BAJA BASS - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

makobob · 03-07-2017, 10:06 AM

Spring is almost here. Time to be thinking about warmer weather and Baja Bass. Spotties should be getting on the chew, Spring and early summer trips are the best time of the year for spotted bass around Gonzaga. Throw in some triggers and a cabrilla or two and it can be 100+ fish days for those few anglers willing to brave the possible Spring winds. Tight Lines.

Will be riding past Gonzaga Bay on our way to La Paz on dirt bikes March 19th.

There will be ten of us - my brother and I will have fly rods on our bikes.

We won't be able to stop and fish Gonzaga on the way south- but may stop there on the way back north.

Is fly fishing from the beach at that time of the year worth giving a shot?

If so we may try to snag a palapa to hang our hammocks and throw some clousers.

Leaving from Gonzaga km 134 Campo Turistica sign on right at turn off. Half mile down dirt road, turn left at restaurant follow 2oo yds, on left 1st place past the row of trees, cactus on your left. Stop in and we can talk MAG BAY. Always fish available, even in the spring.

Wow- cool thanks for the directions. If we're running on schedule we will make it a point to swing by. And once we get talking MAG BAY... who knows where that might lead... I do have all of June and have of July free.

This is what I look like if I show up on your doorstep... spot is south of Mag Bay and was loaded with these little snook- all catch and release.

Here's a couple more photos - still learning how to insert photos (what's the easiest way to pull them off my desktop and insert into the body of the text?).

Last shot is my brother Mike- he'll be with me.

First two are fishing some mangroves on my stando- this little chinomero rushed out and grabbed my fly- it was almost as big as he was.

Oh, you are killing me with those pictures! Snook is a bucket list fish for me - even a little guy like that one. Love that large arbor reel too!!
