Santa Rosalillita Baja 9/23-9/28 w-pics
I got the green light from my lovely and understanding wife, to go on a week long fishing vacation with my friends Joe, Jimmy and Alex, down to a friendly and remote little fishing village called Santa Rosalillita, half way down the Baja. I made a trip down there earlier this year in March, so I was really looking forward to going major BENDO!
We caught a bunch of different critters using the Iron, Swim Baits and Live Bait and Gulp.
Yellowtail, Bonito, Calico Bass, Sand Bass, Barracuda, Whitefish, Sheephead, Sargo, Halibut, Corbina, Yellowfin Croaker, Pufferfish, Smelt, Mackerel, Turbot, Buttermouth Perch, Opaleye and Rock Wrasse.
Here I am with a nice Bonita.
A nice Calico on the Iron.
Alex with a typical size Calico.
Another Iron caught Calico Bass. The Iron actually out produced the Plastic Swim Baits.

One of the many Halibut that ate the ˝ ounce Kastmaster from the beach.
One of the many Corbina that ate the metal. We also caught Sand Bass off the beach. The evening surf fishing out in front of the camp was a ton of fun.

Most of all the fish were released, but quite a few of the Yellowtail were given to the people in the village and some where given to the Lobster Fishermen, in exchange for a bucket o’ bugs. Yumyum!!
Here is one of the nice Lobster Fishermen that gave us with some buggies. Thanks Martin!

Here I am with some of the 30 pound Yellowtail that ate the live Smelt and Mackerel that we slow trolled around some of the offshore reefs. Lost count on how many times I got broken off on 30 and 40 pound test line. Those big Jacks are “bad to the bone” when you hook them near that reef in less than 90 feet of water.
Here is Joe and Jimmy hooked up on two big Yellowtail Jacks.
Here is a pile of some of the “Haul-***-Juriels” that we gave to some of the town folk.
Here is some of Friday’s catch on the beach.
Here I am with Joe and Jimmy and some of the fish that we brought to shore.
I had so much fun laughing and fishing with Joe, Jimmy and Alex, this is by far my favorite fishing vacation. I can’t wait to make it back down there again, even though I dread the 14 hour ride back home. HOOK-UP!!
Till next tide,
