Punta Francisquito, Baja

Thanx for sharing and gettin those pics up! I love it down there, I'll be there in a couple weeks myself.

I think that spotted cabrilla is a little baby gulf grouper. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Wow...just got to see the pics, ouch...bet it was a tough choice between staying longer and leaving.

I assume you had a little clam stew going there?

I am thinking I may need to make a trip down there, Utopia...

Think that is a grouper, by the squarish spots, cabrillas have more of a bar type pattern, could be wrong...

Regardless, thanks for the pics, I've got that itchin' again...

... you just reminded me, I need to finish my 'cisquito story. I am 90% done with a 'cisquito story/report from a trip over two years ago that has been sittin' around in my desk. What an amazing place. Those photos brought back memories and we have a lot of similar photos. We almost got sucked out to sea off the point there... not a fond memory and that was the last time I was really $h!tt!ing in my pants on a yak. The currents are what the fishing so good there, but also the thing that can literally kill you. Nice photos

Abreojos picks up a lot of south swell....Razors on the Yak anyone?

Few boats go out during the full moon. I camped near the light house at Abreojos and launched from there...this was in Dec. so there was no swell. A 30 min. paddle straight out puts you on a shallow rocky shoal for grouper...another 15 min. is a drop off to 100ft depth for black seabass, YT, dorado and yellowfin. La Bocana is a 20 min. drive north along the estuary....you can't launch from the mouth because of the strong tidal surges but there is a bay northwest of town. Check out mexfish.com...back issues 2006......nov. 27th...under "Baja California coast fishing". Send me your e-mail and I'll share some pics.
