Bahia Asuncion Trip

['Cuda]

I didn't make it to Asuncion as Abreojos/La Bocana had more than I could handle. I camped at Abreojos and launched from the campsite. First day I brought an 80lb. BSB to color and released....next day I paddled into a yellowfin tuna boil but couldn't hook up (I had a sport fisherman landed 4 YF and 2 dorado near me that day) and then being late Dec. the weather turned and I was never able to make it back out to the 2 mile spot....you'll be going at peak season. La Bocana had unlimited YT just out of the mouth of the estuary but wind and tides stopped me from paddling out. The 2 towns are separated by 10 miles of estuary full of bay bass and corvina and I actually saw a halibut jump out of the water chasing bait. I'm planning a 2 weeker at the end of August. Send me your e-mail and I'll send pics.

Jim or Cuda,

Are there any white sea bass to catch in the fall?

If it isn't windy, is the kayak fishing accessible?

I am really looking forward to going down.

If anyone wants to join us let us know.

Buddha at that time of year I do not know of any white sea bass being caught. I do not know if any are caught in that area at all. Besides with the tuna and yellowtail that you catch you will not care about white sea bass. Tuna and yellowtail pull alot harder than a white seabass does. I forgot to tell you that all the fish that we caught were on lures did not need live bait. Good luck Jim.

So I take it that simple crocodiles and the basic swimbaits will work?
I will bring heavier line.

Conditions good for kayak launching when it isn't windy?

Good job picking the right time to head to that area. I remember going in April for two consecutive years until I opened my ears and listened to the locals.

I've never been to Asuncion. I could have gone many times, but when Asuncion is good, the surrounding areas are better(the majority of the time) and I know people well in the surrounding areas.

Juan and Shari Acre run a class act B&B out of Asuncion. Shari peppers the web with fishing reposts as Juan is the skipper. You posted the question on BD, so Shari should be getting back to you quickly as they are always puishing for business. mexfish.com and bloodydecks.

My advise to you on the reports is read thru the bullshit when someone is selling a guide service and a hotel, because they never post when the fishing is bad. Also iwindsurf.com, wetsand.com and buoywether.com is your best friend. You will see that it seems to blow harder in Asuncion. IMHO.

WSB are always in the mix from Abreojos to Tortugas. I've caught them from the panga, but never from the yak. The pangueros claim the best time is at night, so that's that....

As far as tackle, I just take everything - seriously. You can be fishing for wahoo, marlin, tuna, rat yt, big yt, big garopa, hali and spotted bay bass all in the same day. All within an hour panga ride.

Feel free to PM about Baja. I'm in CV so we may be neighbors.
