Im looking to go to "The Ranch" (near Cabo) in the spring...
Are you going to Cabo just for fishing or do you want to fish while you are on vacation? I'm asking because I know a couple good hotels and boats for both. I LOVE Cabo!!!
Primarily for kayak fishing, The Ranch is supposed to be geared toward that... I would appreciate any hotels/info you have...Quote:

Rancho Leonero , the founder of kayakfishing.com / Spike has been going there for many years with groups... He charters out of Malibu CA to the Channel Islands usually...Quote:

Those kayak guys are nuts... have seen them close to 100 miles offshore outside Puerto Vallarta when the boat was down there. Granted, they had a big sportfisher nearby for backup, but just paddling around with an 80 reel between their legs in the same area that 1,000+ lb marlin are pulled out from time to time. No thank you! I like the comfort of a boat that's a big more substantial. :shock:
OK cool.Quote:

Question, when I sit in a Kayak, granted not a fishing Kayak, my back starts to ache after about 20 min. Does that happen to you???
I really want to try this outfit out of Puerto Vallarta..Quote:

Cuts down on the travel time on a sport fisher from San Diego and you can get into the big cow tuna in a day..

Nope, no back ache but my two kayaks (old town and wilderness systems) have adjustable back rests on the seats... I go for 10+ hours at a time with few breaks... :) An ocean kayak without a padded seat/back rest would be very uncomfortable in short order...Quote:

I've got a buddy in PV when you're ready to go fishing. He's got a charter service. Fishes a dual outboard panga mostly, but does have access to the bigger sportfishers if that's the route you want to go. I'm dying to go down and wet some lines with him again. Was the captain of the boat for years before we moved it to San Carlos.Quote:

I don't know if they have any as small as you're looking for down there. We'd knock down 250 lb'ers on a regular basis. Lots of big cows. Captain Danny is on the right in the pic and he's every bit of 5'10. :happy:
:omg::schreck::bowdown::yikes:
That's what I am talking about!!! Drop the girl off at an all inclusive resort and head out!
I need to make this happen!!!
^^^ :eat: Imagine that while in a ocean kayak!!!
Let me know when you want to go. We always had a great time down there in the fall and on into the new year. Nothing like sitting in the pool January 3rd watching planes take off and getting ready to head to the airport. They really don't have a winter down there per se.Quote:

Pretty much every local I've ever fished with in Mexico has a big scar or 2 from the bacterial infection that comes from scraping against the sharp end of a billfish. :yikes:Quote:
