Consag rock
Thanks for the correction. It helped finding it on the map. Not the Google Maps though!

The Konsag Island--to Consag Rock--or Roca Consag in Spanish, is per Wikipidia:
“(Consag Rock) is a granitic (or more precisely, dacitic) outcrop located in the northern Gulf of California about 22 miles[1][2] ENE of the town of San Felipe. The outcrop stands about 286 feet above the sea, and is named for the Jesuit missionary Ferdinand Konščak who was active in the early exploration and missionary work in Baja California. The ruins of an abandoned lighthouse can be seen on the west side of the outcrop.[3] The waters in the vicinity of the Roca Consag are a popular fishing area and also favored for spotting whales and porpoises.”

It seems it is mostly small fish and perhaps not worth the possible $50.00/person or more cost of Panga rental.

Sounds like such a fun trip/adventure Arkadash!!
I wish you safe travels and lots of fun.
I'm sure your photo diary/report upon your return will be just as exciting for those of us landlocked for the time being.

Cheers.

You can see it from the first time you see the sea on the 5 all the way into SF.
