We ran down for a short President's Day trip to Bahia De Los Angeles and get out of the Rain. Total (4) four anglers, left San Diego Saturday
morning.
Arrived at Rueben Daggett's Camp at around 2:30 PM. Roads ok, inspections were more than usual (4) and there were about 5 areas of flash flood waters
crossing the road (1-2 feet deep). The Mexican Gov is doing an excellent job of keeping that road healthy, saw crews working Sat and Mon covering
potholes, etc. At one point there was a guy standing in the middle of the road with a flag on the stretch between SQ and Santa Rosalia warning
drivers of a 4' sinkhole. On the way back, it was already repaired.
Fished Sat morning South of Bahia at the Guadalupe Reef area. We fished in 200-300 feet of 59 to 60 degree water, jigs only and boated 22 Yellowtail.
The fish were 15 to 20 lbs, most on chrome/green sardine megabait and the 6x white with yellow/green was the hot item. These fish are not line shy
and we farmed at least half a dozen. Chased birds, at one point seeing an area of boils 30 yards wide while all five were hooked up with fish. Epic
BOLA day. Even though Ruben was down with the flu, he still did his best and filled the boat with fish. We headed back at 12:30 not because they
were not biting, but because we had no more room on the boat filling the bait tank with YT.
Great Day, headed back into the Rain, no major events other than the annoying checkpoints and their bs inspection. Everything is very green, lots of
life and animal activity based on the number of birds munching on rabbits flattend by trucks...Never seen it so green. Lots of that nice red mexican
mud to go around.
Need to go down and stay longer next time. Everyone expects Bola to be busy for Spring Break. Stopped and saw Doc, he was burning up the remants of
his last boat, doing his normal thing.
Tight lines

Sounds like you had a great time fishing Sunday. No bait and you still killed them.
Was bait hard to get, or do you prefer Jigging?
