Fly Fish Baja

Hi Folks,

Wow, what a great fishing week. It’s been too much fun chasing the inshore species.

We have had great action and variety. One moment you have sierra mackerel chasing your fly, then next cast is a school of roosterfish, and then the next cast it’s a 30 lb cubera snapper. It just can’t get any better than this.

Ask Dan Dreyer from Payson, Az; Dan was out fly fishing the other day and caught 18 roosterfish, multiple jacks and sierra mackerel, and 4 cubera snappers, one pig was well over 30 lbs. Dan said, the action was non stop all day, and the big cubera made it the best day ever!

The offshore fishing has been mixed results, we had a few great days of yellowfin fishing, but the tuna boats decided that Cabo was its next fishing grounds, so for a week straight they were fishing within sight of the marina. Talk about being pissed, the whole fishing community was up in arms, but the Mexican Government considers Tuna to be a commercial fish, that means that the tuna boats can fish where they please.

The striped marlin fishing has been pretty consistent, with one to three fish a day on light tackle. The fish are pretty spread out all over the place, but we have been finding some big 150# plus fish close to shore, sometimes only ½ mile offshore.

The dorado are here and there and expect to catch a few small fish while trolling for marlin.

Camping trips- I will be adding camping trips up the Pacific. These are places I have fished over the last fifteen years, that get only a small amount of pressure from a few local fisherman. We will be going “outback”, with little or no contact with the outside world. Expect to catch snook, corbina’s, sea bass, snappers, and other fun inshore fish on the fly and spinning gear. I will also have some Kayaks for fooling around in the estuary’s. The trips will be 3 to 6 fishing days in length. The trips will be from September through the end of October. I will also be doing at least one Mag bay trip with guests. If you have any interest, please email me.

Most of you know that Gisel and I got into the Real Estate business a few years ago. We have been doing well with the strong market down here, and it’s been a lot of fun.
