San Quintin in August
I'm heading to SQ at the end of July, 1st week in August. I couldn't get the boat
that I wanted to charter, so I'm going solo, hoping to pick up a mothership. If not, I'll probably just paddle out to some of the spots I believe are worth hitting. Is there anyone here that has already chartered a boat that needs another body on board? If so, please reply off list (PM me). |

THAT IS ONE LONG PADDLE IF YOU ARE STAYING AT THE OLD MILL. DID YOU TRY TO GET A PANGA? I ALWAYS USE PEDRO'S, CAPTIN HECTOR IS GREAT. LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED THE NUMBER.

I know the spot
If you are kayak fishing in SQ you want to fish these 2 areas. If you are fishing in the Bay, Do not launch fron the Old Mill Area. It is much easier to launch from the beach area know as playa de oro. from there it is an easy paddle accross the bay to an area in front of the oyster farm. drift that area for Halis and BSB. Bait is usually easy to find in that area as well. The other area you want to fish is a short drive south of SQ. It is a great spot for yellowtail and huge WSB as well as all you want sandbass and Calicos. It is the spot "he Mother of all Lamb was caught" There is a nice little concrete launch ramp there and the surf is usually not to large. For more info on this spot contact Adi or Brad They know it well.....

I'll be camping on the point July 27th thru the 31st. I'll probably be fishing solo since everyone else on the trip will be surfing.

Come on Art, it's not that bad. As long as you have a trusty local rescue swimmer on hand.

I Agree
It is quite the washing machine and should not be taken lightly.

Thanks to all for the info - I can handle the biggest surf - on my 6' 3" Rusty, but most know
how an eXtreme handles actual wave riding. When I was there I found some places that looked great for fish, but definitely not easily accessible by kayak due to distance from the launch or big surf areas. |

The best way to fish SQ and the entire area is the way Dave did it. Go to SQ, rent a panga and tell them what you want to do. Kelly of KM has yaks and knows that area best. He's also a surfer and will steer you away from any non-yak surf. SAn Martin, the 6spot and the 240 reef hold much more WSB, YT and Hali then the kelp along the shore. If the that were not true and the pangas would be there instead of at the island. The shore fishery falls prey to commercial netting.
The nets are another reason you have to be careful as they are sometimes set inside the kelp and roll in the surf. So, do your homework. Go with an experienced person. and always always always stop at the El Recreo taco stand in Maneadero - it's 1k south of the La Buf turn off. It's on the west side of the highway. Order the queso tacos 2 carne, 2 pastor and you will never look at another taco the same way. If you want a sit down breakfast "Jalisco" is 1/2k south of El Receo. West side of the mex1. |

Art, thanks for the eatery suggestions...
When I was there a few weeks ago, we stopped at a place (El Rodeo?)in SQ. When we saw the veterinarian next door, we opted for another eatery...as it turns out, it supposed to be the best place in town... |

I fished the ramp south of SQ 10 times from June last year to Feb. this year and made it out safely each time.....the largest swell was 8ft. at the bouy but this time of the year are usually ankle slappers.
