When, Where and How to Fish Mexico<\/strong>
Dawn and dusk are the best times to walk a Mexican beach with a light spinning rod or a fly rod, fishing line and a handful of lures or streamer flies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small baitfish gathers near the shore during low light, and the big fish follow them. Look for diving pelicans, sea birds or squawking, screaming flocks of gulls swirling over a spot near the shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birds mean lots of bait, and bait means schools of big, hungry fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Savvy anglers also look for deep channels between shoreline shallows or reefs, rocky headlands and areas where boulders poke out of the water as such areas are a very popular spot for fish to gather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mexican Shore Tackle<\/strong>
A medium spinning rod and reel spooled with 8-pound to 12-pound-test line works well. Lighter line means more hookups; fast casts \u2013 and maybe a few lost big fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But many anglers slide big fish \u2013 ten pounds or more \u2013 onto the beach with light tackle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple lures, such as Krocodiles, Kastmasters, Rapalas and inexpensive plastic jigs, such as Mister Twisters, get hammered whenever big fish are around. Anglers should buy these lures in quarter-ounce to one-ounce sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lures with silvery finishes, which mimic the small sardines and mullet, work best.F<\/a>
Fly rod anglers should spool intermediate lines onto 8-weight to 10-weight rods. Poppers, Clouser Minnows, Lefty\u2019s Deceivers and Crease Flies in sizes 8 through 1\/0 work well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fly fishing Mexican surf<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roosterfish \u2013 the big, finicky and very popular prize catch of the Mexican surf \u2013 demand a fast retrieve of the streamer fly or popper. Rooster fish can get as big as 50 pounds. Be sure to \u2018set your hook\u2019 quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the surf is bigger than two feet, it\u2019s a better idea to use a spinning rod, as waves have a nasty habit of tangling fly lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But fly fishermen casting streamer flies often wallop the fish when the surf is small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Tips for Mexican Fishing<\/strong>
Successful anglers keep moving and casting along the beach until they find concentrations of fish. Staying in one spot and casting over and over again is a recipe for a fishless outing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many anglers enjoy the casual pleasure of wearing shorts, walking along the beach and casting toward likely spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often the fish show themselves, as they beat the surface to a froth while chasing little baitfish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anglers often use a small shoulder bag to carry spare lures, wire leaders \u2013 in case toothy sierra mackerel show up \u2013 a pair of pliers and sunscreen as it is sunny most of year round and the fish are really biting in summer, but really covers at least three seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall you\u2019ll find the best assortment of fly fishing catches along the Sea of Cortez section of the Mexico Coastline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So as you can see, planning a group fishing trip for your party staying at the Inn at Rincon would be a worthwhile idea when staying in the Baja Mexico. You\u2019ll have more than your catch of fish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
