Sammy, Grant and I began our 5 hour drive from Magdalena Bay back down to Sam’s condo in Todos Santos early so we could stop and fish a snook beach. The snook almost always elude us and today was no different. It’s a beautiful spot but we picked through the surf waves for three hours without anything more than a longjaw leatherjack.
From there we hit the main roads straight back. We had a common Baja occurrence slow us down. We blew a tire. The 2 hours of dirt roads to the beach had some sharp rocks and we hit one dead on. Lucky for us it didn’t flatten till we were one mile from a town and every town has a tire place. We were out of commission for a mere 45 minutes.
While this is the end of a truly fabulous trip with Sammy and Grant, I am staying here in Baja for a few more weeks. Tomorrow when Sammy flies out, Granny flies in. We won’t have boats or guides but we’ll do some casual beach fishing. I say casual because I will be mostly working. Its time for me to prepare for show season. My winter tour is a big one and its coming fast and I have lots of new pictures and stories to update my PowerPoint shows with.
Despite being 2022, internet is sparse in remote parts of Baja. Furthermore, after a 10-12hr fishing day on the salt, it’s hard to get the blogs out on time. They will be delayed but they will come in full. Stay tuned!
In the meantime, please visit my webstore for “Christmas Gifts for the Angler that has Everything” and stuff those stockings with my fish decals from “Pescador on the Fly”.
