The word is out! The roosterfish have already began to show up in the Muertos area. The Captains have even reported a couple Grande roosterfish a the Island. The water temps are fickle and warm spots have brought in some dorado while a the same time yellowtail are still lurking lower down in cooler water. Variety is indeed the spice of life.

Although fishing is the main attraction at Bahia De Los Suenos, there are many side adventures for family members who don't need to fish all the time. Contact us if you are interested in booking for the 2023 season.

If you want to see another side of Baja, come in the fall. The fall season in Baja is marked by the change from a dry, brown desert to a butterfly-filled, lush, green landscape. At sea, the seasonal storms have subsided and a variety of species have moved into the area. September and October are great months to fish Baja. On the Sea of Cortez side, roosterfish, dorado, jacks, billfish and tuna can all be expected. The dorado and marlin are generally larger and more abundant in fall months. On the Pacific side, bait balls begin to form from Magdalena Bay to Cabo San Lucas. Marlin, dorado and a variety of pelagic species are attracted by the abundance of bait. The fishing is explosive.

2023 is off to a great start in Baja! There are excellent bait stocks at the island. Captains have been seeing Dorado all season long, along with Yellowtail, Sierra, and Tuna during winter months. There have also been some small Roosterfish inshore. The background is set for another amazing season fishing for Roosterfish and a variety of other species throughout the Summer and Fall.

Our inaugural 2022 season fly fishing for Marlin in Magdalena Bay on Baja's pacific coastline has been nothing less than spectacular! It's been a mind blowing experience to approach these incredible fish as they bust bait balls at the surface. Casting to Marlin at close range and watching them crush your fly is a heart pounding experience for any angler. We hope you enjoy this short video clip and consider joining us to see what all the hype is about. We will be releasing more incredible video footage over the next couple months on our You Tube Channel so be sure to subscribe to catch our most current video productions.

Thank you to all of those adventurous anglers and guests who journeyed south to fish with the FFM team in Baja during our 2022 Summer Season. It was a great compliment to see so many familiar faces return to fish with us and an honor to host new ones. It was an incredible season and we were all thrilled to share our amazing part of the world with you. Check out our "best of 2022" compilation video on Youtube below.

They say variety is the spice of life. If that's true, our summer season in Baja was a spicy one. Each week felt like a new wave of species blew into town and the selection of fish species to target kept on coming. In the early season we saw a good amount of golden trevalle and rainbow blue runners along with the to be expected roosterfish and jacks. As the season progressed, a brief flurry of tuna, sierra and bonita appeared and provided us with lot of fun action. Several of these fish are cooler water species which signaled that the normal summer water temperatures could be cooler than expected.

Roosterfish were around all season but they were extra picky and catching them was sporadic. There were a handful of standout fish in the 60-70 pound range and plenty of fish in the 15-30 pound range.

By late June the water temps finally warmed up and we had some really good offshore action with grande dorado and marlin. It has been quite a few years since we have seen dorado in the 40-50 pound class with the consistency and numbers we had this year.

The sardine stocks were good all season which kept the big game trolling the shorelines and deep inshore ledges looking for easy meals. With so many sardines around we used less bait and used more teasers to draw fish within fly casting range.

Again, a huge thank you to all the guests who journeyed down to fish with us so this season! If you are interested in booking for 2023 dates, contact us or view 2023 season availability here. Stay tuned for more on our new Mag Bag Marlin program!

If you are interested in using the FlyFishMex shuttle service, please send your airline itinerary and number of guests to info@flyfishmex.com to reserve space.

There is a new system at the San Jose del Cabo airport to reduce curbside crowding and increase flow of track at the shuttle bus/van meeting area outside of baggage claim. If you've visited us in the past, you likely witnessed the relative free-for-all craziness of newly arrived "got a cold margarita on my mind" vacationers scurrying around the crowd to locate their shuttle drivers. Thankfully, those times are now behind us! Now the process is organized so that drivers are assigned numbered canopies where their guests can go to meet them. Guests taking our shuttle should exit the baggage claim and meet the driver at canopy #10.

Alternatively, if you arrive to Baja via the, much smaller and less congested, La Paz airport simply exit baggage claim and look for your driver.

If you have a trip planned with us and need to arrange transportation between the airport and Bahia De Los Suenos, please email us to coordinate and schedule shuttle times. Our van comfortably accommodates up to 8 passengers with luggage.
