Looking for a Fishing Resort for 4 days
Hi, This is our first time to SJD and the area. Anyone recommend or know of places like Rancho Leonaro or El Cardnalos where we can stay, relax and
fish that has local character, honesty and good prices? Thanks much Pam and Dave email: monkie1122@yahoo.com

La Playita
Monkie, Although it's not exactly like an East Cape style All-Inclusive Fishing Resort, La Playita is pretty close. Go to
There's a link to the Hotel.
You stay at the La Playita Resort, fish with Eric Brictson'e Gordo Banks Pangas from the beach in front of the Hotel, and they have a Resturant next
door.
La Playita has a few Tiendas and a couple other resturants within walking range. (Does anyone know if Dos Ricardos is still in buisness?)
Bring a 48qt Ice Chest, and keep it stocked with cervesa, bottled water, sodas and ice from the tiendas.
La Playita is a mile or so east of downtown SJD, across the Estero San Jose

Toss up: Rancho Leonero or Punta Colorado. Both are isolated, all inclusive, professionally managed resorts close to potentially great fishing. Both
still feel like Baja, although Punta Colorado is remaining as it was better than Leonero which is selling out to what will be.

Thanks all for your replies. However I didn't read them until we returned. We had a great time. We stayed at the Playa del sol and fishing was
great! The area is beautiful and locals are friendly. Also met some very nice people. Our first day fishing we caught 12 Tuna and lost 2. The 2nd
day we caught a sail fish. Being from Wisconsin we found the weather very hot. The roads and washes were a little scary. I found myself watching
clouds a lot, thinking that if it rained at all we would be stuck. We will do this again and will probably check out your recommendations this
time. Also interested in finding resorts or charters that are owned by locals. I sure would like to see the residents of the baja benefit from our
intrusions.
Smile. Pam

Fishing with locals
If you want the true Mexican flavor, try Cabo Pulmo. Cabo Pulmo Divers are the original guys running diving and fishing trips out of that area. They
are all Mexicans and they know where the fish are. There are very nice Palapas to rent at the Cabo Pulmo dive shop next door to Cabo Pulmo Divers.
Excellent snorkeling and fishing.
