What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Loreto, Baja California Sur for the first time?

Fishing in Loreto is very seasonal - be sure to check what fish are in the area during the time of your visit. If you are hoping for a particular fish species, they may not be around depending on what time of year you are fishing in Loreto.

Dorado, rooster fish, mackerel, and yellowtail are available in December. Small yellowtail you bottom bounce for in an area that can get very large rolling waves on windy days. So know that wind conditions will decide what is possible to go for that day.

Be prepared for the heat index. Drink plenty of water and gatorade. Use spray on sunscreen so your hands don't get slippery and smelly. Fish can smell the sunscreen from your hands when you handle the bait fish.

Go on a calm day and evaluate the equipment before you go. Make sure the captain already has live bait and sufficient lures.

Hire a seasoned local professional to have the best chance to catch fish during that time of year, for the appropriate species of fish in the area.

Be prepared, I was fishing in February, bring a light rain jacket with hood, light weight gloves good sunglasses and plenty of sunscreen

Not the most optimal time to fish on Loreto. Right between yellowtail and dorado migrations. Phenomenal weather though.

If wanting to experience fishing for species other than yellowtail, push for that. Some captains ignore your wishes and still just push fishing for yellowtail

Be ready for some great scenery and fun fishing. Bring a hat, lots of sunscreen, sunglasses, and a long sleeved fishing shirt.

Had a great time our group had first timers and a former comercial fisherman, we had fun and caught fish
