Title: San Quintin, Baja
Post by: swill88 on September 06, 2016, 06:14:07 AM
Three and a half weeks ago three of us drove six+ hours south of San Diego to SQ, Baja. The pictures just came in so now I can post without grief. We went out 2 days on a 27' super panga. Made a lot of bait, mackerel, on sabikis which is half the fun.

We landed 10 Yellowtail each day at the 240 high spot before noon which was great because the winds whipped to 15-18 and we headed in.

first day's catch headed for the fillet table...

second day's catch... I'm the oversized guy...

San Quintin is a great place to fish...

We each lost big fish to the rocks which is as big a thrill as landing the 20#ers.

Terrific, it looks like those plastic chairs work out pretty good.  Dominick

Well they were comfortable.. we broke one the first day and another one the second day.  It's why I'm sitting on the ice chest.

We usually go out on one of the two Parkers but K&M has been putting this panga together so we wanted to give it a try.  The built up rails you can sit on or brace against with your knees is nice.  It's fun fishing closer to the water.

Not the first chair I've broken...

I've seen those same chairs used successfully on boats. They cut all the legs about 10-12 inches shorter. Very stout and steady then. Plus it lowers your and the boat's COG. Good all around.

Oops...forgot to add nice catches!

fishing sitting on an Ice chest is the best part, you are the master and owner of the beers, nobody will take one without your permission
