

Now that's how to do it! With block ice you bring one cooler just for ice and fill it tight. It will last a long time like that. Sounds like a very well planned trip. I would definately be up for an adventure like that. I have a small fridge on the Mako but its pretty much worthless for...

Block ice in coffin coolers is always the best. It will last 5 days in 90d weather in the shade. Ice is always an issue on long campouts. Keeping fish for without freezing is always risky

Oops, double post, with edited response. I would definately bring some cans especially since i have a heavy throttle hand. I may look into building some auxilliary bow tanks to increase my range. The twin Hondas are pretty efficient but i rarely get better that 1.5 mpg. Always in a hurry to hit...

I would be up for a trip like this in my 25' Mako. It only holds 130 gallons of fuel with a safe range of 150 miles with fishing involved. Fuel bladder is probably the best bet for me and I'd rather not make the run from RP. It would be great to have 3 or four boats.

What a great trip! I would love to see more pic's and hear more details. I have always wanted to make a trip like that.

Pompanos, i dont know why I could'nt remember that!

Here is a link to a link for licesnses online: http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/mexico/137435-buy-your-mex-fishing-license-online-save.html From what the thread describes, you pay the peso equivelent. I forget the name of the place we use to buy ours at, its the little fishing store...

Fishing from a kayak is a blast! The hard part is landing the fish and trying to stay upright! Thanks for the report!

Great report Don! Where's the pic's? :D The single hook is a great idea and you will also have a less chance of getting hooked up on the bottom. you also might want to look into small Marauders since they are designed to be used with strong single hooks. I have heard good things about the...

I wish I was headed down, the weather window is so tempting but I can't clea up my schedule this weekend. Take alot of pics for us!

Nothing worse than pulling hooks on a fish you never saw! That was probably the best weather until next fall, cause it will be in the 100's in no time. Thanks for the report!

Thanks for the report Stuart. We were very close to doing a last muinite trip and loading up the boat to head out early Friday morning until tuesday. Buoyweather was changing drastically by the hour so if figured it would be very hit and miss. Too bad you guys didn't get into anything, atleast...

A life raft would be nice, but they are also alot of maintenance. There is a company that sells emergency locator beacons, similar to an Epirb but they monitor them around the world and will alert emergency personnel in what ever country they recieve a distress call from. Off hand I cant...

I have a dielectric spray that is clear that I spray all of my electrical connections with. It has worked for me so far, but I've never had anything submerged. I installed a new jonhnson 1600 bilge pump and it died after a minute of use. I much prefer the Rule pumps and they are definately...

Sounds like something shorted when the batteries were submerged, you should probably check all of the wiring connections that were submerged and clean them. It is also helful to spray them with the dielectric grease for protection. Hopefully your batteries were fully sealed or they may have...

My wife and I were down there were down there last weekend for the night and stayed at the Rosarito Beach Hotel. We payed the standard weekend rate ($79) and were given a beach front cottage, since the place was empty. Between the economy and shooting reports its pretty empty down there. Add...

With a name like Vaquita, I would image they taste like veal :lol: When I lived in hawaii we regularly saw Monk seals (a little over 1000 remaining) but they look similar to most other seals, nothing special. I would much rather see a Vaquita.

This article was posted over on Bloodydecks & I found it interesting enough to share. Anyone see one of these while on the water? http://www.sanfelipe.com.mx/vaquita/vaquita1.html
