Buddha;
Good job picking the right time to head to that area. I remember going in April for two consecutive years until I opened my ears and listened to the locals.

I've never been to Asuncion. I could have gone many times, but when Asuncion is good, the surrounding areas are better(the majority of the time) and I know people well in the surrounding areas.

Juan and Shari Acre run a class act B&B out of Asuncion. Shari peppers the web with fishing reposts as Juan is the skipper. You posted the question on BD, so Shari should be getting back to you quickly as they are always puishing for business. mexfish.com and bloodydecks.

My advise to you on the reports is read thru the bullshit when someone is selling a guide service and a hotel, because they never post when the fishing is bad. Also iwindsurf.com, wetsand.com and buoywether.com is your best friend. You will see that it seems to blow harder in Asuncion. IMHO.

WSB are always in the mix from Abreojos to Tortugas. I've caught them from the panga, but never from the yak. The pangueros claim the best time is at night, so that's that....

As far as tackle, I just take everything - seriously. You can be fishing for wahoo, marlin, tuna, rat yt, big yt, big garopa, hali and spotted bay bass all in the same day. All within an hour panga ride.

Feel free to PM about Baja. I'm in CV so we may be neighbors.
