TRAVEL -
Flew U.S. Airways , no big issues other than paying for checked baggage . Sac to Arizona , Arizona to Los Cabos . Rented a Jetta from Budget , it got killer mileage . Mexican Customs confiscated my homegrown Chiles on the way in , Mex Customs shook me down just short of a body-cavity search on the way out (no biggie) . U.S. Customs confiscated my Mexican Chiles on the way back in .... not amused . No TSA issues , all my stuff was in good shape when we returned .
HOTEL PUNTA COLORADA -
Perfect ! Food was great , lots on tasty new things .... staff is the BEST around , professonal , fast , helpful . We spent the majority of our free time with them , they are all wonderful ! Rooms were spotless , lots of hot water , not a single issue . At well under $100.00 USD for 2 people including 3 meals a day , the best deal going ! great fishing 50 yards from your door , few other tourists around .... still scratching our heads as to why more are not there in November/December ....
CONDITIONS -
Lots of strange stuff going on . First few days flat , then , a South wind in the late morning that would drop and turn around and come from the North (first time I've seen this) . The North wind started right after this - blowing 35+ MPH for 4 days in a row . Stronger than I've seen before . Punta Arena was fishable , but the surf there was frightening to be close to - we caught fish every sesson out but the water was SOOOO bad , I'm still surprised we didn't have a problem . Air temps colder than normal for this time of year , only 2 or 3 days of what I'd consider 'warm' temps . All conditions manageable IF you were prepared - we were !!
On to part 2 - gear , flies , fishing ....
