grmph, I'd recommend the Pacific side. The fishing on the Sea of Cortez side? Been there. Not good.

I think it's still early at Asuncion for yellows and tuna. That should start in september. Whenever I've fished Asuncion in July and Aug - it's
calicos and halibut.

Hey Cypress......I must have missed what happened to you on the Sea of Cortez. Was it a REALLY BAD fishing trip? You are as predictable as Skeet. Left
wing/Right wing kind of knee jerk responses. The truth is in the middle. Lighten up.

maspacifico, Spent 4 months fishing down there. It was sad. Only being honest. Predictable? You bet! I'll tell it like it is.

Bummer. Makes me feel a little better about not getting a strike the two times I've been out this week. Where were you fishing?

Sorry for the hijack
I'm on the East Cape, south of Los Frailes. Lots of Dorado around three weeks ago, former Hurricane Andres sent 7 days of hard south wind and turned
the water cold and green. I've only been out three times since then and not done much. There are lots of roosterfish and jacks in close if that's what
you want.

I have a Fish'nDive at Loreto. I fish almost exclusively with jigs from it, near shore. Mostly small reef fish. It's usually a little scratchy, but I
get by. Mostly small cabrilla, but some decent barred pargo, hogfish, lots of ladyfish in the summer, maybe jack crevalle, tijereta (creole fish),
sometimes barrilete if I'm lucky, big squid (not recommended from kayaks, lol) some snappers... It's an especially good way to "species fish," in
other words, try to catch a lot of different species of fish, and not worry if they are small, not bragging size/type. But weird or ugly is good. 
Access is getting to be a problem. I use my panga more now.

Keep up the good work...but please..please let us infrequent visitors in on your method...Please. I had some (minor) success with calicos off San
Roque with a guide Shari hooked me up with( my first trip to Asuncion after many to the Cabo and Sea of Cortez)... We fished with two hook bait over
a heavy sinker...cast from the break zone to deeper water. Cool on a hot day...Best "luck ' wading way out into the surf to cast onto the line just
beyond the kelp line but near the rocks to one side or the other
Would have been much easier from a kayak outside the surf line.... Casting in as my bait was forced closer in with every wave while shore casting.
Still lots of fun, worth every minute and a change from high elevation Sierra Nevada Lakes and streams (above 3,000 meters...leaving again in four
weeks).
I got spoiled in Baja Asuncion. Devil take me, but yellow tail taste so much better than trout... even native cutthroats...Of course the number of
Canadians about and libations may have biased my judgment. I am willing to be biased again. And again....................

maspcifico, Was fishing the Mulege area, during the winter months. Attempting to catch bottom fish. Used cut bait and various lures. Some locations
had lots of small trigger fish.

Cypress the formula for sucess in Baja is as it is everywhere else is.........TxLxP=S
Timing x Location x Presention = Sucess
First you blew it on the timing,Location should have been good but for the timing,your presention obviously sucks but again for the timing!
I have found over the years timing is the most important,when its right everyone can get them even you
I told you to find a mentor did you do that? It takes a while to learn the water no matter your at,you thought you would down there and just
knock them out probably using the same methods you used in Priest River
A bad day on the gulf is better than a good day most anywhere else,one of my best trips was just two years ago at BOLA,there is always
something to fish for if the timing is close to being right But you must know how and thats your problem.
Experience catching shell=crackers will not help you in the gulf!!
Its a shame things didn,t work out better for you,you left just when it was warming up,but again its that timing thing!!
