Josh, Mike, Steve & Pete Wolf of Leapin' Bass Custom Rods (leapinbass.com) headed out but we heard of the bumpy conditions outside & decided to head up the baja coast for some bass fishing. We dropped Mike back @ the hotel & headed for salsapuentes. We fished the kelp at the N end of the bay for 40+ bass up to 7 lbs. All were caught on a variety of plastics & released. Lingcod, sandbass & rockfish also made it into the mix. We tried around miguel for a few. Arrived @ Hotel 1:30 pm.

With very calm conditions on saturday the same crew headed on a 230 deg. heading for 39 miles until the 64 Deg. water jumped to 66.6. We put the jigs in & worked the edge picking a fish here & there but getting 1 bait fish on each stop. We had 8 or 9 15-20lb class albies for the morning but experienced a mid-day lull with the exception of a blind jig strike by a 12 lb dorado followed by another one that ate both a sardine thrown by Pete & a plastic thrown by Josh. Early afternoon we got a triple that went WFO for about 1.5 hrs till we were out of bait. All the fish were 15-20 lbs with 2 about 30 lbs. Arrived @ Hotel 1:30 pm.

Sunday we went for a short day of bass fishing around Punta Banda. Fishing was very slow w/only 3 bass caught but 2 were 4 lbs. A few sm. lings & olive rockfish later we decided to head in. In the middle of Ensenada bay we spotted boils & birds crashing so we stopped & caught & released a bunch of bonito on the bass gear. They hit trolled plastics & rapala’s or by throwing iron.
