I have a 2016 Bayrunner baja 19ft with 90hp Yamaha 4stroke, T top, 4g radar, simrad go9, simrad auto pilot. I know your looking for one over 20ft but I thought I'd throw that out there

They have 65# spectra with 30# mono on the 20 and 40# mono on the 30's

I have a 2016 like that that I'm thinking of selling

Fishing Puerto A Lopez Mateos is definitely on my bucket list. I've been there twice but never in the fall and didn't get to fish. I've fished LA Bocana and Estero Coyote from my kayak. Took my kayak to Mag Bay 20yrs ago but never got to put it in the water. Now days I got a wife and an 11yr old...

I've caught some huge calico's there in October and November

Asuncion is a great place to fish that time of year Tuna, Wahoo, big Yellowtail and Calico's

Nice Wahoo wish we could make it down this year. Had to spend all my vacation money on knee surgery

Always top off your fuel before launching its cheaper. Sit at the launch ramp on a busy day and watch. You'll learn a lot of what not to do. When you pull up to a dock have everything already set up to tie off. Put drain plug in before you launch. I put mine in when I hook up the trailer. I...

PQ has been one of the top boats for the last 20 years no mater who's been the Captain. Not taking anything away from Gavin. He's Good for sure. Not many boats in the fleet drift like the PQ does and it seems like the boat attracts and holds fish better than most. I believe the Qualifier drifted...

I've been fishing on the PQ more times than any other boat with different crews and Capitans since early 2000s albacore, San Diego and Morro Bay. it's always been one if the best fishiest boats out there. I honestly think the boat itself has a lot to do with it.

We used Big toy depot in otey mesa I think it was 150 a month for outside storage. We wanted to be able to get the boat 24/7 not all the storage places allowed that. Big Toy depot gives you a gate code and you can come and go anytime. They have a wash down where you can clean your boat.

Keep a small pair of bolt cutters on the boat with easy access. Make sure they don't get rusted up. Windy app. You can find tons of info on Bloddy Decks. Take a boter safety course. Eperb or PLD

I have some toriums that are around 20 yrs. Old they still work great. They've caught everything from Albacore to Wahoo never once did one fail in any way and cost me a fish.

Welcome to BD I'm not from your area but I trailer my boat from AZ to San Diego in May and keep it in storage there. Then i return every 3 to 4 weeks and fish for a few days. I get a slip at the Port of San Diego gest dock at the end of Shelter Island. Last year it was $1.00 per ft. Per night...

Any time of the year it can get sporty out there watch the weather reports. Download the windy app. It will give you some good info on sea and wind conditions.

Do some half day trips to get used to fishing with a bunch of people on a crowded boat.

Caught a 238 BFT on the Top Gun 80 on the kite. My wife got one at 200.8 also on the kite. We were on a 3.5 day trip. We fished for Yellowfin and Yellowtail the first 2 days then went to the back side of San Clemente for Bluefin.

Mono to floro I've always used a seagar knot. Braid to mono or floro I used to use a uni to uni but now I use the RP knot. There are other braid to mono knots that might be better but I don't know how to tie them.

Rough seas and wind makes it sporty See if you can handle that and not get sick without any pills/patch. Be thoughtful about what you eat or drink before getting on the boat. If you do get sick eat something. If you barf that up eat something. Eventually you will be able to keep it down. In...

Turn it into an artificial reef somewhere and have diving tours inside her. No upkeep needed. No lease needed.

San Quuntin we stay at Don Eddie's they can hook you up for fishing with whoever you want.

K&M will gladly pick you up at Don Eddie's but you can walk to the ramp if you want

Let me rephrase that. I personally don't know anyone who has encountered bed bugs on a sport boat. Myself included

In 25 years and over a hundred nights spent on sport boats I've never encountered bed bugs on any overnight or longer boat and I don't know anyone who has.

Stay at Don Eddie's Tony can hook you up with any of the fishing outfits there. It's next to the old mill and le$$ with better rooms. Jardines is a few miles away with nicer rooms but not on the water. March and April can be windy for days at a time. Mostly bottom fishing that time of...

Damn, I missed the boat.

My friends are always saying they want to come deep sea fishing with me someday. I usually stop trying to explain to them that it's not deep sea fishing just before their eyes glaze over and their heads implode. Whenever I ask any of them if they want join me on a trip they always have some...

We were there "once" for labor day

I make the trip from Prescott AZ 5 or 6 times a year. Originally from Los Angeles

Pangas are Mexicos most universally used boats. They're like pickup trucks on water. They're rough and rugged and not very pretty. Designed to do a job not for comfort or looks. Center consoles in the US are usually fishing boats. They can be very pretty but can't haul the same...

I was kayak fishing once in LA Jolla when I saw a shadow in the water out of the corner of my eye, that was huge. A 20ft basking shark swam out from under me. At first I thought it was a great white until it turned and I saw its opened mouth. For a moment there I thought I was gonna crap my...

$$$$?

Most of the 1.5 day trip Ive done, food was included. Beer and sodas and candy bars were extra. I'm gonna try going on the Polaris Supreme this season. Looks like they have a bunch of 1.5 and 3 day trips anyone else want to join me. Food is included

When I booked the trip I thought meals were included. The 3 of us shared one dinner. I ate the bird they ate the rest. Neither of us was very hungry. The burgers were very good. I've done a lot of trips on the PQ over the years, last time was 4 years ago for bluefin. I'll probably...

We use to call whitefish poor man's Yellowtail. I'd rather catch Yellowtail but I'd rather eat Whitefish. I had a great time even though the fishing wasn't so great except for the rockfish. My daughter even though she didn't fish at all had a great time too.

Go through Mexicali and take Mex 5 down it's a lot easier less traffic

At first launch your boat on weekdays when there's less traffic at the ramp. Don't get excited and forget the boat plug, put it in before you leave the house.

It's related to a unicorn I think

The world has flipped upside down BFT exploratory trip in February. What's next Albacore in June.

