5.0 out of 5 stars Don't leave home without it, October 9, 2003

This review is from: The Baja Catch: A Fishing, Travel & Remote Camping Manual for Baja California (3rd Edition) (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "Bible" - on 3rd copy, wore out 1st two, June 7, 1998

This review is from: The Baja Catch: A Fishing, Travel & Remote Camping Manual for Baja California (3rd Edition) (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this book - save Baja for the rest of us!, April 21, 1999

This review is from: The Baja Catch: A Fishing, Travel & Remote Camping Manual for Baja California (3rd Edition) (Paperback)

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.
