After a couple of weeks of storms, heavy rain, strong winds, and port closures, we finally got back on the water two days ago. It’s good to see boats heading out again, although fishing here in Southern Baja has been slow.
There have been scattered reports of an occasional marlin and a few bottom fish, but overall, there isn’t much action to report just yet. We’re only two days removed from the latest round of heavy rain and wind, so we’ll need more time on the water to see how the fishing settles out.
Today we have sunny skies, a light breeze, and good weather for getting out fishing. There’s a possibility of another storm late next week, so we’ll be watching that closely. For now, we’re happy to have the port open and boats back on the water.
Magdalena Bay Fishing Trips Begin November 1
Starting November 1, we’ll be in Magdalena Bay for our fall fishing season, offering striped marlin trips, offshore liveaboard trips, and fishing in the mangroves.
For anglers interested in offshore fishing, we have both panga day trips and liveaboard options available. Whether you’re planning to fly fish for striped marlin or prefer conventional tackle, we can help put together a trip that fits your group.
The mangroves offer another side of Magdalena Bay, with opportunities to fish for snook, grouper, orangemouth corvina, snapper, and a variety of other species. These trips are a great option for anglers who enjoy exploring sheltered water and fishing a mix of species.
We’re still taking reservations for Magdalena Bay. Contact us for available dates and help choosing the right trip.
Now Booking the 2027 East Cape Fishing Season
We’re also taking reservations for our 2027 East Cape season.
If chasing roosterfish with a fly rod along the beach is on your list, we’d love to help you plan it. We also offer boat trips for roosterfish and dorado, with both fly fishing and conventional fishing available.
Your trip can be customized around your preferences, whether you want to spend your time walking the beach, fishing from a boat, or combining the two. Our English-speaking fly fishing guides can help you make the most of your time here in Baja.
