LA Bay fishing not that good right now. "but sure is pretty". Asuncion serf fishing right now is vary good. Stop in Guerrero Negro go see whales at
Ojo de Liebre then head to Asuncion. Then head down to La Bocana and fish the estuary. Then go to San Ignacio lagoon to see more whales then head
home. Not much really going on on the Sea of Cortez side this time of year and can be windy for days at a time right now. "but sure is pretty".
My wife and I made many of our trips without any plans just a few hints and ideas. That is the best way. Kept us going back again and again to check
out all the places we saw but couldnt stop at.
Have fun and be safe.

Impressive catch, BigOly. You got the Hasselhoff/Baywatch thing going on eh?

ddawson, You were fishing the same place I was. Just 8 or 9 years apart. I was fishing alone and my wife was watching from the Sol Mar. After
about an hour of fighting this fish(20lb line and about 3 feet of 60lb leader) and one of Jeff Clauson's Rangers, I had gathered an audience from the
bar. The surf really came up and I about drowned trying to revive the fish but it didn't make it. I'm so sorry for that but I gave it to the "crew"
that worked there so it didn't go to waste. A magical day of fishing. 3 or 4 roosters all over 30 pounds. Jacks up the ying yang and my arms were
about to fall off. Oh, and a sierra they weighed at the restaurant the guys said weighed 17 lbs! Gee maneeze. Almost a world record! Never saw
anything like it before or since. And did I say?? I was fishing all alone. |
BigOly, you're my hero. Catching that rooster on 20lb test combined with a decent sized swell is impressive to say the least. The day you have
described sounds amazing. A 17lb sierra is massive!
I too was staying at Solmar. My GF had wanted a nice hotel for New Years while on our camping vacation. I spent most of the day in the pool and in
the afternoon went down to fish. There was only one other guy (also a tourist) on the whole beach fishing. He and I both ended up catching similar
sized Jacks within a few minutes of each other creating a sizable crowd. Since it is winter we had almost zero swell to deal with. He kept his to
eat for dinner and I released mine.

Dawson......what kind of reel are you using???? |
I have a Shimano Spheros 5000 with upgraded drags. I know it's a bit small, but it worked well on this trip.
