DODGERS OFF-TOPIC Thread

My other friend went to Bay of LA thats 12 hours INTO Baja, he said it was relatively safe whatever that means.

It's actually more expensive to leave on a day and a half boat from SD then to drive into Mexico. Costa Rica would be amazing but damned expensive.

 

yeah CR is great for fishing but the charters start at around 1200 for a decent one on top of 500 airfare and expenses.
if you are traveling w a vet that knows his way i don't think you are going to be in imminent danger so long as you stay safe and don't get so drunk the locals want to smash you on principle.
stay off the beaches at night and keep your wing close. i would go if you have confidence in the guy and he has recent experience in that area.
i've been in Mexico maybe four times in the last two years w no problem but nothing past rosarito.
for all the bad press about the drug situation its only the people involved in the trade or the federalies/policia that are killing each other.
get a good safe hotel and a reliable car and you should be fine imo.
be prepared for a long wait coming back and buy the insurance for the car if you are driving in.

 

So is TJ safe? my best friend at SDSU keeps telling me to go to TJ and club/barhop with him and his friends
He's been like 10x and he's still alive. He goes with white and asian girls and theyre safe. I just feel me being the handsome pretty MF i am im gonna get kidnapped.
Lol jk, but seriously, how is it?
Recommendations? What to do/not to do

 

hahahaha

 

I've fished in Baja quite a bit are you a fisherman as well Irish?

 

Nice! I went Tuna fishing in Ensenada last year got shut out.

 

Irish, do you have one of those nice Irish fisherman cable knit sweaters like George Clooney wore in The Perfect Storm?

 

Damn, I knew I found a home here..Die Hard Dodger fans AND Fisherman..I fish Myself. Been doing so my whole life. From Cattle Boats ( not so much anymore) to the Sierras. Mostly Fly fish the Sierras and Surfish for Corbina,Perch and Hali's..The occasional Leo. We should put together a DSP charter out of Peedro or something.

 

Its safe. walking in is a little bizarre the first time but just go and don't be afraid. a lot of money has been invested in the area.
its still Mexico so don't wear a bunch of flashy jewelry etc. act like you've been there before and don't get shit faced drunk and disrespect the locals.
easy peezy but as crazy as it seems most mexicans i know act like its a war zone and won't go near it.
why you're buddy takes white and asian girls in to the land of the latina is baffling to me.
also find a taco cart on the street surrounded by mexicans and wade in you won't regret it.
live a little wtf is wrong w you?

 

and look what happened to him.

 

Even so, it still is pretty cool as a quote to live by.
I do agree, however, if you can't handle a Porsche 550, drive something else. I can't remember, but the whole thing may not have been his fault, sort of like Kinison's fatal crash in Needles.
Y'know, where the other guy just walks away...

 

This monster is a halibut right?
I never knew how big they grew, until I went to an Indian feast in Alaska. The thing was absolutely huge, and roasted over coals and delicious.

 

Holy shit!
