I nearly died in Mexico

My fishing gear is at cavyfishing.com/ The trip that nearly ended me.
Driving around Baja Mexico trying to find fishing spots but getting skunked the whole way. An adventure that went wrong terribly wrong. Happy that it's over and look forward to fishing healthy again!
The camper used in this video which was epic by the way is from bajaoverlander.mx/

We have the same situation here in California. So many places are totally fished out, or the habitats for fish have been severely compromised. When we see how you have it in Australia, it doesn't even seem possible that land-based fishing can be so good. You are great about catch and release Cavy. Protect what you have back home or it too might disappear in your lifetime. Glad you survived to fight another day.

[@avisoncino8665]

The fish you caught at 34:58 was a Spotted Bay/Sand Bass (but Californians just call them Spotties). They’re a super popular and fun game fish that you can catch in any bay or marina from Los Angeles all the way to the tip of Baja. They can get to about 5-7 lbs but most people catch are usually under a pound. They fight super hard on lighter gear and smaller baits

Damn, trifecta sickness! Being from Southern California, we've made many trips up and down Baja. It's always hit and miss. 20 years ago, people said the same thing, "Oh, you should have been here a few years ago." The spotted fellas brought back memories - that's all we caught one day. Glad you survived. Next time fish Cabo from a boat or Southern California for Bluefin Tuna. They're biting off Ensenada now, in fact.

[@adamd3319]

It's a different feeling when you think you might die from some sort of unknown sickness.. it's not like narrowly escaping death in a car accident or whatever. You have time to think about dying and what you might leave behind, what you haven't done and all that, at least if you really think you are going to die. Scary stuff man. I'm really glad to hear you are ok and that the rattler venom didn't mess you up worse. What you mentioned about fishing deteriorating in the past 5 years was echoed by a guide I went out with in costa rica this past january. We had a decent day out but he was saying he has a client that fishes with him several times a year who is basically loaded and travels all over the globe all year every year to fish and that dude was saying that everywhere he has gone the fishing has been much worse than normal. No matter where he went- Mexico, Costa Rica, Australia, Africa, Florida, you name it, it was not good. Just one guys experience but still. Eerie. Maybe ocean temps are the problem...inshore fisheries would suffer most from that I'd think. Some florida water was hotter than a hot tub this past year. That's f'd up.
