Cedros/Benitos Island trip set
It looks like the trip dates are firm. Departing August 6 and returning August 17. Tenacious and Patron will be fishing the waters of central Baja. We would welcome any additional boats if anyone is interested.
I'm hoping to get a little help from the club with one item. I need to tote along an additional 40 gallons of fuel and I don't have any fuel bladders. As of now I have several 5 gallon plastic fuel containers but would prefer to borrow or purchase some containers that are between 10 and 15 gallons each. Do any of you have any of these containers you could sell or let me borrow?
Thanks much,
Scott
Advanced scouting complete!
Just got back from, a 5 day on the independance. First stop was Guadalupe, nothing going there. Few rats and calicos but it was clear the Lupe was not the answer. Thank goodness the skipper made a quick call to cut and run and head to Cedros/Natividad. After a long run we joined the Royal Star chasing bird schools inside the South end of Natividad. We hit a nice grade of yellows in the 20 Lb range that loved the iron. We then ran up to Cedros for some nice 30-50 lb class yellows and a nice halibut that went close to 40. Worked that routine for the better part of the day and then motored up and inside of Cedros. Found a nice cove that put out some home guards at dusk. Hit my personal best with a 38 pounder. Seas were lumpy with 30 knot gusts and 15 foot swells according to the skipper. Pictures on the way, going to bed.
