Super inspiring video, I loved it, been trying to get my wifey to come down south and explore those places. So many questions to ask you dude, perhaps the most important one, any problems at all, safety issues and stuff like that? Are you guys traveling in groups, packs or caravan? How often you guys travel down there? I’m ready to pull trigger, but I will feel horrible living my girl behind! We might perhaps join you next time around and make her happy! 👍🏻🍺🤣
Hi, thank you very much for supporting our channel, it means a great deal to us. I’m glad this video has inspired you to plan your own trip to Baja, it’s a beautiful place and we love it. Erica and I travel there at the bare minimum once per year. Mom was born in Baja so I’m pretty familiar with the area. I’ve received many inquiries such as yours and I’m thinking of putting together a video about traveling to Baja, how to prepare, etc. Baja is a safe place, but there is some crime just like anywhere else. You just have to be smart about things and most importantly have some common sense. Feel free to message me here or DM me if you have any questions or would like me to help you prepare an itinerary and give you some pointers. We may return in November.
@@airstreamexpeditions1 I’m glad to have come accross uour site, and I would certainly love to stay in touch. There’s so much to know and so many unknowns. Perhaps one of the most important ones apart from safety or security is do you require a letter from your finance company to bring your rig down to Baja? I’ve been as far as the valley of Guadalupe and Cabo San Lucas. I’ve always been fascinated to the natural beauty, how sparse, broad, empty and how serene everything is. Beautiful people, exquisite food. Looking forward to staying in touch, hopefully we can plan it trip as a group one day and have a blast amongst new long lasting friends! Cheers! 🍺👍🏻
Hi, it’s a Sea Eagle 385 FTA. We’ll have several uploads in the upcoming weeks related to the gear we use as we have had many inquiries. Thanks for watching.
great content, nice video.. Do you need fishing license when fishing from kayak? if yes where do you get one ? how much it cost about. Thank you sharing
Thank you for supporting our channel, I hope you got some valuable information. Let me know if you need any recommendations for places to stay or captains to take you fishing. You don’t need a license for shore fishing, but you do need a license to fish from a kayak or a vessel. You can obtain a license online here is the link. sportfishing.bajacalifornia.gob.mx/
Thank you for respond. I watch all you video from Baja and have all Capitan's names you recommended. When you go fishing with Capitan I see you use you bottom fishing rod/ reel for yellowfin . what rig did you use on this video for bottom fishing? do the captain provide fishing rods or better to use your own? Thank you again. I found you video is best for fishing in Baja Thank you @@airstreamexpeditions1
Depending on the time of year you visit, yellowtail can sometimes be down deep. In that case, we use 80 pound test with an Owner 6/O hook. Other times of the year they’re on the surface and you can catch them with irons. I always suggest calling the Captain ahead of time and asking him what gear to bring. I usually bring my own gear but it’s not needed. Just let your captain know ahead of time and he can provide a gear for you.
At 8:31 there is a nice view of the sand spit. This is where our party of two families+ camped in 1973 (there is a lighthouse on that spot now.) I was in high school then and I was with the family of my future wife. Across the bay was the only settlement: Papa Diaz' resort which I see is still there. It was a long way down dirt road from San Quintin and there was a landing strip with small planes parked at Papa Diaz. On Christmas night we had dinner at Papa Diaz' which was serving Turtle Steak. I know that's not ok today. It tasted like abalone, btw.
Hey James, hope you enjoyed the video. Sounds like you were there at a great time that created long lasting memories. That’s what these trips are all about, discovering new things and creating memories. Although the town is likely more developed today, it’s still probably very recognizable. Have you been there lately?
Good to read a comment of being there in the early 70's. I started going to B de L in 1968 as soon as school was out fir the summer. I would camp, with friends or by myself for a couple of weeks in June. I would stop and tell "Mama " Diaz where I was and when Caguama was on the menu to send someone to tell us. The best steak or tacos ever. No question, I'm glad the sea turtle and their eggs are now protected . I am an avid diver and fish the Golfo still, but limit my catch to a couple of fish to eat. B de L has changed along with most of the places I used to camp. Some of the remote islands still allow people to moor & camp for a few days. Enjoy Baja. Still a world apart from the Norm.
Fellow Airstreamer here. Were you fishing a Phenix Axis on those yellowtail? We are thinking about rolling down to Baja this winter and I was thinking about taking my gear.
Yes sir, that was my Phoenix Axis. In the winter months yellowtail are down low so you want to bring the following… 1. 6/O circle hooks (I prefer Owner) 2. 80 pound test mono line with braid 3. Sabikki If you want to fish, leopard grouper, make sure you bring the following… 1. Casting rod and reel (40 lb test) 2. Diawa SP minnows - bubble gum and white I’ll be there in November and fishing on my own. Let me know if you want to connect.
@@airstreamexpeditions1 right on! Gotta love pulling those slug yellowtail off the rocks. I’ve got everything from 10’ Ulua’s to 130lb bluefin gear. We may have retired and left Cali, but I still get out to San Diego a couple of times a year to fill the freezer. Love your videos and enthusiasm. We’re on our 3rd Airstream now- a 2019 23CB International. Glad to see a video of someone towing down Baja. Wondered if it was plausible, or if I needed to go with an adventure van.
It’s definitely possible. You just have to plan your trip out. For example, there’s not many options for dumping you’re holding tanks in Bahia de Los Angeles so, you have to make sure you have a full tank of freshwater and an empty black and gray tank. I like Campo Archelon because they also have showers and bathroom facilities that you can use as a back up. On my way back home. I’ll stop in San Felipe at Pete’s Camp to dump my holding tanks.
Been following your travels lately... Love it. Can I drive my Rav4, from Palm Springs, will it survive the rough roads in Baja.??? Which company can I book to fish yellowtails just like the one you did? Hope you can help...
Absolutely, your vehicle can definitely make it. I usually fish with Captain Missael of Fisharms sport fishing. Great captain and can put you on fish. You could DM him on Instagram or Facebook. instagram.com/missael992?igshid=NHluZmYzamc4MHBs
@@airstreamexpeditions1 many thanks for the info.. Appreciate. One last question if you don't mind.. Which company did you book your mexican car insurance driving the border?
Well done video. I was there in the late 1990s before the current developments. Glad to see the turtle research station is still there, saving the turtles.
Wow! It’s wonderful that you got to work with Antonio Sr. I never had the privilege of meeting him, but his legacy lives on through his wife and children. I know his son, Antonio Jr. he’s a very good person.
@@airstreamexpeditions1 my buddy and i were there long time ago and he showed a news paper article where on of the turtles that had a GPS tracker swam from Bay of LA all the way to japan we called him DR Tony wonderful man
Was the first time fishing bro ????
Hey i me and my buddy helped Dr Anthony weighing some sea turtle

Nice video thanks for sharing , but never rest your pole on the rail of the boat while fishing you could damage the pole
Good call!
What brand of inflatable kayak do you have?

How about adding the costs of camps and or if its free to stay ? Thank you , GREAT VIDS !
Hi, that’s a great idea, thank you. Campo Archelon is about $25 a night. Playa La Gringa is dry camping and free.
YOU ROCK ! Will be down this winter Thank you ! Keep up the great vids and info , very easy to watch and listen to ...@@airstreamexpeditions1

Thank you for watching. It must’ve been quite a sight visiting in the 1990s. Bahia de Los Angles is one of my favorite places in Baja to visit.

Great Video Julio
I'd love to come with you one time
Thanks Peter!
Careful with cartels & crime rings
Never had any issues in 40 years of travel to Baja.
