The road is fine, just came all the way thru from Visciano thru B de LA and on to SF a couple days ago. Fishing in San Rafeal was off the hook using
Crocodiles but had to fish the rocks, nothing off the beach. Punta Final has some rocks you could try.

http://www.bigwatersedge.com has a post in the general discussion forum titled Gonzaga in September
And plenty of kayak fishing information with a search on their website

For 2 people, about 10 beers worth. 
In real time it's maybe 3 to 4 hours and San Rafeal is about 2 hours on the dirt south of there.

Lots O' Triggers for dinner. Fun on small krocs but bring some squid and smaller hooks if you need to make sure you land a few for ceviche. Rancho
Grande "usually" will have all the supplies you need. Red scampi plastics as well as the krocs can be great for Corvina. Though dated, Mexfish.com
will have some general information and you can scroll back through years past to see what has been caught during the time of year you'll be there.
Hopefully the Sierra will still be around. No cell phone service that I have ever heard of. You'll be off the grid...what a shame!!!!

I agree with the suggestions on using Krocodiles but I have been having a good bit of luck on the larger cabria and grouper on the deeper reefs out by
the island using Megabaits or Megabait look alikes. If you get the real Megabaits, change out the trebles because they are crap and will be
straightened very easily. Sorry I am away from my GPS right now or I would send you some numbers for a couple of these reefs. If you are at Campo
Beluga, there is a point just to the south ( inside the bay, not punta Final) that holds some nice cabria ant under the right conditions will
absolutely blow up on surface lures. Nothing better than cabria on the surface
good luck and watch the wind.

The PEMEX at Gonzaga usually has gas. The turn off from Hwy 1 to LA Bay there is a guy in a pickup with gas for sale if you need it. LA Bay has two
PEMEX stations. Puertecitos has a PEMEX but the guy is not always around, some say you may have to look for him. I suggest you make sure you are full
leaving San Felipe and if possible carry a full can just to be on the safe side.

I like Beluga myself. Pretty much the only place I stay, and since they built the cabanas, I tend to rent one of those every time. Not that camping
under the palapas isn't nice but the times I go there, the winds can be nasty and I find it impossible to cook outdoors under those conditions.
Showers and flush toilets are nice to have. No hot water but usually not frigid.

And...as far as gear if you did go to the Mexfish website and also checked out "The Baja Catch"...rebel fastracks are deadly in this area...just don't
net anything that you catch with these things...they are like cholla cactus on fish...add a net to that and you and your pliers have five minutes of
crazy slime trying to free that barracuda that you could care less about! When things are right they catch too many fish...but...that is better than
the opposite!

For snorkeling, there is a strip of islands about 8 miles to the north. If that's too far to paddle, you can trailer up the shore to several fish
camps that are as close as a mile or two from the islands. Stay away from Islas Lobos (aggressive sea lions). Otherwise, snorkeling and spear
fishing is quite good. You can also snorkel around the island in front of Alfonsina's, but the visibility is not usually that great, Lot's of fish
though. Isla San Luis has a large shallow reef off of the big point on the west side of the island. Fish camp Las Encatadas (spelling) get's you
really close.
El Grande Market (a mile or so from Alfonsina's) has basic food, beer, water...and there is a gas station there. There are several good restaurants in
the area, Alfonsina's being my favorite. They will cook up fish that you bring in, which is really convenient.
Expected catch, depending on how you fish, is triggers, sierra, corvina, cabrilla, grouper.....the usual suspects for shore fishing.
Best of luck, and have a great time!
