Papa Fernandez


Thinking about going down to Gonzaga first week of June and taking my new boat does anyone have any personal experience with launching at Papa Fernandez. Or is there anywhere else in Gonzaga area to launch I have a 19ft Bayrunner it's aluminum so under the right conditions I could beach launch it

There is a good shore launch location about 1/4 mile south of Alfonsina's into the estuary. You have to wait for a higher tide though. I have launched my 16 foot Klamath there and have seen boats up to about 22 feet launched without issues. Have fun!

Papa's ramp is fine, they're charging a few bucks now but you have a safe place to leave your car and trailer while ripping lips...salud:coolup:

You need to pay attention to the tides. You can't launch or retrieve at low tide ,too shallow.

Fishing at Gonzaga Bay


Have fished East Cape (Los Barriles) for years, but know little about the fishery in and around Bahia Gonzaga. Not a bill fisherman...just like to eat 'em. Best time of the year for Yellowtail, Dorado....(Yellowfin...??). What else on the top and/or bottom..?? And, then, of course....any decent shore fishin'...??

Thanks, guys...

Check Bloodydecks.
My Capitan Juan from San Quintin just fished for a month and is moving his camp to BOLA now. He posted many beautiful fish including a 200lb grouper or black sea bass.
He comes home to San Quintin for summer and fishes the Pacific.

The tides can be tricky. Fished with Captain Juan last month and with help from the Papa clan, we finally got in the water at a secondary spot to the right of the ramp as you look out at the water. Have camped and fished there often and I love the vibe of the place...up and over the hill to camp on the water and they leave you alone yet you have some around if need be.

I will be a passenger in a Raptor, so no.
I have towed before... I can tell you the degree of roughness compared to other years or roads in Baja. That I reply does not prevent another Nomad who has towed a boat from responding.
Did you see the video of the motorhome towing a Jeep that was just over the road to Gonzaga and beyond?
The detours around the ex-bridges look really smooth, and they were not bothered.

Good morning from San Felipe! The sea gulls are up... Looks great outside. The word is we are headed to Mulegé today. I think with the added truck that met us here, we are 5 Raptors. now.