They'll arrive the day after you leave to go home. At least that's what always happens to me

So far the weather looks good for Saturday

Boat Ho list is your friend If you go out with someone show up early and stay late. Bring your wallet along with food and drinks. Oh ya make sure you have $$$ in your wallet. Bring a good attitude

That's right. I caught lots of Yellows and Dodos with jigmasters and squidders. Rod and reel combos. Turners specials, back in the day. Glad I don't have to do that anymore. I still have the reels and they still work. I think your salman setup will do just fine

Almost forgot, Welcome

Like someone else here said, go on a bunch of half day boats then jump on a 3/4 or overnight boat. You will find some other sober fisherman if your paying attention. I've been sober coming up on 23yrs in June. Fishing is now my addiction. My first few years I went on as many half day trip as I...

I just called the landing yeah the Pacific Queen canceled for this weekend cuz of wind. I was checking on the windy app and it shows less wind next weekend so hopefully we'll get to go

Drive out to the mouth of the bay and launch there. Across from there are some rocks. I paddle across and back swinging in a loop. There's Halibut there and some big ass Black Seabass. I hooked one once from a panga, broke me off.

My thoughts exactly I just wasn't able to say it so eloquently

San Quintin last September

My wife and daughter would rather be bottom fishing. I'm afraid my daughter might get bored chasing tuna and too small to catch one if we find them.

If we go looking for bluefin I won't complain. We'll be fishing in San Quintin middle of March for Bottom critters Win Win

Yes with my Wife and daughter. My wife caught the bluefin that's in my freezer.

Winds are supposed to be around 15mph in that area on the 27th according to The weather channel. Can't see that far ahead on the Windy app to see what the swell will be like

Unless you caught some yourself of course

If we're on the same trip and I catch some BFT I'll gladly give some to you

I'm bringing the same gear either way 20# through 100# the only things I'm bringing that I don't normally bring on Tuna trips are some heavy irons for Rock Cod down deep. I've got a freezer full of Bluefin but I wouldn't mind catching some. If I do I'll probably donate it. I paid for 3 spots...

A gray whale dives to the bottom, turns on its side, scoops the top inches of sediment into its mouth, and strains small animals from it, especially amphipods, small shrimp-like creatures that are the favorite food of gray whales in the Arctic.Mar 29, 2016 www.fisheries.noaa.gov › sentinels-...

Grey whales have always scraped their food off the bottom look it up.

Grey Whales don't eat salmon they feed on the bottom literally. They scoop up sediment and filter it through baleen. They might eat a salmon if one swam into it's mouth. What's different about these whales is they've learned how to target these shrimp at this location at high tide

The more confusing they make it, the more tickets they get to give out. It's all about the $$$ As far "Conservation" goes, they are more confused then we are.

2 hour drive is nothing I drive from AZ. Get my FMM at Mexicali east gate or Otey Mesa also get TIP there. Pay the fee for 180 days. The manifest needs to be dated for the day or days you are fishing the Nados and submitted on line can't remember the name the name off the top of my head I fish...

Button down the drags Before you drop your jig into structure

Got it thanks for the info

??

Anybody hear how the PQ did over the weekend

Almost every LR trip I've been on 5 days and longer stopped at San Martin island and Colonet on our way home. Stopped and got some Halibut and Calicos at San Martin and Reds and Lings at Colonet.

Auto pilot on Captain was slipping or forgot drain plug at home and had to beach it

I jus got some deadhead lures from Denis in three different sizes. I got some of the heavy ones for this trip. Most likely fishing Colonet area deep for Rockfish and lingcod. Hopefully some Yellowtail join the party too. Maybe a White Seabass

Ill be on that trip as well. I hope I'll get to see you catch your first yellowtail

All the welds on mine look and feel fine to me. I will post a report on a new thread after I use them

I was on a five day trip on the shogun 20 years ago. We were fishing for bluefin and albacore. During the night we were in a drift in 1200+ feet of water. I had brought a fresh frozen Humbolt squid and some glow sticks. I was deep dropping for swordfish just for the hell of it. I got a little...

Ive had regulars jump in front of me while lined up at the dock more than once. It bothers me while in line but once I'm on the boat I forget all about it cuz my focus is on having a good trip and catching fish. A couple of years ago on a 3.5 day my wife and I were first in line at the docks...

Jigs arrived way quicker than I expected Thanks Dennis I can't wait to use them on my 1.5 day trip on the Pacific Queen Feb 26 and then in San Quintin in March.

I just ordered a bunch

Decided to jump on the Pacific Queen at the end of February 1.5 day Friday the 26th 7pm to Sunday morning. We decided to go to San Quintin in March when my daughter is out of school for a week

We are going to be in SQ the middle of March for a few days Gonna have to order some more jigs from Dennis

Maybe they should allow one under 5lbs and the rest over 20 that way the baby killers will have more babies to kill in the future.

If the fishing gets too hard shell find something else to do. My wife will be there too she has been on 1.5 ,2.5 and 3.5 day trips she doesn't fish the whole time but she catches fish when she wants to. My daughter and her will do just fine.

PQ has nothing scheduled for March if they did I never would have started this thread. I've been on the PQ more times than I can count. It is my go to for 1.5 & 2.5 day trips. Trips sell out fast on it during tuna season for a reason. Seems a lot of the LR boats don't schedule anything for...

My thoughts exactly

I've been on tuns of overnight trips and a Shit load of 1.5, 2.5 day trips and longer ones too. I know what to expect and what she can handle. She's caught Halibut in Alaska yellowtail in Baja Her mother will be going too so when she gets tired of fishing she can just hang out. A 1.5 day trip...

I was just on their site didn't see anything in March on the schedule.

Its needs to be out of San Diego hopefully one of the Long Range boats

I saw that but my daughter doesn't get out of school for spring break until the first week of March Most of the LE boats have nothing scheduled for March

What ever boat we go on will have to have state rooms. I don't think she'd be ok with a bunk room. I've been on a few of the LR boats but can't find one that has anything going out in March for 1.5 days.

