OK, back home here in Ohio Meredith and I are very casual fisherpersons. Mostly farm ponds and rivers from the canoe with hook and bobber. We know
nothing about fishing from the beach in the ocean. So, would it be worthwhile for us to bring our rods in January when we ride down the coast, or
would be wasting our time? Talk to me.

On the Pacific. Yes. The Sea of Cortez? No.

Yes as in, yes that would be a waste of time on the Pacific side, or yes that would work on the Pacific side?

Worthwhile ??
If you are taking the beach route; YES !
Bring anything over 6lb for beach fishing on the Cortez.
But plan on breaking some line unless you have a 12-15 lb rig on the Pacific ! 
Also, maybe charter a panga along the way ??

The best part about fishing is sitting there doing absolutly nothing. All you need for that is your rods, reels and a box of Pacifico.

I have caught many interesting things from the beach...sitting there with my rod and fishing. South of San Felipe in the Sa Of Cortez. Loved it and
very relaxing. Some we ate and some we threw back such as the three stingrays I caught. My friend caught an eel also. Great fishing!!!!!!!!!!

on the east cape of baja the fishing from the beach in january can sometimes be fantastic for sierra and jack cravelle and other species...you'll need
a 8 1/2 foot rod and a reel that holds a good supply of 15# line...bring krocodile spoons in chrome and large...reel em back in really fast at
sunup...no problem....stay in hotel punta colorada for a magnificent time
