Guess I am the only guy left on this board still fishing these days?
November is here! The summer from HELL has finally ended and cool temps have arrived. Unfortunately along with the cool temps the winter winds are
here as well.
No worries, there are still some sheltered spots you can find if you know where to go. Luckily my chitty little boat can be launched anywhere I can
drag it.
the bite has been hot in the small bays around Loreto so we decided to just move on out there to take advantage, loaded up the camper and the boat and
headed out to the spot. Playa Quemado, just about 30 mins outside of town, sheltered by Puerto Escondido to the north and Danzante to the east, its a
great spot to hide from the wind.
Nice part about camping on the beach, can sleep in! Takes about 30 seconds to launch the boat off the beach and were off to the races
Cast netted some sardines from a nearby rocky point (only snagged my net like 3 times on the bottom! lol) loaded up my 5gal bucket and bubbler and
headed out a little deeper waters.
The Sierra mackerel are moving into the bays, great fighters, super sharp teeth! I really need to start using some wire because I have lost more of
these guys than I count...
Had a buddy come out and meet me for some fishing action as well. Caught his first sierra
and hooked into a surprise dorado! His first ever as well! Biggest one ive landed this year, lots of fun on a Dawai BG 3000 Look how close to shore we are! These guys were hitting in ~20ft of water, I saw one
smashing bait in less than 2ft of water, crazy stuff
Action was hot with big tidal outflow flushing bait out of the port and into the bay, bite after bite for about 2 hours straight
a few small Gallos and pargo showed up to the party as well, fishing the beach and rocky point near Punta Coyote
Great day of fishing
Early November I headed out with a local friend on his panga, we were hoping to run out to Puerta Almejas to look for some yellowtail, but the wind
and waves said NOPE!
So we tucked into San Bruno and trolled the shoreline, ended up hooking into some more Dorado, good size compared the chickens weve been catching all
year
Howard (fellow BajaNomader and my neighbor here in Loreto) and I have gone out a few times on his boat as well, we caught plenty of Dorado but all the
pics are trapped on my broken phone! I should get that thing fixed...
With the water temps dropping quickly I dont expect these Dorado to stick around much longer, probably for the best as my Fridge/Freezer is well
stocked!!
Time to go catch some yellowtail!!

Great info, we will be taking a boat out of Puerto Escondido over TG so we will probably need to find some of those sheltered spotsdefrag4 - 11-18-2020 at 11:14 AM

Just got to get launched before sunrise and back before 1pm if you dont want to get pounded
luckily from PE you can kind of jump from point to point on the islands and stay protected for a good amount of the way, depending on the wind
direction of course
