Were dragging the Trophy down with the camper for a month or so and plan on stopping at BOLA, Mulege, Loreto, Mag Bay, La Paz and Cabo. Any reports,
suggestions, ideas or invites would be very welcome.

The fishing has been very good here in the Pescadero/ Todos Santos area for Dorado, Wahoo, Tuna and Sierra. We have limited out every time we have
gone out.woody with a view - 12-1-2009 at 01:05 PM
i would like to invite myself to ride along!backninedan - 12-1-2009 at 01:22 PM
Went out yesterday and caught a mess of small to medium jurel and a very nice 30 pound dorado. These were caught off of the north face of coronado
island. Bait has been a bit iffy but with a little patience are available.

I hear that fishing is the best it's ever been and is expected to remain so for the next 7 or 8 days.castaway$ - 12-1-2009 at 02:21 PM

Good counsel, Mike.
Mag Bay is a good choice this time of year, since one can usually fish in the estero when the wind makes a trip outside imprudent. Over the past few
weeks snook have been on the bite inside, and wahoo outside on the ridge.
Here is Lopez Captain Ruben Duran with a 35 pound robalo he and Ken Alexander caught last week in the channel along the mangroves.

And, a 60 pound wahoo that came in the backdoor on Soledad. One of 25 caught in three days fishing outside.

heard the fishing in BOLA is good thou windy. FISHING ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE BIG ISLAND IS PRODUCING CABRIA AND SMALL YELLOWTAIL, ALLSO A FEW GROUPER
TO BE HAD. WEATHER SHOULD BE GOOD COMEING UP AS THE WEATHER OF CALIFORNIA WILL BE WET. GOOD LUCK.Santiago - 12-2-2009 at 07:54 AM
4baja: are you talking about the south side or the north side?castaway$ - 12-2-2009 at 12:03 PM
Cautioning about weather is always good advice. My main fishing grounds are in Oregon and we get some pretty nasty seas so I'm always watching and
cautious. One big differnace I've noticed between the Cortez and the Pacific (especially Oregon) is the lack of swell but the very potentially
dangerous wind waves, I really don't like taking one over the bow could be SOL in a matter of a minute with no Coasties to save your butt.24baja - 12-2-2009 at 12:34 PM
Have a very safe trip, have fun and give BOLA my love..I hope you catch alot of fish...wish I were going with you, it is too cold here in Grants Pass
with the ever present fog. We leave in 16 days for Singapore to visit my husbands Dad for xmas....should be a little warmer there then it is here.4baja - 12-2-2009 at 06:57 PM

In the Santa Rosalia area, the yellowtail fishing is a good as it has been for a long time. I keep very accurate records of catch rates and sizes, and
the fish from the last week and a half have been way over the top in terms of numbers and size. Here is a good picture of one of the 42 lb. fish we
manged to coax to the boat (translated as completely unwilling on the part of the fish).

Jim,
What is the model of that Avet reel in the picture?castaway$ - 12-3-2009 at 10:29 PM
Nice YT, planning a stop at mulege to hit Inez, Marcos and Tortuga if the wind gods allow.Pescador - 12-4-2009 at 07:48 AM

That is an HX5/2 which is my favorite Avet for yellowtail, tuna, and wahoo. I have it loaded with 80 lb Jerry Brown Hollow Spectra, and a topshot of
60 lb Berkley Big Game. I can pull 32 lbs. of drag and it is a real workhorse when dropped down in low gear.
Bloodydecks has a new report of the HX Raptor which is an HX, with beefed up drags, and magnetic cast control. This is definately on my short dream
list.
