San Francisquito info
Hello Nomads,
I'm looking at go to SF for the first time in the first couple of weeks of this oct. and I'm looking for some info. I will be
driving a lifted f-250 4x4 with a shell to sleep in and I will be fishing out of my kayak and on the shoreline. I will bring the normal tackle that I
use for the sea of cortez. kroc's, heavy and lite iron, rapala's, plastic's, top water and some gear for live bait. I will top off the fuel and ice
in Bola.
Some of the things I curious about is :
camping ( can you camp anywhere there's not a private property sign?)
where is the best fishin from shore or the kayak,what should I exspect to catch in next few weeks, whats the hot lure.
photos
I would like to catch a roosterfish. Are they in the area? how do you catch the mullet or what other bait would I use.
I guess I'm getting excited and I looking to get even more pumped up.
I will have my baja travel companion. A large rotti/hound dog mix (holly)
I appreciate any help I can get
Thanks
Steve

If you are going on the road from Bahia Los Angeles, be sure and stop in San Rafael for a couple of days...great fishing, quiet.
It is one of the favorite campsites that we have ever visited.
What is the guys name who lives there....he is such a nice person.
He will tell you where to camp and if you can drive down the beach a ways there is a really secluded site. He does not intrude on you at all. Really
a cool dude. Take advantage of his local knowledge
edited to add
We had cabrillo for breakfast both mornings we were there...yummy

Bajajudy,
His name is Pancho and you are right on. He's a great guy and San Rafael is a great place to stop in for a day or two.
Fishinsteve, if you don't already know, you'll come to a tire with a plastic bottle on the top, turn left there.

That's correct. Off the top of my head, Pancho's place is just a little over half way there.

Pancho is an awesome guy. I don't know SF that well and have only camped there once. But from what I recall, there wasn't many obvious places to
camp....but we arrived as the sun was going down and didn't look around too much. I did catch a couple of halibut the next morning on a few casts....
Please say hi to Pancho for me.

Blue 3/4 oz Krocodile casting from shore. I think that trip was in December. Plenty of good fishing south of Pancho's place for triggers, bass, etc.
Good halibut fishing from the beach. There is also a back bay with plenty of fish as well.
Have a great time and make sure to post a report.

Dont think you will have much luck on the roosters (pez gallo) they are around but not in great numbers. Rooster zone dosnt really start untill quite
a bit farther down. The only way to catch mullet that I know of is with a cast net. You have the right idea...krocs, rapalas, plastics and live bait
if it is around (make sure to bring some sabikis to catch macs with). There is a small operation there and you can camp or stay in one of the cabanas
and should be able to buy beer and ice and gas there also. The shoreline is loaded with halibut, triggers, bass and the yellow tail bite there can be
pretty hot, Oct is kinda late in the season though. I have heard of yellow tail being caught from shore in SF. You can expect the fishing to be very
similar to BOLA. Long drive and its a a Rough road, make sure you have a spare or two! Check the place out on google earth, it will give you the lay
of the land and surrounding waters.
Work is just something I do to keep me buzy between baja trips!

fishinsteve,
Just to be on the safe side, take enough ice and beer to last you, and enough fuel to make it back to Bahia from PSF. Pancho also would appreciate a
six pack of Tecate as well as a gallon of drinking water.
Check your u2u also.
