Asuncion
I fished Asuncion last October, caught some nice yellow tail and yellow fin. Have they finished paving the road? I noticed in October that there
appeared to be a small hotel being constructed as you enter town does anyone know if it has being completed...
Thanks

buenos dias comandante...work on the road began last week again with another 6km I think being paved over the next 6 months...i heard...so there will
be nice new pavement by fishing season but not all the way to town yet...but probably next year they will finish the last stretch.
The hotel is yet another baja story of a nice construction being left half done. It was actually a big project 42 room! Several rumors indicate lack
of funding...investors backed out or something like that...maybe Antonio could buy it and put another Baja Cactus in!!

Who cares about the road when the fishing is so good?

What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

Fishing this last week included the one yellowtail but at least two late (humbolt?) squid and lots of bottom fish. Calicoes and halibut from the
shore. All in all a wonderful experience with local guides for a newbie to ocean fishing. Nice to have an alternative to high Sierra trout, now
that the salmon runs have gone critical.
Asuncion is a wonderful, relaxed and comfortable town. Great people, full and part time residents. I will count the days till I can get back.
I hope the paved road does not change the town too fast. I managed the road in a Pruis (47 mpg average Berkeley to Asuncion). The traction control
took care of the sand with some slowing down, driving the washboard was a bit more challenging but the POTHOLES in the paved portions of the road were
the tire busting risk. I dodged nearly everything but the topes in Guerro Negro scraped my bottom every time. So it is doable with even a small car
now, but perhaps not to an inexperienced offroad driver in a low clearance vehicle.
Also looking forward to getting back to do all the things I missed out on this time, kayaking, snorkeling and exploring the fossil beds. What geology
I could spend time on, was fascinating.
Thanks to Share, Juan and all the helpful, friendly residents.
