Join us on Baja’s East Cape for some of the most exciting fishing Mexico has to offer with Justin Crump, Kate Taylor and The Reel Baja group. We will be staying in a comfortable beach house near the safe and friendly village of Los Barriles and enjoying 4 days of guided fishing and 5 nights of lodging. 

We'll attack Baja in a few ways:

In-Shore Hunt (two days): Two days will be spent in panga boats targeting numerous in-shore species, such as Rooster Fish, Jack Crevelle, Bonita, Lady Fish, Sierra and host of others. If conditions permit, there is an opportunity to go off shore to chase Striped Marlin, Sailfish, Dorado and Tuna.

Beach Patrol (two days): Two days will be spent rolling ATV's on the beaches primarily in search of GRANDE Rooster Fish and Jack Crevelle. Challenging and rewarding - fish in the 30 to 50 pound range are a reality. Worldclass.

Afternoon/Evenings in front of the beach house (every day): After our panga and beach day trips, afternoons and evenings present an amazing fishery for small to medium sized roosterfish right in front of the beach house.

Details:

• May 30th - June 4th
• All home-cooked meals and lodging provided
• Beer, cocktails, bottled water and soda provided
• Airport Transfers included (airfare to Cabo San Lucas not included)
• All equipment provided, including rods, reels, flies and live chum
• Afternoon/evening Baja fly tying sessions for those who can pull themselves away from the beach

Special Chum Price: $1900 per angler (based upon double occupancy) with a maximum of 8 anglers at the beach house. Additional days can be arranged.

In the meantime here are some highlights from previous years:

Como se Dice "holy shit" en Espanol?

We came, we saw

Chummed!

Cleared for Launch

The 2nd annual Chum field trip is officially underway.

We came, we saw, we...

...kicked its ass!

Well, we sorta kicked its ass. You never truly kick his ass. In the end, if there was a scoreboard, Mr. Rooster would have one in the win column - par for the course on the Sea of Cortez. But when you walk away from the Moldy Chum Baja Field trip with everyone able to hoist their very own cocks, it's an accomplishment. One with mayhem, gut splitting laughter, and smiles across the board.

Jeff DeBrown's The Reel Baja rolled out the red carpet and delivered a second to none experience. And, with jedi presence of Justin Crump and Kate Taylor, the waters off the coast of Los Barilles were boiling with all kinds of en fuego-ness.

Rumor has it pen will ink the pages of one of our favorite industry rags soon, so we'll spare the literary dogs-breakfast. If pictures are worth a thousand words, then someone should have War and Peace on their hands with this shit...

 

We arrived at night to this scene.  It was clear we were in a special place.  Aaron Otto Photo.

Morning came fast and guess what?  Still special.

DeBrown had us dialed on bugs.  Aaron Otto Photo.

Crump had something up his sleeve as well with this sardina pattern.

When running down the man we found you gotta watch your step.

Sometimes it was best to chase them with four wheels - after a quick stop for cerveza.  Aaron Otto Photo.

 There was a lot of staring into the blue - searching.

But we eventually hooked up.  Matt Jones Photo.

Same time, same place next year.  If it's half as good as this year, we're in business.  Jeff, Kate, and Justin really delivered a world class experience.  Please visit Aaron Otto Photography and Matt Jones Photography for many more excellent pictures of this trip.

In the meantime, we still have space left on our Kanektok Field Trip - join us for another killer time.

We're back from the East Cape.  Full report to follow - until then chew on this...

The 15 second mark of this video should make sense of the chaos experienced when a Rooster decides your sardina pattern is interesting. 

It wasn't all swings and misses though - Cock was gripped.

As was Mr. Crevalle.
