If you had 3-5 days. You leave Ensenada and go where along Pacific coast? Is there fishing boats/ or pangas avaliable? Very reasonable and secure lodging? Please share you wisdom and knowledge. thank you in advance. Have to go south along Baja Pacific.

Bahia Asuncion.

Lodging, fishing, exploring, San Roque, Juan and Shari.

Long drive, maybe 10 hours from where your at...Worth it.

3 days San Quintin. 5 days Bahia Asuncion. A little early for good fishing in both spots but starting to get good at San Quintin. B.A. should get going soon for yellowtail.
If your open to the Cortez try BOLA.

Because of time, I was leaning towards San Quintin. One day would like to have enough time to check Bahia Asuncion. Any rec on where to stay and which outfit to fish with? Thanks again

What do you want to catch? For tuna maybe San Quintin I don't know how far down they are right now, San Quintin is very close to the grounds at the 90 mile range for the SD boats.
If you have 3 to 5 days including travel I'd go Santo Tomas or Ereudira (Castro's) smaller towns, good people. These places are a little less talked about .The bottom fishing and and what ever is running can be very good.
I had wanted to try Camalu after reading about the hotel and panga's there. Both have places to stay and panga's for hire.
The surf fishing is also good at all the above.

For the really adventurous soul I recommend Punta Baja. I haven't fished there but did visit and saw the pangueros bring back some nice fish.
Not really a sport fishing destination but interesting anyway.

C'mon Fishbuck. I am the only gringo at Punta Baja now, and I like it that way!

Even if you don't catch fish, the little restaurant at the point has their daily fresh catch specials, super cheap and delicious.

3-5 days..........hmmmm.............not very long..........

how to weasel out a few more days............

call in sick (it could be the truth..... if you're sick of working), call in dead (gonna be hard to justify this one), call in toxic (alcohol poisoning counts), call in happy (happy to be in Baja and need a few more days)....................

go for the longer trip!:smug:

thanks for all the feedback.........now leaning towards Santo Tomas area

Yeah, David, the woman there posted signs for rooms for rent and her comidas economicas. Her fish comes in (right now it's California sheephead) and she'll cook it however you like, with all the trimmings. She's on the left around on the water side of the large-ish house near all the pangas.

I haven't tried the churros locos ($20) yet, but if you can get a big plate full of great food with a beer for $50, they're probably pretty good too. All the fishermen seem to stop in for a bite to eat.

And yeah, that's the place, Punta Baja west of El Rosario, although your picture seems to be a tad dated...
