On my way on the 13th October, not back till end of March. 50 miles Nort of Cabo on the Pacific side, ninth year in a row, love it! Hoping the fishing is good this year, tough year down there last year, very cold water all winter. Renegade Mike is great, fished with him before. Beauty Bertrum he runs and goes to where the fish are, look at his prices,can't beat them for Cabo.
As for saftey CL, the Baja is the only part of Mexico without a travel advisory. Hasn't been a tourist related death there since the 80's. The only gringos to go since then have killed themselves (suicide) or been drunk or high on something and fell or something like that. I take my family of 4, 7yr old girl and 3yr old boy, been taking them since the were born. Nothing to worry about! Not saying to hang out in downtown TJ on a Friday night but plenty safe down at the southern end and the fishing is insane.
Just bought pesos yesterday, 13 pesos to the CND dollar, with ice cold Pacifico costing 5 pesos that's 2.5 beer for a buck, 30 degree weather, can't beat it.
Always looking for fishing partners when I am down there so if anyone looking to split some costs PM me or send me and email.
