We recently bought a house in Los Barriles, Baja Sur Mexico. Our first long visit to it for a couple of weeks to get it ready for our move down this October. The Sea of Cortez is near out our front door and a friendly neighbor invited me out to try for Sailfish or Marlin, which ever occurred first. (Marlin is catch and release) No luck this go-round but next time we'll try for Dorado. I need some seafood for dinner.

I've spent quite some time there, there are great MTB trails as well.
It's windy.

Let those billfish go, it's a cult-like thing now.

Plus, plenty of Dorado, Roosterfish, yellowtail, tunas……..!

I'll be in Baja in October, but much farther north.

Nice brown!
What a cool memory - wish I had a pic of my first fish.

Do you ever work for a living Trout Slayer? Little Colorado? I read where the Gov is doing some stocking to keep up the Apache supplies. Consider yourself blessed my friend, probably < 1 % of the US fisherman population will ever even lay eyes on one of those buggers, let alone catch one. Me included, unless'ins I drop in on you.

Oh yeah, I was very quickly made aware of releasing all billfish. There's a very strong eco movement in Baja which I'm glad to see. Marine parks and sanctuaries are all around. Time to dust off my scuba gear.

I work, or I play.
The rarest trout I have caught and it was a amzing, there were tons of them, was the Baja California endemic rainbow, the San Pedro Martir Trout: Mexican native trout - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Oncorhynchus mykiss nelsoni)

I only have pictures as slides......

So Trout Slayer, where did you shoot that Apache? And what do those little buggers bite on this time of the year? Inquiring minds gots to know.

A little spot right between the Fort Apache Reservation & the NM border…..

I since have looked at your Blog. Looks like a beautiful little stream. Thanks Mr. Steve.

We caught the bass. The rain caught us.

Felt like the "We're gonna need a bigger boat" quote today.
Waded >1/2 mile onto a low tide sandbar at Jekyll Island (GA) with my spinning rod , 10 lbs filament + braid, and gulp artificial shrimps. 3th cast landed a small stingray, 10 th cast I was in for the ride. Fish took me all the way back to the beach, and for the next 1/1/2 hour just did whatever he/she wanted to. On two occaisions I got close and was able to see that there was a stingray tail with my hook in place. After that time the fish was still running through my spool when finally the knot between fluor carbon and braid snapped. Had to lay flat on my back to get my back in shape again.
Wish I only could have seen the fish once...
Also caught my first ever sea trout (2) in the days before on spoon and gulp. No idea why that took 20 years of trying.

Dang man, looks like a great trip! How does Osa do with the kayaks? Does she pretty much stay on the boat or will she jump off for a swim here and there? Or just fall off?

She has been kayaking since 13 weeks - just ask her "Boating?" or "Fish?"

She was attacking the shit out of those yellowtails, which were a good 1/3rd longer then her, it was hilarious!

She stays on until you tell her to launch, she loves running the beaches, you just say "GO, GO!"

She only falls off once in awhile, when she falls asleep.

The white stuff is grip tape for bathtubs, it helps allot!

Forgot to share this with everyone. Daughter caught the only two walleye during our trip to NM last month. A 21" and this 27" hog was the highlight of the fishing portion of the tripl2015 MN eye.jpg
