Rosarito (Mexico) Fishing.

[M4TT]

Hey guys,

So a person in my office mentioned to me today that her cousin has a beach house in Rosarito that they'd rent out dirt cheap. I was wondering, before i even ask her, how's the fishing down there?

From what i've seen on here, it seems like people tend to go a big further south..

All help is greatly appreciated.

I have fished by Ensenada (Punta Banda) off the beach and didnt catch squat, then a day later I see the reason, at night bottom trawler came in right by shore and scooped up everything in its path. (apparently that is a regular occurrence) The Estuary behind punta banda had a bunch of spotties though. I too was surprised by the cost of beach houses in Mexico, go a few miles further south from Rosarita and the home we rented slept 8 and cost $125/ night same beach as Mission Beach or OB, just like 95% less people. Plus you can have bonfires or drink out of bottles, whatever you want. We love Baja !!

wow..could it be because you fished so close to shore? i figured i'd be going out in open water to target yellows & tuna.

Right now, the mass amount of yellows the 3/4 and 1.5 day boats have been catching right is in front of Rosarito 3-4 miles out off from the beach. HUGE mass of fish. Was out there this past weekend. Im sure they'll be making their way more North. Bluefin aren't too far away from that spot either...
