Surf fishing in early May
We finally got our trip planned and once again due to really great economy here in Oregon it's a budget trip. We are flying into Cabo and staying at a
friends beachhouse in Todos Santos in May for a couple weeks. I'm looking for advice on surf fishing or rock points etc... Last time we were there in
June and I caught a lot of Corvina right in front of the house and it was fun. I know there has to be a lot more options available and I am going to
bring a medium weight setup and a medium heavy, both will be spinning rigs. I am willing to travel around because we are renting a car but I'm
thinking as far north as La Paz, any recommendations? Ideas?

There's all kinds of fish on the Pacific side and Cortez side of Baja. I caught this rooster with a ranger tipped with a half beak that was chased up
on shore.( by the roosterfish)

What is a" half beak"...and don't say half of a whole beak!

I'm not for sure, for sure, but I think a half beak is a ballyhoo?

Don't worry I won't tell anyone about La Ribera Are thyere any good spots between
Todos and Cabo? We went to San Pedrito once and if I remember right there were some good rock outcroppings on either end, anybody fished there?

Mtgoat666- Can I fish the mangroves from the shore or do I need to hire a Panga? I'm not opposed to going out in a panga 1-2 times while were there i
just gotta keep the costs down. Would that be in San Carlos? Puerto Lopez Mateos?