I'm looking for a family friendly 1.5 day trip in early March to take my daughter on. She is 10 she's been fishing Baja with me since she was old enough to hold a rod. But she's never been on an overnight boat. I promised her when she turned 10 I'd take her. I figured a 1.5 day fishing Colonet...

Nice WSB

I thought Juan would be in Gonzaga in January

Don Eddie's can hook you up with fishing Or you can try any of the local pangeros easy walk from Don Eddie's

I'll happily go with the 40# yellowtail

I recently bought some perfume and lotion for my wife, for Christmas. I got it online. Right after that I started getting perfume pop up adds on all of the social media sites. BD included. I just ignore it most of the time but I'm too lazy to do anything about it.

I have some Toriums that are pretty damn close to 20yrs they are bullet proof. They have caught more fish then all my other reels combined. And I have a shit load of reels. I retired my Toriums last year to loaner status. Replaced with a Lexa 400 and Penn fathoms 2lds all sizes.

Just drive down and you'll be fine. Follow your uncle down then drive back when ever you want. Check out Bajanomad's ask your question there.

https://gmauthority.com/blog/2020/12/golden-ray-cargo-ship-containing-chevy-tahoe-suvs-is-cut-up-and-recycled-video/

And I was thinking about selling my boat but Im not sure what it's worth Now I'm scared I'll get chewed up and spit out by all you guys. Maybe I'll just keep it and save myself the humiliation. Got to love BD I even learn stuff about proper sales presentation

Anyone remember the container ship the drive up on the beach in Ensenada about 10+ years ago. It was a really high tide and I think was during a storm. We stopped and took pictures on our way south.

I own a plumbing company and we have been busier than shit What's keeping us and the septic guys busy is old septic leach fields and damaged lines that could barely handle the usage before but can't handle any extra. I'm getting more work because people are home more and notice more problems...

That happened to me once hauling dump trailer with a load of dirt on the freeway. I ended up doing a complete 360 missed guard rails and the shoulder. It was early morning the closet vehicle was a Forrest service fire truck about a 1/8 mile behind me. He hit his lights to slow down traffic...

Religion, I don't think I would want to be a member of any organization that would have me as a member.

There will be plenty of rocks to fish from but usually I do best fishing from the beach next to rocks that jet out into deeper water. Cast a Kroc out along the edge and drag it back. I've caught some nice Cabrilla at or near High tide. Also caught Halibut this way.

I'm gonna add an inflatable Great White shark I'm not sure if it will be attacking the presents at the back or Rudolph up front

Operator error ? Mine works just fine on free mobile app. Been using it for a couple years now.

Who you calling Dipshit? Dipshit Happy Thanksgiving

Wow you got some nice Cabrilla that first one is huge. Those are some nice Wahoo too. Thanks for the report

WTF is Bank fishing are you talking about shore fishing off the rocks or beach. Rivers have banks oceans have beaches the sea has a shore. Oh and lakes have shores. Ok the ocean has banks: Gordo. Uncle Sam, Thetis,14 Mile, 9 mile, Cortez, Tanner, Hidden, Upper Hidden. There's so many more that...

If you have time cruze on down to La Bocana and fish the estuary

Perfect boat for Asuncion in December. BOLA in December can get windy real fast and dangerous in a small boat. Wish we we going down this year but all my money is going to building a guest house. Asuncion is awesome this time of year. The yellowtail fishing can be epic. We've stayed in the...

5 is paved all the way We stay at El Capitan I have a 19ft Center Console but anything bigger might not work. We've stayed at a few others but I can't remember the names. The El Capitan is cheep and you get what you pay for. We just stay for some sleep and leave early in the morning.

Drive down to Gonzaga and fish there IMO way better and closer fishing than San Felipe. Can get windy real fast this time of year and last for days. Keeping everyone off the water. The drive to Gonzaga is worth the trip.

Public dock on shelter island go to Port of San Diego website. We come out from Arizona a lot we launch at Shelter island ramp and stay at the Best Western yacht harbor hotel. There's upper deck parking and you can drop your trailer. Public docks have a 14 day limit if I remember correctly. 6...

Just pick the one that fits your schedule better or flip a coin or eeny meeny miny moe. Either way you can't lose.

Fucking Stan I've had some long and crazy conversations with Stan at Campo Serena

So who was bottom fishing on a Bluefin trip? And Why? Great trip you guys has for sure. Epic

I was on a 10 day and hooked into a possible cow had the fish on the surface about 20ft from the boat and accidentally hit the drag lever into freespool the line went full on bird's nest on the reel and ZingPowSnap went the line right at the bird nest. Damn near pulled the rod out of my hands.

I was just going to say that

I have a 19ft Bayrunner that I pulled with my Tacoma 4x4 after 10 trips to SD and a few to Baja I decided to get a bigger truck. Pulling my boat with the Tacoma I got between 6 & 8 mpg depending on speed. Pulling it with my Tundra I get 8-12. That being said Stopping is more important than MPGs.

Poor man's yellowtail is what we used to call them A big one will put up a good fight but not for as long as a yellow and yellowtail go for structure and kelp. I've never been rocked by a whitefish. Make good tacos but king of bland otherwise. That being said Nice catch on the BFT and all the...

In SoCal nowadays a unicorn might be an Albacore a WSB a ghost. NoCal stole the Albies now they are stealing the WSB What's next? We'll trade you for some Salmon. What else ya got?

Outstanding

What i want to know is was it caught on stand-up gear or was the rod in a rod holder the whole time. Like Wicked Tuna. Either way it's a bad ass fish for SoCal waters

👎

MegaCow

That's some scary and dangerous shit, could cause an accident maybe at 60mph on the freeway and kill someone. Nobody would ever know what really happened.

All the paddys are straight offshore and straight over the bottom. I guarantee it 100%

Fantasy island don't you see the plane Ok maybe it's Clipperton

In 2001 or 2002 can't remember for sure but we were off of Topanga fishing halibut when we saw a huge school of bluefin moving fast jumping out of the water. We tried to get ahead of them but they would sink out. Then pop up a 1/4 mile away and we chased them down only to have them sink out...

