Full moon
 
9/5-9/11. (the images are clickables). One of the most respected panga captains in Baja told me that the wsb spawn and bite more aggressively during the full moon so I went down to test it out.......nothing but bonies. Real fishy pre-dawn and then it would die with the sunrise. Beautiful weather so hot I was slipping into the water to cool off.
I explored the other side of San Quintin Bay (pic #1) and found a small fishing village with a protected launch area, the swell was 4-6 that day and not a breaker there. It's a 3 mile paddle to Isla San Martin (in the distance) for a possible over nighter....next summer. Incredible scenery with the red steam vents, estuary and volcanoes (#3).
#2...birds working the ramp area at Campo Costa Rica and #4 the clams I dug there.
From the ramp and with the afternoon low tide, I was able to drive on the beach some 20 miles south from one beautiful virgin cove (there are no inhabitants along this stretch) to the next collecting clams and mussels along the way.

Nice pics and report. Sorry you didn't get into the croakers. You know, that pic of the clams got me thinking, ever use them as bait? It's my opinion that clam is right behind squid as the universal bait. There's not much in the ocean that won't eat a nice juicy clam belly, given the chance. Hmmm, next time I'm down there I may have to try some of my old striper chumming techniques. The juice from fresh shucked clams was one of the best ways to attract them.

The locals use them for surf fishing but I don't see why they wouldn't attract the big ones.

Killer photos. Personally I'll never manage to get a shot of a boil like that - the need to cast is reflexive. Good size bones too.

Hey Chris, I got a kick out of your sig.

Nice pics. I think I saw you leaving the Socorro beer mart Friday around 7pm. I was headed south.
