The beach at Abreojos faces south so no winter swell and the prevailing nw afternoon winds are offshore.
Campsite at Abreojos.

The mouth of the estuary at La Bocana.
Osprey nesting everywhere.
Air temp. 82....water 70...released an 80 lb. BSB the first day 1 1/2 miles out....second day too windy so worked inside for cabrilla (a faded version of calico...sweet meat). Third day worked shallow shoal for grouper out to 90ft. depth and as I started paddling in, yellowfin boiled and jumped just off my bow.....fanned the kroc and trolled rapala por nada (I learned later than a boater landed 4 YF and 2 dorado near me on rapala). No biggie....now I know where they are and as long as the weather holds out.
Next day came the wind....2 days later the cold. The next 5 days I waited out the weather and except for a couple early mornings in the estuary for spotted and small halibut, I never made it back offshore. The local fisherman said it was wide open YT out of the boca but I only yak fish. The variety of species available in just a 10 mile stretch of coast is unbelievable. I'm in love.....again.
