    1.5 day tuna option

    Place in Ilwaco is offering 1.5 day tuna trips. Would mean a lot of fishing time probably. Legendz Sportfishing. Interesting option. Wonder if they would be fly friendly?

    Reliefband - Does it work?

    I used the Reliefband twice. First time it worked great, no feelings of sea sickness. Second time the rollers were bigger, felt kind of sea sick, but not bad. Did have a bit of the feeling of still being on a boat for a couple hours afterwards. Upshot for me is that probably for mellow seas...

    Central OR Guides

    That's been something I've wanted to try for awhile. But no boat also.

    Vamos a la playa

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

    Vamos a la playa

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

    Our First Baja Road Trip. Or, I wish that I knew what I know now when I was (three weeks) younger

    One thing we found with the roosters last summer. When there was bait being thrown, flies with some flash seemed to work better than flies with no flash. It goes against conventional wisdom, but that was our experience. Something to think about if you tie more flies.

    Vamos a la playa

    Part 3 For day three of fishing, we again headed out about 7am. There was fog in the bay, but not to bad. On the way out, the guide was saying that he'd never had a day like yesterday here. If today was the same, the next day we'd go 30 miles south to the Impossible Banks. The Impossible Banks...

    Vamos a la playa

    Part Two The night before, the guide had told us we didn't need to get going early for this fishery, and we'd head out at 8. We were up pretty early anyways and pumped to go. From the village we were at, most of the boats going out carried snorkelers that would jump in next to the bait balls...

    Vamos a la playa

    Ok, finally the trip report. Got home last night. Warning - long and the first part is NFR. So, sometime last winter my kind of crazy fly fishing friend called and said he was planning two fishing trips down to Baja next year, did I want in? One was for roosters in the summer and one was for...

    Vamos a la playa

    I'm still on the first part of the trip, hanging out at my friend's place in Los Alamos, NM. We're going to the Coug game against New Mexico in Albuquerque Saturday night. Family flies home Sunday morning and we start driving down to Mexico. Actual fishing starts, if all goes to plan, on...

    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...

    Reliefband - Does it work?

    Thanks all for the input! Being about 2 weeks out from leaving for a trip that includes 5 days fishing in the ocean, I went ahead and got one. Five days of dramamine is pretty ugh. Will let you all know if it works for me.

    Open Seat & Guide Sharing Forum?

    Seems like a bad idea to have a "public' private forum. Hard not to be divisive in some way - people can see they are excluded. Just have a public forum, and posters can be a little vague on details. Specifics can be via DM. Works for ifish. Besides, isn't there already a private forum for...

    Reliefband - Does it work?

    I get seasick on any sort of rolling water. Dramamine works pretty well for me but makes me feel kind of drowsy and just not great. Bonine doesn't work for me. Thinking about giving Reliefband a try. But the cost is holding me back - $200+ is a lot to spend if it doesn't work. Anyone have...
