PUNTA BANDA, BABY!!!

Heading down to punta Banda next week and was wondering if anyone can give me some feedback on the fishing there.... I've fished la bocana in santo Tomas in the past (panga) and noticed that the winds can get pretty heavy... Does it get like that at punta Banda? I will be camping with the family and will be fishing thru vonnys..... Had to leave the yak behind. I will be taking the following set ups:

1. Avet jx 40 lbs mono
2. Avet sx mc 65 lbs spectra with 30 lbs fluoro leader
3. Daiwa sealine 20 with straight 30 lbs spectra

Any other suggestions on what other setups I will need? Heard the calicos get pretty crazy...

Any suggestions on tackle will be greatly appreciated
Thanks guys...

I used to fish Todos Santos quite a bit back in the days, based on my experience your gear should be OK. The fish down south tend to fight a little harder than the ones up north, combine that with the seals that will go after every fish you hook and you're in for a hell of a ride.

When we fished there we also did quite a bit of rockfishing for sheepshead, ling cods and the usual vermillions, snappers, etc. Again, for whatever reason the fish down there were a little more agressive and gave us a run for our money. When I first started fishing Todos Santos and the surrounding areas I used gear similar to yours but as I got familiar with what the area was like I went to smaller gear and that made it funner (quoting my nephew).

Bring some extra squid and definately bring a squid jig(you never know). Also, use whole squid if you fish the bottom, the panga may have dead squid on board but they usually end up cutting it into really small peices, I prefer whole squid.

I will make sure to stop by seafood city and pick up 3 lbs of squid.... Im gonna stop by the market in ensenada and pick up a few items for ingredients and I'm sure i can score a few pounds of fresh dead squid.... Thanks man.... Hoping for the best....
