It takes 3 days for a party boat out of San Diego to get to Cabo non-stop (no fishing or searching), and 3 to 3 and 1/2 days to return (possible uphill weather). That leaves two days to fish on an...

All the way to Cabo on an eight day? Doesn't sound right.

Sorry you had a bad trip.

Time of the year is EVERYTHING. We talked to Trey, and he ran most of his trips in Jan-Feb, because the boats are cheaper during that time frame. Cheaper for a reason, less fish. Most of his trips...

We still have ONE spot open.

Here's a link to an article about epic marlin fishing in the same area and time-frame we'll be there.

Another video. A tour of the boat. With the ultra-limited load, 10 of the 13 staterooms will be single occupancy, the other 3 will be doubles.

I thought I'd post this short video to get some "I want Wahoo" blood flowing.

Hey Jay

Thanks for posting the flyer to your bulletin board.

I've bought flies from you before and will again for this trip.

Ray was on those Ed Rice sponsored trips, I was a poor college...

My uncle and I chartered the Shogun out of San Diego to do just that! We have a couple of spots open. The trip isn't until Nov 2018 so you have plenty of time to beg, borrow or steal those 13-15wt...

That's what I was told.

I think I'll leave my one-handers at home. :D

I've floated it twice that time of year. You picked an odd numbered year to do it, that means less pinks so the rainbow fishing will be better. You'll see some bear, but most of them will be up on...

I'll be up there this year. Any reason to take a one-hander or it is all Spey?

Any stories? Real or stretched truth?

Should I just stay home and give you the spot?

This seems to be a rehash of a thread when Bill's new board came up (maybe two years ago?). On that thread certain posters were claiming that beads were illegal snagging rigs in California. Now those...

Time to buy a lotto ticket! :D

Don't give up too soon...years ago I found a nice rig in the day parking lot at Anchor River AK. I left my info with the local tackle shop, but nobody contacted me...call some local shops...maybe...

Hey Mike,

Like MSP says...ya got it! But, you forgot to smash your barbs!

Nice fish PaulC!

In regards to you bead sliding, try pegging with a piece of mono (about 150lb) instead of a toothpick. If the mono's the right size it won't slip. I also like the mono because...

Darian,

Once again your logic evades me. If the fish doen't voluntarily take the bead AND hook in it's mouth, then how does the hook get inside the mouth? You scarcastically complimented me on my...

Darian,

Testy? No. Confused? Yes.

You say beading = snagging with no personal experience to back it up, only "unnamed persons". We agree to disagree on this point. I've never beaded in Ca, but...

Darian,

Have you ever gone over to the dark side and fished a bead? If so, how many fish were foul-hooked (snagged)? If you've never fished a bead, how can you make assumptions about how the the...

I have to agree with brad. I've fished rainbows with beads in Alaska for the last 4 Octobers and have very few foul hooked fish. IMHO most of the foul-hooked fish killer stories are from "purists"...

Thanks for the replies...good stuff, but what the heck is indo-nymphing? Is that nymphing with indicators and split-shots or some new cuisine served at trendy restaurants?

Crusty

Is there a big difference between Steelhead Taper and the Nymph taper in either SA or Rio lines?

I'll be using it in Alaska for Steelhead and beading for Rainbows in weights from 6 thru 9....
