From Baja Sur Mexico

[marcortez]

Hello out there in cyberland.

New to this board and looking forward to learning by doing.
No problems so far with the reels and I hope it stays that way.

Accurate, Avet, Penn and Daiwa are used here on Cal Star, a Penn Carnage, a couple of Lamiglas inshore rods and a couple of United Composite models.

Yellowtail in the winter and spring, and then it all changes in the summer to pelagics, with Dorado getting top billing around these parts.
Very few YFT make it up the Sea this far and now and again a Wahoo will show up in the fall.

I am in Loreto...north of La Paz.
Settled down here 14 years ago to escape the maddening SoCal life.
I live here year round and am homeless on the "other" side.
Born and raised in Sandy Eggo.

Marco,
I fish Loreto 2 times a year when I can. My father lives in Tripui at Puerto Escondido, maybe we have seen each other on the water. I know a few people in town but not many, like Rick Hill, who gives the Loreto fishing reports to Gary Graham for the Baja Bytes reports, Fransisco "Cuate" Fernandez and Cuate can fish, Pam with the red boat and had the pie shop who moved away a couple of years ago, everyone knows that boat.

Can't wait to get back and have tacos at El Rey Del Taco and maybe catch a few fish if I'm lucky.

Sure I know that boat, but I believe the owners name was Paulette. She and her partner had a nice bed and breakfast along the beach....in an area we locals call the "gold coast"....

My boat is a 22' Arca panga. Made in La Paz in 1985. An original.
See these before and after pics.
I literally dragged it out of an arroyo and totally refurbished it, including a new 75hp Yamaha
Previously I had a 22' Davis Cortez.....too many "systems" for my liking, so I "downsized" to this panga and enjoy the simplicity much more, plus I can launch/retrieve solo.

Those pangas are indestructible.  You did a great job Marco.  Dominick
