“I started doing this because I wanted more time with my son. Then friends came. Then family. Then everybody started asking when we were going again.”

Meet Randy McMurray ↗The trip that keeps getting postponed
Maybe it is with your son. Maybe your daughter. Maybe your dad. Maybe it is the same group of friends you keep saying you need to get together with again.
The problem usually is not wanting to go. It is everything that has to happen before you can.
All the details that keep getting in the way:
Eventually somebody says, we will figure it out next year. And next year becomes the year after that.
One payment. One point of contact.
You pay once. From there, there is nothing left for you to arrange, book, carry, or worry about.

Local knowledge. Personal responsibility.
My mother is from Tijuana. I have been going down into Baja California my entire life. Driving down there does not feel like travel to me, it feels like going somewhere familiar.
The captains, the hotel, and the people who handle the fish are not vendors I found online. They are friends I have known for years. When I bring a group down, I am bringing them to people I trust, and they know it.
I drive the van myself. I am with you the whole way.

Years of Baja
The Rodfather experience
We leave from San Diego and drive down together. Five pangas, four anglers to a boat, on the water at the same time. A welcome dinner when we arrive, an awards banquet before we head home, and a lot of hours in between that nobody planned and everybody remembers.

Who comes
It begins with fishing. Who you bring is what makes the trip yours.
The trip that started all of this.
Same water, same result. Nothing about this is a boys-only trip.
Parents and kids together, at a family rate. Not everyone has to fish. Some of the best days are spent in the coves.
The group you have been saying you need to get away with again.
Larger parties, teams, or a group that wants the whole trip to itself. Get in touch and we will build it around you.
Why this exists
My son is twenty-six now. He has his own life, like he should.
But every time one of these trips gets close, something changes. We start talking about it. Planning it. Getting excited about it together. And for a little while after we get home, we are still talking about everything that happened.
That is what made me realize this was bigger than fishing.
Read Randy’s story ↗The first thirty
Until now, everybody who came was a friend or family member and nobody paid me a dollar. The last trip was twenty of us across five boats. By the end of the week people were already asking me to book next year.

A tradition worth collecting
The fish eventually gets eaten. The pictures end up on your phone.
But every person who makes the trip goes home with a Rodfather coin.
One trip. One coin. Come back next year and earn another.
Someday you will look at the collection and remember exactly who was there for every one.
The Rodfather Classic
The Rodfather Classic starts at $2,995 for two, including transportation from San Diego, three nights lodging, two days of fishing, permits, processing, and the awards banquet.
