Choosing the best spot for your Baja fishing trip is essential to having a successful an enjoyable experience. You’ll need to consider the type of fish you are looking to catch, the size of your boat, and the season since some areas are only open during particular times. For example, while there is good bottom fishing off most Baja points and islands throughout the year, there may be different types of gamefish that are available in certain spots at different times. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the regulations for each area and purchase the necessary permits for your fishing excursion.
Once you’ve chosen the perfect spot for your Baja fishing trip, it’s time to make sure you have the right tackle. You should always bring a variety of gear with you, such as lures, lines and hooks. Jigs are often used to catch many of the smaller fish species in Baja while trolling is great for larger gamefish like marlin or tuna. If you plan on bottom
fishing, remember to bring a longer rod and heavier line. Finally, don’t forget safety gear such as life vests, flares, and a first aid kit to ensure that your trip goes smoothly.