Wow I was looking at the Shogun's not only website last night to book a future trip. Pretty scary shit just think if it happened while they were at sea. Not only endangering their own lives what if there's an emergency and 4 of the crew are unable to help. Thank God they were at the dock.

I got mine same day at Otey Mesa border crossing. Took longer to get back across then it took to get it.

like mother like daughter

Check out the New LoAnn or the Pacific Queen. They both do overnight and 1.5- 2.5 day trips. IMO the two best boats in SD for 3 days or less.

Daughters firs Red The other one I caught

Caught this toad in San Quintin labor day weekend. Got two this size and a Cowcod that was even bigger. Along with other bottom critters.

Estero Coyote or La Bocana

Labor day we got to Tecate at 2:30pm ended up going to Mexicali

15 hours, Who's driving?

Your welcome Maybe we'll see you in Bay of LA next year or maybe we'll try to hook up with you in Gonzaga.

142lbs of mussels when the limit is 10lbs. They should be arrested, not just get a citation. Who needs 142lbs of mussels. Maybe they are selling them to restaurants.

Where is this

Did it last with an expired passport card last October with no problems. A few weeks ago my wife's mother didn't have hers because she had to send it in with her renewal application. When I pulled up to the border guard coming back into the US. I told him that and handed him her AZ ID card. He...

That's crazy. I've only seen a handful of dead sea lions in my entire life. Is it localized to just your area or is it more widespread

Palomar, Sd-jam and RP and or FG all the bases covered

You can get it online but you still have to stop at the immigration office anyway. No point getting it online. Waste of time IMOP.

Yes you do but you probably could get there without one. We cross at Mexicali east gate the immigration office is on the right as soon as you cross the border. If you cross at west gate it's a little harder to find but if you ask one of the border guards they will show you. West gate has been...

One day up in Santa Cruz my brother and I and one of his friends rented a skiff from the pier. A 14ft wooden skiff with a 9.9hp motor. We lhad done this many times. We were supposed to stay 1/2 mile off shore and within sight of the pier. We knew the good fishing was near shore by kelp beds. We...

Used some of your deadhead lures but mostly live bait Luv those lures

I had my 9 yr old daughter so we mostly bottom fished. She did catch a small yellowtail on the first day we also caught some huge Reds a cow cod and some lings

Fishing was fantastic but foggy most of the day both days out on the water

It is shorter to take toll road. We just like going that way. Google maps showed it as somewhere around 100km farther taking the 5 down to the 3 above San Felipe. We wanted to avoid Tecate. Either way you still have to go through Ensenada.

When's the full video coming out? The teaser is bad ass

Wow nice fish report and a tip to boot Thanks can't wait to try the life jacket

We crossed at Mexicali east gate Friday morning around 9 and stopped to get our tourist visas My wife's mother did not have her passport because she sent it in with her renewal application way back in February. So we had her stay in the car while the three of us went in to the immigration office...

It is a cow cod it is legal in Mex. We only caught one. It will not go to waste, at least not until after I eat it. 😆

Wife caught a nice Red

Day 2 This time my wife also came with us. After making bait we headed to San Martin island to try for some Halibut with no luck. Then headed to Ben's rock and trolled around for a bit for no love there. Eventually we ended back at the 240 and found some big reds

Headed to San Quintin for labor day to do some fishing with Capt. Juan. We crossed the border at Mexicali Friday morning. Stopped to get our tourist cards at the immigration office. It was business as usual except for masks. Took 15 minutes. My wife's mother didn't have her passport because she...

Drove down yesterday no problems saw no covid check points just the usual military check points. Crossed at Mexicali. Stopped and got our tourist visas at the immigration office. They never asked us what we were doing in Mexico.

Wow what a trip you guys had, freakin awesome

Sounds like the guy was trying to keep you from catching fish on purpose. What a douchebag.

Nice

Get an F650 and stop worrying about it

You might get a couple sushi rolls out of that.

Nice

Nice Hali can't wait to get back down there

I once lived in a neighborhood where tweekers lived nearby they kept stealing my car battery. I baught a new one and they stole it that night. After that I bought a bunch of razor blades and duck taped them under the hood around the edges and around the battery. The next day I found a trail of...

Try asking on BajaNomad forum

You live a charmed life Shari. Sorry Jen, Bella and I won't be able to make it down there this year. Maybe next year. Love seeing the photos we miss you and your lovely little town and the spectacular fishing.

People who have caught their limit should be hooking and handing off. Or at least giving their extra fish away to those who are struggling.

Boat Ho list

What kind of fishing have you done Hop on some overnighters and or longer trips go as often as you can. Post some reports and make some new friends. Meanwhile get you name out there on the Boat Ho list. Show up early with your wallet and food/ drinks. Stay and clean the boat after.

We're gonna try for September 4th White Seabass is our goal

Go on Bajanomad forum

What about bringing a boat down

You're killing me

Caught a bunch of small bonito off the beach right in from of the beach house last time we were there Oct2019 my daughter has the second week of October off of school every year. Took my new boat down last year and took Juan out fishing.

Nice White seabass, my favorite We usually go down in October as well We stay with Shari or camp at Shari's campground. Fished with Juan more times than I can count. One of the fishiest guys I have ever fished with. This year we are only going as far as San Quintin

Wet line Practice Practice Practice Start with heavier weight. Then go lighter and lighter If you're gonna be fishing sportboats practice over hand more than sidearm Roll reel to the side during casting

Where in Baja

Congrats on the trifecta I don't need pictures I know what tuna and yellowtail look like. I've seen pictures before 🐟

Nice fish

Nice fish to end the day got to get your cake and eat it too

We got a bleeder

I'm left handed I cast over my left shoulder and crank with my right hand. Don't have to switch hands after casting. I shoot a rifle right handed shoot pool right handed, bow right handed. Left handed crank makes no sense to me. I fish spinners upside down sometimes

Wow nice ride for sure

Yeah I'm trying to work it out with the family Any White seabass being caught lately How about tuna

Thinking of heading to San Quintin in a few weeks but my daughter's school starts August 3rd. She'll need a good wifi connection on weekdays for school.

