Where to fish next?

For the Sea of Cortez you just need to plan around the windy season which i think is October through March. I'd just google it to make sure.

I went in mid October way back in 2007 for a spearfishing trip and we had to move a couple days around due to wind but the variety of fish was incredible.

We stayed with this company. https://www.palapasventana.com/ and they were great.

La Ventana still is one of my regular spots. It is a small beach town with no marina that gets swamped with wind surfers during the windy season.  To fish from a boat, you have to beach launch, or drive about half an hour to the launch ramp at Muertos (no marina here, either).  It is closer to Cerralvo island than La Paz- and often has better fishing, but is  more exposed to the wind.  The tour operators out of La Paz often have a Muertos launch option, but that adds a van ride of over an hour each way.

PJ hit it on the wind, but I would say that April is often  windy too. May-July is about the safest bet weather-wise- but it will usually start getting hot toward the end of June. Same as La Paz and Loreto.  Dorado, wahoo and billfish first start to show (as in a few are caught)  in the La Paz area (including La Ventana) sometime in May, with yellowfin Tuna more towards July, but every year is different.  In November, the water cools and it turns to Yellowtail, snapper and grouper season until May.  With the all the climate change, the seasons are less predictable, and the peak seasons have been shorter.

Like the rest of Baja, fishing in this area has declined a lot since 2007.
