I'll make a suggestion for a future destination; Bahia Tortuga, just north of Bahia Ascuncion.

Trip to Asuncion was Awesome, great time was had by all. Top fisherman was Ross with PB X2 YT at 37#, and 43#. Lot's of tails, calicos, barracuda, sandies, and bonito. Great meals by Jeff.
NEXT Baja or Bust trip is to Ganzaga in April, feel free to join us. Tight lines and bloody gaffs.

Turtle Bay is protected so the weather would be even better, it is just as popular destination as Ascuncion, so there are plenty of accomdations and there is some epic halibut, yt, wsb and calico fishing. The SD long range boats fish it alot

The long range boats fish, Cedros, outside Turtle Bay, Asuncion, and Abreojos to fill their limits. It is all great fishing. What time of the year would you want to fish there? It is a long one day drive, 14 hours, so you really need to plan a longer trip. The roads were paved to Asuncion and Turtle bay is only 40 miles from the turnoff to Asuncion. Two days each way means 4 days travel time so to fish 7-10 days plan on a two week trip. 40 lb YT in a kayak, anyone???????? Tight lines and bloody gaffs.

Well, this is killing me - I just got the opportunity to go for a week to a high end timeshare free of charge down in Cancun. Of course the wife demanded we go, so it's booked. I was really hoping to go on the Gonzaga trip in April, but this trip overlaps it.
Whats worse is I've been sitting here at work looking at the calendar and adding up my accumulated vacation hours, and between Skiing in February, Cancun in April and Pronghorn Hunting in September I'll have a grand total of 12 hours left at the end of the year. Guess there is no time for Baja left in the vacation budget...
