San Quintin in August

[SHARK BAIT]

THAT IS ONE LONG PADDLE IF YOU ARE STAYING AT THE OLD MILL. DID YOU TRY TO GET A PANGA? I ALWAYS USE PEDRO'S, CAPTIN HECTOR IS GREAT. LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED THE NUMBER.

If you are kayak fishing in SQ you want to fish these 2 areas. If you are fishing in the Bay, Do not launch fron the Old Mill Area. It is much easier to launch from the beach area know as playa de oro. from there it is an easy paddle accross the bay to an area in front of the oyster farm. drift that area for Halis and BSB. Bait is usually easy to find in that area as well. The other area you want to fish is a short drive south of SQ. It is a great spot for yellowtail and huge WSB as well as all you want sandbass and Calicos. It is the spot "he Mother of all Lamb was caught" There is a nice little concrete launch ramp there and the surf is usually not to large. For more info on this spot contact Adi or Brad They know it well.....

I'll be camping on the point July 27th thru the 31st. I'll probably be fishing solo since everyone else on the trip will be surfing.

The surf there SUCKS big time, sometimes breaking 4-6 feet - 100 yards from the beach. Sometimes it can lay down, but then there's the cold dirty water current that shuts down the entire area. I was there two weeks ago and the surf was PUMPING. The surf was big enough to get the surfers out. The water quality was brown and dirty - fished outside on a panga instead.

Come on Art, it's not that bad. As long as you have a trusty local rescue swimmer on hand.

The surf there is not to be trivialized. Last trip a friend got flipped over backwards by an oncoming wave and spent 30min in the water until a local diver swam out and helped him. Several others got wiped and lost gear, rods, and paddles. The kicker is that the surf was pretty mild that trip. I can give myself an adrenaline kick just thinking about that surf and I would never want to be responsible for anyone else trying it.
