ALL ARTICLES, REPORTS AND FISHING INFORMATION FOR BAJA COASTAL AREAS
LA BOCANA, MEXICO: LA BOCANA (BAJA CENTRAL PACIFIC COAST) - Continued winds kept anglers ashore for several days along both coasts of Baja last week, but good yellowtail action was reported by some boats getting out at San Quintin and along the central Pacific coast in the Punta Abreojos area.
LA BOCANA, MEXICO: At the village of La Bocana, north of Punta Abreojos, Capt. Juanchy Aguilar reported an excellent catch on Saturday for his boat Karol, fishing at the offshore Whale Rock reefs for seven grouper of 12 to 40 pounds, yellowtail of 30 to 35 pounds, calico bass, and bonito of 7 to 9 pounds. Aguilar said live mackerel bait was readily available at the boca, and the water temperature 1.3 miles south of the village was 70 degrees. The offshore water temperature at Whale Rock was 66 to 67 degrees, and other boats also reported good catches of 35 to 40-pound yellowtail, Aguilar said. La Bocana weather was warm, with no wind, on Saturday. LA BOCANA FISHING REPORT. LA BOCANA FISHING REPORT.
LA BOCANA, MEXICO: Alan Lewis of San Lucas Cove on the Cortez side crossed over the peninsula to the village of La Bocana for a "recon" trip, and reported on meeting Capt. Juanchy: "His email address is Karol_36@msn.com. He's 'the man' there as far as the fishing goes, a very nice fellow and an excellent artist. He paints beautiful fish on enamel or porcelain dinner plates."
LA BOCANA, MEXICO: Earlier, Doug Pierson of O'Brien, Ore., reported on a very good trip to the Abreojos area, fishing inside Estero de Coyote and offshore out of La Bocana, 10 miles north, with Capt. Juanchy. At Estero de Coyote, Pierson fished in 65-degree water for hot action on large spotted bay bass, broomtail grouper, sandbass, halibut, and assorted species, including a run of chihuile catfish right in the channel: "I found fish-a-cast paradise...These catfish were only in the fastest waters on the moving tides and fought faster and harder by far, pound for pound than the bass or groupers."
From La Bocana, Pierson ran outside in 69-degree water and fished the reefs for dorado, and a total of 29 yellowtail to 42 pounds, in two short morning sessions. Pierson said he was also broken off by the area's large grouper, and next time will take heavy wire leader. ESTERO DE COYOTE AND LAGUNA LA BOCANA FISHING REPORT.
