epic trip!

I've been looking for the better part of 30 minutes on google maps and Gonzaga bay does not exist.

would be cool to do some land based fishing as well. what's the shark population like?

The official name is Bahia San Luis Gonzaga but even that is hard to find on most maps. Google Rancho Grande Airstrip and and Maps will zero in on the place. About 60 miles south of Puertecitos which is easy to find.

Looking back it seems so unreal. Everything got bit, again and again. We lost a lot of tackle due to bite offs, broken hooks, being rocked, and just fishing.
To show what happen I have a picture of two lures, ones a soft bait that was cast and retrieved once. The second is a hard medal lure which was used for 45 minutes (note the broken hook) also.

The lure above the used lures is how they looked before being used.

Did you guys do any fly fishing down there?

Chuck I made a few casts, just to see how bad it was going to be, as I had not had a fly rod in my hands in years. I had about a dozen casts and figured I've lost a lot of distance, but for Baja it should be ok. Most fish are over 10 feet deep. I would think 8 weight or better,
I am bringing an 8, a 10 and a 12. 20-30 backing, shooting line, 20-30 feet of T-14 for shooting head, floro or mono 10-40 tippet. Flies, 2-5 inches, patterns will be what you have. I will bring mostly sardina or mullet patterns in tan/white/silver, blue/white, green/white. and I will practice my casting for the next month.
