A secret fishing hole
Trying out something new, I went out and bought a Gregory welded boat, rigged it up exactly as they did in "The Baja Catch"...Everything is redone or
new except the anchor and rope.
Just amazing results! So now I have a little putt putt to access more that just the surf (which is supremo fishing too).
My first spot last week....a spot that is written in a book, and told to me by two different fellows. I have heard fish stories.... theses guys told
me a whooper lived in the cove....as did the book. Grouper and Trigger fish.
So after launching off the ramp in Puerticitos....I spot hit few places...no takes. It's been windy for five days...
So now comes the secret fish spot....and a fish story that you may not believe!
Coming into the little cove, I threw my anchor in. The cove at that spot is a whopping 45 feet deep according to my anchor line.
Geared up with:
Opus Plus 5500
Sambre SC700 7'
40 lb line
2 oz sinker
3/0 hook
Salted medium size shrimp
Drop cast in, set the rod on the holder.....all within 15 seconds....something bent my rod wildly into the water...I grabbed the rod, the freakin boat
tilt sideways to within two inches from the water line....line snapped. It must have been the "one". I am 245 lb plus the stuff in the boat...and it
damn near overturned the boat!
Had to back up the boat again...anchor must have been dragged by the current or fish? Threw the anchor out and it went ....woooooooooo! The rope
undone' d. &&*(^^&$#%
True story.
The guy off the rocks was catching fish as though he was using a vacuum cleaner. I was catching anger.
So.....here's a map of the best hole in the Puerticitos area. @ 2 miles downward south. 15 minute small craft ride.
Up on the bank....look for a pink trailer with a roof over it, few houses. There's a area there to launch a light boat too. The highway is right
there.

I believe you. My Dad got spooled and broke off near La Costilla and I still wonder what that was.

the one that got away is the reason i keep going back! just think, if you caught each and every one, that would get LAME really fast. i like to dream
about those biggies that get your heart pounding and your mind racing.......
nime sayn?
edit: why don't you keep the gps details off the internet? it's better for the fishery in that bay and it keeps the folks wondering. or widen the area
you point out by 10 miles, but it's up to you.....

I have 50 plus holes from K21 to GB. Baja is big enough to share, besides...I aint the first guy at the, hole I am sure :-)
It's amazing how many fishing spots I got from this BN in the last 6 years!
Look what Baja Catch did.......
I use a simple Costco Umbrella for shade BTW

I hear ya mcfez, I've studied that book, as well as Zac's Trailer Boating Baja for the last couple years. A wealth of usable info! Up until some
lowlife broke into my house in La Mision, I had a great little hand-held GPS/VHF with about 25 waypoints around 6 miles north or south of the marina
at La Salina. 3 years of marking rocks, holes and drop offs, gone!
Keep your eyes on the road, and your hands upon the wheel!
