I'm finally able to take the kind of trip I've been wanting to for years. A buddy of mine and I are going to drive down into baja for 1.5-2 weeks and fish & surf it up all over the place...sleeping in the tent I just bought...and eating vast quantities of the fish we catch.

My buddy & I just started to research different locations in baja for fishing/spearfishing/surfing and what I'm hoping for is for anyone with SPECIFIC information about locations to perhaps offer up directions (and related info) about different spots either on the pacific or gulf side of northern baja california. I'll either be renting a vehicle or taking my own down. If you mention a spot, please state whether or not a 4x4 is necessary, or if a regular SUV (i.e. 4x2) could handle it.

We're going to bring the surfing mexico book (or the like) for reference as well. My spanish is poor-to-bleak but my buddies is actually quite good, so we should be able to get around without any hassles. We already know about Mexican fishing licenses, car insurance, and the declaration for entry form.

We may take our kayaks if we can find a way to transport them safetly. Longboards (and my 7'2" shortboard for the 6'-9' stuff if we're lucky) are definitely going as well. Two BIG ice chests are going, one packed solid with blocks of ice and taped shut.

So...anyone have any location information for me or other things I should be aware of before we cross da border?

thanks in advance,
F.
