This is Artificial Lure with your Baja fishing report. Starting with conditions: along the Pacific side from Ensenada down past Punta Baja we’ve had a light marine layer early, burning off to clear skies by mid‑morning, with onshore breeze building to 10–15 knots in the afternoon. Air temps are sitting mid‑60s at dawn, pushing into the mid‑70s later. Water temps are generally in the high‑60s to low‑70s nearshore, a touch warmer around the offshore banks. Sunrise is right around 6 a.m., sunset just after 8 p.m., giving a nice long window to work that low light. Tide is running a predawn high dropping to a mid‑morning low, then a moderate afternoon flood – classic pattern that’s been turning fish on during the first push of outgoing and again on the late incoming. On the Sea of Cortez side, from Bahia de Los Angeles down toward La Paz, winds have been lighter in the mornings with a bit more afternoon chop as the thermal breeze fills in. The water is a degree or two warmer here, and that’s been key for the pelagics. Fish activity has been solid. Inshore along the Pacific kelp lines, anglers have been putting good numbers of **calico bass**, smaller **yellowtail**, and a mix of **barracuda** and **bonito** on the deck. Around Todos Santos and the nearby high spots, half‑day runs have been averaging limits or close on calicos with a few quality fish in the 4–6 pound class, plus a pick on 8–15 pound yellowtail. Surface iron and 4–5 inch swimbaits in sardine and mint patterns have been the ticket, especially when worked tight to boiler rocks on the falling tide. Farther south, off San Quintín and the local bancos, panga fleets have been scoring steady **yellowtail** and some early‑season **white seabass**. Most of the yellows have been school‑size 10–18 pounds, with the odd bigger model mixed in. Fly‑lined live sardines and mackerel are still king, but yo‑yo jigs in scrambled‑egg and blue/white are putting in work when the fish sound. Best bite has been mid‑morning when the current starts to lean. On the Cortez, the story is bait and birds. Around Bahia de Los Angeles, boats working the channel edges and island points have been hooking **yellowtail** and **leopard grouper**, mostly on live bait slow‑trolled or dropped on meter marks. Down around La Paz and the nearby seamounts, there’s been a nice pick of **dorado** and school‑size **tuna** when the water stays clean. Trolled feathers and small cedar plugs in purple/black and zucchini are drawing strikes, with live sardina or chunked bait sealing the deal when fish pop up but don’t want to commit. As for lures and bait, keep it simple and local. On the Pacific inshore, pack surface irons, 1–3 ounce metal jigs, and 4–6 inch swimbaits in bait‑style colors. On the Cortez, bring small trolling feathers, diving plugs, and fluorocarbon leaders; then load up on whatever live bait the pangeros are selling at the dock – sardinas, anchoveta, or mackerel. Live bait on light wire hooks has outfished dead bait most days, but a well‑presented strip of fresh bonito will still get chewed. A couple of hotspots to circle on your chart: First, **San Quintín Bay and the outer reefs** – classic Baja mix of inshore and near‑offshore structure, with calico, sand bass, rockfish, and yellowtail all within a short run when the wind cooperates. Second, the islands and points around **Bahia de Los Angeles** – current edges and rocky points there have been steady for yellowtail and grouper, especially on the change of tide. That’s your Baja rundown from Artificial Lure. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.
