Any fishing reports from Santa Rosalia?
My grandpa and I are looking to head down to his place in Santa Rosalia in the next couple weeks. I would love to hear how the fishing is? Is there
any bait? Are the Dorado in? Any other info would be great. Thanks!

No reports but some of the best Dorado fishing in the summer that I can remember. I think it doesn't experience the pressure that other cities like
Loreto and La Paz incur. Yellowtail fishing in the winter at the 110 (N end of San Marcos) is typically pretty good.

When you get there check in at San Lucas Cove RV park, ask for Craig... if he's there, tell him I sent you.
Maddafact, ask Rene or Janine at the restaurant, they'll be helpful also.

Check Bloodydecks Baja.
It looks like wideopen Dorado and Yellowtail between BOLA and Loreto.
Not paying attention farther south. Only because it 's better and I don't what to make myself even more fishcrazy.
Epic season everywhere right now. Just go fishing.

The road into Punta Chivato is as good as it has ever been if you have the time. Local ground fishing is pretty good but dorado scarce. most go to San
Marcos Isl. from here so San Lucas is good bet. It's been windy lately and afternoon winds around 15mph are normal. Hot too at close to 90º.

I last stayed in the San Lucas Cove campground in June of 2016. I decided it would be my last trip. There was no bait. Trying to make bait near the
cactus outside the cove was impossible, and this appeared to be the case all the way north to Santa Rosalia. The locals were getting bait at 300 feet,
a ridiculous task that cost a tangled rig on every cast. The reason: trawlers. Though it is illegal for trawlers to work the Craig Channel between
Isla San Marcos and the shore, they were there in numbers, and you could hear them and see their lights at night. The shoreline has been denuded of
all small fish. The fleet of local fishermen you would in years past find on the reefs at the north tip of the island fishing for yellowtail were not
there. My next trip will be to L.A. Bay.

RabAye, I wintered for four years, six months or more at a time at SLC. The trawlers and local netters were a constant menace every year, and the
old-timers were always lamenting the destruction of the San Marcos aea fisheries. Again, as all over Baja knows there's rampant disregard for
protecting natural recourses and blatant over-fishing (other than a few 'sanctuary areas' with cooperativo/vigilancia watch initiatives. All this in
eye-sight of a maritime University on the bluffs just south of Sta. R.
I think you'll find BdeLA in the same predicament when you go there. The days (daze?) of stellar fishing in the entire SOC are D-U-N, done. However,
this is two years later and sounds like the 'catch is on', at least maybe anyway. However, will never be the same as it used to be back in The Day.
"Catch as catch-can" seems to be the norm now.

Ok, I have always wanted to fish there, and now I will! Can't be decimated more than Gonzaga Bay. The ocean there is a ghost town due to excessive
netting. Very sad

Thanks to the paving of the road. I wonder if the people who make these highway decisions consider the devastation they'll bring about before
deciding.

I think "excessive netting" in the Gonzaga area has been going on for a long time. A lot longer than the pavement even to Puertecitos.

Depends what you mean "excessive". A rapid access to the market by pavement changed everything. It's logical if you think about it Hook. It's cheaper
to get there by car than by boat and the fish gets to market in better condition. All of which puts greater pressure on the fishery.
Let me ask you this Hook. Calamajjue is maybe 50 miles down the coast that's reachable by a dirt road that's like the old Gonzaga road (even better).
How would you compare the fishery there with that near Gonzaga? Or compare Gonzaga to anything between Gonaga and BOLA.

Even today, some of the fishing fleet come over from Guymas and other mainland ports!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