A few weeks ago I couldn't get my auto pilot to work. The screen said something like auto pilot computer not found. I took it to the guy who installed it but was strapped for time and left without getting it fixed. Fished La Jolla the next day and never tried to use it. The following day I...

At least you know your bait was on the bottom

And parking is free at BWYH

Go on the port of San Diego website I always stay at Best Western yacht harbor hotel and get a slip at the public dock it's next to harbor patrol dock. At the end of shelter island. $1 per ft. Right now space is limited due to covid social distancing. Best Western will let you drop your trailer...

The looks on their faces are priceless

I should be going again mid August what boat do you have. Towing mine I get 1/2 the gas mileage as I normally get. Costs me around $180 in gas each way. Storage was around $160 a month. $160 + gas each way not towing the boat.

Too funny

Last summer I kept my boat at Big toy depot in Chula Vista paid month to month thought it would save me on gas not having to tow my boat 2 times a month to SD but it worked out about the same either way and I couldn't take the boat to the lakes around home on the weekends

I pay $1 a foot for slip at the port of San Diego public dock $19 a night I drive from Prescott AZ. And go through Yuma every time I go

I stay at the Best Western yacht harbor hotel when I'm in town. They let me park my empty trailer unhitched free parking. I put my boat in a slip and drop my trailer in the parking lot. The day I check out I retrieve my boat and drive home. EzyPzy.

I escaped to AZ. 14 yrs ago. Before I left, Montana was one of my choices. I decided I wanted to be within a days drive from San Diego and Baja so I ended up here. Been to Montana a few times and just loved it. You don't have to leave BD cause your moving out of California. Safe travels

I was in Dana landing tackle shop a few weeks ago buying gear for the big bluefin when some guy came in and asked if they sold worms. The kid working said " you mean like night crawlers" and the guy says yeah.

I'm looking for the exact same thing for my Bayrunner

Some SD boats drift better, fishing wise, than others in a stiff wind. The Pacific Queen is one of them. The New Lo An is a good one too. It's part of the reason they have a higher catch count most of the time. Not to mention the Captains and Crew are some fishy MFs.

What he said

Do a 5 day in August or September and maybe early October. November and December is 7-10+ time of the year

Nice pics Epic BOLA fishing for sure Maybe we'll see you in San Quintin in September Hopefully Covid doesn't screw that up.

Very nice

Some people are making the trip already but some have been turned around. Aug. 28th is awhile away anything could happen between now and then

Had a Shimano 2speed do that to me while fishing a flat fall last year thank God I wasn't hooked up and I had a backup Nice job on the other fish

California halibut can have eyes on right or left side

What boat are you going out on

Right on, nice catch

Nice fish

Ice house is right down the street from 5 Star they sell dry ice. I bring my fish home to Prescott Arizona and it will be more frozen than when I left SD

Don't forget a pair of bolt cutters, big enough to cut through what ever size hooks you might be using. Definitely a PLB

Happy birthday what a great trip you had

Nice job thank for the report

16 shots at those fish sounds way more fun than catching 6

Way to end a trip. We all dream about that fish, as the trip is winding down.

I'll be back in August to try again

It was absolutely flat calm out there most of the day. No wind and no swell to speak of.

Met up with Exodus aka Jason at 430am @ shelter island launch ramp. Grabbed ice and loaded his gear on the boat. Got in line at the bait dock and got the worst bait I've seen in a while. Headed to the corner checking Paddy's along the way for nada. About 4 mile short we found a huge paddy...

Just fixed my phone

Maybe I'll see you out there Friday

Yes I do

Bump last minute

In Do you want to go fishing tomorrow

After I bought my boat I spent another $8000 on electronics and stuff. Paid cash for everything. Glad I didn't finance.

We usually stay at the Villa Vita my wife and daughter need a pool while I'm out fishing

The guy sitting in the boat has no clue

Maybe we'll see you out there. Good luck

Thanks

200+ ft but I'm usually not looking any deeper than 250. I'll check it out on Thursday and report back. I'm still learning the unit. I'm sure there's others here that have theirs dialed in and can give better feedback.

Thanks for the Intel that's the same area I plan on fishing this Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We'll see what happens

Maybe it's the same guy dropping boats all over the place

I like to go to previously know #s "auto pilot" then when I start getting close to the area I start trolling. If there are other boats in the area I try to stay outside of them if I start drifting too close I move. That's why I mainly fish weekdays. Less boat traffic. It's more fun finding my...

Sinrad go9 with Total scan transducer I've had it for a year and a half. I'm still learning all it's functions but starting to get it dialed in.

That must be the asymptomatic ones we keep, sort of hearing about

Is that some kind of protest. Like taking the tires off your car to block the roadway.:beerbang:

It's worth the drive to San Quintin but I don't think you can get down there right now

Saw it on Fisherman's landing website. That's one huge fish for sure.

Nice

Thanks I'll let you know

My buddy put a full kill bag in the trunk of his Lexus, never got the smell out. When the car sat in the sun for any length of time it stunk way worse. He eventually sold it for less than it was worth. That being said I keep both an ice chest and a kill bag on the boat. I take my fish to Five...

Wow!! What a roll you guys are on. Showing the rest of us how it's done.

You can't possibly believe that in a crowd that size masks are doing anything other than hiding their faces. Why do you think that a majority of the newer cases are people under 30yrs old.

One time is was in Baja about 400 miles south of the border in Asuncion, I saw some guys launching a pontoon boat to go fish for yellows I talked to them later that day. They caught a few yellows and some big Calico's

All caps and no punctuation makes it sound like we're being yelled at, all in one breath.

