Going to be in La Paz in a couple of weeks. Taking a medium heavy spin rod down to mess around with. I picked up an old edition of Baja Catch that recommended throwing jointed rapalas. Any other "hot tips?"
Surf fish cabo?

I was last down there three years ago. I was throwing flys early in the morning along the beach. Articulated leaches and smolt patterns seemed to work well. I only hooked one fish that was big, went straight out into my backing, rolled twice and was gone. Most the guys I saw fishing were doing pretty good throwing bait or plugs with their spinning gear. I like La Paz, very laid back and Gringo friendly. Not sure I’d be heading there any time soon. Good luck.

Our first trip to Baja we visited La Paz.
This was about ten, eleven years ago.
Its a pretty large city, with some rough parts. We had rented a car, so bounced around, in and out of the center.
The La Paz bay seemed pretty dead for fishing, but Punta Arena is definitely worth a drive. La Ventana isn't far either.
I was all freaked out and nervous about Federales. Think I'd be more worried about surface to air missiles now.

Yeah, we'll see if we pull the trigger or not. I haven't read about any issues on the peninsula yet

Baja sur isn't on the US travel advisory. I doubt we're going to bail, i've have to read about actual violence in the cabo area.

I was thinking about poking along the headland north of town. Maybe try to rent a panga to head out to the islands (though I'm sure Google makes that crossing look shorter and easier than it really is).
