 Don't leave home without it |
| Review Date: October 9, 2003 |
| Reviewer: Steven Sammons, Auburn University, AL United States |
| The best, simply the BEST, most comprhensive guide to camping and fishing a place that I have EVER seen. I would never go down there without having read this book. The camping info is 100% accurate, and the fishing tips are not bad either. I have found exactly the species of fish in certain areas as indicated on their maps numerous times. The fishing calendars are not too bad, but I would not rely on them 100%- there is a lot we don't know about how the fishes of the Sea of Cortez move up and down the coast. As the authors state in their book, if you go where they say, do what they do, and fish with what they suggest, there is absolutely NO WAY you won't catch fish every day you are down there. This is an absolute must for people wanting to camp on the beach and fish near shore. If you are not into fishing, or prefer to fish offshore for billfish etc., then as the authors are quick to say, you are better off with a different product. This is truly the final word on Baja fishing from a small boat. Period. You are stupid if you go down there without having read this first. Period. |
A "Bible" - on 3rd copy, wore out 1st two

| This book saved me $$$$ on 1st fishing trip to Baja. Above that, it saved me much frustration and lent tremendously to the overall success of the trip. Have recommended it to many people headed for the beaches of Baja. I have engineered, designed and built my own Baja trailer and would like to share this with the authors for any upcoming editions of this "Bible". Also, I would like to see a review of the Porte Boat mentioned with the tin and inflatable boats. I have used this boat in Baja, Northwest mountain lakes, Puget Sound and Southeast Alaska (both freshwater and saltwater shoals). Please contact me for futher comments. Again, many thanks for this guide. Incidentally, my success is from Punta Chivato to south of Loreto using Mulege as a base. |
Don't buy this book - save Baja for the rest of us!

| This book is hands down the best book on fishing and on Baja I have ever found, and I have looked long and hard. Color pictures would be nice for the 4th addition, but they are by no means necessary. |
A must have for Baja travelers

| This book is packed with lots of great information even if you aren't a fisherman. There is great info on how to get to many of the best camping sites in Baja and what you will find there. This book-The Baja Catch and The Baja Adventure Book by Walt Peterson are my two recommendations. |
FISH ON!

| 2 buddies and I sailed from San Diego to Los Cabos and were given this book before we left. It was absolutely right on with just about everything and we were able to skip all the "trial and error" that comes with fishing. There is nothing like hooking into those stubborn Dorado or even cruising the bays and catching Bonito on steelhead tackle. This book was a lifesaver and if you plan to fish in Baja this will be worth its weight in gold. Don't forget the LONG needle nose pliers! |
Very impressive collection of maps and information!

| If you have every other book on Baja, you might as well add this to your collection. I found the information about areas of Baja which I have personally been to both accurate and interesting, which leads me to believe the best about the many other areas which I have not been to yet. The author has assembled an amazing collection of fishing information on the beaches and coastal waters which surround the Baja Peninsula. Baja is an amazing place and this book will provide you with useful new information for both the first time traveler and seasoned explorer alike! |
This is a wonderful book on the Baja

| I bought this book hoping to get some insights for my up coming trip to the Cabo/Baja area. I was very disappointed. The book is FAR MORE a campers guide than a fishing guide. Inspite of being a 3rd edition the pictures look VERY OLD! And judging by the tackle, lures, boats and vehicles in the pics they all seem to have been taken in the 70's. As to fishing info, very general at best. Very little on specific tackle, riggings etc. And the "best times to fish" calendars conflict completely with just about all other guides (at least for the areas I was interested in). If you plan to trailer a camper or camp out it seems to have a lot of info on camp sites. But if you're looking for a Baja fishing guide, save your money. |