Damn The Five Star video was way cool. Nice fish what was the gear used to catch that beast

Nice job I've caught Albie's, Yellowfin, skippies and yellowtail on ceder plugs but never Bluefin even though I try every time I'm out. Just never got one on a ceder plug in 20+ years. Gonna try it again next week

Bringing my boat to San Diego on the 8th gonna fish the 9th,10th & 11th I have room for 1 person. Fishing for Tuna

Were they BFT or YFT on the ceder plug or both

reservations.portofsandiego.org

I stay at Best Western yacht harbor hotel right across from fisherman's landing in Point Loma I launch at Shelter Island and rent a slip at the public docks next to Harbor patrol costs $19 a night for 19ft boat. The hotel has parking for your empty or loaded trailer at no extra charge. I launch...

Nice video Gaffed the last one right in the eye. Where were you guys fishing

Can't open any of the attachments But great report

Now I get it I caught a 70lbr on a torium 20 once damn near spoiled me took me over an hour also. I retired all my toriums to the loaner rig dept. bought Penn fathom 2 speeds to replace them.

Wow that sucks Big-Time

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong

I've been having the same issues. Everytime I try to download the template I get the example one with boat name and passenger names already on it can't find a blank one anywhere

You never explained why your buddy was an A$$hole

Yeah that's what I've been doing but having a hard time hooking up with anyone to to go out with me. I think I'll just get a better hand held the one I got is crap.

When there's enough helium in the atmosphere the Albacore's voices will sound funny and you can hear-em coming.

Nice job You got 4 of the 16 yellows, good for you

I have a 2016 same boat you are correct on running down swell. If you are not careful the bow digs in at the bottom of the trough. I trim the bow up and it's good to go. I took mine down to the 371 a few weeks ago from Point Loma hung around that area for 6 hours then back to Point Loma used 13...

That's what I'm talking about.

It's on the list to fix. A whole new version of the software is coming soon and a lot of that stuff is fixed so we are kinda waiting instead of custom building... Oh good I can't wait to see everyone posting on 10yr old threads again. lol

That is exactly the info I was looking for I thought it might be a bad idea for those very reasons. I think I'll stick with a handheld spot light.

Yes

Didn't know there was an advanced search function good to know I was just doing a search and posts from 2010 came up first even though the relevance was exactly the same

I'm thinking about putting an led light on my ttop facing forward. I have a radar but want to be able to see up close in front of me when I'm heading out in the dark any suggestions?

I like using white iron with red then pin fresh dead squid on it.

Skin is like sandpaper the kind you put on an electric belt sander

What I wanna know is when can I tow my boat down there

Just White Seabass being White Seabass they call them ghosts for a reason

What he said

Google is your friend or you can get one in San Felipe I've done that too or fisherman's landing or Squidco in San Diego https://www.sportfishingbcs.gob.mx It's a Baja sur website but the license is good for all Mexican waters

Got mine at east gate a few years ago had to drive around the block to get it. After you go through secondary and are back on the road turn right at the first street then turn right again at the first street and go one or two blocks it will be on the south east corner. If you need copies of your...

Mex fishing license online ezypzy

Congrats to your wife on a nice BFT I've fished the PQ many times its my all time favorite for 1.5 and 2.5 day trips I've caught so many fish on that boat. It is one of the fishiest boats in SD for sure.

I remember the 1st time I fished on the Shogun I gained at least 10lbs on a five day and slayed the Albie's and bluefin

Love the food porn Looks like you guys had a nice trip congrats on the Wahoo

Did you get any

Latest report they got to the zone and saw lots of fish but couldn't get them to bite. They still have a full day today left to fish BFT

Now if they find the Bluefin That would be an amazing way to end a long range trip. Can't wait to hear the report.

Can't wait to see the videos

I'm curious about the kite also

Were you able to see how big they were

The sliding sinker is getting in the way of the circle hook not letting it do what it is designed to do

Where's the pics

I could watch that all day I need that for my screen saver.

Don't be afraid to ask the deckhands for help they are there to help you. Ask questions and show interest in what they are saying and doing learn how to get a great bait and pin it on without killing it then walk to the correct side of the boat and get it out and away from the boat without...

Penn fathom 40 if you look around you should be able to find one around that price range I have a 15kg I'll let go for $150 + shipping

Make some more for sure

Looks like my Baja Catch well used and still relevant in most cases

Congrats I once won a kayak tournament under similar circumstances about 18 years ago no good way to do video back then. You did a really good job on the video.

What about bikini bottoms Squidward

I keep an extra and anyone on the boat with me knows where it's at.

Will it over a t top with a radar on it I'm looking for one too

Pigs on the wing

Just go

Just paid for one of them and will be picking it up next time I'm in California gonna put a Tiagra 30Wlrsa on it. It has 135 spectra can't remember brand and 100lb mono top shot I had Cal go through it the beginning of last season and never got to use it last year.

I also want as much detail as possible for what did and didn't work. Rod reel, line size, knots or crimps, length of leader, hook size, swivel size, bait size, sinker rig, flat fall, flylined deans or Macs and anything else that might help

Next it will be do any have hot tubs How about swim up bars If you want to go on a cruise then go on a cruise I choose to go fishing

I have 2 30s and a 20 I've caught a 70lb bluefin and tuns of other tuna, wahoo, yellowfin yellows Dorado. They are almost 20yrs old and still working. had them serviced at the end of last season and couldn't believe how good of a condition they were in. I am retiring them to guests only for...

I'd love to see something like that on video that would be a blast to watch. I had a bluefin on fishing solo a couple of weeks ago and I panicked.

We were going to go down at the end of June but now it's mid July it's killing me putting it off again Glad to hear someone made it down and caught some fish

What are slip fee's

Wow sounds like you are lucky to be alive

Nice job I admire your never give up attitude How did you paralyze your arm if you don't mind me asking

Has anyone landed one of these big Bluefin fishing solo My last time out I went solo and was scared to death thinking about what is do if I got one to the boat.

