Baja Report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

taggermike · 01-17-2011, 10:47 AM

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
