Baja Report

I finally returned to Baja after 15 years and had some great kayak fishing. I helped a friend transport a travel trailer to Punto Abre Ojos and had 2 days of fishing before we had to head home. The locals told us the fishing in the ocean was pretty slow so we concentrated on the estuary south of town. We were right in the middle of the neap tides so conditions were poor with little current moving but we still found plenty of fish willing to bite. We had a fun bite on bass, corvina, small halibut, and even some small bromm tail grouper. Getting those grouper out of the mangrove roots is just a war. I managed 2 small ones and just got detroyed by a few larger models. Kayaking through the mangrove lined channels was sweet with lots of life to see. I can't wait to get back down there. I'm having some difficulty posting photos but will try again later. Mike

Sounds like a good time for sure!. That estuary is very cool. Do you need to have that new permit to fish there now?. The mangroves in Mag Bay are awesome too. Gotta have spectra to get those grouper out! Alot easier from a boat also...

Amazing place! I fished that estuary two days in September and caught some of the same species but we also caught some small halibut as well.......never saw another person otw. The locals were calling it slow while we were there but they were referring to yellowfin, wahoo and other fish that migrate into those waters.....in the meantime we were sitting on top of schools of visible yt out on the reefs in the ocean with the occassional grouper and tons of big bonito
