Report from Castro's 7-15-2011

---

Well here is the report from the weekend trip. Went down there Friday and came back Sunday. We left Friday around noon and picked up a buddy in Rosarita and then drove the rest of the way down (80 KM) the road was much better than the past with a few spots getting improved still and looks of many more changes to come. The road to the camp is all new to the town and the dirt part the last few miles was not bad. LOOK OUT for the speed bumps in town, they feel 3ft tall. Once we got the the camp things are the same and hasn't changed, get the big cabins if you want a little more room, make sure you take a fan to stay cooler. We got our boat in the morning and had capt. Jorge And he speaks good english and knows how to fish. He took us just out of the camp and we looked for the WSB but no luck. We then started catching some nice bottom fish till 10AM, then made a move north for 1 hour and did well on the bottom fish till 3pm and then headed back. Came in with a full cooler of fish that included Sheaphead and Lind and Reds. Cooked some BBQ and BS with some buddies. Next day we stayed close and on a smoother bottom and did great, Sean scored a couple of great Calico's on a Luganus Jigs. I was working a large Chrome Crock with a little squid. Still no WSB but they are there, just could not get them to bite. Headed back around 3pm and made it back by 10 with the crossing at Otay with a little delay with 2nd inspection, had some eggs in the cooler...

Over all had a great time, go on down and have some fun, for less than $200 for 2 day of fishing you can't beat it. More guys less money per. The boats are $200 a day for 5 fishermen and the big cabins are $60 a day. Fish cleaning is $10 to $15 and tip the Capt if he puts you the fish. By no means is it a resort, but it is Clean and they treat you right. Safe and easy to get there with better roads. Middle of the week it is cheaper as well.

Roger Windeler, 70, passed away suddenly on August 17, 2010. Roger was born on June 8, 1940 in Patterson, New Jersey, the third of four children born to August “Gus” and Marie Windeler.

During his youth, he was actively involved in the Boys Scouts of America, achieving the honor of Eagle Scout. In 1960, he joined the U.S. Coast Guard. His tour included service in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba during the Bay of Pigs Invasion in 1961, though he spent the majority of his service in the North Atlantic before his discharge in 1965.

He married Ruth DeGraff on May 18, 1963 and had three daughters. He received his Bachelor’s Degree in 1976 and his Master’s Degree in 1978 from Fairleigh Dickinson University, both while working full time and raising his family.

In 1979, he moved the family to Agoura, California. He retired in 2000. He and Ruth moved to Canyon Lake later that year, following the lead of their youngest daughter. Ever one to be involved, Roger served on the Canyon Lake POA Board, were he prided himself for being fiscally conservative and logical.

Sad News - We lost a great fisherman and a great person - Tiny

I am sad to report this, but a good friend that I had the pleasure of fishing with has passed away. Tiny (Roger Windele) passed away Tues. I will post details on services or how to pay your respect as soon as I know. But he was a great man and always fun to fish with. If you ever went on a Tiny Charter, your first trip you would get  a nick name, if not you didn't come on the next trip. Most of the nicknames came at the end of the trip and always stuck with you. To be honest most of the guys on the trip, I don't remember their real names just the nick names.. So this is Panic saying we will miss the Big Man - Tiny -

This was the last picture I took of him and it will always be my favorite - One of Tiny's special moments

  Goodbye - My you always limit out..
