Vamos a la playa

Getting pretty excited. Packing up to start heading down to Baja on Wednesday. What was originally planned as a quick fly in and out of Loreto has morphed into a 2 1/2 week meandering road trip with 5 days trying for striped marlin on the fly.

Packing an 14wt, two 12 wts, two 10 wts. Three reels. Seven lines. A lot of flies...though I'm not confident I have the right ones. We're going to be smarter this time and bring tying stuff.

Great report, Doug, thanks for sharing! A 14 weight!

Hell. Yeah!

Actually, we mostly used 12 wts. And an Abel Super 12 until I broke the fly line.

Steve, you would love it. Dolphins, turtles, whales, sea lions, seals and birds everywhere.

At least it wasn't the backing on that reel that failed: man - great report!!
