Phil Brna all the way from Alaska. Really nice toro. Back at the Hotel La Concha, they
tried to make the comforts of home but the themostat only went to 62 degress, not "0"

A school of ballyhoo being chased by a school of dorado. Look how far we have to travel for dorado. Maybe 200 yards from the beach.

Some thing you see every night

Sorry Bill for the long post and taking up board space but I wanted to show what is happening down south of the boarder.

Wish everyone was here.... Maybe next year

Phil, like the banana hat and glasses.=D>

WOW!!! There's some fish catchin' goin' on down there. Those Roosters are a beautiful fish. good thing they aren't very good to eat or there wouldn't be many left.... :wink:

Can' wait to get down there. Rancho Viejo here I come.... :nod:

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

Jay's hosted group trips to La Paz are one of the best in Baja and a real bargain too.

These trips are good for "first timers" to salt water fly fishing as well as veterans.

Next time I go I will have to take Marilyn with me.

A kilo of carne, a kilo of cerdo, pickled onions, uff dah. Amazing Roosters. Now I know why Ramon was unimpressed with my results.

[Jay Murakoshi]

Bill you and Marilyn definitely have to make the trip. I want to see her pulling on a rooster.
I will be posting my trip schedule in July or August for the 2011 season. I'm working on the cost and reservations this week. I've already been told a price increase is coming for next year but I plan on keeping the same price as this year.
It looks like I have the first couple weeks of May 2011 with some spots already booked. Most everyone who has been here are booking for next year.

Bill, you might recognize the two guys with the roosters and jacks. Both you and Andy helped them get ready for this trip. It was definitely high marks for Kiene's Fly shop.
I'll have to get you stocked up with some white knights and sardina patterns.

John, Ramon talks about the "one that got away". Remember the one that straightened out your hook.

It's nice to have time off but "boring". I can't wait until the group arrives on Saturday.

that's a great looking snook in the other post. I might take a trip to Pichilingue to see if I can find a boat to take me into the mangroves. The people who went to dinner that night knows what I'm talking about

Saludos

Jay
