Baja Anglers Sept 2012

Grant,

  

"Grant thank you so much for sharing your local knowledge with us while in Cabo.  We also enjoyed our day on on the water with your professional captain and mate.  The day was a bit sporty with winds gusting to 20 but in only took about 45 seconds from the first lure we deployed to get a bite!  After loading up on some Skip Jacks for bait we headed further offshore.  In no time we had our first Dorado on.  After picking up our first cow and resetting we had another cow hit the right long.  While I was fighting that the captain and mate cleared the rest of the lines and pitched out a live goggle eye and we soon had a double header with a nice bull smoking the drag on a spinning reel.  He handed it to my wife Amanda and she held on tight letting the fish run.  She faught it about 1/2 way to the boat and the fish dove deep.  She let me finish off the fight which was a lot of fun on the lighter tackel.  Set on enough Dorado to feed a small vilage we went in search of bill fish.  The captain soon spotted a tailing Striped Marlin and showed me what to look for.  We cleared the lines and ran up in front of him and pitched a goggle eye out back and waited for him to tail his way down current to us.  Soon he was there all lit up and crcling the bait.  He ate it and I let him eat it for for an 8 count and reeled tight.  He was on and not knowing he was hooked yet.  The bait came free and swam for its life,  the captain instructed me to free spool it and sure enough he came back and ate it again this time taking off on an aerial assault which lasted for a couple minutes before dislodging the hook.  Even though we didn't land that fish it was one of the coolest experiences of my life.  We saw 2 more tailing marlin on the way in but they had already eaten lunch and were not hungry.  It was a great day out on the water and fun to experience a change of environment from normally fiishing the Atlantic.

 

I highly recommend Baja Anglers to anyone looking for a unique fishing experience.  Light tackel fishing is where its at if you like the sport of it and are up for a challenge. 

 

 

Again thanks for everything Grant we will definately be back soon with friends and booking more charters with Baja Anglers!

 

All the Best,

Rain in the street of Cabo

3 Ed day, still raining. We need it

It's been so long since it rained, this is wonderful news for us desert rats it could rain for a week and it wouldn't be enough.

Rainy day but still way too much fun

Non stop action kept us smiling

This is a great day. Nothing better than fishing with York boys

John n Lucas. Double trouble

Kids day out

Rainy lighthouse. Never looked so good

John. IHis boys start th

John with a nice dorado

We caught 6 dorado yesterday on very light spinning rods. Bass sized rods actually. John holds up the biggest of the lot. It was a lot of fun to fish with John again , he is a very fungus to fish with. Last time we fished John got a 60 plus pound dorado.

First rain in over 3 years

We really need this. It's been a long dry spell for us.

Gon and his 3 boys went out yesterday, they looked for dorado, but the bite slacked off, so they went inshore and caught a few nice roosters.  Way to go guys!

I'm back! July 25th

Hi Folks,
Boy have I got a lot of flack for not posting over the last few months... Mostly I have been out of town fishing my beach trips and seminars while the boys are here in Cabo taking folks out locally..

May n June recap.  May N june are traditionally super months to fish the Cabo area, its when we get the giant roosters and all other great inshore fish like jacks and snappers, and its usually very good marlin fishing... This spring we were hit with the el Nino cold water and really messed things up..I mean, we had some very good fishing days, but one day the water is 78 and the next its 68, what the heck.  Fish don't like that.. So even thought he big fish were here, they sure didn't want to eat...So it was a so-so season here in Cabo.

Same goes for the beach on the east cape, it was super until the cold water took over, then the fishing was off, we cast and hooked big fish almost everyday, but the cold water had a huge effect on the fish..

Right now, we have had some super offshore fishing, and then, again, its slow for a day or two.. Still some very big roosterfish inshore.

I have some pictures form last month that I will post in the next few blogs.

Beach trips

Wow, it's been such a fun season. Most guys are complaining that the sardines aren't around, but hey we have found fish everyday, and have had plenty of shots at true Grandes If you want to catch roosters on the beach, just send me an email

Oar fish

We came across this 18' oar fish just as it was dying. Its skin was very weird to touch bumps on it and felt like leather. The most beautiful fish I have ever seen

Did I take a wrong turn or what

Dead baby turtle went the wrong way from the ocean and the desert sun toasted him. What a shame, pretty little guy.

Jim Tompson has so Cabo fun

Hey Grant, 
Thank you again for having the best operation going. Arturo as always was awesome and after at least 10 years never ceases to amaze me. 
Look forward to coming back soon. 
Thanks again,

Cabo and Beach Update May 27

I should be posting more, but hey, I am personally on the East Cape doing my weekly private beach fishing seminars.  I am not getting back to Cabo for 4 weeks, so posts are going to be far and few between.  

Cabo has been good fishing. Roosterfish, snappers, sierra mackerel and jacks are abundant, as well as striped marlin.  On the striped marlin, tricky to get to eat, but plenty of fish... Some big roosters around, again tricky to get to eat, the medium sized fish are easier to fool.  Some big snappers around, there fish are super light tackle and fly fish, as they take lure and fly with gusto, and the bonus its a visual take as thy are on top of the water, only a foot or so down.. Sierra are one of my favorites, great sports fish, great tableware.  Love these fish, jacks are powerful, but the king is the rooster.  These exotic fish are addictive to catch.. Catch a nice one and its all you can think about for years..Any size will bring a huge smile to your face.

The east cape trips are going strong and plenty of fish, including some real pigs.  I won't post any more pictures, as the beach rats the come down in hordes since running down the man aren't doing so well (not as easy as they thought) and they are internet generation, so when I have posted in the past, they look at the photos to see the beach variations and locations, next thing you know, I have a ton of guys fishing next to me... No thanks.  I like to fish alone!  But we are catching roosters on consistent basis. 

Thats all for now,

Grant

P.S. Some photos from Nazarios camera.  Look at those smiles, love it!

Bill Schroger, Impressive roosterfish!

Grant, 

I'm pumped about next week with Arturo.  Geez, I've been fuishing with you guys since '05 and still no rooster pic on your web site.  Am I that ugly?  I'm sending you one.
Cheers,
Bill

Grant,
What a trip. We fished with your guide,  and he was great. He worked hard and we caught various species of fish all on light tackle as promised. It was a blast. He asked that I send you some photos of some of the fish we caught. Anyway thanks again for a great trip.