Wow Best Post Award right there Thanks for showing us how it's done

How do you rig the whole kite rod from top shot to hook including all connections and swivels float/marker sinker

I'm sure this has already been asked here before. How do you guys rig your leaders for big bluefin tuna from swivel to hook/s Crimps/ knots/ beads/ swivels line test and length. And anything else you use like double troubles Diagrams would be great. thanks

Drive to Ensenada you'll be closer to the fishing grounds if you're fishing for Tuna

I know but got to start sometime I've been in sport boats and caught a 238# I saw how hard it was for 3 experienced crew to get everything out. I can't imagine doing it solo. Hopefully next time I'm in SD I can find a Boat Ho that has experience kite fishing. In the meantime I can practice at...

I'll let you know when I get back to SD

I think that even after they open the border that it will still be a little sketchy to go to certain areas in Baja. Especially if some locals get sick shortly after tourists start arriving. Even if it's unrelated. Some might not be so welcoming at first.

Crossed last October with my daughter and I's passports expired it was no problem then. Now with the covid 19 crarp I wouldn't try it

And from the beach to boot Yeah buddy

I accidentally posted this in the wrong place so if you read it already "My Bad" I left at 430 from Shelter island public dock where I rented a slip for the week. headed to the bait dock and got in line. It took about 1/2hr to got bait. A little before 5am I was on my way. It was a lot bumpier...

What speed were you trolling the ceder plug

Oops sorry I meant to post this in the reports section how do I move it

Absolutely outstanding I'm going to add a kite to my arsenal for next trip to SD

I left at 430 from Shelter island public dock where I rented a slip for the week. headed to the bait dock and got in line. It took about 1/2hr to got bait. A little before 5am I was on my way. It was a lot bumpier then I expected but doable. I stayed around 10-12kts and arrived at the 371 around...

Before I went to San Diego I brought my boat in for some minor repairs one was to put some backing under the deck to remount the t-top. They had to remove the console. They had to disconnect most of the electrical. Somehow they missed something when they hooked it all back up. They said they...

Hope to see you out there

I'm heading down to the 371 area tomorrow looking for somebody that wants to go fishing I got room for one person. I could really use some helpI've done it by myself a bunch of times but would really rather have somebody with me I have all the gear but if you want to bring along some of your own...

Now my auto pilot is not working but I can get by without it for the time being. I don't really need it just like to have it

Yes plumbing in the raw water wash down pump

Left out or shelter island around 7am headed to La Jolla. It was a little bumpy but not to bad. It was the first time I've taken my boat there. Fishing was slow for most of the morning with a calico cot every now and then but nothing worth keeping. There were five other boaters out there all...

Holy super cow What a beast lucky you had someone with you

Anyone out there that knows La Jolla or Point Loma kelp areas want to go fishing Tuesday

I've been looking at the app but I'm still trying to figure it out. I just started playing around with it. I'm not sure of all the different layers and can't make sense of some of it. From what I can tell it's going to be shitty out for the next few days offshore Mexican waters. So I'm thinking...

Gill & gut that SOB

I'll be in SD on Monday gonna go check it out on Wednesday Thanks for the info

We are loaded up and ready to go I have a stop in Costa Mesa/ Newport for a few days to get some things fixed on the boat. New wash down pump and some minor electric stuff. Car charger adapters don't work. Last time out we were out 12 hours and our phones died on our way in and found out the...

Congrats on the Bluefin what's the approx distance from Point Loma to those #s

That's what I'm talking about

Even though I have my own boat I still do a couple of 2.5 or 3.5 day trip every year. My wife comes with me. I have to pay for two people every time. When my daughter turns 10 I'll have to take her on an overnight trip and pay for three. Eventually she'll be going on the 2.5 and 3.5 day trips...

I'm always looking for Ho's when I go to San Diego

Nice work on the local bass

The people that know how to fish on crowded boats are the one not getting caught up in the tangles. that skill set applies on limited load trip as well just cuz there's less people doesn't mean there won't be any "That Guys" on the boat. When the fish are biting in the stern all 30 people will...

Different county different rules different bureaucrats

Costs me about $2000 to bring my boat to SD including hotel, slip fees, gas, food, bait and tackle for 5 days that's $400 a day

Do you have Mex fishing license

Nice catch with White seabass as a bonus

Maybe the professor should start with his/herself first

You have to eat barracuda the same day you catch it or throw it away. They only time I've ever kept cuda was on a sport boat. I won't let those slimy ass fish on my boat

We've decided to wait until June 1st to the 6th to avoid all the memorial day madness. I'll be fishing the 2nd----5th

Wish I could drive to Ensenada and launch there. My boat doesn't have the range to make it from SD and back. I'd love to put one of those bigger models on my boat.

I like using milk with cuda and some other white meat fish it takes away some of the fishyness

How far were you from the hidden bank

Wow 2 days in a row someone posts a great report and includes the location Now I'm sure the world is upside down. Keep it up guys I'll be there soon hopefully they come up the line a little closer but not too much closer

Where do they fish on a 3/4 day out of Santa Barbara and what are they targeting Looks like the Coral Sea is also going out for 3/4 day trips

Hopefully someone on BD will use those numbers and find them and then post a report. Good on you for sharing Much respect

I know they're open for essential travel I was talking about tourist

Been fishing for tuna since 1999 caught lots of bluefin but never tried to fish for the big ones until a couple years ago. I took my wife with me on her second only tuna trip she got one @ 200.8 and I got one @ 238

Just read that US / Can/ Mex borders to remain closed until 6/22/20 with a review every 30 days We were going down to San Quintin next week but that won't happen. We also had plans for BOLA 2nd week of June now that won't happen either "SUCKS ASS".

Has anyone on BD been stopped and asked for ID with 2 people from different addresses on the boat? What happened did you get a ticket? Did they make you turn around and go back to the dock? So far I've only heard second or even third hand stories.

