LA PAZ
This stretch of coastline runs from the mouth of Bahia Concepcion north to the bustling mining town of Santa Rosalia. In between lie the oasis of Mulege, the camping of Caleta San Lucas, and the white sands of Punta Chivato. This prized Gulf zone holds well-documented angling opportunities for inshore and at the offshore islands of San Marcos and Tortuga.

LA VENTANA
An hour south of “Greater La Paz,” in the winter months La Ventana is a town driven by windsurfing. During their summer off-season, angling comes into play. You might well enjoy the comparative lack of fishing crowds, yet still access the pelagic species that have made the East Cape famous.

BUENA VISTA
Ground Zero for fishing infrastructure, heritage, and species variety, Buena Vista—and neighboring Los Barriles—are a can’t miss option. The village was built with hosting visiting anglers in mind. It shows. Resorts, outfitters, packagers, smoke houses... all are here to serve.

LORETO
A pearl of the central Gulf of California (with frequent direct flights from the US), Loreto charms with its island experiences, colonial flavor, gastronomy, and wide open fishing. Tuna, wahoo, yellowtail and more are on the list. There’s a boat for most budgets, and hotel options from simple and clean to Instagram-worthy boutique plays.

puerto san carlos / bahía magdalena
“Mag Bay” holds hundreds of miles of bayfront, mangroves, and barrier islands. From the protected waters holding pargo, snook, and bass to the offshore Thetis Bank and its outrageous winter Striped Marlin bite, the Bay is the sort of place a fisherman could build a life around.
