surf fishing Bahia de Concepcion
I'm just curious. I often surf fish (with pretty good success) the Pacific Ocean side of Baja but seldom see anyone fishing from the beach at
Santispac etc. Has anybody had any luck "surf" fishing the beaches around Santispac? If people do beach fish Santispac do they use bait or lures?

absinvestor, It's barren, a few small rays and needle fish here and there. Might
be some fish on the east side of the bay?

Surf fishing has always been my passion but in recent years around Punta Chivato I've really lost my enthusiasm. I suspect the Bahia Concepcion is
much the same. There are still days when I can catch something but it seems the net boats are pounding the same areas over and over. Even the
snorkelers are commenting on how few colorful reef fish they are seeing now. There were 3 net boats go out this morning from our small fish camp. I
can only imagine how many go out everyday from Mulege.
Edit:
I use Krocs, Castmasters, Hopkins, scampi type plastics & hard baits (rapala types). Trigger fish will get to the bait before other fish.

Try to fish around the Punta Prieta n the East side pf BC...I've caught dinner cabrilla there many times...And yes you need a boat...Watch for
afternoon winds if your launch is small...Squid Strips work well as well as white scampi...Buenaos Suerte...Lalo

This video has been around before. But, it is very appropriate for this thread.
Shore fishing the Sea of Cortez, in 1952~ WOW
Just getting there was quite an adventure. Then, the shore fishing was fantastic... check it out if you have not seen this.

The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

The Dead Sea - Bay of Conception
If I posted the photos of all the great fishing I have had in the Bay of
Conception during the 60's, 70's, and part of the 80's...
... it would make you sick to see what it has become today. Very, very sad.
Perhaps it would be a wake-up call...to what the future brings unless we change it?
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PANGUERO NETTING AND LARGER COMMERCIALS DRAGGING!
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Right now, they're doing to Punta Chivato what they have done to Conception. Refer to Russ' reports of the net boats out of the fishcamp each day and
the pics he had of the nets in the estuary, and right in front of the hotel. Soon, all any of us will have left will be memories and photos of "back
in the day". I wish there was something we could do.
