Anybody have a cool trip planned?

Hey guys,

Anybody have a cool trip planned?

Our little group (32) are still booked in at the Oasis hotel in Loreto , Mexico

I understand lots of fishermen have cancelled there fishing plans, Only one guy cancelled with us.

Yep, same place you're going. ;) Then, again for two weeks out of Cabo in late October/early November.

Had to cancel our trip, it was just too close and too many uncertainties. If things start to change significantly for the better soon, we will book a flight to Baja ASAP. I just don’t see it being likely soon though, maybe later in the summer? Most other trips we want to take are sort of in limbo at the moment, like everything else in life these days. We have lots of cool trips planned... just no idea when we are going to be able to actually do one of them? Hopefully sooner than later!

At least I have walking access to a pond with LMB and Bluegill, my personal “hillbilly tarpon flats”. Not exactly “exotic”: no sharks or crocodiles or sting rays, though there are some pretty testy nesting Canada Geese to negotiate with right now.

Jason,

I am pretty certain that Mexico is going to be fine , I was told that the "sport fishing " would open back up real soon. Just found out today that their is lots of Sargasso in Loreto, which is a good thing for Dorado. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Eric,

I am also thinking of another trip to Mexico in late October/early November for Bill fish in Mag bay. I used to spend a lot of time on the Smith river and the Chetco river at that time, however no more fish there. Looking for something else at that time.

I'm supposed to go to Marathon, FL the week of May 25... I have planned for two days offshore/bluewater, two days inshore/flats flyfishing , and two days kayak flyfishing. I have a feeling that trip isn't going to happen... we shall see.

Stay healthy everyone!

I am booked for Fernie in early September and Chile in November, if I bat .500 on those plans I’ll be happy.

My short term goal is to be on the McCloud and Upper Sac by mid May.

Rock Creek and Blackfoot River area in Early July. Sounds like everything will be a go, with a few restrictions in place still.

From what I hear from friends down there the keys will be remaining closed to visitors until at least June 1.

Hard to believe this thread is almost a year old.

As expected my 2020 trips to Fernie and Patagonian Chile were both sacked. Fernie dates were pushed to September 2021, I am not even feeling optimistic about that at this point, Chile will wait until 2022+.

I did make good on my goal of getting on the Upper Sac in May, but even within state I have done very limited fishing travel since last March...two nights in Dunsmuir in May, two nights at ICL in November, and two nights in Fortuna in late December.

We have cancelled our international trip again this year. We do NOT do well with the "maybe yes - maybe no" indecision imposed by governments at this time. However we WILL be going locally (Florida, Wa., and points in between), unless WE ACCEPT a ban on private travel. Kinda risky though as they can get a good pic of us as we wear NO mask unless absolutely needed to get supplies.

My next trip is planned for the last week of May (2021)... to Savannah, GA for redfish. Fingers crossed this doesn't get cancelled like my other out-of-state trips last year.

Making an expedition to Northeast Texas with McFish and MThompson for LMB, white bass, stripers, and wipers in mid April. 14 days split between two locations in the Tyler area. 14 days in Texas plus three on the road each way. Looking forward to topping my current personal bests for Largemouth and Striper and fishing a bunch of lakes very different than our local reservoirs.
