Mag Bay 2025! Nov. 11th-16th

[Ryan W]

We had so much fun on the Success last year out of San Carlos/Mag bay that I've booked another trip this year. We've got 2 open spots and would love to get some fresh faces in the group! The trip is really incredible for people who don't like boat rides or crowds. We get to fish the Ridge (absolutely phenomenal yellowfin/yellowtail fishing past several years) while taking absolutely zero boat rides while the sun is up. Capt. Cary and the crew are incredible and with only 6 people on a 60 foot boat, there's enough rail space for everyone! Bunks are nice and roomy.

We would be looking at $4700 per person for the 4.5 day trip (includes van, fuel surcharge, 50 lbs sealed fish, and tip). Only additional items would be fish cutting past 50 lbs ($1.75 per lb fish vacuum sealed) and panga fishing if weather is bad (probably $120 per person per day)

Itinerary:

Tues Nov 11th: Land in Loreto (flights from LAX,PHX,TIJ with connections). Van to San Carlos (3 hours). See sights of Baja! Board Success via Panga/Dock as tides permit. Dinner on boat 1st night. Depart for fishing grounds to arrive daylight wednesday.

Wed-Sat: Fish all day! We will hit all sorts of spots for marlin, tuna, wahoo, grouper, yellowtail - whatever wants to bite!!

Sunday morning: back to the dock at San Carlos with processed fish. Van to Loreto (3 hrs) and lunch/flight home.

We may fish the mangroves from a panga if the weather chases us off the ridge. Good option for a bad weather day, but we prefer to fish offshore if possible.

We usually bring a literal handful of tackle (a trolling lure, 2 wahoo bombs/surface iron/yoyos) but the boat supplies the vast majority of terminal tackle, rod, reels. Capt. Cary will be happy to bring down (and back!) things from San Diego when he leaves mid-october if you're local to SoCal. If not, we do just fine with bringing nothing but the clothes you'll wear.
