San Quintin, Baja -> Looking for Info - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

jgoertz · 10-13-2009, 08:47 PM

Thanks for the tips and location hints. I did manage to launch out of the "ramp" and spent a couple of hours on the water. Not too many people in that area this time of the year.

I found a better spot a few miles to the south with a nice camping spot and launch access if you have 4x4. Attached are a few pics to show the good weather and scenic beauty of the place. It was quite lively on the water.

I didn't have too much luck with the fishing other than a few small bonitos and lots of top smelt. I wasn't able to spend as much time as I would have like due to significant other duties. But it was good to be on the water.

You musta brought your kites, right? I've fished from a PB a few times down there, then kited the afternoon. Too much fun. There's big WSB in fairly shallow water in the kelp off XXXXXXX. Only got YT pretty far offshore. Black Seabass and Halis to be had near the harbormouth. You know about the huge tidal swings that might make the bay difficult to fish safely. Hope to see you in LJ, maybe next Sunday. Maybe some wind with this front if we're lucky...

This thread is making me excited to get down there for some fishing. i've always wanted to fish that stretch but was always heading further south.
Time to build a rack for the yak on the truck
