Ensenada surf fishing spots?
Having moved to Ensenada five months ago and being an avid salt water fisherman, I'm trying to find some local "spots" where I can fish from shore AND
have a decent opportunity to stretch my line. Been to Boogies tackle store a few times and spoke with Alfredo but he wasn't able to offer any help.
(though he did offer to set me up with a charter or a day trip on a party boat)
Any ideas?
Just do it!

That's a fact. Vehicle security is definately on my mind now a days. Almost equal in importance though, would be a good taco stand, close by, say
within walking distance. Chased down with a ice cold Pacifico, uuuuummmmmmmm good!
I do realize that no one is really willing to divulge their secret spot(s), but please, just put me in the general area and I'll be a happy
camper.
Just do it!

Try El Faro Beach.Park and walk down the beach a bit towards the channel that flows out of Estero.We fished there a few weeks back and there were all
kinds of fish being caught,Corvina, Croaker, Halibut, sharks, rays and white sea bass.We fished with ghost shrimp but clams were working well also.
There are fish taco stands right up on the road also.

Hey Sally.....
Is that caged lion still at El Faro? If it is, BB1A should be warned not to get too close to the cage. That cat has a well practiced nasty habit.
It can pee in a straight line for thirty feet.........and will when given a moving target.

You are welcome beachbum1A. I have to tell you tho, we stayed at Estero and launched there, went way up into the channel by El Faro, and drifted with
the current back down into the bay of Estero.There were many fisherpeople on the beach right there at the mouth catching LOTS of fish, off the
beach.Try to get it on the ebb tide or just as the tide starts to change.Good idea to get a tide chart from the local charter place maybe.As far as El
Faro goes, I thought that it may be cheaper than paying to park at Estero Beach, and an easy walk down the beach.We did not visit there (El Faro) this
last trip and I have NO idea if Leo is still there or not.(DENNIS)The fish would not bite on on any lures or squigglies, but loved the clams and
ghostshrimp. Good luck and give us a report please! (another thought) If you want, you can pay to park at Estero for the day, make a whole day of it,
catch some fish right off the wall in front of the Restaurant or the point, and sit on the veranda of the bar, overlooking the bay after fishing(or
during and after) and have some good Margies or cold cervesas!The food was awesome when we were there also.

Pabloff prints up tide charts every year and gives them out at the office of La Joya Beach Camp. Like Sally says lots of fish at the boca de estero.
You can also fish the entire sand spit at sunset for a variety of species. If you pay the twenty pesos to go out to the end of punta banda that is
where the best fishing from shore is to be had. Ever catch a big bonita from shore?

I forget what at what kilometer , but before you enter
Ensenada from the north there used to be/ still is? a fishing tackle store on your right had side. The store was faily well stocked. next door was an
empty lot and then a rather large
house of recent construcion. The beach area between
the two structures is just a short walk down a small incline.
I have caught many good sized calico bass using cut bait and artifical lures. Does any one remember the name of that
tackle shop and if it is still in business. there used to be pangas and i think maybe a whalebone or two on the dirt
parking lot next to them. It was a light yellow cinderblock
buiding.

Hey Minnow, where would one go to the end of PB and catch a fish from shore? Last I looked, it is all rocks, and large, not easy to get to on foot.
Also, to get to the "sand spit", you need a boat!No mido, it is all in the same location and the fish are definatley there! I have never caught a
Bonita from shore, but did a YT at Juncalito many years ago.What a thrill of a lifetime! Wait, I just re-read your post. You said 20 pesos to hire a
panga to go to the end of PB and fish from shore.Now I am confused.Splain por favor! How does that work?????

There is a road out to the tip of punta banda. They charge 20 pesos to go out there. It is located just at the top of the grade out to la bufadora.
This is the favorite spost of the locals, and the fishing is very good. On weekends there is probably 20 people out there.
They will let you through the gate out to the sand spit. Park at the boat ramp and walk over to the beach.

Boy, a lot to look at!
Vacaenbaja; do not think that tackle store is still in business but might be able to place the location from your description, Thanks.
Minnow certainly doesn't live in LV fulltime cause you have far too much local information! haha And I will go out there during a weekday and check it
out.
"You can also fish the entire sand spit at sunset for a variety of species." Do you have to pass through the security gate (s) to get
out there? Is that a problem?
Thanks
Just do it!

beachbum: when you go to the spit, tell the guard that you are going to the beach, no problem. instead of going to the boat ramp on the right, drive
past the hotel and you will find a parking area on the right. cross the dunes to the beach.
minnow: how is the road to the point? if nobody is at the house to pay do you continue on? after the right turn, the road curves down and out of view,
i haven't made it past that point. is it steep?

If you have not been out to the tip of Punta Banda lately you need to. They are building Multi Million dollar houses out there complete with their
own launch ramp. You have to see it to believe it. The road has been newly graded also. If you want to take a boat ride out there I have a friend
who is always looking for fishing partners. His name is Steve Meling. Sound familiar. He is a great guy. To find him just stop by his ferreteria
in Chapultepec. It is on the way to Estero Beach hotel. It is called El Vado. When you come to the Vado it is on the left. Not the one on the
corner. Tell him Tom sent you. Also, if you get in trouble with the "law" in that area he is the one to talk to. He is best friends with the chief
of police.
