Fly Fishing for
Gamefish in East Cape, Baja, Mexico
The Reel Baja specializes in fly fishing targeting gamefish from three distinctive
zones in the Sea of Cortez: the beach, inshore and offshore.
Beach fishing consists of walking or vehicle transportation to locate and
sight cast to fish close to shore. Typically we are targeting
roosterfish, jack crevalle, pompano, ladyfish and many other species
depending on the time of year and the conditions.
Inshore pursuits are performed from fast and agile pangas or cruisers
that are able to cruise in shallow depths and locate fish along
reefs and shore breaks. Fishing inshore typically keys in on jack
crevalle, roosterfish, pargo, sierra mackerel and other exotic
species depending on the time of year.
Offshore fishing utilizes both pangas and cruiser-style boats
to pursue large game fish such as striped marlin, blue marlin,
sailfish, yellowfin tuna, dorado and bonito.
The East Cape region of Baja Sur Mexico has remained a rich and
diverse environment that even today supports more than 850 species
of fish. The Sea of Cortez features spectacular green and blue
waters set against a majestic and awesome desert landscape.
The protected waters of the Sea of Cortez are typically a much
calmer nautical experience than fishing the offshore waters of
the Pacific or Atlantic oceans.
Fishing the Sea of Cortez is still dominated by local family fishermen
and adventuresome sportsmen. Both have garnered a certain love
and respect for the prized resource and work diligently to protect
it. Both local captains and North American anglers have united
to practice catch and release to ensure a long and rich resource
for many generations to come.
The local captains and deck hands utilized by The Reel Baja are
instinctual fisherman following the lessons learned from fathers,
uncles and grandfathers. Spending time fly fishing on the water with these
born and raised fisherman will take you back to a genre reminiscent
of a time and place so well captured by the pen of Hemingway and
his accounts of time spent on the Sea of Cortez.
The real reward of fishing with The Reel Baja in the East Cape
region is the opportunity to step back in time, leave the stress
and pace behind and to enjoy a rich and unspoiled diverse fishing
environment found nowhere else in the world. You will come away
from your East Cape fly fishing experience with new appreciation, new skills
and a new passion for a unique and beautiful corner of the world.
