The Final Plan
Okay, here's how it's going down.
5-21 Depart Lax 11:50 arive Lap at 2:30. Pick up car. $25/day Drive to store for supplies. Mostly ice and beer. Drive to secret location motel.
$39/night. Drink beer on beach and have dinner.
5-22. Up early for fishing. Beachfront pickup by expert captain in 22 panga. $130/DAY. Drink beer and catch fish until my arms fall off. Back to
beach. Help fillet and bag the fish. Hit the shower and airconditioning.
Find a cool shady place for lunch and a beer. Go to sleep very early.
5-23 repeat 5-22... or maybe not.
5-24 Play on the beach until noon and head to the airport.
At Lax at 4:30. It's a saturday so no traffic home on the freeway. I hope.
So about $750 including air and 1 day fishing.
I figure I'll spend about $1000.
Or probably about $100 per fish. But totally worth it!

Sounds like a great whirlwind escape. If you don't have to be home for an other day you may be able to get one more day in if you take a taxi instead
of renting a car for about the same $. Maybe the hotel knows a good driver and or has a pickup service? Maybe a rich Nomad with a waterfront estate
and maid service would offer to put you up  One can always dream!
Have fun

Buck - if you have a grand to spend on 1-2 days fishin' , maybe only one day, you need to just fly to Mulege from SD (or PHX cheaper) in my bird,
you'll get 3 nites hotel, won't need a car and can fish 2 days guaranteed.
plus enjoy the ambiance of a small village, cool little bars, and airconditioned room with pool bar, other anglers and baja nutz hanging about, no big
airport hassles.............
but either way enjoy it and have fun.

I could skip the car and save a few bucks but not much. I like having the car.
I really don't think this trip can be done much cheaper.

I hope you are charging it all on your "frequent flyer" card.
