Baja Beach Fishing?

JD, my wife and I are headed for Baja’s East Cape next month for a little vacation. While it’s possible I’ll get out on a panga one day, this really is more of a relaxation trip, not a fishing trip. However, when the wife’s getting a tan, is there any shore casting I can do off the beach?

Thanks, Terry M.

Yes!!Beach fishing down there is awesome! I’m not sure if the roosterfish bite is happening at the moment, but if you don’t mind just catching “stuff,” you’ll have a blast!
