I'm a newbie and have done only a bit of research on fishing in BCS. It seems most of the action is east cape, sea of cortez farther north and
offshore boats from the CSL marina. Is there good action from Todos Santos? What's the season and species? Would love to hear about pangueros
finding fly rod species (roosterfish) near shore or anything that's not too much of a boat ride.
Thanks and buena suerte to anyone who's down there now.

Todos Santos is not really a sportfishing area. there are some pangas that brave the waves when things are a little calmer but this year the surf is
the major reason for being there. When you are forced to launch through the surf even with experienced people you can have about 10 years experience
in about 1 minute flat.

Es verdad amigo. I've only been there in Jan. and yes the waves can be huge so it would not seem a good time to bust through to the outside. What
about during the summer when the swells come from the south? Seems like the launch at Punta Lobos (i think that's the name) would be protected.
Pescador, you do much inshore or kayak fishing down there?

Had some good pargo and jack fishing from the beach in the spring.
down at Pescadero Camp Ground...don't know if it's still there. was for sale.
A special place, thought about moving down to TS...but, no real boating ops except Cabo...Also much too busy for us.....
Did especially well after dark from the beach...

Thanks Captain George. That's encouraging news about the fishing. There were campers at Cerritos and at the San Pedrito RV Park in January.

San Pedrito is where I camped...Heard there is some theft at Cerritos. Bring some small treble snagging rigs for bait....Floating Rebels, Red Fins
gold/black 4 to 7 inch for after dark.
John runs Pedrito...say hello for deborah and I if you get there....

Denver,
Somewhere recently I read the some pangueros are chartering out of Punta Lobos. I am going to try them next trip. I want to fish SOC, but my friends
like to stay a week in Todo Santos so got to do some fishing there.
What time of year will you be there?

Al G,
I was just there in Jan. Didn't fish because the surf was huge! I managed to go to the hospital (Centro de Salud) twice in one week. Once for
myself and once for my cousin.
I'd like to get back soon- maybe for fishing in the spring.

Denver,
I am headed down approximately the 12th of April although I've been trying to go since November. Long STORY! I will give a report on the fish if I get
lucky. I intend to try every beach, but my first job is to find bait. That was my problem last year. I have new lures and will try some lighter surf
gear if I can not solve the bait issue.
