fishing at night gonzaga bay
Ok...so except for the occasional..lets throw a line in from the beach and have a beer. Has anyone fished on the bay at night...why? or why not? I
know most of us have fished fresh water lakes at night...just curious if anyone has fished Baja at night...????

I know that illegal fishing takes place at night in some places. I don't think I would want to be out there with them.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

I don't know about gonzaga but fishing at night can be very productive with bait. Some big critters like to cruse the shore then. A lantern light
would bring in bait fish for the bigger guys to attack. Have a good time and let us know how it goes.

As it has already been mentioned the beach can be a lot of fun to fish at nite! we fished Gonzaga and BOLA for years.
Nite time gives the fish cover they don't have other wise it can get really crowded on the beach where there is a light,just find a sandy
section and a few rocks is even better,one or 2 coleman lanterns work great,now cover half the lens with al foil that will let you direct the light
and keep it out of your eyes.
Corvina love nite,lite, sand and Sara Spooks, you will get a shot at larger fish at nite, small WSB will mix with the corvina sometimes and
join the party.
You may get a other visitor also and that's the Tax Man they love those conventions
The northern gulf use to be chucked full of those guys,anyway fish the outside of the lights on the edges that's where they will
hold.........let me know how things go.

Anyone can catch fish in a boat but only \"El Pescador Grande\" can get them from the beach.
I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.

That's what they are sometimes called along with the Man in the gray suit As I mentioned the northern gulf was stuffed with them until the locals discovered there was money to be made in the fin market.

Have heard more than my fair share of boats at night whilst camped at Papa Fernandez...always seemed a bit creepy.
