I asked and I have received. Great input and very helpful in our planning, very helpful. It is a pleasure to read the whys of your choices. So much
Baja and we do have time. We will be in our 24' motor home with solar.

July through October in Bahia Asunción. November-June, La Paz (et-al).
BA because fishing is great and weather is mild (plus Shari & Juan/guests are wild). La Paz (et-al) because the weather is warm, fishing and
kayaking are superb! Plus hang out with Osprey in La Ribera.

Excellent point!.... But, for me, overall, I still like October/November for most parts of Baja.
Ah, and on second thought, what coast? Sea of Cortez or the Pacific Ocean. Makes a big difference.
Will be in Ensenada this weekend... can't wait.

I'm with the October crowd since I spend most of my time on the Cortez. Water is still nice for swimming, fishing is still pretty good, not too hot
or humid and little wind. Just have to come up with a good excuse to pull the kids out of school so we can't go then as often as we would like.

San Felipe Shrimp Festival, usually the first weekend in November. When I was still of the working class, having to beg for time off, I used to head
to Cabo in November for Marlin fishing.

My favorite months on the Cortez side are October/November and February/March. The Sea is often glassy, weather nicely warm... migrating birds and
whales to be enjoyed, Canaval in La Paz.... and last but certainly not least - during those months I find the light at its absolute best for
photography.

Without question, August and September. I come for the fishing and heat, which go hand-in-hand. I spend my time mostly LA Bay and Mulege.

I always liked to plan my trips to the North/central pacific side for right after labor day. it's not the dead of summer but still a shot at a south
swell, and excellent fishing.

My favorite time to come to Baja is anytime these fish are not available in these places:
salmon in Oregon or Alaska
walleyes in Saskatchewan and Minnesota
smallmouth in Quetico Canoe Wilderness
artic char in NWT
lake trout in Manitoba
rainbows in Lake Illiama
grayling along Al-Can Highway
largemouth in San Diego lakes
..and best of all..this fish..
poker chumps like htgfool..hee, hee..
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Give me a shout out when you are in Oregon, the salmon are indeed here. Did you know that we have walleye to 18 pounds in the Columbia? My personal
record is 10# out of The Dalles. The smallmouth off the John Day run to five pounds. I will sample the Grayling next spring.
I have caught some very nice fish right in front of your home many years ago, when the highway was first built, I camped where you built your palapa!
You eat the heart of the water melon indeed amigo! I hope you keep posting your wonderful photos and travel logs. You are one of my Baja Heros!!
How do you keep 'em back on the farm once they have seen Conception?

Iflyfish...my casa was started iin 1970 and completed in 1971..a couple years before the pavement crews appeared for the Baja Road. Glad you enjoyed
our little palapa in the front yard!
The fishing on my seawall was outstanding in those days. I could easily cast to 40-50 lb roosters trashing baitschools in the shallows, pompano,
snapper, snook, and all were on our menu back in the day. All within 100ft of your morning coffee on the patio. 
The farms in ND now are all corporatiions owned by jetsetters...people like Don Jorge.
