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 6/11/25
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 6/11/25
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 6/11/25
Last weekend marked the unofficial start to our summer season with the first tropical activity of the year. Tropical Storm Alvin made a brief appearance in Baja California Sur, but it had little to no effect on our fishing conditions. Rainfall was minimal, winds were manageable, and we continued fishing right through the system without missing a beat. The yellowfin tuna bite has been red-hot, running anywhere from 20 to 35 miles offshore, primarily under porpoise schools. The tuna are aggressive and hungry, with fish ranging from football size up to 80–90 pounds. It’s been consistent action for boats targeting them, and the conditions offshore have been ideal with calm seas and plenty of life. There’s a solid marlin presence in the area as well. While not wide open, boats targeting billfish are seeing fish daily and getting multiple shots. If you’re willing to commit time to the hunt, there’s a very good chance of connecting. Snapper fishing has been productive right off the beaches in front of the marina. A good option for light tackle anglers looking for some tasty action close to shore. The weather is warming, and the humidity is starting to rise, signaling the start of our classic summer pattern. We’ve had calm mornings, light winds, and perfect fishing conditions. The forecast looks favorable heading into the weekend, with more good fishing days ahead. until next time we wish everyone great fishing.Local Species Available Year Round
