Hey all, Im in the market for a solid Bayrunner 17’ or greater. I’d prefer something in the 17’ / 18’ size, but I could go bigger for the right boat. Ideally turn key or close to it. Let me know what you have and hopefully we can strike a deal!!! :cheers: Dustin

I am a little new with this whole posting thing, so any help is appreciated. I am headed to San Felipe for Veteran's Day weekend. Does anyone have any fishing charter recommendations or contacts?

What an amazing week we had, both inland and offshore. There are lots of marlin just south of the lighthouse…black, blue and stripe as well as sailfish…you name it, the billfish are out there chasing bait. Live bait, dead bait and lures too. Wahoo stayed hot on the bite taking ballyhoo and...

There are plenty of dorado schools all over the compass points. Marlins have stayed real hot on the bite, and in-shore fishing has been amazing… same for bottom fishing near La Ribera. We’re seeing big roosters along the shoreline, all the way from Los Barriles to La Ribera and the lighthouse...

Short story: We caught a lot of fucking fish, we had a great time and I puked. See video. Long Story or Dear Penthouse Forum…I never thought your stories were true till this happened the other day…. 8-8-12 Drive to Bahia De Los Angeles Dave, Jason and Will planned this one to death and it...

From sunrise to sunset, we are enjoying beautiful hot summer days here on the East Cape. Temperatures in the low 90’s are steadily warming the water of the beautiful Sea of Cortez, which is currently in the high 70’s. The bite is still hot on the marlin and tuna, with more and more dorado and...

There is a certain kind of excitement this time of year when our “regulars” start arriving for their annual fishing trips….we feel it, as much as they do. The north winds are finally gone and we are enjoying beautiful weather with water temp’s in the high 70’s. Hot, sunny days in the low 90’s...

We’re seeing lots of live bait closer to shore and lots of bird activity. Billfish have been seen just a mile and a half from the shore, just in front of Hotel Buena Vista, with plenty of good hook-ups, catches and releases. Orcas were spotted traveling north just outside of La Ribera and mantas...

Went down to Bahía with some buddies for a day of fishing. Arrived Friday afternoon after a solid 15 hour drive. Roads were all good except for a short delay in santo Tomas for the road work at the top of the hill. Not bad, maybe a twenty minute delay. Got down to town, checked into the hotel...

Fish Report May 17, 2019 As the waters of the beautiful Sea of Cortez warm with the season, the fish come in closer to our shores. Just a few days ago we were finding tuna 40-60 miles out; now we’re into them in the 25-40 mile range. We’re seeing huge schools of dolphin, mantas, whales...

I was going to revive or reply to older posts on this subject (and thus not beat a very dead horse any further), but I thought I would start a new one to share how I prepare for fishing trips to Mexico (mainly Coronados), since there is widespread confusion and panic on this issue. Yes, most of...
