So did you catch anything? Lenguado? Yt? Yellow fin? Pantie crickets?

Great to see you posting photos Mike!
When did you take these?
I presume this is at the south end of the long point that creates the San Quintín Bay region, Cabo San Quintín on the AAA map?

Yes.
We caught a ton of fish from the bajo.
And a needlefish.
But no atun. They went norte.

Yes. Cabo San Quintin on the map.
Just got back.
The pics are from this past Friday.

It take a very powerful 4x4 to get out there.

Or a very light one! My little Kia is grossly under powered on the roads, but at 3200 lbs and large soft tires, it will probably run rings around
your truck in the sand.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

The aluminum F-150 was better on soft sand.
It took me two tries to get over the hill.
I had to back down, screw my nuts on tighter and get a 50mph run down the beach to make it.
He flew up it 1st try.
It was my 1st time.
It was a rush.

Or that. A jeep would be ideal.
A Toyota Tundra was out there surfing.
He made it look easy.

Fishbuck, I am curious about what size tires, and what pressure you were running on the beach. You may have been making your Ford work harder than it
needed to!
If this looks like it is a hijack, I will gladly delete this question. There are plenty of other threads about tire pressure, I am just asking about
your truck!

Not sure about PSI, but I wonder how many foot-pounds he had on his tightened nuts....
FB said: "It took me two tries to get over the hill.

Yep, some hills generate more pucker factor than others.

I started at 25. And then down to about 12-15.
It's not ideal for this but it can do it well. But it will haul and tow serious tonage.
As this is right around the corner from my house... I will go by inflatable boat next time...
Until I get a bad donkey jeep or utv... or a smaller beach truck. But I will keep the big Ford forever... ain't nothing like it...
