Sorry to intrude on the ten-best stuff, which is wonderful, but does
anyone here have experience in Bahia Magdalena, Loreto, or the East Cape
in Baja? That's where I intend to fish in January.

There's an interesting article in Fly Rod&Reel (jan/feb) about fishing
for Dorado out of Lareto. They caught lots of Dorado, but also a huge
Humboldt squid! -- among other things. The variety of fish (and
cephalopod) species on Baja is said to be impressive.

I'm taking conventional gear along with fly fishing tackle. It's hard to
throw 1 oz. jointed minnows with a fly rod. :-)

Lucky bastid :-)

Speaking of squid:
Wonder what weight rod you'd need to wrestle one of these into the boat
