Baja Veterans - September Conditions

[Denis_Ruso]

So the days are getting nearer to my birthday trip. A few buddies and I will be down in the Gonzaga Bay area between Sept 2 through Sept 9th probably camping out at Papa Fernandez.

Can any of you long time border crossers give me idea of what to expect that time of year?

Species to in the area in early September?
Typical wind conditions for that time of year?

I'll be bringing my scuba gear and my freediving gear If anyone can recommend a good diving location. That part you can PM me.

Thanks as always.

Are you taking a compressor or are fills available down there?

No fills available anywhere around which is why the diving is so appealing to me. Explore a few spots.

My plan is to bring 4 full tanks and split them between my dive buddy. Just get 2 dives in and freedive/ kayak fish the rest of the time.

Good to know, thanks.

Over on BD I read a report that small dorado were beginning to show in LA Bay right now. By the time you go down they should have worked their way up to the Gonzaga area. Trolling feathers or rapalas will get them, along with most everything else pelagic.

It'll be hot as hell

Cabrilla, snapper, pulpo, bass, yelowtail, roosterfish, maybe doado and skipjack tune and jacks. Plus smaller species.

Dorado you say?? Now how do find these guys, trolling on the way to the island?

You can shower at the restaurant at less than $2.00 per person or if staying in camp I charge the guys $5.00 per week to use the shower and shitter. Water costs $25.00 for 250 gallons so I charge to cover that cost.

Oh that would be awesome, I'd gladly pay that for the week we would be down there.

We will absolutely keep that as an option. We picked Papa Fenandez tentatively figured we would figure more out once we got there and saw how crowded your place is.

Last time we came we stayed at Robs place so I'm a little unfamiliar on the etiquette of MakoBob's paradise.
