Thanks Jim! Does anyone know how the paddling is there? Is a mothership mandatory or can I manage if I time trips depending on tides and wind?

Are you asking what size sabiki may also land a wsb? Good luck with that!

size 6 sabikis will get your mackerals, any smaller finbaits you will want to use at least a 12. I usually use a 16. Another hint, if you opt to use the cheap sabikis with the small beads by the hook, snap the beads off with your needlenose. The beads hit the inside of small finbaits mouths and pops their mouths open before hook set when jigging.

Summer is going to sweltering, HOT. Most people fish offshore for dorado and marlin. I am considering a Fall trip down there.

I fish down in Kino but not in summer. The dorado are around but at least 20 miles out. Not a lot of fishing opportunities in close but the bay is fun to kayak. Lots of strong currents around Tiburon Island.

Okay, so, following the trail of posts from the link there is mention of seeting up trips from a mothership to fish down there. However, those posts are from 2006. Are those trips still running?

I don't know of any commercial guys. Mostly just locals going out to fish. Might find some pangas.

Thats too bad to hear about the fishing in the summertime. Would you recommend I check out some other spots further north or south? Also, I hear the tide goes waaayyyyy out, do you think I could paddle to any reefs or dropoffs from shore?
