Baja fishing warms to the sound of Summer

Later that afternoon, Rebecca Ehrenberg, who represented the Stars and Stripes Fishing Team, presented the Winning Sportfishing Team crews with their awards.

Baja Roosters Tease

With all the boats and all the pressure on these fish, the name of the game is ‘first of all’ patience. Many boats throw bait, so getting fish around your boat can be difficult. But, as I said above, they will eventually show up around your boat, giving you an opportunity. The hard part is when the fish do show up, not getting “buck fever.” There have been some big roosterfish that are very wise. You have to be willing to accept that these fish will reject your offerings more often than not. If you understand that and are patient, and make good presentations when given the opportunity, you can succeed!

Baja Spring on the Horizon

After tacking back and forth searching for the swordfish tail and dorsal, often referred to as a “two-finner,” they finally spotted some commotion on the surface, creating a large patch of white water. Suddenly, the fish appeared near the top, confirming it was a feeding thresher shark…

Wahoo! Fall Arrives

Pisces 35′ Valerie with Captain Roberto Sandez, aka “El Jefe,” were killing it this week. This boat had a 100% Catch Success Rate in five days of fishing. They had five billfish released, including a 250-pound blue marlin, a striped marlin, and a sailfish. Plus, 14 dorado, 25 yellowfin tuna (20 to 60-pounds each), and this nice wahoo yesterday. No wonder El Jefe is considered one of the “best in the business” and has been a Captain with Pisces for 33 years.

Yellowfin Tuna in the house

Baja Bytes – June 22, 2021 Tijuana Bull Ring Bird schools continue to be the best bet outside the kelp. There has not been any word on yellowtail, but they did pop up under birds a few times last week. Inshore, calico bass have remained a consistent bite. Small plastics and anchovies on light linesContinue reading “Yellowfin Tuna in the house”

Baja Summertime’s Here

There are also some big schools of nice jack from Punta Colorado to La Salina and a ton of “micro” bait that they have been feeding on. Most of this has been taking place a little later in the day. On most days it has started around noon and lasted until about three. If you see the birds, you will find the fish. They are from about 1/2 mile to 2 miles out. Throwing sardina to the fish seemed to work for some groups as they wanted the bait, but others didn’t. You could tell a few groups were more in the spawning mode, but those that wanted to play were overly aggressive.
