Just few of the more popular Baja sportfish are Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Sailfish, Yellow Tail, Wahoo, Dorado, Cabrilla, Groupers, Jack Cravelle, Cabrilla,  Yellow Fin, Rosterfish, and Sierra.
 

fish4.JPG (8500 bytes)The best months in Baja for the majority of the most popular sport fish are April thru November (see chart below).  But great fishing can be had any time of year.

 

Most fishing is done aboard Mexican owned Ponga's and Super Ponga's - although there are also larger boats available in many locations.

 

Although the Ponga's are usually the preferred method of fishing, plenty of action can also be had from the shore, from a kayak, or in a zodiac.
