We are heading down in 4 days. I do most of my fishing from shore and I am looking for a good spot to fish out at Cholla. But not really in the bay proper.
Anyone living on the South shore that would allow me and my buddy to use a trail down to the shore from their home or any suggested spots that are accessible that could pay off would be much appreciated.
Go down to Tucson beach and at the bottom of the hill go left to the rock outcropping a friend who lives there slays fish weekly and then invites us over for fish fry, awesome.

Oyes amigo I will be there this coming week say weds is a good day, have real nice fishing spot (private beach) that the loco's can't fish, only problem is I charge 1 bottle of absolute and a 12 back of that new bud amber 6%, be well worth it, have references, don't waste your time fishing public area's, fish left Penasco years ago.
There's a few people on here that drive over the big dune past Tesorro and fish the estuary, They show some good fish when they post, never seen anyone show there catch from pinto point, stream passes to fast and carry's you right to Tucson Beach is what buckly tells me that swims the area.
Well, we are going to be there for 5 days so I am planning on hitting several places. I have not fishes the estuary out there yet.
The fishing activity is supposd to be very high for all 5 days we are there. So I am pretty excited.
Thanks for the replies perro.
Hey Playa is there a way to cross country it to the neighborhoodz there in Las Conchas, or a person I can say I am going to see to get past the guards and get down to Tessoro? Where we stay is only 5 minutes to the guard shacks but getting in is the trick.

You know what they do to liberals with fishing poles at the guard shack trying to get in, your gonna have to call Rosy to bail your asses out LOL.
Damn man. I mean isnt fishing the one thing we have in common.
The man is still in charge, no matter where you go there you are, or they are.... Hmmm.
I just wanna catch some fish lol.
It is pretty rocky back there. Where footwear that provides protection for the feet but is also water friendly. Beware of the black algae on the rocks. It's a little like black ice. Also bring 2X the amount of lures you think you need.
Las Conchas is not hard to get into. Just state that your staying in section (1-8) and lot (X) and they will give you a placard and you are good to go. As long as your gringo and you act like you belong there then they do not question you to much;) Or just state your visiting Roberto! Honestly I think the fishing is better in the Cholla area or behind competition hill. Take Calle N (if I remember correctly) until it dead ends to get back into the circled area on the map. See my report from March on how to get back behind the hill. PM me if you need further clarification. A 2 wheel drive can make it back there fairly easy. Getting to the estuary East of Tessora needs a 4 wheel drive that is good in the sand or deflate your tires. Otherwise, bring a shovel, lunch and probably a 12 pack. My 4X4 is somewhat of a pig in the sand but deflate my fat tires and I can get out of there without too much problem. Getting in is easy, getting out is not.
May the wind God bless you with calm waters. Have fun!
I can not be held responsible... CHUCKY IS GOING TO BE MMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDD!
Ummm, who is Chucky and why be mad?
Come on Mexico Joe.... is it a political thing? Need blood test? Secret handshake? :)
Ok, so your mentor Chuck Blair.
In all fairness I have wanted to get to that spot, I had seen it on the satellite images that I constantly scour just never saw the path, nor knew there was a place to park.
Mexico Joe, I work hard at trying NOT to be the normal trash and dash tourist down there. I wish I could spend more time than I get to down there.
Maybe you and Lucky Chucky could give me a chance/break on this one?

There is usually a ultralite at the entrance to Unconscious. They will take you out and drop you off for a fee !! Not. At reported already, use andy of the methods suggested. Could prolly just say goin fishin and they would let you through. For a day trip experience the Marua does not compare to La Pinta, but if you wana be a pansy ass go to Marua.
Very cool, the group wants to head south for some adventures this time. We will be there for 2 days before the rest of the crew. I am barely able to contain myself now.
Saw something very cool off of the upstairs patio at my house on Pinto Pt, today.
While we were working on some corroded stuck shut patio doors we spotted what we thought was
a 12-15ft whale or a couple of large dolphins about 100-150 yards out. We watched it for 5 minutes and it looked like it was feeding but no
blow spout plume. Humm,
We got the binoculars and watched it and turned out it was a pretty big shark feeding on schools of fish.
Definitely in the 12-15 foot range and it had a rounded dorsal fin with a large tail.
Never seen that happen close to shore before. out on a boat a few times.
My son who usually goes for a swim in the afternoon decided to pass on it today. LOL
A whale shark? The shark had a slender head and was quite active turning it's head and body, very agile, it was twisting and turning every few seconds while feeding.
It was a dark grey color almost black without any spots.

Not a whale shark then. Maybe a really big Mako? Scary but really cool. I hope somehow fishing restrictions can be implemented over time and the SOC fish populations can recover to their original glory. http://www.seawatch.org/reports/sea_of_cortez.php
Get yourself some of these darting shad's by Renosky. You will be happy you did. They come in a 2 pack bring enough the fish were ripping them to pieces. I just stocked up on them for our trip down this summer.

Anyone out there interested in taggin along with us this coming Saturday morning 18 Apr 15?
We will be at Reggie's around 8:30, make the run down to Santo Tomas, then to the beach, make a right turn at the water then run north to Salinas Point. Gonna do some beer drinkin, beach combin, surf fishing and clam diggin in the estero.
You just never know what you might find along that beach, whales, bales, who knows what?
We will make the return trip down to the Desemboque fish camp then back out to the so called highway.
We will be in our 06 topless khaki colored Wrangler Rubicon.

Jim, I'm jealous! That sounds like my kind of adventure...
I sure hope so as Salina's point is basically the spit, the place Jerry and I took you down to on your first trip to Santo Tomas. wish I was going with you Jim
Every tip along that coastline is an adventure. The flotsam and jetsam line along that beach is like none other. The numbers of washed up rotting dead sea life is incredible, not to mention the tons of weird trash. Don't forget the dunes, ancient indigenous humanoid midden piles and the lizards. This weekend's super high tides will bring schools of egg laying Gulf Grunion up by the zillions and the eggs of last months run will be hatching. It could be a rarely seen spectacle with the Grunion being slammed and pushed up to the beach by game fish and nailed from the air by the birds. Perfect conditions for pitching a lure past the frenzy and retrieving it thru the melee. I've got corvinas, sierras, triggers, sand bass and even a few yellowtail in these situations.
So Jerry, wanna meet up and do a little BS'n over a cervesa or two?

Pretty close yes but not exactly. That's why I said that's my kind of adventure! I'd love to get back down to the Spit or across and a little to the North on that Salinas point. If you look at it on Google Earth it looks like the fishing could be amazing up that way... Isnt that Bahia San Jorge to the N of Salinas Point? I'm jonesing to get back down and do some serious fishing but I think Im going to have to wait till May. Speaking on that, anyone fishing in May down South? Leigh? Jerry? Kenny? JJ? I'd love to get back down to Lobos or Santo Tomas in May or June. Let's try and arrange another Great Corvina Hunt... Loved that trip! Thanks Kenny and Jerry!!!!
Sadly we are so screwed..,enjoy it while we can is our only play
And sadly it's nothing new. I remember talk about the sharp decline of Sardine's in my early years as I growing up on the west coast.. The great California sardine boom and bust... In only a few decades, it boomed and busted, and by the 1950s the fishery and canneries were wiped out.http://marcsala.blogspot.com/2009/02/great-california-sardine-boom-and-bust.html
