LA BAY fish camp report?
MY family has got 6 days and are looking for some beach camping (with some space between patrons or primitive campaing) and good fishing we can do our
of our inflatable boat. How is LA bay looking for YT or some DODOS?
If the fishing is any good I will b looking for a good spot to camp too.
Usually we have more time and camp at Putna chivato.

La Gringa at the far north end of the bay is great for beach boat launching, open camping (no facilities) and both sand and gravel beaches. There are
also spots on the outside of the bay, across from Smith Island. Here are some photos:

We like Archlon when in town. Camping is getting harder to find in BoLA.There will not be many folks in town. I would also consider Bahia las Animas
for camping too. Check Bloody decks and the Bay of LA board for fish reports.

Bahia Asuncion is about the same driving time as Punta Chivato. There are many places to camp either North or South. Getting a beach launch would be
questionable this time of year but some coves may be okay. Fishing from rocks or the beach this time of year can be flat out fantastic with corBina
and halibut both being in the surf. San Roque comes to mind 1st for boat launch and surf fishing. There are so many coves to fish over there you'd
really enjoy it. And you wouldn't have to but up with the heat but bring warm clothes.
edit: Campo Renee is worth a glance too

What I did not say is that this year I would like a shorter drive than PC since we only have 6 days. I see that people are saying that BOLA is HOT.
Is it hotter than Punta Chivato, if everything else is equal? We can take the heat of PC this time of year, so maybe we would be OK.
I was thinking of asuncion too but I want a shorter drive.

BOLA is hotter, in my experience. Too hot for tent camping, IMO.
If you are unfortunate enough to have the strong winds coming off the desert, you can see days around 110 and nights around 90-95. During those
periods it is less humid than Chivato, but it is still brutal.
It's getting to be the time of year when it's really nice along the Pacific side. Why not consider beach camping north of Santa Rosalillita? About the
same distance as BOLA. Others more familiar with the area might know if a beach launch is possible. How big is your inflatable?
Or, bring yaks and fish off the yaks and shore.

it isn't an issue to launch since the waves are flat this time of year. clams are plentiful for shore fishing. YT are around....

YOu could camp on the beach at Sta.Rosalillita which is closer than Asuncion by 4 hour, is nice and cool and a sweet little village. But take your own
food as there is only a couple small stores for staples. Not much swell right now so you could launch a boat probably by watching the locals launch
their pangas. Ask for Martin Arce...my husbands cousin and he will dial you in!
Let us know how you did!

Looks like TS Hernan could have something to say about that.

Another idea is Punta Morro Santa Domingo a little father south on the pacific side. There is a launch site use by the locals and a lagoon that runs
south for miles. It can get shallow at low tide. Read The Baja Catch for more info. The camping is on or just above the sand and the water stays
swallow for a long ways out. This is a yak fishman's heaven we love camping there this time of year. There will not be many others around.
Millers landing is another place that is cool this time of year. Both of these places most drive by and don't know they are missing.
I thought you were set on Bay of LA, I would go to the pacific side and go for the butts a YT just off shore this time of year.
I sure someone will post a map.

Now, you've done it. Hurricane David will be along, shortly, to chastise you for an image beyond the means of Nomads to display correctly!
Looks like The Hook could be bypassed......

What about Punta Baja? Maybe take our surfboards and leave the boat. fish from shore and surf. Any good camping there? I read that it can be
windy. I wonder if the surf is any good this time of year.
2 August is when we are going.

Hot! is so true this time of year at L.A. Bay but that is when the Dorado are around. La Gringa as DK said is a very primitive yet very accessible
and easily launched spot...but unless the surface YT are around or Dorado you won't really catch much to garner any excitement. but you could do
both...if La Gringa isn't working out take the relatively short drive to Santa Rosalillita and see what is shaking there? Las Animas is amazing as to
what you are looking for but you are adding a few hours of driving and last year the road to the turn off was pretty beat up...not 4X4 per se, but you
kind of wish you had it. If you are set up for primitive camping and you have a few extra hours, I would go for Las Animas...it is beautiful,
isolated, and the fishing can be excellent...bring the deet and water proof your camp at night from the coyotes (the real ones that is).

Yes we are set up for remote camping and I have 4WD. However, we are HEAVY. Trailer, Boat, gas, water, buggy, food, freezer, etc.. See pictures
below of last year at PC. In deep beach sand we get stuck with the slightest turn or up hill.
Las Animas looks perfect, although I read in my Baja Catch that there gets to be long stretches of really soft sand.

I could always go to LA bay - then with the buggy scope out Las animas. Although once we unload all of that crap we are generally not enthused about
moving.
