When do the ghosts return to the Punta Banda area? I know that they like the springtime and I'm willing to abide by their schedule! I want to know
when they might USUALLY arrive so that we can drag our tin soldier down and haul a few back home.
I can find my way around bdoutdoors.com and such, but figger this place needs a section for fisher-peeps who wanna stretch some fish lips! anyone in
for a quick trip?

Woodrow,
WSb in the area you're interested in is kind of a a rarity and harder to predict than other less pressured areas.
A little further drive and a a little more time will increase your chances.
You probably already know what I'd reco but U2 for FI

Dude. you are in B F E, fish when you can for what you can.
Me, I got northern Baja yesterday at overhead and off shore.
Tube party, not bad for a soul in the 909.
I wish you could surf as much as me... I bet you do to...

When the squid return, the WSB will follow. Best bet is the Ensenada fish market. If they have it for sale, ask where it came from. If they say
somewhere far away, just buy a fish and save your time.
Last year I couldn`t find the squid and caught ZERO WSB. Year before, found the squid and got 6 WSB. That was in July.

My worker, Vicente, runs the third skiff for Ivan Villarino and I'll look into the WSB situation. Usually, when they make a run, I hear about it
immediatly. All the local boys get in the water and the whole town hears of their catch.

mexfish.com is no longer an active site however they used to post a weekly fish report for almost everywhere in Baja. The good news is they still have
all of those reports archived on the site. Just look at past year's reports for the area of interest to get a feeling for when what species typically
have shown up in the past.

I'd go. Depends exactly when . . .

I'd be down to go! I've always heard Lee Moreno? in Camalu is the guy to go with for big WSB.... Not sure of the season, I thought Sept/Oct was a good
time?

Lings are a better table fare than either halibut or WSB. In my opinion, that is.
