Well, I’ll preface this by saying the fishing part of this trip didn’t go as planned. But, I’m never going to complain about spending time in Baja!   My parents and I, along with some close family friends, headed down to San Felipe, Baja for a little over a week....

A couple years ago I started exploring a new (for me) area that is only diveable on very calm days… The area is fun to dive with varied depths, cool structure and a good variety of fish and so I try and get out there once or twice a year when the ocean lays...

In an effort to re-stock the freezer and get a little salt therapy, I made a run to the coast and met up with Dave, his brother Sean, and Eddie. I left the house at 3am and arrived at Timber Cove around 6:15ish with some high hopes that we’d get on some fish. Paid the...
