Just saying Hi

[Nickelplated]

Hi everyone, I'm a avid fisherman from St. George, UT. I usually go down to Baja, Mexico do surf fishing every year. I usually fish mostly for Corvina's down there.

Hi, I love Baja but usually drag a boat down.

Where do you guys normally fish in Baja??  I usually am in Southern Baja on the Sea of Cortez.  For years I used to fish mainly south of Los Barriles--which is s/o La Paz.  We would camp and fish out of Los Frailes which is s/o Cabo Pulmo.  Now I fish out of Bahia de Los Muertos or El Sargento--both of which are near Isla Cerralvo.  These are s/e of La Paz.  Boats at all these locations have to launched on the beach--there are no ramps!!

I like the Santa Roselea area but have fished Bahia de Los Muertos.  There is a fair ramp on the far left side of the beach at the bay of the dead by where they were building a bar the last time I was there.

I normally fish down by a small town called San Felipe on the Cortez side. It can be hit or miss at times. But, I had lot good days down there that keep me going back...

Welcome Nickelplated.

Lee,
There is a nice ramp at Los Muertos now and and a nice bar also..  When I first was there, you couldn't get within 1/4 mile of the beach without 4wd so we had to camp away from the beach area and we had to bring in our own "Pacifico".   When I fish out of there now, I usually don't use my own boat and go with a Mexican guide in his panga---they don't use the ramp.  Some gringos with larger boats do use it though.  Interestingly enough, I have never been to the bar either--I still bring my Pacifico.
I usually fish out of a place closer to my Baja home--El Sargento.  They are trying to build a ramp there, but I doubt if many of the locals will use it.  Depending on the time of year, etc they catch dorado, yellowtail, amberjack, marlin, wahoo and also many varieties of rock and shore fish.  At the "right" there are LOTS of dorado. I always enjoy talking to other Baja fishermen.

We got into some nice roosters toward the long sand point when we were there.  El Sargento looked like a nice place too.

Welcome.  My dad and a group of buddies used to trailer boats down cortez side of baja years ago.  Good fishing.  I'd like to fish that area sometime, but a boat ramp would be mandatory.

Welcome, NP --

Lots to learn here about keeping your gear ready for BAJA.

St.George is a neat looking area.  College there, I think?

Always stopped there on my way up to Panguitch, UT -- when deer hunting.

Best,

Fred
