The Reel Baja's Tip of the Week
With the weather getting hot some of the best fishing will be early in the morning and late afternoon. Concrete on those times especially if fishing from the beach. The fish can certainly be active other times of day but those “magic hours” can be some of the best.

The Reel Baja5-Day Outlook as of 9/30/24
We expect good weather and good fishing this upcoming week. We will see a little wind in the afternoons from the Southeast it that is typical for this time of year. The fishing should remain steady as the water temperatures are looking good.
Techniques & Tips as of 9/30/24
Inshore - This time of year we see a lot of action early in the mornings as well as the low light hours in the evenings. People tend to over look these time periods. If you want some great action get up and on the water early or fish a little later in the day as those "magic" hours can be great. Offshore - have a few different rods ready from 8wt. to 12/14wt as you never know what you might encounter as far as species and size of fish. It never fails you will be running to a destination and you run into feeding fish on your way. You need to be ready for anything before you leave the dock.
Current Conditions as of 9/30/24
Hello everyone, This time of year is always the most difficult as the weather is hot and so is the water temperatures. But with that said fishing is overall pretty good currently. We have a decent bite for some bigger tuna. We are also seeing some good action for small to medium dorado that have moved in over the past week. The action for marlin and sailfish remains fair. If fishing form the beach it’s been slow. There have been the occasional rooster but overall slow. I will be headed to the states at the end of this week to do a little trout fishing. When we return we will be headed over to Magdalena Bay to start our fall season. I will be sure to report the latest fishing news when I return from my trout fishing trip. Until then we wish everyone great fishing.Local Species Available Year Round