Nice WSB

What do think will happen memorial day weekend

So what's the word on the beaches

Ill let ya know before I get to SD gonna fish Wednesday Thursday Friday and Saturday fishing La Jolla on Wednesday gonna have to start pretty early because of long lines at bait barge. We'll see

We are coming into SD on Tuesday the 26th with my wife and 9yr old daughter. While I'm out fishing they don't want to be stuck in the hotel room are any of the beaches gonna be open where they can swim. I'm gonna fish the Coronado's one of those days and maybe La Jolla one day and offshore two...

So almost to Tanner or Cortez banks that means you have to drive past all the bluefin and yellowtail and yellowfin for a chance at finding Albacore. On a party boat I'd chance it. But not on my own boat.

How far is the real 267 from Point Loma

At least I got the bilge all cleaned out

What he said

Yeah I've thought of that also just haven't been able to figure out how to check it while on your way but that's my next guess

No it's a transom mount

I filled the boat with water up to the deck line not one drop Now I'm thinking it's the plumbing

The boat is Welded not riveted the boat has only 250 hours on it If I'm just drifting for a few hours with 3 of us and our gear it's not leaking It still might be the plumbing but haven't found anything and can't tell if it's the hull or the plumbing when it's in the water. I'm gonna put the...

Nothing comes over the transom when underway I have thought about it being residual water from washing the boat but I thoroughly drain the boat when I get home and it also drains out when I'm on the road for 7 hours each way. Last time I took it to San Diego I went out to the 43 and back only...

it's only a 3-year-old boat that hasn't been used much and it doesn't leak when it's sitting in a slip overnight not a drop

#1 The screws that hole the t top to the deck keep popping out. Not all of them but more than I'm ok with. I have a 2016 Klamath Bayrunner 19ft The holes where the screws go are stripped out What is the best way to fix this #2 boat has a very small leak somewhere I was thinking about...

Should have stood it up and taken a picture of it with a shotgun in the other hand

That is way too funny

You could always use that Yellow after you filet of course

Missed it by "that much"

Was hoping to go down last week of May now we're looking at the last week of June

Five miles out of the harbor all 14 of us ultra limited loaders will rip off our masks just to see who the hell we are fishing with. It's hard to judge people's character when everyone's wearing masks that cover more than half their faces. On the ocean where anything can happen I want to know...

What speed do you lose bottom

Nice fish How'd you lose the other 2 fish

It probably hitched a ride on someone's boat out of New Port knowing no one was gonna bother him

If you are afraid of getting sick stay home and stop making the rest of us live by rules based on your fear. If everyone who was afraid stayed home and made no contact with the rest of us they could not get sick.

A lot of people will be suing the government when this is over

That's what I did after the first time I forget the plug now I use the sticker next to my ignition switch after the trailer method failed me and my wife made me put the sticker on there.

I put a sticker on the console next to the ignition switch so I won't forget it again I also keep 2 or 3 extras on the boat in case I get to the launch ramp and someone has left theirs at home

Where are you in AZ I live in Prescott I make 5-6 trips a year to San Diego I would love to hook up with others that want to join me or vice versa

I forgot to mention the plug it's easy to forget I hate to admit it but I've forgotten it twice. Luckily for me I can reach over the transom and put it in but it scared the crap out of me. The fact that I've done it twice only shows how stupid I am.

Quality problems right there It could be worse you could be stuck in AZ having to go to work and unclog toilets. Love those little sanddabs

Next time just say you caught them straight offshore straight over the bottom

I've been going out on other people's boats for years but the first time I went off shore in my own boat I was a little nervous. Thank God for BD There was a thread with a list of everything you should have with you on the boat I can't seem to find it maybe someone else knows where it is. I...

Go past Puertocitos and go to Gonzaga its way nicer and prettier the best part of Mex5 is after Puertocitos Check out Baja Nomads forums

All is not lost

I'm not holding my breath but I hope that's true

Don't mind phuk yourself into being seasick Don't eat a bunch of greasy food the night before or the morning of your trip Don't drink too much the night before If you do get seasick eat something keep eating no matter how many times you puke until you can keep it down. Drink lots of water...

When are people going to rise up and put an end to the tyranny

I talk to the fish until they get tired of it and lash out at my bait.

Abu Garcia Revo Toro beast put 50lb braid minimum then use what ever size mono you want I've used mine for Calicos and yellowtail I've even caught bluefin with it. It's the rod that's gonna make the difference You can fish 40 or 10lb on the same reel Not so much on the same rod though.

If you have to ask you don't need to know

It's gonna be a shit show for the first few weeks when they do open the ramps I hope someone on BD goes down to Shelter island and videos the madness for us all to enjoy. I can't wait

Speed up a little that will keep them awake

238 Top gun 80 August 2018 wife got one at 200.8 same trip

I'm in AZ but I've been fishing in Baja 4-5 times a year for a long time I wanted a boat I could launch from shore or drive up on the beach and not worry about scratching the gel coat I really like the super pangas but I was unable to find a good one at the time. What I'm really glad about is I...

I was considering a panga when I was looking for my 1st boat having fished in Baja for years. I was looking for good gas mileage and towable with a Tacoma. I was looking at new boats. People on BD convinced me to buy used for my 1st boat. I started to look at aluminum boats for the same reasons...

Just think about how f-ing big those Bluefin are going to be next year because they didn't get caught this year

Yeah I'm not sure exactly where it is and don't want to start pulling up the deck if it's not feasible to put another gas tank below was hoping someone on here had done it or tried to on a 19ft Bayrunner

I was told by the dealer that it was on the starboard side forward of the center console I could be wrong that's where the gas receiver is

It's a Bayrunner Baja center console what good would pictures do unless I had the deck removed it's a 2016 I have no reason to pull up the deck until I know if it can be done or not. The stock fuel tank is under deck on starboard side north of the center console. I have no idea what space I...

#1 I posted this in another forum but got no replies so I'm trying it here Thanks I have a 2016 Klamath Bayrunner 19ft it has a 20 gal gas tank and I also have a 12 gal tank that sits on the deck near the stern. I want to install another 20 gal tank below deck and get rid of the 12 gal that's...
