Bahia De Los Angeles (Maps & Charts)
Hello Everyone,
I will be staying in BOLA from 7-2-04 to 7-10-04 and would like to know where I can find either maps or charts with the details that I hear people
talking about. I have the Baja California Almanac but it has little detail as far as the names of the fishing grounds. I keep hearing names like Las
Animas and several other points but I have no clue where they are. It would be nice to have a map of all the famous points Doc talks about on his
fish reports. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Also do you think the Dorado will be hitting in early July and if so what kind of outfit is best? Live bait or jigs?

Get the "Baja Catch" book. It has good info on fishing in BOLA and throughout Baja. Also get the "Sea of Cortez Charts-North" (San Felipe to Mulege').
Produced by "Fish-N-Map",303-421-5994. Any decent tackle shop in SoCal will have them.Don't know about Dorado in July-we always fish March or April.

Thanks for the info Almirante, according to the fish chart at the camp gecko web site the dorado are there in July. I noticed that or seems like the
yellow tail are hitting earlier than usual. At least the migrating yellows and I hope that it is the same case for the Dorado. Do you know if fish n

Charts
Alex:
you can get a fishing chart of the area from SQC co in barrio logan. It is a pretty good reference, although I found a couple of mistakes. It is
great for showing the reefs and depths.

Yep it's me I've already got my clam steamer packed. And I'm stocking up on
Wasbi and Ginger for Sushi (just in case anybody wants to share some fish.)

Thanks Big Al but I may sound like an idiott but I don't know what SQC is.
Debra, Juan is coming as well as my son. He could not let up on this opportunity. I am sure that we will catch fish that we can sashimim so bring
plenty of the wasabi, soy souce and rice.
Thanks

No it wasn't a typo and I am not afraid to admit it That shows you how much I
know about clams. The only thing I know for sure is I like to eat them.
4baja, thanks for the info, I will look in to it. I will try saveon tackle in Santa Fe springs.

That cooler of your's keeps things frozen right? Would you mind bringing along a couple of pounds of bacon (I will reimburse you) I should arrive on
the 30th.
Sounds like we have the makings of a Pot-Luck, how about the 4th.? I'll start the menu:
Debra: Clam Chowder, Sushi (providing I have fish)
Alex:
Anybody else?

I'm praying for a big irrigation, sod or lighting job soon, so the kids and I can be there! Last year was when we met Alex and Juan... Here's that
last two July 4th weeks I was in Bahia.
