Santa Rosalillita info needed

**gotnick** · Dec-16-2008, 10:04 AM

I am trying to plan a fishing trip to Santa Rosalillita. Does anyone have any information on lodging, panga or any contact down there? Is there any service like BOLA available? Thanks for your help.

I don't know if this info will turn out to be of any help to you, but it's worth a shot. Two summers ago as we were hanging out at the fish cleaning table at Casa Diaz we made friends with a couple of locals who had family in Rosalillita. When we mentioned we were heading over there one of them pulled a receipt out of his pocket and wrote down a contact for us.

I just dug it out of our journal. It reads as follows:

Rosaliita
Leonardo Maclish
Pichin (fishing)
and mecinic (mechanic)
Esposa Ramona

So, when we pulled into town we saw his sign on the right hand (north) side of the road, just before dropping down off the mesa into Rosallita proper. We pulled in, but didn't see anyone. We returned to town to ask around, but no one seemed to know where Leonardo was at the moment. We missed out so we made the decision to drive up the coast to the Sisters.

We've kept that old piece of paper in our journal for a "just in case" moment when we might get to use it. If you do end up hooking up with him, please let me know.

I'm also thinking that Juan and Sheri might have some connections there as well.

Have fun,
Paulina

Are you talking about this place?

Thanks for your help Paulina. It is the place Deno. However I wanted to hire a panga to go out fishing and rent a cabin to stay.

if you want too fish there i would not depend on any dependable local panga or place to stay. this place is a bring your own boat kind of place. trailler your own boat down and launch at the marina or on the beach at high tide, much more dependable. you will catch in the winter, sand bass, calico, bottemfish, halibut, black seabass, maybe white seabass, yellowtail, puffer. spent many of winters there and watch for the easterly winds, they are ass kicker. better yet fish off the beach north for great bass fishing with scampitails and fill your cooler with great taco fair. good luck.

I am planning for a trip in June next year. I don't have a boat yet. May be after fishing in BOLA we will swing by and see if we can arrange for anything in Rosalillita.

I dont know of any lodging but our cousin is a fisherman there and could probably find someone to take ya out...his name is Martin Arce and phone # is 615-161-1008 or just go to the coop and ask for him.

Shari,
I knew I recognized your cousin's name, so I looked it up in our journal. We met Martin Romero Arce and Ernesto Romero Arce in Aug. of '06. They were great guys and are also family of Roberto Ocana in Bahia. It's a small Baja! Roberto also told us to look up Manuel Romero Arce in Asuncion, but he wasn't there when we asked about him. Maybe you guys can introduce us the next time we're in town, unless he's coming to the family reunion in Bahia, we can meet him then.
