Fantastic finish on these quality dorado on the beach. Long drifts with 25 to 45 pound Dorado. They seem to be getting bigger each time we come in here. Amazing! We are just a few hours from Mag Bay , where we will stay the night and then drop everyone off early in the morning at San Carlos . Really nice weather in here!

Jan. 11, 2024

Same good action in the morning and a little wahoo action mid day. The finisher this evening was fast and furious on the stock grade fish. A nice way to wrap things up.

Just picked up the people in Mag bay. We are starting our 9 day fly in fly out trip and headed out to the Bank. Seeker Rods and Accurate reels are the main sponsors for the trip. Excellent loaner gear for some of the guys to tackle big tuna. We did a pick up at San Carlos and it went very smooth with the shuttles and boarding. We will be back here next week to drop off at the end of the trip. Mag Bay was really pretty with calm seas and water at 72.0 degrees and 75 air temp. It was a nice stop to pick up and get big bait for the trip.

Riviera Cruise trip start Feb 14 to Feb 19 and Feb 20 to the 24th. Flights opened up on the 2nd of Jan. out of Tijuana to La Paz and Loreto for the upcoming trips in February. With just a few opening spots on each trip now is a good time to book call the office at 619 224 3857

Started the morning with loading up on mackerel for bait. The dorado fishing was excellent. 20 to 35 pound fish in typical dorado fashion. Wide Open! Finding smaller tuna offshore hoping to bump into some bigger fish. Very nice weather!!

Gary and Laurens picked off a couple tuna this morning. Taking off shortly to try and avoid the weather. Looks to be 25 plus knots here this evening. No good!

First day at the Bank we found that the sharks were going to be a problem. Hot water seams to have them active. 50 to 80 pound fish with nothing bigger landed. Today we managed the same on the smaller fish and one fish over 200 and a couple other stand outs. Sharks again taking there toll. Hoping they back off a little tomorrow. Pretty nice weather down here, for now!
